Forget I Said Anything
A long while later, Louis said, “She’s beautiful.”
Daphne was waiting for him to say more, but he said nothing, so she asked, “That’s it?”
“That’s it.” Louis looked at her and seriously said, “You should see that I’m a shallow person.”
That’s not just shallow. That’s just perfunctory. Daphne tried to say something, but their ride had
stopped. They were at the company.
Louis got up and opened the door. “I’ll be going now. Goodbye.”
She waved him goodbye. “Bye.” Louis closed the door and made his way to the company, while
Daphne leaned on the car window, seeing him off. Eventually, she looked away. “Let’s go.”
At the same time, Jonathan went into the president’s office holding a stack of files. “It’s all here, sir.”
Aidan grunted. “Have you told the BOD?”
“Yes, but the company’s been going through some turbulence lately, so they probably know.”
“Good.” Aidan asked, “Have you contacted Justin?”
“Yes, but he said he found a doctor for the chairman, and the treatment’s going well, so he’s not coming
back for a while.”
Aidan put his pen down and went to the window wall, his hand in his pocket, and he looked into the
distance. “Go to Vinland and deal with this before the BOD meeting.”
Jonathan said, “But he won’t listen to me, si—”
“He will come back.”
Jonathan nodded. “Yes, sir.” And then he left.
Not long after that, Louis came in.
Aidan turned around. “What brings you here?”
“Just taking a stroll.”
Aidan went ahead and took a seat on the couch. “You told your sister?”
Louis knew what he was talking about, and he nodded.
Aidan said, “Keaton is keeping an eye on Theodore. It’ll be fine, so you should stay out of it.”
A moment of silence later, Louis said, “Thanks.”
Aidan cocked his eyebrow. “So, are you ready to see me as your brother-in-law?”
Louis was silent for a moment, then he said, “I need to go.”
Aidan stood up. “You can stay for as long as you want. I’m going.”
Louis remained seated. Aidan took his coat and left. Louis stayed for about half an hour, then he left
after he was sure Daphne had returned home.
Monday came. After she and Zoe went through a photoshoot session, Leanna came back to her office
to change her design draft. Not long after she sat down, she noticed a commotion happening outside.
Leanna put her pen down and was about to check what the hubbub was, but someone knocked on the
door. In came Charlotte, and she handed a bag over. “Here, it’s yours.”
Zoe had a habit of treating everyone to snacks sometimes, but snacks from this particular shop were
way beyond her spending power.
Charlotte said, “My uncle’s here to see me, and he bought a ton of food for us. Would you like more? I
can get some for you.”
Leanna paused for a moment. “Your uncle is here?”
“Yep,” said Charlotte. “But I told him you’re busy, so he won’t disturb you.”
Lenna looked at her design, then at the paper bag on her table. “I’m done. Let’s go.”
A group of girls surrounded Joseph, asking him a lot of questions. They were curious about Charlotte’s
rich and gentlemanly uncle. Joseph smiled at them, answering their questions politely. When Leanna
came out, he nodded at her. “Hello, Miss McKinney.”
“Mr. Woodley.”
Another client came into the workshop, and the ladies scarpered. Charlotte went back to her
workplace, getting ready to work.
“Come with me, Mr. Woodley.” They went into the waiting room, and Leanna asked, “What would you
like, Mr. Woodley?”
“Tea, please.”
Leanna rummaged through her stock. “Sorry, but this is all we have. Is oolong fine with you?”
“I’m okay.”
Leanna poured some hot water into the cup and placed it before Joseph.
“Thank you.”
“I should be the one saying thank you. You came all the way here, and you brought snacks,” said
Leanna.
“It’s alright, Miss McKinney. I’m just here to see Charlotte. She’s young and brash, so she might get on
her colleagues’ bad side. It’s just right to get something for them so they won’t trip Charlotte up.”
“Worry not, Mr. Woodley. Charlotte is getting along with them just fine.”
Joseph smiled and adjusted his glasses. “Is that so? That’s good to hear.” He whipped out a box and
placed it on the coffee table, then he pushed it over to Leanna. “I thought you might like this, so I
bought it.”
Leanna paused for a moment before she picked the box up. Inside it was the ring she saw at the
jewelry exhibition. Surprised, she asked, “I thought they didn’t sell these to the public.”
“They didn’t, but I liaised with the person in charge, and he sold it to me. Your favor is worth more than
this ring, after all.”
Theodore’s bedridden, so he’s not the one wanting my favor, which leaves… Joseph. Leanna put the
box down. “I’m afraid I don’t quite understand.”
“Ah, I was talking to Mr. Frost about a certain project, but he fell ill, and the project’s delayed
indefinitely. But since I came all the way to Highside, I thought I should nab something before I leave. I
heard the Pearson Group is developing something down at New Coast. May I have the honor of joining
it?”
Leanna smiled. “Mr. Woodley, you’re barking up the wrong tree. I’m just the owner of a jewelry
workshop. I have no idea about the Pearson Group’s project. It’s out of my depth.”
Joseph adjusted his glasses and smiled. “I see. Sorry for bringing it up so suddenly.”
“It’s alright, Mr. Woodley.”
He got up. “I should be going now. Keep the ring. It’s a gift since we are family, technically speaking.”
If he’s referring to my ties back in Jamesdon, then yeah. Leanna got up. “Thank you for the visit, but I
can do without the gift. How much did this cost? I’ll pay you?”
Joseph said, “Well, if you say so, then this ring is a gift for Charlotte. Keep it for her until her wedding,
will you?”
