Begging For A Reconciliation

He actually claimed that you once saved him and even treated you so well?”

I must still be drunk and dreaming! How could someone like him possibly do such a thing? We almost

got defiled by him last night!

Leah didn’t believe it either. She frowned coldly. “Pay it no mind. Just keep your distance from him

henceforth.”

No matter what Donald’s intentions were, they were lucky to have escaped unscathed last night.

Massaging her temples, Serena lamented wearily, “This must be another ploy by Anna.”

In the end, the studio’s first commission died a premature death.

Sometime later, they had already washed up. They planned to eat something before going back to their

respective homes to rest for a day or two and pull themselves back together.

Unexpectedly, four or five luxury cars came to a stop outside no sooner had breakfast been served on

the table.

Surrounded by a group of bodyguards, Donald stepped into the studio with a bright smile on his face.

At once, Leah’s heart sank. Like Serena, a frown marred her countenance.

“Is something else the matter, Mr. Harper?” Getting to her feet, she blocked Donald’s view of Serena,

her expression icy.

Her attitude infuriated one of the lackeys beside Donald. He snarled furiously, “Who do you think you

are? Mr. Harper—”

“Shut up!” Donald barked before the man had even finished speaking.

After shooting his subordinate a death glare, he turned back to Leah with an amicable smile and

murmured gently, “Please don’t take that to heart, Ms. White. I came here today to apologize to you

both. I was at fault for the incident last night, so I hope you’ll accept my apology gifts. Also, I’d like to

continue signing a contract with you, thus coming to discuss some design matters in detail.”

That was the first time Serena witnessed the man exhibiting such a flattering attitude. Her eyes almost

popped out of her head.

She scrutinized him silently for a long time. When she was certain that it was Donald in the flesh, she

parted her lips in utter shock, but no words came out.

Oh my God, it turns out that Sarah wasn’t lying about him! Hmm, what on earth is he trying to do?

Leah, who had experienced his change in attitude last night, was no longer surprised then. She merely

turned his proposition down indifferently. “Thanks, but no thanks, Mr. Harper. Please take your things

back. I don’t need them here. As for the commission, we’ve already canceled it on our side. We’ll

compensate you with both the deposit and damages.”

I can’t ever get involved with such a person. Otherwise, I’ll relax my guard one day, leading to

irreparable consequences. When the damage has been done, it’ll be too late for regrets.

As Donald clocked their aversion, hurt showed for the first time on his usually devious and sinister face.

He stilled for a while, but he ultimately didn’t linger there. “It’s only natural that you’re unwilling to

forgive me, Ms. White. Everything here is a gift from me, so I won’t be taking them away. Consider

them my apology gifts. Regarding the contract, I’m truly sincere about collaborating this time. Please

give me another chance. I won’t accept the deposit or damages.”

Having said that, he added that he would be back tomorrow before leaving with his entourage.

At the sight of the roomful of things, Leah and Serena were left dazed and at a loss.

“Is he okay? Or is he out of his mind from all the alcohol he consumed last night?” Serena wore a

stupefied expression as she looked at the roomful of high-end furniture Donald brought over.

Leah did not respond to that. She stared at things from Donald with brows knitted together deeply.

Even after he had done all that, she still didn’t believe him.

Instead, his abnormality had a faint sense of panic brew within her. It felt as though all that was the

calm before the storm.

She didn’t use the furniture but hired a moving company to send them back to the man’s company.

That afternoon, Donald’s eyes dimmed when he learned that his gifts had been returned.

Seeing that, the few lackeys by his side could no longer stand it. They were all gripped by the urge to

teach Leah a lesson. “This b*tch is acting all high and mighty when Boss is showing her such respect!

Don’t be mad, Boss. I’ll go and kidnap that woman over for your enjoyment—”

Before he had finished speaking, Donald roared, “Shut up! I’ve already told you last night that she once

saved me. I don’t care what lines you usually cross, but do not touch her and her friend! If I were to

learn that any of you secretly made a move against her, you’d be making an enemy out of me!”

When Han arrived at Donald’s company, he was just in time to hear that final utterance. His eyes

promptly turned chilly.

Sure enough, his relationship with that woman isn’t simple! It’s downright unbelievable that a piece of

scum like him would make such a protective statement.

“Mr. Harper.”

At Han’s cold voice, Donald turned around. The instant he saw that made out the man’s identity, a

vicious gleam glinted in his eyes.

Nonetheless, the fake smile on his face remained intact. “Ah, I’m honored that you’re gracing me with

your presence. What brought a big shot like you here today?”
