Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 353

Chapter 353

Leanna was done with her work around three in the afternoon. After a glance at the clock and around her office to ensure there was nothing else to do, she packed up her things and headed to the door.

Now that she knew where Celia lived, she could drive straight over to Celia's home. Of course, even if Celia had left, her neighbors would surely know something about where she went.

However, just as she reached the door, a familiar figure appeared before her.

Carly awkwardly smiled at her.

Leanna paused and greeted, "Miss Barnett."

"Don't," Carly said with a bitter smile. "Do not be so formal. With how the Barnetts are doing, you do not need to call me Miss Barnett."

Leanna glanced at Carly's stroller and took a few steps away from the door. "Come in."

Today, Carly was dressed extremely casually, without a proper piece of jewelry. She did not look at all like a proud daughter of the Barnetts. Perhaps it was because she was with her child.

Leanna asked for two glasses of water from the receptionist before leading Carly to the break room. Carly was visibly uneasy the entire time. She only relaxed slightly after she downed the whole glass of water.

"Miss..."

Leanna had subconsciously called out "Miss Barnett" before recalling what Carly had just said. She faltered as she wondered what she should call Carly now.

"If you don't mind, you can just call me Carly," said Carly as she put her glass on the table.

Leanna nodded. "Carly."
