Leanna laughed awkwardly before she continued, “No. I’m… living somewhere else. I’m not living together with him.”

It was obvious that Louis did not quite believe her.

She cleared her throat. “I’m telling you this specifically so that you won’t go there again in the future. But I don’t want you to travel there in vain.”

“I got it.” Louis added, “Then, what is your new address?”

She replied without the slightest change in her expression, “I’m not sure yet. I’ll let you know once I’ve finished moving in.”

“When are you moving?”

“Maybe… in a few days’ time? You should focus on school. I’ll just hire a moving company.” In order to avoid revealing her secret, she continued, “Besides, I still have Aidan.”

He said, “After you finish moving in, tell… Forget it. It’s better if I don’t go.”

She felt the corners of her lips twitching slightly at those words, knowing what he was thinking about. Whatever; this is good too. I don’t know what excuse I could use to fool him if he suddenly decides to come and visit me.

Louis seemed to have other things to do, so he left after a short while.

Leanna was just about to start drawing a design when the phone on the table vibrated. It was a message from Daphne asking whether she was busy and inviting her to have dinner together in the

evening if she had the time.

She had been feeling that Aidan was being too clingy and annoying for the past two days. It was to the point where he refused to go to the company for work, preferring to handle things online. Hence, she had already been thinking about how to get rid of him and immediately agreed to have dinner with Daphne.

Not long afterward, she sent another message to Aidan, telling him that she had an appointment tonight and that he did not have to come and pick her up.

Aidan replied, ‘You sure are busy.’

Naturally, she sensed his reluctance, and she couldn’t help beaming. Then, she kept her phone away and buckled down to work.

Time flew by, and soon, it was evening. Leanna rose to her feet and stretched for a bit before she slipped her phone into her pocket and walked out of her office.

Daphne had arrived at some point and was currently reading a magazine on the couch inside the studio.

Leanna sauntered over. “Have you been waiting long?”

Daphne put the magazine down when she heard Leanna’s voice. “I arrived not too long ago. The crew ended work ahead of schedule today, so I came over early since I had nothing better to do.” After she said that, she continued in a whisper. “I heard from the young lady in your studio that President Pearson comes to pick you up every single day. Will he come after me for revenge once he learns I’m kidnapping you today?”

Leanna huffed in amusement. “Sometimes I wonder just what on Earth is going on in that head of yours. I told him that I was busy tonight and asked him not to come over.”

“In my opinion, President Pearson is not somebody who will listen—”

Sure enough, the words had barely left Daphne’s mouth when Aidan’s figure appeared at the door. Then, he butted into the conversation and asked dispassionately, “Not what?”

She immediately entered her business mode and replied seriously, “Of course, President Pearson is not… somebody who will play around with a woman’s feelings. If he said he would come and pick you up, he would surely come and pick you up.”

Both Leanna and Aidan said nothing in response.

Daphne tentatively probed the situation. “Uh… Look, why don’t I just leave for today? So I won’t intrude upon your date.”

Just as she was about to sneak away, Aidan spoke up without warning. “Stop right there.”

She immediately froze on the spot.

Then, she turned around, glanced at Leanna, and lowered his voice. “Something came up at the company, so I have to head there now. I might not be able to return tonight, so don’t wait for me.”

Leanna replied, “Okay.”

I hope he never comes back. But, thanks to his passionate embrace recently, my body is about to break into pieces.

As though he could read her mind, he reached forward, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulled her into his embrace. His lips were just about to touch hers when she noticed that Daphne was secretly

watching them. She reflexively pushed him away without even thinking about it and cleared her throat. “Okay, okay. I got it.”

Look at the way this b*stard talks… You’d think that place is his home.

“I’ll be taking my leave then. Send me a message when you arrive home.”

“Yeah, yeah. I got it.” She agreed to his request without much thought, simply hoping that he would leave as quickly as possible.

After Aidan departed, Daphne finally breathed a sigh of relief. But, at the same time, she couldn’t help feeling a little excited. It was her first time seeing such a gentle side in him.

It seems like the rumors flying around within the Pearson Group about President Pearson speaking in a gentle and doting tone while on the phone with his girlfriend during meetings are not fake. I even have proof! Hah!

During dinner, Leanna asked, “What have you been doing recently?”

Daphne took a sip of tea. “I’ve been filming.”

Leanna paused for a moment before saying, “Is it the same one as before?”

“That’s right. It’s the one that’s being filmed near your brother’s school. We’re already halfway through, but I’m about to die from exhaustion every day. It’s rare for us to finish work so early.” After she ranted for a bit, she paused for a moment before she continued, “Sigh. Your brother’s acting skills are not too shabby. Won’t he consider becoming an artist in the future? He shouldn’t waste his good looks.”

She needed clarification and definitely needed help understanding those words. “What do you mean by acting skills?”

A puzzled Daphne explained, “Isn’t that movie being filmed near their school? Sometimes we will shoot certain scenes inside the school, so we require several students to play various cameo roles. The producer contacted the school regarding the matter, and your brother was the first candidate recommended by the school. Thanks to his good looks, the director increased the number of scenes from only a few scenes to a whopping thirty scenes. We’re not done shooting those scenes even now.”

When she heard Daphne’s words, Leanna didn’t even know where to begin.

Daphne asked, “Didn’t he tell you?”

The corners of Leanna’s mouth twitched. “Nope.”

“It’s okay. This is not something important anyway. He is only in his freshman year, so this experience is good for him. In any case, when the director told me about this matter, based on his personality, I thought he would never agree to the proposal. I can’t believe he actually agreed. Following the broadcast of this drama, he will surely gain many fans. That’s why the producer asked me whether he was interested in joining the entertainment industry. Many companies are eager to sign a contract with him.”

So, that’s what has been keeping Louis busy recently.

Leanna opened her mouth, but it took some time for her to reply. “I don’t know either. He will have to decide for himself.”

Daphne nodded. “I’ll take the time to ask him in the next two days.”

Leanna suddenly seemed to realize something important when she heard those words. So, she tentatively inquired, “Do you and Louis meet each other often recently?”

Daphne said, “Yeah. Aside from his cameo roles, he also comes to the set from time to time whenever he’s free. So, we basically meet each other every single day.”

Leanna lifted a hand and touched her eyebrows. An idea was beginning to brew inside her mind.

Daphne took another sip of her drink and remarked, “There are many young ladies among the crew who like him. I would have fancied him if I were younger by a few years.”

Leanna coughed, but she couldn’t stop herself from asking. “Do you… not like him now?”

Hearing that question made Daphne choke on her drink. After a while, she finally calmed down and said, “Now? I’m already twenty-six. Your brother is only eighteen, right? How can I fall in love with somebody his age? That’s embarrassing!”

Leanna couldn’t help herself as she corrected Daphne, “Nineteen.” Then, she increased his age a little more. “Almost twenty.” After a short pause, she continued, “Besides, dating puppy-like guys seems to be the trend nowadays.”

Daphne thought for a moment and laughed. “Your brother is probably a wolfhound, though.”

Their conversation soon shifted to other topics. It was evident that Daphne did not think much about this topic. She figured that Leanna was just joking around.
