Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 502

When the elevator doors opened, Jimmy led Leanna to the entrance of an office and introduced the place. "Miss McKinney, this used to be Mr. Crossley's office. All the files are already there."

Leanna glanced at it. "I don't like the layout. Can you alter it by today?"

He probably hadn't expected her to say that, which was why he froze for a moment. "T-Today?"

Freddie drawled, "If you think that it's too soon, I can suggest a way."

Jimmy said instinctively, "And that is?"

"You can ask Mr. Pearson about that. He has always been effective in resolving those kinds of things."

Jimmy was speechless. How can he threaten me like this?

He wiped his damp forehead and fell silent for a while. He had initially planned to intimidate Leanna yet now, he had not only failed but was instead intimidated in return. The way she wants Mr. Crossley's original office refurbished as soon as she arrives shows that she's about to take his place and gain an advantage. How ambitious of her! Jimmy now realized that getting Leanna to come over to the Crossley Group was probably not a good decision.

As Leanna heard no reply from Jimmy, she glanced sideways at him. "Do you have an issue with it?"

Even Freddie had looked at him.

Jimmy quickly straightened his back. "No! Of course not. I'll send the order now. It will be completed today even if we have to work overtime."

Leanna made a noise of assent and turned around. "Then please ask someone to send those files to the meeting room."
