Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 411

At the hotel's entrance, Zoe's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when she saw Daniel exit the car before he was followed by Elijah. What on earth is going on?

At the hotel's entrance, Zoe's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when she saw Daniel exit the car before he was followed by Elijah. What on earth is going on?

Elijah met her gaze and greeted her with a grin, "Hi, Zoe."

She forced a smile and waved at him. "Um! Daniel, can you accompany me to get something?"

He nodded, turned to Elijah, and said, "You should go up first."

"Sure."

As soon as Elijah left, Zoe pulled Daniel aside and demanded, "What are you doing?"

"What?" He was perplexed by her unexpected question.

"What exactly have you said? Why did you ask Elijah to come?"

"I was with him when you called, and you told me to invite my friend to Miss McKinney's birthday banquet. So, I invited him." Then, he continued, "Aren't you guys his friends?"

She gritted her teeth and emphasized, "Of course we are! Perhaps you should have given this some consideration. You knew Elijah had pursued Nana in the past, and President Pearson would be present at this banquet. Don't you think it'll make things awkward later?"

Zoe's words caught Daniel off guard. "You didn't tell me President Pearson would also be coming."

She was at a complete loss for words and found it challenging to convey her point to him.

He pondered for a moment before saying, "It's nothing to worry about. Anyway, it's all in the past. Besides, isn't Miss McKinney currently in a relationship with President Pearson? Moreover, Elijah has moved on."

She drew a deep breath and sighed, "Never mind. You won't get it even if I explain it to you."

At that moment, Zoe pulled out her phone and was about to text Leanna alerting her to a potentially awkward situation, when a Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of her. Suddenly, Aidan appeared in her line of sight. She quickly hid the phone behind her back; perhaps her guilty conscience prompted her to act in such a manner. Then, he cast a cursory look in her direction. Did he notice her odd behavior earlier?

Concurrently, Leanna exited the car from the other side. Although Zoe made a valiant effort to wink at her, she failed to catch on and raised an eyebrow in confusion.

After a while, Leanna tentatively inquired, "W-What's wrong?"

Aidan averted his gaze from Zoe and then blocked Leanna's path, claiming, "Her eyes are hurt."

Leanna rubbed her neck as she attempted to sort out her confusion. As a result, Zoe had no choice but to accept whatever path life had in store for them.

Meanwhile, the awkward atmosphere pervaded the room upstairs as well.
