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.
