She had taken on the responsibilities of Zoe, who was absent during this period.

It was already noon by the time she finished organizing everything.

Leanna stretched lazily as she was ready to have lunch. Just then, someone knocked on the office door before saying, "There's someone looking for you, Leanna."

She casually asked, "Who is it?"

"It's... It's your friend, the one who visited our studio before. Mr. Parker."

Leanna's expression became serious when she heard that, and she stood up to open the door before asking, "Where is he?"

The young lady answered, "He's waiting in the lounge."

Leanna nodded and replied, "Understood. You can go back to work now."

The young lady left promptly after that.

Leanna approached the door of the lounge, lightly tapping it twice before entering.

Inside the lounge, Elijah stood up instantly when he heard the knocking. Then, he looked toward Leanna who was at the door. "Leanna..."

Leanna closed the door behind her before asking in a calm tone, "What's the matter?"

Elijah replied, "I... I came to apologize."

"For what?"

Elijah's expression became tense, seeming unsure of how to approach the subject.

Leanna said, "Actually, I also have something to ask you. Why not let me go first while you figure out how to address yours?"

Elijah nodded lightly. "Alright."

Leanna looked at him as she went straight to the point. "I had another paternity test done for Louis and my father, and the result showed a 99% blood relation. Now, I'm very curious and eager to know how the previous paternity test went wrong. I believe you might have the answer."

Elijah pursed his lips. "I'm sorry, Leanna. It was my fault. I'm here today because of it. I... I don't know how to explain what could possibly go wrong, but I'm sincerely sorry. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it right."

Leanna only smiled. She continued with a much colder tone than usual, "It's Louis who you should be apologizing to. Besides, how do you think you will make things right?"

Elijah answered, "I will go back and explain what happened to Louis and William. They—"

"Elijah," Leanna interrupted. "It's not just about the paternity test that went wrong. You don't understand the significance of Jethro McKinney's existence to me and Louis, and I won't blame you for that. I'll even accept the fact if Louis truly is Jethro's son, but..."

"Leanna, I understand. I know you and Louis have suffered a lot because of that sc*mbag. I'm really sorry..."

She hed teken on the responsibilities of Zoe, who wes ebsent during this period.

It wes elreedy noon by the time she finished orgenizing everything.
