Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 219

Leanna was dragged out of bed by Zoe first thing in the morning on Saturday before Zoe forced her to dress up.

Leanna sat in front of the window as she squinted from the strong sunlight.

Zoe let out a sigh. "What a beautiful day! It's a good day to go on a date. I'd have to pack and leave soon."

Hearing this, Leanna let out a yawn. "Where are you off to at such an hour in the morning?"

"Isn't it winter holidays now? I'm going to a nearby university to see if any innocent young men might need help with their luggage. It'd be my lucky day if I met any. It's a rare opportunity for me."

Leanna really did not know what to do with Zoe.

Once Leanna was done packing up, Elijah's call came through.

After sending Leanna down, Zoe headed back upstairs and was about to make up for her lack of sleep when she bumped into Daniel returning from his morning run while she waited for the elevator.

The two simply greeted each other and fell silent.

As the elevator slowly ascended, the increasingly awkward atmosphere made things worse in the small space.

Suddenly, Daniel let out a cough and thought of a topic to start a conversation. "I heard from Elijah that Miss McKinney is going to Constellation Tech's annual meeting?"

Zoe merely nodded when she heard this. "I just sent her off downstairs."

Then, in the next moment, the two ran out of things to talk about.

Once the elevator door opened on Zoe's floor, she quickly stepped out. Just as she was about to open the door to her house, Daniel's voice was heard from behind. "I'm sorry about last time. If you're free, can I invite you to dinner tonight?"

After a few seconds of silence, she raised the corner of her mouth and turned her head as she put on a calm front. "It's not quite… right if it's just the two of us."

"Miss McKinney's brother will join us as well."

This sentence immediately made her choke on her saliva. " If that's the case, I'll see you tonight then."

"I'll see you tonight." He nodded slightly before the two parted ways.
