Chapter 29 Our President Values Miss McKinney Can he not help Lux Jewelry at this troublesome time in the name of love? Aidan looked concernedly at Leanna. “Where are you feeling unwell? I’ll call the doctor.” However, she only replied strugglingly. “Haha, I was just pretending to be sick.” Aidan, Zoe and Harvey were all speechless. Not planning on letting her off the hook just like that, Aidan grabbed her by her wrist and forcefully led her into the resting room beside. A shocked Harvey gasped, “What is going on?”

 

Zoe’s smile stiffened up. “Uhm, it’s just… lover’s quarrels.” Inside the resting room, Leanna swung her hand off his. “Don’t worry, President Pearson. The money I owe you will be repaid by me when the show ends. I won’t try to escape either.” Therefore, he didn’t have to come backstage during the interim just to remind me of this! Why didn’t I realize how pushy he is before? We’ve already agreed on a month, but he really needs to get another hobby aside from reminding me day and night. “I’m not…” Aidan stopped and looked at her with raised eyebrows. “Where did you get the money from?” “It’s not from robbing, stealing or cheating anyone.

This won’t affect me repaying you the debt.” Ignoring the latter half of her sentence, he questioned, “Who told you to walk the runway?” “There was an accident and one of the models went to the hospital. So, in the heat of the moment, I could only stand in for her.” “What does it have to do with you? You’re just a designer.” The smirking Leanna mocked, “You’re right. I am just a designer who’s unlike you, the great President Pearson who doesn’t care about anything or anyone.” Aidan replied after a few seconds, “Looks like you were faking your sickness.

After a few minutes, the door opened and Zayn rushed in. “Leanna!” Before she could utter a word, she went into unconsciousness. … As two hours remained until the end of the show, Aidan had run out of patience,

 

or international platform, she would have the chance to show off her designs on stage. Also, if there’s anything she needs, she would have the full support of our company.” Harvey was fairly confused at all this. Summarizing everything, Jonathan concluded, “In other words, our president values Miss McKinney a lot.” “I’m not catching your drift… Isn’t Mia the person your president wants to nurture?” Even though Leanna was dragged away by Aidan not long before, this small interlude did not obstruct the solid foundation that Mia had with Aidan.
