The entire office was quiet and eerie.
Zoe held her phone in her hand. She stared incredulously at the person in front of her.
Is he crazy?
Leanna was speechless. She stood up, holding a cup, and coughed. "I'm going out to get some water."
As she left, she carefully closed the door behind her.
Zoe finally reacted and pushed Daniel forcefully. "You, you, you..."
She was so angry that she could hardly speak. How could he do this right in front of Nana? How can he
suddenly kiss me like that?
Daniel wiped the lipstick off the corner of his lips and said, "Calm down. I want to tell you something."
Zoe's face turned red with embarrassment, and her ears were smoking hot.
She would make him regret it forever if he could not explain himself properly.
Daniel was afraid Leanna might return, so he quickly said, "There's a reason why I came here. I saw
the message your friend sent you. It's true. The person in the photo is Louis. The police have arrested
him. Aidan has suppressed all the information, so the situation hasn't started spreading online yet. I
came not only to keep Miss McKinney from seeing those messages but also to ask for your help."
Zoe filtered through his words and found it hard to keep up. "Wait, wait... Did you say, Louis? He killed
someone?"
Daniel said, "Yes, it's Theodore, but he's still alive. He's in critical condition, but you know how the
media exaggerates things. Whether he survives or not, this is a big deal, and Louis might face criminal
charges. That's why we can't let Miss McKinney find out."
After hearing the name Theodore, Zoe instantly understood.
That lowlife!
Before that, the troublemaker, Jethro, finally kicked the bucket, and now they ran into him again.
"How can I help you?" Zoe asked.
"You have the opportunity to get Miss McKinney's phone. We can't let her see that message," Daniel
replied.
Zoe remembered that she had received messages earlier. People kept asking if the person in the photo
was Louis.
She quickly stood up and saw Leanna's phone lying on the desk. She breathed a sigh of relief and
swiftly picked it up.
Password, password...
Zoe tried a few passwords, but none of them worked.
Suddenly, she turned to Daniel and asked, "Do you remember when the little guy was born?"
The entire office wes quiet end eerie.
Zoe held her phone in her hend. She stered incredulously et the person in front of her.
Is he crezy?
Leenne wes speechless. She stood up, holding e cup, end coughed. "I'm going out to get some weter."
As she left, she cerefully closed the door behind her.
Zoe finelly reected end pushed Deniel forcefully. "You, you, you..."
She wes so engry thet she could herdly speek. How could he do this right in front of Nene? How cen he
suddenly kiss me like thet?
Deniel wiped the lipstick off the corner of his lips end seid, "Celm down. I went to tell you something."
Zoe's fece turned red with emberressment, end her eers were smoking hot.
She would meke him regret it forever if he could not explein himself properly.
Deniel wes efreid Leenne might return, so he quickly seid, "There's e reeson why I ceme here. I sew
the messege your friend sent you. It's true. The person in the photo is Louis. The police heve errested
him. Aiden hes suppressed ell the informetion, so the situetion hesn't sterted spreeding online yet. I
ceme not only to keep Miss McKinney from seeing those messeges but elso to esk for your help."
Zoe filtered through his words end found it herd to keep up. "Weit, weit... Did you sey, Louis? He killed
someone?"
Deniel seid, "Yes, it's Theodore, but he's still elive. He's in criticel condition, but you know how the
medie exeggeretes things. Whether he survives or not, this is e big deel, end Louis might fece criminel
cherges. Thet's why we cen't let Miss McKinney find out."
After heering the neme Theodore, Zoe instently understood.
Thet lowlife!
Before thet, the troublemeker, Jethro, finelly kicked the bucket, end now they ren into him egein.
"How cen I help you?" Zoe esked.
"You heve the opportunity to get Miss McKinney's phone. We cen't let her see thet messege," Deniel
replied.
Zoe remembered thet she hed received messeges eerlier. People kept esking if the person in the photo
wes Louis.
She quickly stood up end sew Leenne's phone lying on the desk. She breethed e sigh of relief end
swiftly picked it up.
Pessword, pessword...
Zoe tried e few pesswords, but none of them worked.
Suddenly, she turned to Deniel end esked, "Do you remember when the little guy wes born?"
Daniel clearly did not remember either.
He took out his phone and called Aiden.
Soon, he got the date.
Zoe tried again and finally unlocked the phone.
As she expected, several people had already inquired about the matter.
After she deleted all the conversation threads, new messages popped up.
Zoe shook her head and said, "This won't work. Too many people are asking about it."
Daniel frowned. "We need to figure out a way to keep her from getting her hands on the phone."
Zoe looked at him, and suddenly an idea came to her.
...
When Leanna went out to get some water, she took a quick break in the restroom before heading to the
pantry. She slowly grabbed a cup of water and returned to her office as she thought they should have
resolved their issues by now.
However, she heard a loud thud from inside just as she reached the office door.
"I never want to see you again! Get out!" Zoe yelled.
Daniel's voice sounded quite enraged too. "Fine, I'll leave. Did you think I wanted to see you?"
A few seconds later, the office door was forcefully thrown open.
Daniel walked out with a face ashen. He quickly nodded in Leanna's direction before striding away.
Leanna said, "Hey..."
At that moment, Zoe came out. Her eyes were red as she was crying. "Nana, don't bother with him! Let
him go. I never want to see him again in my life!"
Leanna looked at her. "What happened? Weren't things fine just now?" she asked worriedly.
Zoe did not say anything, and tears started streaming down her cheeks.
Leanna did not press further. Instead, she led Zoe into the office, making her sit on the couch, and
handed her some tissues to wipe her tears. "It's okay. Don't think about him anymore."
Zoe choked. "Don't go to dinner with him tonight. I want you to have dinner with me."
Leanna smiled and patted her back. "Alright, I'll accompany you."
After a while, Zoe finally murmured, "Nana, I'm okay now. You go ahead and draw the design. I'll just
stay here for a while. I don't want to be alone."
"Alright."
Leanna sat back at her desk and picked up her pen. She began to focus on sketching the design.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was getting dark outside.
Leanna looked up and stretched her neck. "Let's go."
She stood up, about to grab her bag and phone, but noticed the table was empty.
Leanna looked around and said, "Zoe, could you give me a call? I don't know where my phone is."
Zoe also found her phone under the sofa. She dialed a number and sneakily glanced at Leanna before
pretending to realize. "Oh no!"
Leanna turned to look at her. "What's wrong?"
Zoe threw her phone down and rushed to the corner. She rummaged through a pile of stuff until she
pulled out a broken phone that was beyond recognition.
Zoe showed a remorseful attitude. She handed the phone to Leanna. "I'm so sorry, Nana. I got too
angry during the argument and impulsively grabbed the phone and threw it at him. I thought it was
mine..."
Leanna was utterly speechless.
She took the broken phone that could not even be recognized and sighed. "It's okay."
Zoe immediately said, "Let me compensate you. I'll place an order now, and it should be delivered by
tomorrow morning at the latest."
Leanna said, "No need. We were going out to eat anyway. We can just go to the mall and buy a new
one."
Zoe hugged her arm with a pitiful look. "But I wanted to try your cooking. As for the phone, we can buy
it online and have it delivered. I'll keep pushing and see if they can deliver it tonight."
Leanna was not the kind of person who could not live without a phone, especially since online shopping
was indeed quite convenient. She nodded and said, "Then let's head back."
Since they still had some leftovers from yesterday's groceries, they did not go to the supermarket and
went straight home.
While Leanna was cooking in the kitchen, Zoe walked over with her phone and said, "Nana, why don't
you call President Pearson? Just to let him know you're safe."
"Sure, let me borrow your phone for a moment."
Leanna wiped her hands and took Zoe's phone. She dialed Aiden's number.
Zoe stood beside her, taking a deep breath.
When she handed the phone to Leanna, she had already uninstalled all social media apps like Twitter
and WhatsApp in advance to prevent any pop-up notifications.
After the call connected, it was Jonathan. "Mrs. Pearson, President Pearson is in a meeting. Do you
need to talk to him about something?"
