Love's Change of Heart

He continued to stare at her, his black eyes narrowing slightly with a dangerous look in them. "I see

you're now brave enough to tease me, hm?"

When she saw that he seemed to be thinking of doing something inappropriate again, she quickly

avoided his gaze and stood up with a cough. "Alright, let's go. I'm hungry."

Before they left the office, she took the time to confirm once again that there was nothing out of place

about her appearance.

There were several clients in the studio by the time she walked out. The ladies were no longer crowded

around her door but had resumed their daily duties. On the other hand, it seemed as though Zoe had

disappeared somewhere. Nevertheless, she could hazard a guess that Zoe was probably next door.

Along the way, Aidan asked her a question. "Has Lloyd come to you?"

Leanna nodded lightly. "He came to negotiate the conditions with me. Regrettably, out of what I

originally asked for, he only agreed to half of them."

He replied indifferently, "That's in line with the sly old fox's personality."

"But, I demanded Georgina to apologize to Louis."

"Did he agree to that?"

She shrugged. "I don't think he has a choice to disagree in this matter. Now that things have blown up

so disproportionately, the incident involving Louis accounts for the most important parts."

He inquired further, "Are you sure he can do it?"

"Of course." She blinked innocently and turned to look at him. "I recorded the conversation."

He laughed and reached out to ruffle her hair. "It looks like the lesson you learned this time was quite

meaningful."

She pouted and sulked in silence for a moment. "How do you plan to deal with the incident involving

Queenie?"

"It's not her turn yet. I'm dealing with them, one by one."

She knew that he was planning to target the Pearson Family first.

After a while, she finally spoke again, "I've already contacted the competition organizers. They are

currently investigating the issue. I'm sure the results will come out quickly. As for Queenie, once the

fact that she was cheating in the competition comes to light, this will ruin her entire career forever."

He said, "She should have considered these consequences before she chose to do those things."

She nodded in agreement. It was not that she sympathized with or felt terrible for Queenie. It was just

that she would inevitably think about another person whenever she looked at Queenie.

She probed further. "Is there still no news about Ron?"

"No." He continued, "Oscar is still investigating this matter. Don't worry. Even if Lloyd dies, he won't

die."

That was the truth. Ron had grown up with a rough childhood. Even after he became an adult, he had

always been living dangerously. Therefore, he had his own rules of survival. As long as he wished to

survive, few people in this world could do anything to harm him.

After breakfast, Aidan walked Leanna back to the studio and said, "I'll be busy for some time. Let me

know if you miss me. I will take some time out of my schedule to come and see you. So, don't be shy

about your feelings."

She said nothing. This man truly loves to talk nonsense.

His lips curved into a smile, and he gave her a light peck on the forehead before he left.

When Aidan turned around and departed, Zoe finally came out from somewhere nearby. She couldn't

help clicking her tongue in amusement. "It's still pretty early in the morning. Don't you think you're

already showing too much physical affection for each other?"

Leanna felt the veins in her temples throbbing in anger. She turned around and snarled, "You…"

Zoe quickly raised her hands in surrender. "I didn't see anything. But, of course, I was talking about the

drama I watched on TV just now."

Leanna had no intention of entertaining this topic. She promptly dragged Zoe into her office and faced

Zoe. "Speaking of which, I haven't had the time to ask you about that matter yet. It was already so late

yesterday. Why were you with Daniel? Didn't you say you haven't agreed to be his girlfriend yet?"

Zoe did not expect Leanna to bring up this topic. An unnatural expression flitted across her face for a

moment, then she sank down on the couch and answered hesitantly. "It's nothing… He simply sent me

home and stayed for a glass of water."

"Wow. How did you manage to drink water until midnight?"

Zoe laughed awkwardly. "No. We simply chatted about some poems and songs about the philosophy of

life."

Leanna stared at Zoe speechlessly.

Zoe wished she could slap herself the moment that pitiful excuse fell from her lips. What am I even

saying!?

Leanna sighed softly. "I have no objections toward Daniel. I simply believe that you should wait a little

longer even if your feelings for him are very strong."

Zoe nodded repeatedly. "I know. Don't worry. I know my limits."

Leanna was just about to say something. But, when she opened her mouth to speak, she realized that

their current exchange seemed to contain the same content as the time when Zoe had earnestly

advised her to reconsider her options before she began dating Aidan.

The world had come full circle indeed. When that thought crossed her mind, the earnest advice that

was on the tip of her tongue got caught in her throat. She couldn't bring herself to say them anymore.

On the contrary, Zoe seemed to be in high spirits. She excitedly leaned over and exclaimed, "Hey! Did

you check the Internet this morning? There are all sorts of posts cursing at Georgina online. It was

absolutely refreshing to read them. When I read the comments, I suddenly realized that my method of

insulting others was extremely shallow. I've already learned some new things so that I can keep

insulting her! I'll bet that Georgina would never expect that the persona she worked so hard to establish

would be branded as scum overnight! That's retribution for you!"

An intrigued Leanna took out her phone and sent a message to Freddie.
