Chapter 1297
After Lennon left, Adrian called Darien.
"Lennon's desperate to find someone to work with. So, what do you think?"
"I got this."
Darien hung up the phone.
Adrian's knitted brows became smooth again.
There was an imperceptible indifference in his deep eyes.
"Miss Gardner, someone wants to see you," Aleigha was awakened by the urgent phone call.
Stunned for a while, she slowly asked, "Who's that?"
"A lady whom I've never seen before. She looks a little ordinary."
The description instantly reminded Aleigha of somebody, and she was wide awake.
Hanging up the phone, she thought carefully about the ordinary girl she met at Landry's party.
She always felt that something was wrong. Although that girl looked ordinary, there was obvious indifference in her eyes.
The eyes were the windows to the soul. She thought the eyes were familiar.
Aleigha went to the company. The girl was sitting on the chair outside her office. She didn't seem impatient at all.
There was no expression on her face. Aleigha looked at her, wondering if she was trying to hide something.
Her personality? Her temper? Or something else?
"You're looking for me?"
"Miss Gardner, do you remember me?"
Aleigha looked at the girl up and down and said with a smile, "Yes. You may look ordinary, I remember you. What's the matter?"
"I want to apologize for what I said at the party. I'm really sorry."
"Oh, okay. I forgive you. You're free to go."
There was a smile in Aleigha's eyes. She looked calm and relaxed. No one could tell what she was thinking about.
"I have something else to say. Can we go somewhere private?"
Aleigha looked around and pushed open the door of her office. "Come in."
Aleigha sat on her chair, and the girl stood in a proper manner.
"Have a seat. Make yourself at home."
The girl gently and slowly sat down, like a very well-bred lady.
But the more she behaved like a lady, the more Aleigha was convinced that she was acting.
"Miss Gardner, actually, I'm Lennon's woman."
Aleigha was suddenly enlightened and nodded.
"I know Lennon is crazy about you. I was jealous of you so I said those things at the party.
"It's my fault. I'm really sorry."
"It doesn't matter. What else do you want to say?"
"1-1 want to be your friend."
"My friend?"
Aleigha smiled. "Okay, sure."
"Really? So, can I invite you to tea and go shopping, which is what girlfriends do?"
"Sure. Is there anything else?"
"No. My name is Leona Woods."
Aleigha nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I've got plans today. Shall we hang out another day?"
"Okay. I should get going. Good bye, Aleigha."
"Bye."
As soon as Leona left, Aleigha had someone look into her.
Her man told her that Leona had no parents and was raised in an orphanage.
She had no background or status.
"How did an orphanage girl get to know Lennon?" Aleigha whispered to herself.
She always felt that something was wrong. The girl was too ordinary to be normal.
In the evening, when she returned home,Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
heard Adrian on the
phone in the study. He sounded net
little agitated. Perhaps he was reprimanding someone.
She waited for him to hang up the phone before walking in.
"What's wrong?"
Adrian turned back to look at her, and the coldness in his eyes dissipated instantly. "They didn't tell me Kendal escaped.
"D*mn it! They can't even keep an
iel
eye on two women. Emilia escaped, and then Kendal. The point is,. Kendal's been on the run for months. :
"Only God know where she is now."
Vonov
"It's okay. Well find her sooner or later. I have some news I don't know if it's good or bad."
Aleigha told Adrian that Leona came to her today.
"You need to watch out for this woman. I've been so busy lately. When this is over, I'll put the
wedding on the agenda."
Aleigha didn't have a lot of ideas or requests for the wedding.
"Well, it's up to you."
It was getting warmer and warmer in early May.
Leona often asked Aleigha out, but Aleigha turned her down many times for business reasons.
Leona wasn't angry at all. She just continued to ask Aleigha out.
This day, Aleigha finished her work in advance. Then, Leona her and asked her out again. She agreed.
They had an appointment to meet in a Starbucks.
Aleigha didn't ask her driver to wait for her. She said she could take a cab home.
As soon as she came in the Starbucks, she saw Lennon beside Leona. She slowed down in an instant and her eyes became deep.
"Aleigha, I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you Lennon was also here."
"It doesn't matter." Aleigha sat opposite them and ordered a glass of lemon water.
"Aleigha, I hear your company is doing well and you are working with Adrian.
"Congratulations."
Aleigha smiled faintly and did not answer him.
"Aleigha, I don't know what to wear. Can you give me some advice? Lennon always says I don't know how to dress up."
"Okay. Why not?"
They left the Starbucks and went to a shopping mall. Lennon had no intention of leaving.
The three of them walked into the mall. Leona's eyes sparkled, and she seemed to be interested in all the luxuries here.
They went to Gucci and Leona picked up a purse. A cold glint flashed across Aleigha's eyes.
She smiled and pointed to another purse not far away. "I think that one is better."
"The one this lady is holding is the latest, and that one is from last year."
The assistant came over and said politely.
slightly
Leona held this purse and turned to look at and perfunctorily, "If you wanna buy it, buy it."
Lennon. He frowne
Leona didn't listen to Aleigha and bought the latest purse.
Everything she bought afterwards was also up to date. She never took Aleigha's advice.
In the end, Aleigha bought a LV limited edition wallet for Adrian. She didn't buy anything for
herself.
Leona, however, came out with her arms full.
Lennon didn't say much the whole time. He only talked to Aleigha when Leona was in the fitting room.
It was just that Aleigha seldom replied to him.
