Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 439

Right after Leanna returned to the studio, Zoe came up to her and dragged her into the pantry. "So, what did the cops say? Did they get any clues?"

Leanna shook her head. "No. They just asked me some basic questions."

Zoe clicked her tongue. "That Elliot guy probably had a lot of enemies. It's gonna be hard to find who's the killer."

Feeling rather thirsty, Leanna grabbed a cup and poured herself some water. "I saw Queenie, by the way."

"Why was she there?"

"Same reason I was there." Leanna took a swig of water before continuing, "But I think…"

"What? Did you notice something?" asked Zoe.

Leanna snapped out of it and shook her head. "It's nothing. We should wait for the results."

"I called Jamie. We're gonna hang out at the bar we went to last time. You wanna come? I got Daniel with me. Why don't you call Aidan, too?"

"Better not. He's still angry at me."

It had been nearly a day, but Aidan didn't even give her a call or text. She texted him good morning earlier, but he still hadn't replied to her.

Happily, Zoe said, "Cool. Let's go, then. We can let loose without him around."

Leanna heaved a sigh. "You guys have fun. I'll have to get through the pile of drafts."

Well, work is the top priority. "Sure. Don't burn the midnight oil, though. Don't stress yourself out," Zoe reminded.

Leanna smiled. "Sure."

She spent the whole afternoon in the office coming up with a few drafts. Once she was done with the last one, she stretched her arms. Whoa, it's already dark outside. What's the time? Whoa, eleven? That's late. She looked at her phone, but there were still no texts from Aidan. He's so petty, she grumbled in silence before she packed her stuff and left the office, calling Jonathan at the same time.
