Chapter 298

The next night, Daniel gave Leanna an invitation to the bidder conference.

Leanna sat in the room while putting the invitation next to the pocket watch as she pursed her lips gently.

Rather than a bidder conference, it is more like a business alliance for Crossley Group. The Crossleys are probably going to use the conference to consolidate their position, similar to when the Pearsons were using the Barnetts to enlist their connections. So, all the invitees are probably bigwigs. If I appear in the bidder conference, I will catch Lloyd and Georgina off guard. However, this approach is too risky, and I'm still thinking if I should do it.

After a while, Leanna took out her cell phone to call Aidan.

Soon, his low, husky voice came from the other end of the line. "Miss me already?"

Leanna was unamused upon hearing that.

Before she said anything, Aidan continued, "I've told you to move in with me. It would have been so much more convenient."

Only after a while did Leanna say, "Since you are sleeping, forget it."

"I'm awake. What's the matter?"

Leanna said, "I…"

The words came to her lips, but she didn't know how to say them.

Hearing her hesitation, Aidan said, "Say no more. I'll come to you."

"What? There's no need…"

Before Leanna could finish her words, she could only hear a beep.

Why is this b*stard so smart?

After hanging up the phone, Leanna stood on the balcony. For some reason, her anxiety lessened and she gradually calmed down.

After half an hour, Aidan called and said, "Come down."

Leanna rubbed her nose and trotted out the door.

As soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw Aidan coming over.

Leanna asked, "Why did you come in?"

Aidan answered upon hearing that, "It's cold outside."
