Chapter 248

Leanna awkwardly touched her neck and coughed. "Um. I'll take a shower now."

Zoe looked at her and felt something was fishy. If she guessed it right, that b*stard must have taken advantage of Leanna again.

Leanna nodded. "Okay."

"Yeah. I got back yesterday."

"If you've got nothing this weekend, I've got two tickets for a Broadway show. Let's watch it."

"Elijah." She pressed her lips together before rejecting. "I don't like watching broadway shows. You should watch it with someone else."

"It's okay." Leanna continued. "I'm really grateful to you for helping me, but I'm sorry. I think I have to be clear with you—"
