Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 665

Chapter 665 Plans Can’t Keep Up With Changes

In the studio, Leanna sat at her desk, propping her chin up with one hand and gazing absentmindedly at the bright sunlight outside.

She didn't know how Aidan was doing or if the board meeting was going smoothly. As time passed, the sun rose higher in the sky and the heat enveloped the entire city.

Just as Leanna stood up to make herself a cup of coffee, she heard a commotion outside the studio. People were gathering and engaged in a heated discussion.

The young women in the studio were also drawn to the commotion and craned their necks to see what was happening.

Leanna absentmindedly put down her water glass and, for some reason, walked out slowly.

As she passed through the bustling crowd, she saw a man in a white dress shirt and black trousers leaning against a black sedan, holding a bouquet of fiery red roses in one hand. The sun's rays highlighted his lazy and carefree expression.

Leanna was stunned at the sight.

Aidan met her gaze, his eyebrows slightly raised. He walked towards her and handed her the flowers, saying, "May I have the honor of inviting this beautiful lady to lunch?"

There was an instant uproar around them as people speculated who this domineering bigshot was and why he was chasing after his woman.

Leanna's face turned visibly red. It was hard to tell whether it was from the sun or embarrassment. She quickly took the flowers and pulled Aidan toward the studio.

Aidan smiled, holding her hand and leading her forward. The young women in the studio lowered their heads, pretending they hadn't seen anything.

Outside, the onlookers dispersed when they saw the duo leave.

Once inside the office, Leanna put the flowers down and turned to close the door. Before she could say anything, Aidan wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed her against the door, lightly caressing her chin. "My dear, you haven't answered my question yet."

Leanna blushed and pushed him away. "Stop fooling around."

At that, Aidan purred, "Then I'll take it as you've accepted."

Leanna couldn't help but smile and she looked up at him. "Didn't you say you wouldn't be back until tonight?"

"I need to correct you. You asked what I wanted to eat tonight," Aidan murmured.

Leanna was speechless upon hearing that.

The b*stard knows how to play with words.

After a few seconds of silence, she asked, "So, the board meeting is over?"

Aidan brushed a few strands of hair behind her ear and murmured, "Everything is over."

Leanna said nothing. She only put her arms around his waist, thereafter placing her face on his chest.

Aidan lowered his gaze and silently chuckled. "What are you doing? Although I like it when you take the initiative like this…"

Leanna interrupted him, "Nothing. Don't spout nonsense."

Aidan's gaze gradually softened and he lifted his arms to embrace her.

After a while, he repeated, "Everything is over."

Leanna closed her eyes. "I know."

With everything now over, all they had to do was wait for their child's recovery, and then they could be together forever without all the trouble.

At 12.00PM, they went out to eat and came back. Leanna was designing on her desk while Aidan read a book beside her.

The atmosphere was pleasant and quiet.

At 3.00PM, someone knocked on the office door.

A young girl from the studio poked her head in and whispered, "Miss McKinney, someone is looking for President Pearson."

Leanna raised her head and looked at Aidan.

Meanwhile, Aidan continued to flip through his book, not responding. In the end, he lightly answered, "I'm not seeing anyone."

At that, Leanna chimed in, "Just say he's busy and doesn't have time."

The young girl nodded and left.

Leanna lowered her head and continued to sketch.

If her guess was correct, it was someone from the Pearson Group.

After a while, the young girl knocked on the door again, "Miss McKinney, someone else is looking for—"

Aidan said the same thing. "Not seeing anyone."

Throughout the afternoon, people came in waves, but all left empty-handed.

Later, the news that Aidan had left the Pearson Group became a trending topic on the Internet. Someone had mentioned that Aidan was in Leanna's studio, which was why more and more people came.

In addition to people from the Pearson Group, many journalists from business newspapers wanted to interview Aidan and get first-hand information about him stepping down as president of the Pearson Group.

However, no one managed to actually see Aidan.

Seeing the situation, Leanna knew that work couldn't continue today, so she ended the workday early and gave everyone the rest of the day off.

The people who came later didn't even enter the studio, let alone see Aidan.

On the way back, Aidan muttered, "I'm sorry. It's all because of me."
