Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 693

Chapter 693 Better Than Nothing

Leanna ran her fingers through her hair. "That takes talent. That's not something you can learn."

Aidan cocked his eyebrow and pulled her into his embrace. "Guess I'm better off doing the finances."

Leanna pushed him away. "Alright, enough fooling around. I need to get to work."

"And you were very nearly late for work."

"I'm the owner. I can show up whenever I damn please."

"So, when are you paying me, boss?" Aidan whispered, staring into her eyes.

Leanna might call him a lowlife at times, but he was seductively handsome. Her heart beat a bit faster, and she looked away. "It hasn't been long since you started here, and we only pay after a month, you…"

"I charge by the minute."

Yeah, and no one can afford that. She said seriously, "You passed your probation. You are a brilliant man, but you're not what we're looking for. Perhaps there's something out there that matches your skills better." She tried to get up, but he pinned her down.

"And where did you learn company lingo?"

Leanna paused for a moment and chuckled, then she pulled his hand. "I really need to work now."

Aidan finally let her go, then he leaned back and looked around. "Ever considered getting a bigger office space?"

Leanna sat across from him and flipped through her draft book. "No. This is perfect for me. I'm working alone, you see."

"Not now you're not."

Leanna held her pen and mused over it. "I can convert the room next door into an office for you. It's rather big."

A moment of silence later, Aidan said, "Forget it. I'll just squeeze in with you."

Leanna held back her laughter and went back to work. She would stop talking to him for a while. There were only two months left before the fashion show. She didn't have much time and there were a ton of designs she needed to hand in. If she didn't work hard, she wouldn't make it in time.

The two of them worked in silence the whole afternoon. When Leanna was done with her draft, it was already dusk. Aidan was going through the emails, looking cool. Leanna leaned on the table and stared at him, a smile curling her lips.

Only after a while did Aidan notice her stare, and he looked up from the computer. Their eyes met for a moment, then Leanna sat up and coughed. She snapped out of it and looked away in embarrassment. Well, I got caught. She said, "It's late. We should leave."

"Let's go," said Aidan.

Leanna put her draft book in her bag and packed her things up, then she left her office. The studio was quiet as the girls had already clocked out for the day. Leanna checked the time. It's already nine. She quickly called Zoe. "Zoe, have you had dinner? I'm coming home if you hav—"

"Eh, it's alright. I got myself some delivery. Just go on your date with him, or he might kill me."
