Chapter 168

Hints of coldness and anger appeared on Aidan's face as he lifted his gaze to look at Elijah. "Get lost."

Elijah glanced behind him, then looked back at Aidan and said slowly, "I heard you calling Leanna's

name. Do you know her?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

"It doesn't look like Leanna wants to see you, though. If that's the case, why are you so aggressive?"

Aidan sneered. "Did she personally tell you that she doesn't want to see me?"

Elijah fell silent.

It was true that she didn't say anything about it, but her reactions were clear as day. Even so, Elijah had

no intentions of backing off.

The stalemate was about to be broken when Aidan caught sight of a figure at the side. He said

indifferently, "Zoe."

The figure froze before it ran even faster.

Aidan's voice turned colder. "Gigi."

Zoe was at a loss for words.

She felt that this name would stick with her for life.

Zoe didn't dare run away anymore, fearing that the lowlife named Aidan would settle the scores with

her later. She laughed dryly and went over reluctantly. "Haha, fancy seeing you here, President

Pearson. I thought someone called my name, but I never thought that it'd be the handsome President

Pearson. Your brilliance is too blinding, and I almost couldn't see you."

Jonathan felt that Zoe was even better than him at buttering Aidan up.

After Elijah calmed down, he asked, "Zoe, do you know President Pearson?"

The woman was about to answer when she suddenly remembered her plans of match-making Leanna

and Elijah, so she couldn't possibly let him know that Aidan was Leanna's ex-husband. She seemed to

be tongue-tied, unable to say a word.

Just then, Jonathan walked up at the appropriate time. "Miss Hart, I was the one who contacted you

earlier."

Zoe was stunned. "Earlier?"

Jonathan said specifically, "About half an hour ago."

Zoe was speechless.

She was wondering how the lowlife had managed to find this place, but she soon realized that he had

tricked her.

This information flashed through Zoe's thoughts for a few seconds, and she said to Elijah, "President

Pearson is a client of our studio, and he's asked Nana to design a necklace… Elijah, you can go back

first since everyone's waiting. I'll discuss work with President Pearson for a bit before heading in."

After hearing that, Elijah seemed assured as he nodded and turned to leave.

When he was gone, Aidan said impatiently, "Give her a call and tell her to come back."

Faced with the strong oppression of capitalism, Zoe could only compromise as she dialed Leanna's

number in front of Aidan. She whispered, "Nana, the client I told you about has arrived…"

Then, she laughed dryly. "Don't you think it's a coincidence that this client is President Pearson

himself… Huh? You aren't feeling well, so you're already home? Alright then, it's indeed a pity. I believe

that President Pearson is a kind person, so he'll understand…"

Zoe hadn't finished talking when her phone was snatched away.

Aidan said coldly, "You'd better appear before me in five minutes, or your friend won't be going back."

Leanna was speechless.

Apart from threatening people, what else could this lowlife do?

After ending the call, Leanna could only slowly walk out of the corridor.

When she answered Zoe's call, she didn't manage to squeeze in a word as she listened to the

woman's rambling.

The situation was obvious; Aidan had come all the way from the studio to look for her. Zoe was telling

Leanna to escape as quickly as possible.

At that thought, Leanna couldn't help but frown. This lowlife had been out of his mind recently.

In the end, right before the five-minute mark, Leanna stood in front of Aidan after four minutes and fifty-

nine seconds had elapsed.

She suppressed her temper as she said calmly, "What do you mean by this, President Pearson?"

Aidan was dissatisfied. "Is this how you treat your clients?"

Leanna didn't say anything in return.

Zoe suggested, "President Pearson, it must be uncomfortable to stand here and talk. Why don't we find

a place to sit down?"

If Maya caught sight of this scene, she would probably put on a show.

More importantly, Zoe's main objective right now was to match Leanna up with Elijah. She mustn't allow

this matter with Aidan to mess up her plans.

Aidan glanced at Jonathan, and the latter immediately went about making arrangements.

Two minutes later, the hotel manager emerged and led them to the VIP lounge.

Along the way, Zoe whispered, "Nana, we should accept every client that comes knocking. This lowlife

doesn't lack money anyway, so feel free to charge him extra."

Leanna gradually calmed down. By the looks of it, Aidan didn't seem like he would be letting her go

easily. As such, she couldn't chase him out for the moment.

Once they were at the lounge, Leanna turned on her phone to begin taking notes. "What are you

looking to design, President Pearson? A necklace? A bracelet? Earrings, perhaps? Or is it something

else—"

Aidan said indifferently, "Whatever."

Leanna endured it as wrote the word 'whatever' on her phone.

She continued to ask, "What style do you have in mind, President Pearson?"

"Whatever."

"Then—"

"Do as you please with everything."

Leanna put down her phone, her expression cold. "If you intend to treat me as a pastime, you can do it

another way. You don't have to waste your time with me like this."

Aidan pursed his thin lips. "Sorry, ask the questions again."

Leanna was speechless.

Ask the questions again, my foot.

Leanna said, "I don't know what else you still want from me, President Pearson. Do you think that it's

not enough for me to lose a child? Do you want me to lose my job as well before you let me off the

hook?"

Aidan's expression didn't change as he ignored her words. "I don't have any design requests. Just

design anything you like."

Leanna fell silent.

He's bonkers!

Aidan got up and said before leaving, "Leanna, the things I want from you are far from what you

imagine. When you're willing to give them to me someday, you'll know what they are."

When he opened the door, Zoe and Jonathan, who were eavesdropping outside, took two steps

backward.

Zoe coughed. "President Pearson, our studio's personal design requests for jewelry are fully booked for

a few months, so you might have to wait for a little—"

Aidan nodded, turning to leave without another word.

Jonathan immediately followed suit.

After they left, Zoe went into the lounge to see Leanna zoned out on the couch. She waved her hand in

front of the latter and asked, "Nana, are you okay?"

Leanna gathered her thoughts and shook her head lightly. "It's nothing. Let's go."

Zoe had more or less heard everything in Leanna's conversation with Aidan. She didn't think it would

be appropriate to say anything about it, so she immediately changed the subject. "How was your

conversation with Elijah?"

Leanna was dumbfounded. "What do you mean?"

"Just… Do you have anything in common with him?"

Leanna was silent before she suddenly said, "There's something off about you."
