Leanna put the baby down in the crib before asking him to leave. "You should leave, President Pearson. I'm going to sleep."
Aidan gazed at her as he slowly drawled out the words, "You can only call it resting if it's one person. It's called sleeping only when there are two people. Since you put it that way, does that mean you want me to sleep with you?"
What the Eck is he talking about? she thought to herself.
Just as she was about to kick him out, her phone that was in the bag rang.
Afraid that it would wake the baby up, she lushed to pick it up.
She took a look at the caller ID. Then, she glanced at the man sitting on the couch before walking into the bathroom.
She picked up the call as soon as she was in the bathroom, but right before the bathroom door shut, she called out Elijah's name and it didn't go unnoticed by Aidan.
He put down the book in his hands as his lips pressed into a thin line.
In the bathroom, Leanna went over to the Minclow and pushed it open after she had shut the door while asking, "i%at's up?"
Elijah's voice came from the other end of the line. "I heard Zoe say you've gone to Weavside. How is it?"
She smiled gently. "It's pretty nice. The pace here is slower than at Highside. So, it's relaxing."
"That sounds nice. It makes me want to visit that place too. " He paused for a while before revealing his intention with the call. "Leanna, how... long more before your retum trip?"
"Probably ftvo or three days' time. '
He continued to ask, "They're setting up a class reunion this weekend. Would you go?"
Leanna answered, "I'll see when the time comes, but didn't we just have a reunion some time ago? Why another reunion so soon?"
"It was only a few of us the last time. This time it's for the whole class. If you're not going, I'm not going as well."
Hearing his stance, Leanna felt pressured and thought about it before answering, "I'll ask Zoe first and see what she says. "
She was never one for crowds. Moreover, she wasn't close Mith many of her classmates and lost contact with them after graduation.
This type of huge reunion was a first for her in a long time.
So, she wanted to ask Zoe to see whether there was a reason for her to attend. If it was just a simple reunion, she probably would not attend.
"Okay," Elijah answered. "I'll pick you up at the airport when you come back, Leanna."
"It's okay. 1—" A knocking sound interrupted her.
Before she could respond, Aidan's voice came through the door. "Are you done showering? I've been waiting for half an hour."
Leanna was speechless. That b*stard definitely did this on purpose!
For a brief moment, Elijah went silent on the other end of the phone before speaking, "Go do your thing, Leanna. Let me know when you've decided."
After hanging up the phone, she pulled the door open and glared at Aidan. She was about to lash out at him, but she suddenly remembered that the baby was in the room.
Gritting her teeth, she suppressed her anger.
On the other hand, Aidan casually leaned on the door frame with his hands crossed in front of his chest. "You took a long time in there. I needed to use the bathroom."
Leanna gritted the words tln•ough her teeth. "Don't you have your own room, President Pearson?"
"The heater in my room isn't working, " he said as he pulled her out of the bathroom. "Get me a change of clothes, will you?
Though, it's okay if you don't want to. I don't mind—"
Without waiting to hear his nonsense, Leanna pushed him into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.
She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
Who could she blame as things had turned out this way? It all started tln•ee years ago when she grabbed his sleeve at Patheon Club.
So, in other words, the fault was on her. You reap what you sow, Leanna, she thought to herself bitterly.
Aidan threatened her, "If you're still not going to shower, I'll take advantage of you right now. "
That made Leanna jump up from the bed. She wanted to strangle him.
He sat on the couch and calmly assured her, "I'll leave after you're out of the shower. "
"Really? I don't believe you, though."
He looked at her and chuckled. "If I really wanted to do something, did I need to wait until now?"
"Don't you feel ashamed for the things you just said?"
The b *stard said it like he's innocent.
He crossed his long, slender legs. "It's up to you to believe it or not."
After that, he merely sat there and it didn't seem like he was going to leave anytime soon.
Leanna looked at her baby in deep slumber beside her and made up her mind. I will not shower in front of him! She then fell back into the bed and iuapped herself in the blanket again.
Aidan was speechless at her defiance.
Just as he was about to say something, she wamed him, "There's always a line you should not cross, President Pearson. "
Even though she had been enduring him today, it didn't mean that he could push his luck.
He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Am I so unworthy of your trust?"
"This isn't about frust! "
"Then, what is it?"
She didn't answer him.
