It was getting hot in late May.
Ruby had been sharing Adrian's schedule with Leona. But every time she reached the spot on the schedule, he was gone.
That really pissed her off. She knew Adrian would change his schedule at the last minute.
But this was just too frequent. She couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with the schedule Ruby gave her.
Adrian had a new office next to his old one so he could keep an eye on Aleigha.
He'd know what she did every day in the first place.
He even prepared everything she ate and used himself.
This afternoon, Adrian was having a meeting. Aleigha wasn't involved because she had other things to do.
With a loud bang, her office was forcefully pushed open. Aleigha shivered slightly and looked out the door in anger.
Leona, who she had not seen for a few days, rushed in angrily. Without a word, she threw herself on Aleigha's office table and began to cry.
"Miss Gardner, we couldn't stop her. Would you like to call the security guard?"
The secretary stood outside the door with a frightened look on her face. She remembered that Adrian telling her to take care of Aleigha.
If this crazy woman did something to Aleigha, no one was gonna get away with it.
"I'm good. Off you go."
The secretary breathed a sigh of relief and closed the door. No one knew how many times she had scolded Leona in her heart.
"What are you doing? I told you I didn't want to see you again."
Aleigha's eyes were a little cold. She didn't know what Leona was up to.
"Aleigha, are you pregnant?"
Aleigha frowned slightly, and the coldness in her eyes was stronger. "Who told you that?"
"Everyone knows Adrian's trying his best to keep you safe and sound. He was even seen going to the mother and baby store.
"The only explanation is that you're pregnant."
"So what if I'm pregnant? What's that got to do with you?"
Aleigha raised the corner of her mouth slightly, looked at her mockingly.
Leona was stunned, and her face was wet with tears. She wanted to tear Aleigha apart, but she couldn't.
"Aleigha, you misunderstood me. I'm just mad that you didn't tell me.
"I'm sorry. I thought we were friends."
Friends?
Aleigha suddenly felt that this woman was probably out of her mind.
Aleigha's silence made Leona more anxious. She hurriedly threw away her purse and knelt before Aleigha.
Hugging Aleigha's calf, she cried like hell.
Aleigha could not hear clearly what she was talking about.
Maybe it was an apology or something.
Leona cried for a long time, but Aleigha was unmoved. But Leona didn't feel embarrassed at all.
She wiped her tears and said, "Aleigha, although we haven't known each other for a long time, I regard you as my best friend.
"Why can't you forgive me? Boo-hoo..."
Aleigha was speechless. For a moment, she wanted to call the psych ward.
"What are you doing? Who let you in in?"
Adrian came as soon as he knew Leona came to Aleigha again.
