Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 212

Chapter 212

Aidan used his businesslike tone and said, "There's a poker game happening tonight. Come with me."

Leanna was startled for a moment, but she nodded. "Alright."

"So, we can get dinner now, right?"

Leanna laughed dryly and passed the folder back to him. "Do whatever you want, President Pearson."

He leaned back into the seat and closed his eyes.

Less than two minutes later, Leanna's phone started ringing.

It was a call from Elijah.

She cast a glance at the man beside her. She didn't know if he was actually asleep or just faking it, but after a moment of hesitation, she decided to answer the call.

"Leanna, I heard about everything from Zoe. Do you need my help?" Elijah asked.

Her instinctive response was to say no. The word was on the tip of her tongue when she suddenly changed her mind. "Yes, please. Thank you."

Beside her, Aidan slowly opened his eyes.

After hanging up, she turned around and looked straight into his deep, brooding eyes.

He looked away and stated plainly, "We're here. Get off."

Leanna wanted to stick to her resolve and skip dinner, but it was torture for someone who had skipped lunch to sit and watch someone else eat.

She took a deep breath before heading out of the restaurant to buy something for herself.

Aidan stared at her as she walked off. There was no expression on his face as he asked, "What goes on in that head of hers?"

Jonathan, who was standing beside him, didn't know what to say.

Her intentions were obvious. She was keeping a distance between them.

No matter what Aidan did to create opportunities between them, chances were they weren't going to amount to much.

Leanna's thoughts were rather simple. Since she couldn't avoid seeing that b*stard, she decided to just deal with the situation head-on.

Aidan stood up and followed her out the door.

She had just sat down at a table in front of the convenience store to dig into her to-go meal when the box was snatched out of her hands. Her cutlery disappeared as well.

She was perplexed and a little disgruntled. "Weren't you having dinner, President Pearson?"
