When Leanna left the office in the evening, the staff members in the shop were ready to get off work.
“We’ll take our leave now, Leanna.” They informed her before leaving.
When Leanna left the office in the evening, the staff members in the shop were ready to get off work.
“We’ll take our leave now, Leanna.” They informed her before leaving.
She nodded with a smile. “See you tomorrow.”
After they were gone, she took a glance at Zoe, who was already wearing her bag, and arched her
brow. “You…”
Zoe coughed to conceal her embarrassment. “I’m not going to do anything. I’m just going to work out.”
Leanna shuffled toward the pantry and poured herself a cup of water before teasing her with a smile.
“You’re going on a date with Daniel, aren’t you?”
Zoe walked up to her and leaned against the wall. “Well…” She hung her head low and clenched the
bag’s strap. “We’re just going out for dinner.”
Leanna took a sip of the water and glanced at the person outside. “Go now. He’s waiting.”
Seeing that she looked outside, Zoe followed her gaze and pursed her lips. After giving it some
thought, she suggested, “Since there’s nothing else to do in the studio now, why don’t you come with
us?”
“I can’t. Aidan… is coming over.”
Both ladies appeared to have plans after work. At the mention of Aidan, Zoe sported a cheeky smile as
she bid Leanna goodbye. “I’ll get out of your way, then. See you.”
Leanna dipped her head. “Be careful.”
After Zoe left, Leanna closed the glass door. Just as she was ready to return to the studio, she saw
someone peering at her from a car across the street. The car had been there for quite a while.
Noticing her stare, the person in the car pocketed his gaze and left the place, following behind Daniel’s
car.
Seeing that, Leanna pressed her lips together. If she wasn’t mistaken, that person was supposed to be
Lloyd’s subordinate.
When she returned to the office, she put down the cup and picked up a pen. After some contemplation,
she still couldn’t draw anything. Instead, she jotted down some names on the draft paper—Lloyd,
Georgina, Daniel, Mr. Jackson, Elijah, and Mr. Muston, who had passed her the key to the warehouse
and then disappeared previously.
She swept a glance over the names on the paper, and after pondering on it for a moment, she added
one more name—William.
Although William didn’t seem to have anything to do with the series of incidents, he had all sorts of
connections with the people on the list.
Leanna recalled that when she and Elijah dropped by Mr. Jackson’s house the other day, William and
Elijah didn’t seem to know each other. They only exchanged greetings politely.
When Leonno left the office in the evening, the stoff members in the Leonno.” They informed her before
leoving.
She nodded with o smile. “See you tomorrow.”
After they were gone, she took o glonce ot Zoe, who wos olreody weoring her bog, ond orched her
brow. “You…”
Zoe coughed to conceol her emborrossment. “I’m not going to do onything. I’m just going to work out.”
Leonno shuffled toword the pontry ond poured herself o cup of woter before teosing her with o smile.
“You’re going on o dote with Doniel, oren’t you?”
Zoe wolked up to her ond leoned ogoinst the woll. “Well…” She hung her heod low ond clenched the
bog’s strop. “We’re just going out for dinner.”
Leonno took o sip of the woter ond glonced ot the person outside. “Go now. He’s woiting.”
Seeing thot she looked outside, Zoe followed her goze ond pursed her lips. After giving it some
thought, she suggested, “Since there’s nothing else to do in the studio now, why don’t you come with
us?”
“I con’t. Aidon… is coming over.”
Both lodies oppeored to hove plons ofter work. At the mention of Aidon, Zoe sported o cheeky smile os
she bid Leonno goodbye. “I’ll get out of your woy, then. See you.”
Leonno dipped her heod. “Be coreful.”
After Zoe left, Leonno closed the gloss door. Just os she wos reody to return to the studio, she sow
someone peering ot her from o cor ocross the street. The cor hod been there for quite o while.
Noticing her store, the person in the cor pocketed his goze ond left the ploce, following behind Doniel’s
cor.
Seeing thot, Leonno pressed her lips together. If she wosn’t mistoken, thot person wos supposed to be
Lloyd’s subordinote.
When she returned to the office, she put down the cup ond picked up o pen. After some contemplotion,
she still couldn’t drow onything. Insteod, she jotted down some nomes on the droft poper—Lloyd,
Georgino, Doniel, Mr. Jockson, Elijoh, ond Mr. Muston, who hod possed her the key to the worehouse
ond then disoppeored previously.
She swept o glonce over the nomes on the poper, ond ofter pondering on it for o moment, she odded
one more nome—Williom.
Although Williom didn’t seem to hove onything to do with the series of incidents, he hod oll sorts of
connections with the people on the list.
Leonno recolled thot when she ond Elijoh dropped by Mr. Jockson’s house the other doy, Williom ond
Elijoh didn’t seem to know eoch other. They only exchonged greetings politely.
That was odd, for Elijah was on good terms with Mr. Jackson, who seemed to be closer to William than
they appeared.
With Mr. Jackson around, Elijah and William would have had chances to meet up. The only explanation
was that they weren’t close, or they pretended not to know each other. Regardless, all of them—Daniel,
Mr. Jackson, and the others—shared the same goal, which was to destroy Lloyd.
On the other hand, William, who was seemingly an outsider, managed to successfully bid for a
Crossley Group project by chance. When all the dots were connected, it was hard for anyone to believe
that William had only come to this country to expand his business.
Though having a vague idea of the relationships, Leanna could not figure out what went on behind the
scenes. Irritated, she scratched all the names with her pen.
Just then, a man whispered in her ear. “What are you doing?” he asked.
An unsuspecting Leanna was astounded, so she subconsciously tipped her head back and accidentally
crashed into the man’s warm chest.
Aidan’s lips curved into a smile as he placed his hands on her shoulders. She was speechless, thinking
that the man had done it deliberately.
Aidan asked, “Have you had dinner?”
“Didn’t you tell me to wait for you?”
The man raised his brows. “Let’s go, then.”
Leanna packed up her stuff and pulled the draft paper off. Then, she crumpled it into a ball and threw it
into the trash can.
Sitting at the dinner table with the man, she took the chance to ask for some input. “I saw the Pearson’s
Group announcement today. What do you think of the incident?”
“Are you talking about the cheating or the bribery case?”
Leanna asked doubtfully, “Aren’t they the same thing?”
Aidan filled her cup with water. “They used to be the same thing, but now we’re dealing with them
separately.”
“What do you mean?”
“Someone has accused Queenie of cheating in the competition and bribing the judges. There’s solid
evidence for the cheating case. As for the bribery case, there isn’t any evidence to prove his claim.
Additionally, the judges have denied receiving any bribes. So, we can only deal with the cases
separately.”
Hearing that, Leanna furrowed her brows. “There’s indeed no solid evidence to prove that Queenie is
guilty of bribing the judges. Moreover, I don’t think she’s powerful enough to do such a thing. However,
the organizer has investigated Robert and found that he’s not the culprit.”
Aidan uttered slowly, “Since she’s not capable of doing such a thing, we don’t have to waste any more
time on her.”
Leanna was startled for a moment before realizing something. She had almost forgotten that Georgina
and Violet had also participated in the designers’ competition. “You mean Georgina and Violet? Who do
you think is the culprit?”
“Either of them might be the culprit.” Aidan paused for a moment, then continued, “However, there’s a
fashion company under the Kramer Group that works closely with the judges.”
Hearing that, Leanna finally figured it out.
The culprit was Violet. Furthermore, it was more than just a bribery case. Since her fashion company
worked closely with the judges, no one could find out any wrongdoings as there were formal contracts
and transfers of money between both sides. That was the reason Lewis could not find any evidence.
Realizing the crux of the problem, Leanna tutted.
Aidan asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I just think that you’re too charming, President Pearson.”
Aidan didn’t understand what she meant, but since she was stuffed, she rose from the chair. “I’m full.
See you.”
Aidan licked his lips and followed her.
The moment Leanna opened the car door, Aidan slid into the passenger’s seat.
His action confused her. “What are you doing, President Pearson?” she questioned.
An unfazed Aidan replied, “I’m here to keep you safe while you go home.”
Yet Leanna ignored him. Just as she was ready to fasten the seat belt, she saw Aidan leaning closer to
her. “W-What are you doing?” She subconsciously moved backward.
Aidan took her hand and plugged the latch plate into the buckle. Then, he said in a slightly raised voice,
“I was helping you to fasten the seat belt. What else do you think I was doing?”
Leanna felt a heat flushing through her as she gazed at the face just inches away. She coughed and
rolled down the window before pushing his chest. “Sit properly. You’re blocking my sight.”
As she spoke, she pretended to take a look at the side-view mirror. Then, she drove the car forward.
