Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 316
A man's deep voice sounded. "Are you done?"
Looking at the time, she replied, "Give me another half an hour."
She still had to make arrangements and relay her orders to the others.
Aidan answered, "Okay."
The call ended and Leanna went out of her office.
Although the studio was not large, many miscellaneous things needed to be taken care of.
Previously, Zoe was responsible for such things while Leanna only needed to provide her designs.
After she finished with all the arrangements, it was already one hour later.
Grabbing her things, she ran out of the studio and immediately saw the Rolls Royce parked in front of her.
She pulled the door open and got in. Then, she put on her seatbelt and said, "I'm done. Let's go."
"Shall we go get a bite?"
"Sure… Wait! Let's head home first. The stuff I made is still in the fridge."
With a slight tilt of his head, Aidan motioned to her. "Look behind you."
Turning her head, Leanna saw that all the food she had prepared was neatly packed in food containers.
She curled her lips, but the smile only lasted for two seconds as she thought of the condition of the food.
The man looked at her and asked, "What's the matter?"
Leanna laughed dryly and thought that she should not break his self-esteem. "Nothing. Let's eat. Where are we going after lunch?"
"You'll know when you get there."
After that, the car slowly drove away. She noticed that he was not wearing a suit but a simple casual outfit, which made him look less cold and more relaxed.
Noticing her gaze, he turned his head with happiness in his eyes. "Are you looking at me because you're hungry or you want to have me for lunch?"
Leanna was speechless.
It was better when he didn't speak.
He's acting all vulgarly again once he starts talking.
They had lunch at a nearby restaurant. When they finished, Leanna looked at the time and saw it was already 3.00PM.
It would be dark soon if they did not hurry up.
While they exited the restaurant, she saw that he was walking slowly behind her, so she grabbed his hand and pulled him forward. "Pick up the pace!"
Raising his eyebrow, he asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I'm… rushing home to get some sleep."
Then, Aidan held her hand and walked forward. This time, his pace was visibly faster.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of a large clubhouse.
It seemed like Aidan was a regular here because he brought her straight inside without any pause.
Leanna followed behind him while looking around and found that this place was incredibly huge. It was at least a few thousand square feet.
Aidan asked, "Do you wanna play golf or go horse-riding first?"
She was rendered speechless.
Recalling the events at the holiday retreat, she did not feel like choosing any of those.
Then, she noticed that there was a large map on the wall beside her, so she let go of his hand and went over. She saw that not only did this clubhouse have a golf course and a horse ranch, but also a shooting range, a rock climbing arena… and even a racing track.
As expected from a place where the rich would come to spend money.
Looking at Aidan, she questioned, "Are there any other options? I wanna do rock climbing. That seems more exciting."
With his hands in his pocket, he answered calmly, "I only know these two."
Pouting, she ignored him and walked toward the rock climbing arena. "This is such a huge place, so there must be trainers around. I'll go find one."
Aidan licked his thin lips and warned, "The trainers are all men. Aren't you afraid they'll take advantage of you?"
Not all men in the world are as dirty-minded as you, pfft.
She could not help feeling angry when she recalled the time when he had taught her how to play golf and boldly touched her.
That was why she was not interested in such activities.
However, she never expected to see a familiar figure when she arrived at the rock climbing arena.
This…
It is indeed a place where rich people gather.
She had already started to regret her impulsive actions.
Georgina unbuckled the safety latch on her waist, turned around, and wiped her sweat when she met Leanna's gaze.
After snorting, she threw away the towel in her hands. "How can they let just anyone come into this place?"
Georgina's friends all heard what she said and followed her line of sight. The gaze they shot at Leanna was filled with traces of curiosity and disdain.
At that moment, Aidan came and stood beside Leanne with an expressionless face.
When the others saw him, they quickly withdrew their gazes.
The trainer standing beside the group asked, "Miss Crossley, do you wanna try it again?"
Georgina snapped. "No. I don't feel like continuing anymore. What a way to spoil my day."
As she spoke, she grabbed her things and left.
Her friends also hurriedly followed behind her.
Gritting her teeth, Leanna exclaimed, "Shut up!"
How could I have known that I'd be so unlucky to meet Georgina here?
And that b*stard dares to throw such sarcastic remarks at me.
Laughing, he asked, "Are you still going rock climbing?"
"Of course! Why not?"
If she backed down now, it might make her look intimidated.
Just as she was about to head over there, the trainer came over with two sets of climbing gear. "President Pearson."
Aidan only took one set from the trainer before dismissing him.
Then, he helped Leanna get into the gear while she looked at him in confusion. "Didn't you say you don't know how to rock climb?"
"It depends on who I'm with."
This b*stard has a way with words.
After everything was prepared, Aidan explained the basics of rock climbing, including where to exert strength, and took a few steps backward. "Go ahead."
Inhaling a deep breath, Leanna stepped on a protruding rock while grabbing hold of another.
Then, she began to climb upward.
Her legs were already trembling when she got to about two to three meters high.
Just as she was thinking of going back down, she heard the b*stard repeatedly asking the trainer, "How high did Georgina Crossley climb?"
Not understanding Aidan's question, the trainer wondered why he would bring a woman here yet be concerned about another. He laughed dryly and answered, "Miss Crossley… I think about ten meters."
"Oh."
Aidan did not speak any further.
Hearing that, Leanna gritted her teeth and continued to climb upward.
However, this was her first time rock climbing, so she could not control her strength and technique. As such, she only managed to climb up another meter before she could not move anymore.
Only when she looked down, she saw how high she had gotten. Moreover, the trainer, who was talking to Aidan earlier, had disappeared.
Instead, there was only Aidan, who was smirking while looking at her, as if he was waiting for her to beg him.
However, she could not bring herself to do that, so she held onto the wall, breathed slowly, and remained still.
Soon, she heard his voice from below. "Do you want to come down?"
She stubbornly refused, "No. I like the view up here."
"Are you planning to stay there all afternoon?"
After staying silent for a while, Leanna decided to endure her resentment and asked, "How do I get down?"
