Chapter 231

At the studio.

When Leanna arrived at the studio, she found Louis sorting through the orders in her office while Zoe was asleep at the front desk.

When Zoe saw Leanna, she shot to her feet. "Nana, didn't I tell you to stay home for the next two days? Why are you back so soon?"

"The wound is not that serious," Leanna replied, walking over to her. "I am all healed now, and it is so boring to be cooped up at home."

"Oh, right. You said you were going to Weavside soon, right?" Zoe yawned. "When will you be going?"

"My flight is tomorrow evening," answered Leanna.

"How long will you be gone for? Will you only be back for Christmas?"

Leanna chuckled. "I would only be away for two or three days at most, so I will be back."

Zoe nodded. "That is good. I was just telling Louis that if you are not back for Christmas, we will spend Christmas with you over there. I don't want to head back home this year. That way, I don't have to listen to my parents nagging me about Anthony and marriage. Just listening to them makes me want to pull my hair out."

Leanna went silent upon hearing that. "I bumped into Daniel at the elevator on my way here. He has asked me to tell you he is very sorry about what happened that day."

Zoe waved her hand and nonchalantly said, "He has also asked Louis to pass the message. I don't care about it anymore. I will just be more careful in the future."

As they were talking, Louis came out of the office and glanced at the clock. "I have to head out for a while."

Leanna nodded. "Where are you going?"

"It is just an errand. I will be back soon."

"I see. Go on."

After Louis left the studio, Zoe whispered, "Is he dating someone? He's acting very mysterious lately."

Leanna shook her head. "No way."

Zoe sighed. "Why are those beloved by fate and destiny so high in demand yet refuse to date anyone while people like us who dream of dating someone can never find someone? Life is so unfair!"
