Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158 Do You Have to Be Sarcastic?

Leanna quirked a brow upon hearing so. “Don’t think so.”

“Oh, I want to go back to college again. The dating scene in the student days was the best. It’s been a long time since I last felt that kind of infatuation.”

“It’ll have to be his call. I’ve asked him once, and he…” Leanna couldn’t help shaking her head as she chuckled to herself when she recollected their conversation.

Sometime later, during their chat, a knock came on the door to their private room. It was the server bringing their dishes over.

Just then, someone passed by and happened to take an unconscious glance inside. A second after registering what they saw, they turned into the private room. “What a surprise to see you guys here.”

Zoe and Leanna reflexively looked up upon hearing the voice to find it was Daphne standing at the entrance.

Daphne had been on set for the past few months, and she had also called to check up on Leanna when she heard about the incident. But who’d have thought she would bump into them right as she came back?

“Are you also eating here?” Leanna asked.

“Yeah, with A—” Daphne quickly swallowed her words and chuckled hollowly. “My boss has a lunch meeting about some film investment here, so he asked me to join.”

Zoe didn’t register who this ‘boss’ was. “How long until you guys finish the meeting? We’ll wait for you. We’re waiting for Nana’s brother in the meantime anyway.”

Daphne did a quick shift with her eyes before saying with a smile, “We’re almost done. I’ll come right over after saying bye. You guys can go ahead and eat. No need to wait for me; I’ve already eaten plenty.”

“Sure, go ahead.”

After Daphne left, Zoe grabbed an appetizer, and it wasn’t until mid-eating that something hit her.

Daphne is signed under Pearson Group. Doesn’t that make her boss…

Zoe lost her appetite in an instant, and her fork slipped, landing on her plate with a clink.

Just what sort of f*cking bad luck do we have?! Who’d have thought that b*stard is so coincidentally here when we’ve decided on a whim to eat in this place my friend recommended after working our a*s off for two months?!

With that, she snuck a peak at Leanna, wanting to see her reaction. The latter was drinking, and she asked with a smile when she caught Zoe looking at her, “What?”

“Hahaha, nothing. Nothing. Nana, don’t just drink. Here, eat something. It’ll be a while before Louis gets here.”

While speaking, Zoe kept scooping food into Leanna’s plate, piling it up very quickly, rendering Leanna at a loss for words.

Meanwhile, inside the next private room, Daphne took a tactical sip of water after sitting down. While the cup covered up her facial expression, she peeked from the corner of her eye at the man sitting beside her.

Aidan took an indifferent glance at her in exchange. Even when he said nothing, Daphne still felt inexplicably conscience-stricken.

A while later, Daphne thought it had arrived at the right time, and she put her cup down while clearing her throat. “President Pearson, everyone, I just got a call saying there’s an emergency at home. I’ll have to make a move; you guys enjoy yourselves.”

But little did she expect to hear Aidan’s distant voice right as she grabbed her bag. “What emergency?”

“It’s… some personal stuff. I appreciate your concern, President Pearson.”

Aidan raised his eyes and bore into Daphne as though to say, ‘The way you were looking at me just now didn’t scream emergency.’

I knew it! This b*stard isn’t easy to fool. At that, Daphne pulled a spot-on smile, saying, “Actually, I bumped into a couple of friends while I was outside. It’s been a while since I saw them. So…”

“Who’s the lead in this movie? You or me?” Aidan retorted icily.

Daphne knew he was insinuating her attitude toward her job and being irresponsible.
