"Whatever, " Leanna eventually responded.
"Please give me a secure room," she added. "If anyone sneaks into my room in the middle ofthe night, I will call the police.'
The manager stared back at her, speechless.
He snuck a glance at Aidan to seek his opinion before swiftly replying to Leanna, "Very well, Miss. I will lead you to your room. "
She smiled. "It is fine. There is someone else standing right here who can lead the way, right?"
She then walked toward the elevator.
Aidan shoved his hands into his pockets and slowly walked behind her.
He strode into the lift and pressed the button for the top floor.
Jonathan did not follow them into the elevator, so it was only the two of them inside.
She silently stood there with her eyes darting around to study the elevator.
Aidan glanced at her and took a step closer to her. Just as his lips palted to speak, she dashed back to cling to the elevator wall. "Do not try it again, President Pearson," she declared, crossing her arms before her chest. "Cameras are wa
He grabbed her hood and dragged her closer to him. "Do you think that is enough to keep me away if I truly wanted to do something to you?"
"Please mind your words. Do not speak of the law with such disdain. Every word you speak is currently being recorded. "
He chuckled. "It is such a shame you did not study law, Leanna. "
"That only proves that someone will shine in whatever industly they want to when they are that talented. "
"You would surely come out of a talk show as a winner. "
Leanna was rendered speechless by that.
Well, that was not a bad suggestion.
"What are you doing here?" Aidan calmly asked, letting go of her hood.
"There is no lule that states only you may come or that I cannot. "
"I have some business to attend to," he stated.
"I..." She was here for a vacation.
She cleared her throat and rubbed her nose, leaving her previous sentence unfinished.
Just then, the elevator doors opened.
She walked out of the lift with her eyes glued to the floor.
She had only taken a few steps when she heard him say, "It is this way. '
She paused and took a few deep breaths before swiftly marching in the correct direction.
When she eventually found the room labeled on her key card, she hurriedly unlocked the door, dashed in, then slammed the door shut behind her.
Her actions were done so swiftly that it felt like she was afraid a celtain someone would force their way in.
As he stood before her door, he licked his lips once more.
Soon, Jonathan and the hotel manager appeared to unlock the door next to Leanna's.
He entered the room and said to Jonathan, "Leanna is likely here because she wants to head to Underwood Lane. Take care of the
Issues. "
"Well, Madam is here now," Jonathan tentatively said. "Do you still not plan on telling her the truth, sir?"
"There is no benefit in letting her know at this time," Aidan replied. "After all, women are such emotional, troublesome beings. "
The moment Leanna knew about the child, she would be overwhelmed by the urge to visit him once in a while.
Too many trips to Weavside would lead to the Pearsons getting suspicious.
"Yes, sir."
Aidan's only wish was for kanna to be slower to get back to him.
After Jonathan left the room, Aidan moved to stand before the floor-to-ceiling windows and called Naomi.
