Chapter 436

Leanna didn't enter the building immediately upon arriving at the Pearson Group. First, she went to a nearby bakery and bought a few things before heading up to Aidan's office.

Aidan was in a meeting.

"The meeting will end in about half an hour, Miss McKinney. Please have a seat," Jonathan said.

She smiled. "Alright."

She took out one of the pastries she had bought and handed it over to him. "I bought a lot. You can have this."

He was a little surprised. He didn't expect her to include his share when she dropped by with lovingly prepared snacks for Aidan. "Oh, my. You shouldn't have."

Yet, even as he said so, his hand reached out to take it from her.

Just then, another one of Aidan's assistants knocked on the door. There was a document that required Jonathan's attention.

He cleared his throat before saying, "I'll get going then, Miss McKinney. Let me know if you need anything."

Leanna nodded. "Will do."

Once he left, she sat on the couch and occupied herself with her phone for a while. Soon, she began to feel rather drowsy.

She hadn't slept a wink last night, and her eyes were drooping heavily now. It wasn't long before she dozed off.

When Aidan came back to his office after the meeting ended, he was greeted by the sight of a woman sleeping on his couch.

He stopped in his tracks.

The two executives who followed along behind him stopped as well, but they didn't know what was going on inside the president's office as Aidan blocked their view.

He turned around and eyed them before stating calmly, "Go back to work first. Come here in an hour."

The two executives got the hint and left at once.

Aidan closed the door and went over to the couch.

He sat down beside Leanna and was about to wake her up when he saw the dark eye circles she sported. It was clear that she didn't sleep well last night.

He took his tie off and shrugged off his jacket before draping it over her. He picked up a folder from the coffee table and began to go through the documents inside.

Leanna ended up sleeping for four whole hours. The sky was completely dark by the time she opened her eyes again.

She stretched lazily and yawned, but her hand brushed against something.
