Leanna collected her thoughts and smiled. “It’s nothing.”
Zoe picked up the drawings and said, “Then, I’ll take my leave. Call me if anything happens.”
“All right. Go ahead.”
Later that morning, when Leanna went to the pantry to take a glass of water, a young lady slowly
scooted over and whispered, “Miss McKinney, can I ask you a question?”
When Leanna heard her voice, her hand shook as she unconsciously remembered the humiliating
incident in the morning.
She placed her glass down and turned around with a small smile. “Of course. What is it?”
“It’s just…” The young lady hesitated a little, as if she did not know how to begin.
Leanna didn’t rush her either and waited for her to figure it out.
After a while, the young lady asked, “Miss McKinney, do you remember who the people who came to
our studio were? He was a middle-aged man in his forties, and he looked wealthy and elegant.”
Leanna was puzzled by her question. “Why are you asking this all of a sudden?”
The young lady let out a sigh and continued, “Yesterday, the man who came looking for you in the
studio… he was your dad, right?”
Leanna pursed her lips, indicating for her to continue.
“After I saw him, I couldn’t help but think of someone else. I kept getting a similar aura from the both of
them. The other person must’ve visited our studio, but I just couldn’t remember who he was, and I
couldn’t remember anything even after thinking about it all night. I hope you don’t mind, Miss McKinney,
but I’ve always been like this since I was little. I won’t give up on something until I come up with the
answer.”
Leanna smiled. “It’s fine. That happens to me occasionally too.”
The young lady added, “With all the people coming to the studio every day, you probably don’t
remember. It’s okay if you don’t, I’m just asking.”
If she had asked this question earlier, Leanna might indeed have had no impression. However, this
morning, she was just thinking about this particular person, and so, as soon as the young lady brought
it up, she knew who it was. Still, there was a difference between Lloyd and William.
Lloyd’s gentle elegance was deliberately feigned, and after all these years, it had almost become a
thick mask that became one with him, so that his emotions would not be easily revealed. On the other
hand, William was a gentleman through and through. However, Aidan was right when he said that he
was a businessman who occasionally had his scheming moments. These two might be similar to a
certain extent, but if one looked closely, they would realize that they were fundamentally different.
Leanna said, “There must be someone like that. It rings a bell for me as well.”
Hearing that, the young lady exhaled deeply. “You think so too? The other girls didn’t believe me when I
told them. It’s a good thing that this person exists; it proves that I wasn’t hallucinating. Anyway, I’ll get
back to work, Miss McKinney.”
“Off you go.”
After returning to the office, Leanna took out her phone and pondered number. “Elijah, are you free
now?”
“I am. What’s wrong?”
She asked in a soft voice, “Can you come out for a cup of coffee?”
Without any hesitation, he immediately agreed.
After deciding on a meeting spot, Leanna tidied her things and left after notifying the other girls in the
studio.
When Leanna got into the car, she had just inserted the keys when she recalled something. She
retrieved her phone from her pocket and sent a message to Aidan. ‘I’m going to see Elijah. There’s
something I want to ask him.’
It’s better to make things clear in advance before that b*stard gets jealous all of a sudden again.
Aidan must’ve been busy as she didn’t receive a reply.
There was a bit of traffic on the way there, and by the time she arrived, Elijah was already waiting for
her.
She took the seat across from him and apologized, “I’m sorry. Did I keep you waiting?”
He smiled as he waved a server over. “I was earlier than you by only two minutes. What do you want to
drink?”
After Leanna ordered an iced Americano, Elijah took the menu from her and ordered two desserts
before handing it back to the server. “That is all.”
After the server left, Leanna didn’t waste any time and got for me earlier… did you have anything you
wanted to ask?”
Likely not expecting her question, Elijah paused for a moment before replying, “Why did you bring this
up all of a sudden? Leanna, I didn’t mean anything by that. I just wanted to see you…” That’s all.
Leanna said, “That day, at Crossley Group’s bid meeting, he said in front of everyone that I might be
Lloyd’s daughter. You know about this, right?”
He nodded. “I’ve heard of it.”
“Before this, Daniel reminded me many times to be why he approached Georgina is not because he
likes her, but to achieve some kind of purpose, am I right?”
This time, Elijah’s face turned a little more grave, and he opened his mouth, but did not speak.
She continued, “Combined with the things that happened in Crossley Group some time ago and what
Daniel did, I have good reason to suspect that these things must have some sort of meaningful
connection to him. Even if he didn’t plan it himself, he must’ve been contributing to it secretly.”
“Leanna, I…”
“I know that you and Daniel are not just friends, and all of these things are just my speculation.
Besides, I won’t tell anyone, and I won’t ask either. It has little to do with me whether your purpose is to
obtain the Crossley Family, or to destroy it.”
Saying that, Leanna took a small breath. “I just want to know something. Besides you people, is there
anyone who has the same goals?”
Elijah broke into a laugh. “Leanna, you know that person.”
Without waiting for her response, he continued, “In this series of incidents in the Crossley Family,
President Pearson’s contributions were no less than ours.”
He added, “In fact, although Lloyd is running Crossley Group well, the things he gets up to secretly
aren’t as glamorous, so he’s made a lot of enemies. What’s more, in this part of the business world,
there are never any permanent friends, only unchanging interests.”
Leanna seemed to expect that he would not tell the truth. She didn’t hold out much hope either, so she
only smiled lightly.
Just then, the server returned with their coffee, ending their conversation.
Using this opportunity, Elijah changed the topic. “I heard that you joined The Designer Competition.
How are your preparations going?”
Leanna nodded. “It’s all right. I’m still in the preliminary stage, so I’ll have to wait and see.”
“You have the skills to go international a long time ago, but…”
“It’s all in the past.”
Elijah sighed quietly. “Yes, it’s all in the past.”
However, while some things could be left in the past, that wasn’t always the case for everything else.
When they parted ways, Elijah called out to her. “Leanna.”
She turned around and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“You…” He pursed his lips before continuing, “If possible, don’t look into Lloyd. He’s more dangerous
than you think.”
