Chapter 112
Leanna did not quite understand what he meant. "Huh?"
Aidan did not want to explain his words and hung up immediately.
As she heard the beeping sound from her phone, she was puzzled as she thought, 'What is
this b*stard talking about again?'
At this time, Zoe came out of the private room. "What's up? Did that low… President
Pearson call you?"
Leanna shook her head. "It's nothing. Let's go in now."
After lunch, Leanna got a reply from Georgina. There was no problem with the draft, and
Leanna could proceed to come up with her final design. She just had to let Georgina know
the kind of materials and gems needed for the necklace, and Georgina would get it
delivered to her.
After Leanna replied to Georgina, Daphne said, "I want one too, but can I make a private
order? I don't think I have time to visit Lux."
Leanna kept her phone and said, "Sure. Just tell me the style you like. It'll be a gift from
me."
"How could I accept that? Work is work, and I shouldn't take advantage of you." Daphne
said first before she continued in a softer voice, "Plus, if President Pearson finds out that I
don't pay you for your designs, he's going to make me work my *ss off!"
Her words confused Leanna.
She remembered that she had never mentioned her relationship with Aidan to Daphne.
Zoe was puzzled too. "How did you know?"
This time, it was Daphne's turn to be confused. "Is it difficult to guess?"
Back when Jonathan told Daphne to visit Leanna at the hospital, she could tell that the two
had something going on already.
Moreover, she knew what kind of person Aidan was after working for him for so many
years.
Even though he had scandalous rumors at times, be it with Mia, or the other models and
celebrities, they were all just robots, but one that could speak to him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhy would the president of Pearson Group care about what kind of tweet was posted by a
designer who supposedly had nothing to do with him when he was so busy?
That was why it was obvious.
Leanna was silent for a moment once she heard Daphne's explanation. Finally, she
seemed to understand what Aidan meant over the phone.
He said she was once his wife, which meant he had never considered hiding their
marriage from anyone.
If Leanna was right about what Aidan meant, she could say that her ex-husband was him
whenever anyone called her a mistress again in the future.
However, would that not cause more problems?
Ever since word of their divorce got out, she heard about the many versions of herself
from many people. People were starting to forget about this, but if she mentioned that she
was Aidan's ex-wife, she would just be giving them something to talk about.
All she wanted was to live a peaceful life.
Moreover, there were few people out there who were like Anthony, so it did not matter as
long as she did nothing wrong.
..
After Anthony received a call from his company, he ignored Jeanette's whines and went
home to change his clothes before rushing over to Pantheon Club.
United Corporation's president, Benjamin Delgado, said, "President Pearson wanted you to
be a part of this project. So you better do your best later because we'll be depending on
you to form a collaboration with them!"
Anthony nodded. "Leave it to me, President Delgado. I'll do my best."
Initially, Anthony was still frustrated due to the encounter with Zoe this evening, but this
unexpected opportunity lifted his spirits again.
"Let's go. President Pearson is almost here.“
As soon as they left, Oscar appeared from behind a wall. What's Aidan doing this time?
What kind of project could he possibly want to discuss with United Corporation?
Ten minutes later, the door to the private room opened, and Aidan stood there, tall and
grim.
Benjamin stood up and welcomed him. "President Pearson. It's been a while."
With a cold expression, Aidan asked, "We've met before?'
"We did. I saw you from afar at a business banquet before. Actually, I wanted to greet you,
but there were too many people. You were also occupied, so I guessed it was better not to
disturb you."
As he said, he pulled Anthony over and introduced him. "President Pearson, this is Anthony
Lester."
Once Anthony heard that he quickly extended his hand out. "President Pearson, it's a
pleasure to meet you."
"Let's get started."
Aidan averted his gaze and strode away to take his seat. He was stony toward them the
entire time.
Benjamin was also dissatisfied with what Anthony did and quickly followed behind Aidan.
Anthony retreated his hand in embarrassment and knew that he had acted rashly.
Nevertheless, he believed that he should not be blamed for this because it was his first
time meeting a bigshot like Aidan. Moreover, Benjamin mentioned that Aidan wanted
Anthony to be a part of the project; that was why he…
At this point, Anthony was slightly upset. But now, he would know better than to guess a
bigshot's thoughts in the future.
Due to the mistake Anthony made, Benjamin introduced the entire project himself
because he was afraid that Aidan might be angered even further if Anthony were to speak
more.
Aidan sat on the couch, tapping his temple lightly with his fingers, looking languid yet
distant.
Even though he said nothing, his presence was enough to make the people around him
inexplicably feel pressured.
Anthony sat far at the corner, and suddenly, he did not know why but he found Aidan
familiar. Alas, he could not remember where he had seen Aidan before.
But then again, where would he get such a chance to meet him when even Benjamin had
seen Aidan from afar?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Benjamin introduced the project thoroughly, he asked cautiously, "President Pearson,
what do you think?"
Aidan said lightly, "It's nothing special."
Benjamin said hastily, "You're right. I do feel that we lack something too. If you could give
us some advice, I'm sure this project will be even better."
Aidan looked up. "President Delgado, didn't you bring someone else with you? Let's listen
to his opinion."
Anthony returned to his senses when he heard that Aidan had cued him. "President
Pearson, I…"
Benjamin couldn't help but remind him when Anthony could barely stammer out an
answer. "President Pearson just asked you a question. Answer him quickly."
Just as Anthony was about to speak, he heard noises coming from outside the door.
Aidan just said calmly, "Since this is a difficult question to answer, think carefully before
giving me an answer."
As soon as he spoke those words, he got up to leave.
"P-President Pearson…"
Benjamin scurried behind Aidan. This was an opportunity that was hard to come by, so he
would not let it go so easily.
The door to the private room opened, revealing Jonathan. "President Pearson."
The corridor was filled with people. It seemed that something interesting was happening
around here.
Among the crowd, there was a woman who would scream from time to time.
Aidan looked over, and his expression was as dispassionate as usual.
At this moment, Anthony and Benjamin rushed over after realizing there was a commotion
outside. Their attention was instantly attracted by the sharp, terrifying scream of the
woman.
A few passersby who had no idea about the situation asked, "What happened?"
Those who knew what happened would answer, "It seems that the woman caught her
husband cheating. It's my first time seeing such a huge commotion because of this. The
mistress was beaten up so badly that I won't be surprised even if she died."
