"McK, this is Mr. Justin Pearson."
After a simple introduction, Harvey then left the room because of other work.
Justin was seated on the wheelchair, and he wore a polite and gentle smile. "Leanna, so you're the
famous designer of Lux Jewelry."
"Jus—" Tin, she finished in her head and paused. "Hello, Mr. Pearson."
"You don't have to be so awkward and formal with me. Like Aidan, just call me Justin," he said.
"I don't think so because Aidan and I are already divorced."
He chuckled. "You're right. But it's just a way of addressing someone, and I'm only a year older than
you, so it's okay if you call me by my name."
The edges of Leanna's lips turned up, and she didn't continue to fuss over this issue with him anymore.
"What type of jewelry would you like to custom design, Mr. Pearson?"
"I almost forgot about this." From the folder which he was always carrying with himself, Justin took out
a few pieces of paper and placed them on the table. "My mother's birthday is next week, and I would
like to have a necklace specially designed for her. Previously, I planned to design it myself, but as you
can see, none of these are presentable."
Once again, Leanna felt that she couldn't hold the smile on her face. Isn't his mother also Aidan's
mother?
That aloof and elegant woman, who exuded a regal air around her, was incredibly unapproachable.
Seeing the odd look on her face, Justin apologized, "This is a little difficult for you, isn't it? I only came
here to give it a shot after my friend told me that the new designer Lux Jewelry had signed is very
talented and smart. If it's too much to ask for, then just forget it…"
At the end of his sentence, there was an obvious trace of regret in his voice, and after a couple of
seconds, Leanna said, "It's not too difficult. What kind of style would you prefer, Mr. Pearson?"
Since Leanna was the one who pointed out that she was divorced from Aidan, it would seem as though
she was still brooding over it if she turned Justin down because of this. Furthermore, this was work,
and she shouldn't include her personal feelings into it.
After Justin had explained the style he wanted to her, he said again, "Next week is my mother's
birthday, so maybe you'll have to come up with the draft within the next three days and the final product
has to be finished before her birthday. The time is a little rushed, eh? It's my fault for delaying too much
time before this. Even though I know that I'm not capable, I insisted on giving it a try."
"I don't have any other work at hand now, so I can make it in three days. Once the design draft is ready,
I'll ask Mr. Mancini to contact you, Mr. Pearson."
"Actually, I'm not that familiar with Mr. Mancini. If it's convenient for you, let's leave our contact details
with each other."
"Sure," Leanna said.
As this was work, this was a reasonable request from the client.
After they had added each other on WhatsApp, Leanna kept the papers on the table back into the
folder and returned it to Justin, saying, "I'll see you out, Mr. Pearson."
"Thank you."
When they were outside of Lux, Justin's driver came to greet them and took over the handles of
Justin's wheelchair from Leanna.
"It's alright; you can go. I won't hold you from your work," Justin said.
Smiling, Leanna replied, "Goodbye, Mr. Pearson."
In the elevator going up, Leanna was thinking that if she had to mention someone who was kind to her
from the Pearsons, then there was only Justin.
A few years ago at that party when people kept ordering her around and were being mean to her, he
was the only one who offered her a glass of water, saying gently, "Take a break for a while. You don't
have to be bothered by the things that they said. As long as Aidan regards you as his wife, then nothing
anyone else says matters."
Quietly, Leanna thought to herself, The man's precisely the one who denies me the most. Holding the
glass, she thanked him meekly instead.
Afterward, Justin was also the one who helped her out when Anna came to humiliate and pick a fight
with her. At that time, she couldn't understand why both of them had such different personalities even
though they were brothers.
If Aidan was one-tenth as gentle as Justin, Leanna could even smile in her sleep.
Back at Lux, Zoe trotted over and asked in a whisper, "I heard from Mr. Mancini that the client's last
name is Pearson. Is the same last name by coincidence, or is it someone related to Aidan Pearson?"
"He's Aidan's elder brother," Leanna answered.
Surprised but confused, she gasped. "Aidan Pearson has a brother?"
In recent years, Justin hadn't appeared in any public events and would leave home on very rare
occasions. Moreover, Aidan was the one completely in charge at the Pearson Group, so it made sense
that many people on the outside didn't know about Justin.
Leanna nodded in response.
"Is he asking for you to design the jewelry just so he can humiliate you on purpose because of Aidan?"
"No, he's much kinder than Aidan, and he's more friendly as well. However…"
Then, Leanna told Zoe how Justin wanted her to design a necklace for his mother, and Zoe's eyes
grew large. "Did you turn him down? You must have turned him down, haven't you?"
"I agreed to it."
In fact, Leanna had only met Sienna twice.
The first time was before Leanna was married to Aidan and he had brought her home. Standing in front
of his parents, she was embarrassed and awkward. At a loss of what to do, she just wanted to find a
hole and crawl in.
The second time was at a party at the Pearson's, and during both times, Sienna's attitude toward her
was aloof beyond words.
Luckily, Leanna only had to submit the design draft because Justin would get others to find the
materials and complete the final product.
Presently, Zoe sighed. "That's right, you don't have to meet her, anyway. I heard from Mr. Mancini that
he quoted a very high price. I should have asked Mr. Mancini to fleece the man off badly if I had known
that he's Aidan's elder brother." Then, she asked, "By the way, what did the doctor say when you went
for your maternity check today?"
A smile spread across Leanna's face unwittingly. "The doctor said that everything is normal with the
fetus and it's developing well. I even heard the heartbeat today."
"Really? Did you really hear it? I want to hear it as well!" Zoe exclaimed and placed her head on
Leanna's belly.
With a laugh, Leanna said, "You can't hear it like this."
"It's more than four months now, right? At the most, there's another six months and I can meet my little
baby. Have you thought about names already?"
"It's too early for that. I don't even know if it's a boy or a girl, and it's not too late if I think about it once
the baby is born."
"Leave this to me. I'll think of a few names for boys and girls so you can pick."
Leanna giggled. "You can think of some names for yourself. Hasn't Anthony proposed to you yet?"
Zoe's lips turned into a pout. "Don't bring this up. I've already hinted at him so many times this month.
He's usually romantic and passionate, but at the mention of this, he'll turn into a block of wood.
Moreover, he has to be at a business dinner almost every other day, so he's quite busy. I can't keep
bothering him because of this."
"Give it more time, then. Maybe once he's not so busy anymore after this period, he'll propose to you."
"Yeah. Are you going home now? I'm going for an outdoor shoot now. Let me drop you off."
"It's alright. I still have to report the work to Mr. Mancini. Get going with your work."
On the way home after she had reported her work to Harvey, Leanna remembered that she was
running out of groceries at home. Hence, she asked the cab to drop her off at a mall nearby.
Soon after she had entered the mall, she saw a baby products store. The tiny clothes and shoes inside
were especially adorable, and she couldn't take her eyes off them.
After she was done buying a few onesies and came out of the store, she was about to buy something
else when she saw a couple walking past her as they hugged each other intimately.
The woman held a soft drink in her hand as she lifted her head and flirted with the man, and Leanna
jerked her head toward them suddenly.
That guy…
Fishing out a face mask from her handbag, she hurriedly went after them.
