Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 389

Leanna sat in the lounge for half an hour, scrolling through the news on her phone the whole time. Unfortunately, the situation had taken a turn for the worse, with many claiming to be designers stepping forward to demand a reasonable explanation. It was also highly suspicious that not one of the designers who participated in the competition before this made a scene at all.

Clearly, these people were bribed by someone to blow up this matter on purpose. She only switched off her phone when her eyes started burning due to the strain.

Another thirty minutes passed, and the footsteps echoed from the door. Leanna sprang to her feet, but the one who came in was Jonathan instead.

"Miss McKinney, Old Mr. Pearson has asked for an emergency shareholders meeting right now, and I don't know when it will end," he said. "Why don't you return first?"

When she heard that, she was quiet for a few seconds before nodding softly. "Okay."

Staying here won't be of any help at all, she thought.

After Jonathan sent her downstairs, he returned into the building again in a rush. She turned her head around, stared at the brightly lit building, and knitted her brows. Then, suddenly, she knew what she had to do.

In the car, she whisked out her phone and found Freddie's number that she had saved previously. After he picked up the phone, she didn't bother beating around the bush, "Are you free? I would like to discuss something with you."

Freddie happened to be on the way. "Sure. Where are we meeting?"

Leanna asked for his location and chose a coffee house nearby. After ten minutes, she literally got out of the car at the same time as him.

He raised his brows when he saw her. There was no need for her to say the purpose behind her invitation; he knew why she requested for a meeting.

When they were comfortably seated in the coffee house, he asked, "I saw the news. Are you planning to sue the people for slander? But this matter is such a big commotion now, so I reckon that it won't have much effect."
