Chapter 234

"Whatever," Leanna eventually responded.

"Please give me a secure room," she added. "If anyone sneaks into my room in the middle of the night, I will call the police."

The manager stared back at her, speechless.

He snuck a glance at Aidan to seek his opinion before swiftly replying to Leanna, "Very well, Miss. I will lead you to your room."

She smiled. "It is fine. There is someone else standing right here who can lead the way, right?"

She then walked toward the elevator.

Aidan shoved his hands into his pockets and slowly walked behind her.

He strode into the lift and pressed the button for the top floor.

Jonathan did not follow them into the elevator, so it was only the two of them inside.

She silently stood there with her eyes darting around to study the elevator.

Aidan glanced at her and took a step closer to her. Just as his lips parted to speak, she dashed back to cling to the elevator wall. "Do not try it again, President Pearson," she declared, crossing her arms before her chest. "Cameras are watching."

He grabbed her hood and dragged her closer to him. "Do you think that is enough to keep me away if I truly wanted to do something to you?"

"Please mind your words. Do not speak of the law with such disdain. Every word you speak is currently being recorded."

He chuckled. "It is such a shame you did not study law, Leanna."

"That only proves that someone will shine in whatever industry they want to when they are that talented."

"You would surely come out of a talk show as a winner."

Leanna was rendered speechless by that.

Well, that was not a bad suggestion.

"What are you doing here?" Aidan calmly asked, letting go of her hood.

"There is no rule that states only you may come or that I cannot."

"I have some business to attend to," he stated.
