Chapter 112

Chapter 112 Is It Difficult to Guess?

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.

Why 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?

After 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.”
