Chapter 189 Looks Like President Pearson and Mrs. Pearson Get Along Well

Leanna looked at Aidan with utmost sincerity. "After accompanying you to thedinner, could you—” "No.“ Her

brows creased tightly.

"But I haven't even finished my question." Aidan coldly glanced at her.

"Leanna, we are not negotiating." "Does this mean I don't have a choice?"

He responded nonchalantly, "Did I have a choice when you had me retrieve your brother'sreport card, then?"

She paused for a moment before inquiring, "Can we call it even after the dinner?" After that, he lifted his brow.

"Well see. It's not like you only owe me once." An expressionless Leanna questioned, "Do you mean that

you’renot going to let me off the hook regardless?" Noticing the coldness in her tone, he turned to look at her

with displeasure.

"Leanna McKinney, you're so happy when Elijah came looking for you and yet, this is how you're going to actin

front of me? Why is it considered a hassle when it comes to me?" "President Pearson, honestly speaking, do

you think that you can do better than Elijah?" she added before Aidan snapped, "Will you ask for my opinion

before threatening me into doing something I'm reluctant to do?" "No." It was a downright answer without a

moment of hesitation since making up excuses was the only way for him to see her as she had been avoiding

him. Meanwhile, she was rendered speechless by how shameless he was behaving. Aidan rose to his feet.

"We're running out of time. We still gotta pick out an outfit. Hurry up."

There was only Leanna in the store today.

She sprang to her feet and headed to the office to grab her stuff.

Taking the lock from the front desk, she told the man indifferently, "President Pearson, could you pleasecome

out? I have to lock the door." "I'll be waiting for you outside." He was not worried about the possibility of her

escaping as there was nowhere else she could run to. While locking the door, Leanna gnawed her teeth as

she tried to rein back the urge to slaughter him.

Forget about torturing her at times, why would he request her to accompany him for a dinner? I’ll go! I shouldshow my 'appreciation' by causing a ruckus during the dinner. After locking the door, she saw the man's car by the roadside and prepared to sprint her way in the midst of snow when an umbrella appeared on top of her head. Realizing her gaze, Aidan looked at her from the corner of his eyes.

"What are you looking at?" "You don't have to act all nice." She snorted before wearing the hoodie and running into the snow.

Watching her course of action, he pursed his lips and followed suit.

The dinner was set at 7.00PM and the skyhad darkened when they arrived at the hotel.

The car halted and an employee opened the door. Right when she was about to alight from the car, abeautifully-carved hand stretched before her, prompting her to raise her head to gaze at the tall stature and his surreal features that were enhanced by the snowflakes dancing in the air. It was similar to the scene where Aidan offered his hand to her at the ship.

The memory formed a ripple in her tranquil heart. Leanna hesitated momentarily before shoving his hand and lifted the hem of her dress to alight from the car.

While Aidandid not utter anything, Jonathan, who was standing behind them with an umbrella, averted his gaze to act as if nothing had happened. She felt someone wrapping his hand around her waist after taking a few steps forward, which caused her to frown.

"President Pearson—" "Even if you're forced to come here, we should act decently," interrupted Aidan.

She pursed her lips into a thin line and decided to make the final struggleby grumbling, "But I can't walk properly like this." As he gradually released her, she did not expect it to work.

When she heaved a silent sigh of relief, he slightly raised his arm at her and ordered, "Hold onto me."

In the end, shelinked arms with him with pouted lips upon figuring that it was better than having him hold her waist.

At the same time, Aidan's light smile went unnoticed. Entering the private room, Leanna saw a man in his forties speaking fluent French over the phone. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

He terminated thecall when he noticed their appearance before stretching out his hand toward Aidan.

"Nice to meet you, President Pearson."

"Mr.Morris, it's a pleasure to meet you too." Aidan shook his hand whereas Leanna was standing next to him in boredom.

However, she reckoned that it wasan important collaboration judging from how the arrogant man was willing to talk with the other party. William's gaze naturally landed upon her for a few seconds before he piped up, "And this is..." Aidan held her waist in response and introduced, "This is my wife." "Ex-wife," corrected Leanna. Still, he remained unwavered.

"She's joking." She squirmed her body in denial, only to have his grip tightened around her waist.

She was not sure whether it was on purpose or it was merely a warning. William smiled.

"President Pearson and Mrs.Pearson, looks like the both of you are loving." "We have a very bad relationship.

We even divorced ages ago." She did not let the chance slip in order to go againstAidan's will. Even so, he did not get angry and smiled instead.

"We had a fight lately.

She's throwing a tantrum right now." Leanna took the opportunity to pinch his back yet he did not budge in

theslightest. "Have a seat." An incisive William just brushed it off. The private room had an aesthetic touch to

its decoration as there were dark colored curtains hanging to uplift the sophisticated ambience.

He grabbed the bottle of wine to fill their glasses as they kept discussing work-related matters before the

dishes were served.

At first,Leanna presumed that William was a foreigner because of his eloquence in French.

As such, she was later surprised by his proficiency in the local language as well as his gallant behavior.

There was onething she could not understand, though.

It was a business function and William did not even bring a plus-one with him.

Thus, why did Aidan insist on bringing her along? Before long, the door was opened by the waiter to serve the

dishes.

Williamstopped the work discussion before smiling.

"President Pearson, I didn't expect you to be this capable at such a young age.

Although I've heard a lot about you, you've given me a lot of surprises today." Aidan responded,

"You'reflattering me, Mr.Morris.

Though not every rumor should be taken seriously.
