Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 250

After Elijah said that, blood rushed through Maya's face in utter embarrassment, and Raymond cast her a thoughtful look for a couple of seconds before saying to Elijah, "Then, I'll visit you personally after this and not bother you today, President Parker." Giving a nod to Leanna, he added, "See you again, Miss McKinney."

When he was gone, Maya glared at Leanna in anger. "Did the both of you conspire to embarrass me?"

Laughing, Leanna asked, "Did I invite you over?"

"You—" Maya bit her lip. "Just you wait!" She scoffed and stomped her feet before leaving in brisk steps.

Elijah looked away and turned to Leanna. "That's just how she is, Leanna. Ignore her."

A soft smile spread across her face. "I know."

Since Maya was here to provoke her on purpose, she would have let Maya be satisfied over it if she got mad because of this. After a short pause, she asked, "So, what's up?"

Pursing his lips, Elijah then said, "Leanna, tomorrow is Mr. Jackson's birthday party, and he wants me to bring you along."

This caught her by surprise. "Me?"

"Yes," he answered. "It's fine if you don't want to attend. I'll just find an excuse to tell him that I'm not going."

"I don't think that's a good idea…" She gave it a thought and asked, "What time tomorrow?"

The last time she had dinner at Mr. Jackson's place, she still hadn't thanked him for it yet, and now he had specially invited her to his birthday party—there was no way she could possibly turn him down. Furthermore, it would be very awkward if Elijah didn't show up because of her.

Almost unnoticeably, Elijah breathed a sigh of relief. "Tomorrow at 7.00PM. I'll pick you up at 6.00PM."

She nodded her head softly. "Okay."

As Elijah had something else to attend to, he didn't stay long and left soon afterward.

After standing in the same spot for a while, Leanna sighed and picked up the necklace Maya had thrown on the floor.
