Chapter 213

In the private room.

The moment Aidan stepped into the room, the temperature seemed to drop several degrees lower.

The air was tense and rather uncomfortable.

One of the men seated around the poker table muttered, "What's with President Pearson?"

Oscar glanced at the man knocking back glasses of alcohol on the couch. "My guess is he got bitten."

What?

"That wild, huh? I didn't hear about President Pearson getting close to any woman recently, though," one of the other men commented.

Oscar smiled knowingly without saying anything.

Just then, the door opened again, and the perpetrator who did the biting came in.

He looked toward the door and was taken aback when he saw Leanna walk in. He didn't think that Aidan would've been able to bring her here.

Aren't they at loggerheads right now?

After catching Oscar's eye, Leanna nodded lightly in greeting.

Then, she walked over to Aidan and sat down beside him.

Oscar quirked his eyebrows and looked away.

"Who's that? She's quite pretty. Is she a new model or celebrity that President Pearson's investing in?" someone asked.

Oscar shuffled the cards and answered off-handedly, "President Pearson's ex-wife."

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Didn't Aidan hate his ex-wife? He finally managed to get a divorce, so why were they hanging out together again?

All this while, Aidan sat in his corner without talking.

Leanna sat there in silence as well.

In any case, he only said that she needed to accompany him to the poker game. He didn't say she had to do anything.
