Chapter 288

At 3.00AM, Leanna was in a drowsy, sleepy state when she suddenly heard a buzz from her phone that was placed on her nightstand.

She thought that it was her alarm, so she grabbed it and tapped on it randomly before putting it aside to continue sleeping.

Yet not long after that, her phone started to vibrate on her blanket and she finally awoke from the commotion. Her eyes were half-shut as she held her phone in front of her. Eventually, she saw that it was not her alarm but the b*stard on the line.

She took the call and placed the phone next to her ear before responding in a hoarse voice, "Yes."

On the other end, Aidan's voice paused for a moment. "Were you asleep?"

Leanna shut her eyes and it took her a lot of effort to continue speaking, "It's literally 3.00AM, what else can I be doing? President Pearson, why are you awake?"

"I just got off my flight."

All of a sudden, she jolted awake and became speechless. I'd nearly forgotten that the b*stard is arriving back from abroad tonight!

As soon as he heard the voice on the other end go silent, he asked, "Have you gone to sleep?"

"No." Leanna slowly sat up in bed and leaned against the headboard. "President Pearson, have you arrived back home?"

"I'm downstairs. Come down."

Momentarily stunned, Leanna came to her senses and realized that he was actually downstairs in her residential area.

She hung up the phone, grabbed a jacket, and put it on before heading out of the door.

Although spring had arrived, the weather at night was still low. As the cold wind swept across, one could still feel the chilly breeze.

Leanna had just arrived downstairs when she saw his strapping figure slightly hunched against his car. At that point, she noticed his sharp features and the cold look in his eyes.

Ever since their meal together last time, she had not seen him again from then on.

She heaved a faint sigh before slowing down her footsteps as she made her way toward him.

Then, she stood behind him and asked, "It's late now. Why are you here? Why didn't you head home?"

Aidan lifted his brows slightly and reached out to pull her into his arms. Subsequently, he spoke in a low voice into her ears, "I wanted to see you right away."

Leanna felt her heart thud frantically and it took her a moment to react. "You will be able to see me tomorrow. No, wait—actually, it's today. It's just in a matter of a few hours."
