In the evening, Leanna received a call from Elijah.
“Leanna, I heard from Daniel that Louis is living with him now. What’s going on on your side? My friend
told me yesterday that Daphne’s PR team is already dealing with it, and the impact has been
minimized.”
“Thank you for calling. It’s all well on my end. Louis moved here because he was worried about me.”
Today, Jonathan did not call her for any follow-up questions. It was probably because she was no
longer needed.
After a while, Elijah slowly said, ” Leanna, are you free this weekend? Our company is having our
annual general meeting at a resort not far from Highside. I want to invite you to join us for the two-day,
one-night trip.”
Leanna pondered for a moment before nodding. “Sure.”
He breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that she agreed, and his mood seemed elevated. “All right.
Then, I’ll pick you up on Saturday morning.”
As soon as she hung up, Zoe immediately came over and asked excitedly, “How is it? How is it? Is
Elijah asking you out on a date?”
Hearing this, Louis, who was next to her, also turned to look over.
Leanna was speechless. Do they need to have such a big reaction?
“It’s not a date,” she answered. “It’s his company’s annual general meeting, and he invited me to attend
it.”
“What else can it be if it’s not a date?” Zoe retaliated as she chomped away on her chips. “You must be
going to this event as his girlfriend. Even if you’re not his girlfriend yet, everyone will suspect that there
is something going on and he’s just waiting for the right time to take things to the next level.”
Hearing this, Leanna pursed her lips and said nothing.
As for Louis, he retracted his gaze and continued to flip through the book in his hand. “I have no
comment on this.”
Zoe immediately followed suit and raised her hands in agreement. “I have no comment as well.”
Leanna really didn’t know what to do with these two. “I’m still a little dizzy. I’m going to go to bed.”
Once she returned to her bedroom, she laid her head on the table as she fiddled with the ornaments in
front of her with her fingers.
As a matter of fact, she had already thought about the question that Zoe asked before she even agreed
to Elijah.
Leanna was planning to start over, and she wanted to give him a chance.
Therefore, she knew what would be implied when she agreed to him. It was too late to pull back
anyway.
Although it might be a difficult step to take, she had to do so if she wanted to start afresh.
She let out a sigh before reaching out to her scribbling pad. She stared at a particular page for a long
time before slowly tearing it off, folding it in half, and shredding it before she threw it into the trash can.
This is the end.
The next day, Leanna received a call from the police station.
Through the phone, she found out that both Karen and her daughter had been found. However, Karen
was found in an unconscious state in the hospital from a car accident, and her daughter was just
following her mother’s instructions. She didn’t know anything more than what she was told to do.
Karen’s daughter was still in high school and was forced to do those things. Therefore, Leanna and
Louis did not pursue her further.
After hearing the result of the police’s investigation, Zoe speculated, “Something feels off to me. It is
way too coincidental for Karen to be in a car accident. I really don’t believe her when she says there is
no one else behind all these.”
“The car that ran into her has been looked into, and there is nothing suspicious about it. The accident
happened when she was crossing the road,” Leanna replied lightly.
“Now that you said that, it is possible that it’s just an accident. Anyways, she is a hoodlum with no
regard for the law. It wouldn’t be a surprise to me if she jaywalked. Maybe it’s karma.”
“I feel like this isn’t the end yet. We still need to be careful in the future,” Louis chimed in.
Once this topic had passed, Zoe asked again, “Nana, it’s Saturday tomorrow. Have you thought of what
to wear?”
This confused Leanna. “Do I have to plan out what to wear?”
“Of course!” Zoe slapped her thigh. “Annual meetings like these are the time when women would try to
parade around to seduce the men. What’s more, Elijah is so young and elegant, handsome and
wealthy. He’s basically like a honeypot to the bees. Although you are very beautiful without dressing
up, at times like these, you need to step up your game and guard your man!”
With that, Zoe pushed Leanna into her room and began choosing some clothes.
In the end, Zoe was still somewhat dissatisfied with her choices. “These aren’t sexy enough. Let’s go
out and buy some more.”
Leanna hastened to hold Zoe back. “Enough, enough. I think these are good enough. Besides, it’s too
late now. The mall is already closed.”
Hearing this, Zoe sighed. “Oh well, we have no other choices then. Thank God that you have a good
body; you’ll even look good in a sack.”
Leanna scratched her head. “I might not be back until the night after tomorrow. If you’re bored at home
on the weekends, why don’t you come with me?”
After thinking about it for the past two days, she was starting to feel a little embarrassed to go alone.
However, she had already promised Elijah, and it wasn’t easy to go back on it.
“Are you kidding me? I’m not going to be a third wheel. I’m going to a bar this weekend to see if there
are any handsome guys. Don’t look down on me. I might not be back tomorrow night as well.”
Leanna really didn’t know what to do with her best friend at this point.
Then, Zoe yawned. “I’m going back to my room. You should get your beauty sleep soon. That way, you
can blow Elijah’s mind tomorrow.”
“I’m not a bomb.” Leanna smiled.
“You’re more mind-blowing than a bomb.”
“All right now, enough. You’ve gone too far.”
After Zoe left for bed, Leanna went out of her bedroom.
In the living room, Louis was packing his things.
Leanna poured a glass of water and walked over. “Louis, are you leaving already?”
Louis nodded. “It’s getting late.”
“All right. Go to sleep.”
After Louis walked to the door, he turned back and stood in front of Leanna. He seemed hesitant before
he asked, “Have you made up your mind?”
She didn’t understand what he meant as she put down her glass and questioned, “Made up my mind
for what?”
“To be with Elijah.”
After a few seconds, she answered with a faint smile, “I’m not deciding to be with him. I just want to see
how we get along with each other. If we’re a suitable match, maybe we will get together. Otherwise, we
can move on—”
“Do you like him?” Louis interjected with a slight frown.
Her mouth opened, but no words came out.
After a while, she finally said, “Louis, relationships aren’t that easy. Just because you like someone, it
doesn’t mean you can be together. If the two of you are fitting for each other, feelings will gradually
develop.”
“That can’t be love, can it?”
Hearing this, she immediately lowered her head. She picked up her glass and gripped it quietly.
Then, he added, “Although I hope you meet someone who treats you kindly, I still hope that you’d be
with someone you like and not necessarily Elijah.”
“Louis…”
“Do you still like Aidan?” He interrupted her again.
“It’s late. Go home and sleep,” she answered slowly.
