Chapter 443
Leanna didn't have much else to do at the Crossley Residence. She merely came back because she was worried Lloyd might think she wouldn't return after she stayed at Aidan's place the night before. But thanks to this trip, I have finally found out where he locked Jethro up.
She emerged from her room, and her attention turned to Lloyd's bedroom. She had a feeling the safe didn't just contain the watch. Something more important was in there. But I've gone in there once and escaped out of pure luck. I cannot risk it further.
She composed herself and left for the studio. Daniel was there when she came in. She said hi to everyone and entered her office.
Zoe took the chance to get away from Daniel. She, too, went into Leanna's office.
Leanna had just sat down when Zoe came in. She asked, "What's wrong?"
Zoe leaned on her table and sighed. "I don't know. I just think he's annoying."
"He's annoying?" Leanna asked.
Zoe nodded. "Yeah."
"What kind of annoying?"
"Um…" Zoe mused over it. "I just feel annoyed every time he comes near me, every time he talks to me, and especially every time he's being nice to me."
At that, a smile had curled Leanna's lips. She said, "I used to be in the same place."

"Back when Aidan started wooing me."
