I'm Sorry My Love 181
Chapter 181 He’d Skin Me Alive Leanna only woke up the next afternoon.
Zoe, who was startled, gasped when shesaw how haggard Leanna was.
"What happened to you, Nana?!" The latter then let out a yawn before she mumbled, "It is nothing.
I designed some drafts last night.
I only went to sleep at 7AM." "Why are you pushing yourself so hard? There is still time, isn't there?"
"I couldn't sleep anyway.” Leanna sat on the couch and stared blanklyahead. She felt so irritable last night that
she only slowly calmed down to draw a draft after 2.00AM.
She didn't even notice the clock ticking away. After Zoe peeled an orange for her, she looked at the
bigcardboard boxes still piled up in the house.
"Have you thought about how you are going to deal with this?" she asked.
Leanna's gaze went in thedirection Zoe was looking at.
She lowered her head for a moment before she said, "I will just donate the clothes and give out the
accessories."
"How about you donate them tome?" Zoe asked, her eyes earnestly peering at her friend.
Leanna didn't say anything at first, but she eventually smiled and offered, "Go ahead and take them." "Forget
it!" Zoe pouted.
"Aidan will skin me alive if he knew." She was just joking, anyway.
Leanna gave it a thought before she looked at the boxes again.
In all honesty, those clothes wereall as obnoxious as they were impractical that it didn't seem to make sense to
donate them. She finally stood up after she thought it over.
"Zoe, I will go get changed.
We are going out in a bit." "Where are we going?" "All the clothes still have their price tags on.
I am sure they will still be worth a lot even if we sold them to a boutiqueat discounted prices." "You're
right!" Zoe's eyes instantly glinted when she heard that.
"How did I not think of that?!" When Leanna went to change her clothes, Zoe had quickly sorted out the
different brands of clothing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe duo then went to their firstluxury store.
However, the saleswoman that welcomed them was obviously stunned when she saw them holding a
cardboard box full of clothes.
"Ma'am, may I know the purpose of your visit?" Leanna proceeded to give her a smile, and
respectfullytold her why she was here. "Please give me a moment while I get the store manager," the
saleswoman said. "Alright.
Thank you for your help." After the saleswoman left, Zoe started strolling around looking at the clothes
in the store.
She flipped the price tags over and glanced at them, then quickly flipped them back before she
carefully brushed off the part she laidher hand on. The clothes that Aidan sent over had tags that didn't
show their prices. Although Zoe knew that they were definitely not cheap, she didn't think they would
be that expensive. Even a mere thin camisole was priced higher than her lens. After she noticed this,
she quickly huddled over to Leanna and whispered, "Nana, this box of clothes is worth hundreds of
thousands.
Don't forget there are a few other boxes of clothes from different brands in our car...And those
jewelry.Why does that b*stard still wants you to return the money after the divorce when he is so
generous?" "I did borrow money from him, after all.
There is even an IOU." "Anyway, he is an enigma to me sometimes.
We can never guess what he is thinking." Leanna only smiled without saying anything in return. Right
at this moment, thesaleswoman from earlier came back to them with the store manager beside her.
The manager then inquired, "We understand the purpose for your visit, ma'am.
I would like to reconfirm with you that you don't want any of the clothes in this box, yes?" Leanna
nodded in reply.
"Understood.
Please hold on for the time being.
We will need some time to sort out the clothes in the box and give you an estimated price." "Sorry for
the trouble."
"Please don't worry about it.
You may have a seat here."
"It's alright," Leanna said.
"We will be walking around nearby.
Well be back soon." "If that is the case, please leave us your contact number.
We will notify you when we are done." After leaving the luxury store, Leanna and Zoe went downstairs
to have something to eat.
Zoe started chattering while they ate.
"Hey, Nana, what do you think I should have with Daniel tonight? I have been thinking about it all night.
We can do Western cuisine, but I don't know which country he is from.
What if I accidentally chose something he doesn't like? Or we could go for Chinese food, but I am
worried that he doesn't eat spicy food.
Oh my God, why is this such a chore to choose?"
"Just ask Elijah.
I am sure he would know," Leanna replied. "Right! How did I not think of that?!" Zoe cheered while she
quickly took out her phone.
However, she suddenly calmed down before she sent the message over.
In a small voice, she probed, "Nana, about you and Elijah... What do you think about your
relationship?"
Leanna promptly froze when she heard that.
She didn't have an answer to the question. Even though Zoe had always said that Elijah liked her,
Leanna, too, always thought that sucha coincidence was impossible. However, she could obviously tell
what Elijah felt for her after what he said yesterday. With Aidan there and her having been provoked,
Leanna didn't give it much thought and had swiftly agreed to Elijah's request. When she saw Leanna
turn silent, Zoe added, "Nana, I really do think that Elijah is a great guy.
He has liked you ever since we were students.
You can probably imagine how deeply he feels for you to have liked you for so many years." "And howdo you
know that?" Leanna asked. Zoe swiftly looked away and coughed awkwardly.
"I... was only guessing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt's not like it is that hard to guess." Leanna's phone began to ring right after Zoe said that.
It was a call from the luxury store, informing her that they were already done withthe clothes. After hanging up
the phone, Leanna told Zoe that they had to make a move now. With that, Zoe could finally heave a sigh of
relief. But what they didn't expect was for them to bump into Georgina when they went back to the store.
Georgina, together with Carly, must not have thought they would see familiar faces here as they also looked
startled. Carly looked especially surprised at their encounter.
She was still hung up over that one time Aidan had gravely warned her.
Now that she coincidentally came across Leanna, her first instinct was to avoid meeting the other woman's
eyes andpretend she didn't know Leanna.
She then went to take care of the child in the stroller beside her.
Georgina was the first one to greetthem with a smile.
"I haven't seen you in quite some time, Miss McKinney." Leanna nodded in return as she offered a brisk
greeting.
Georgina then said again, "Youlook so much better than the last time I saw you two months ago.
It seems like you have been living well." Zoe was the one who spoke up this time.
"Of course she would be in a better mood without having to see certain two-faced people hanging around and
about"
As they talked, the store manager approached them andinformed them, "Miss McKinney, allow me to lead the
way." Leanna only nodded to Georgina before she left.
Zoe, who never liked Georgina, naturally wouldn't stand there and have a staring contest with her.
Without missing a beat, she walked alongside Leanna to where the manager brought them. Even though the
prices of the clothes they brought over would have depreciated, the pricecalculated by the luxury store for
them was much higher than what Zoe had expected. Shell-shocked, she exclaimed, "They are worth so
much?" The store manager began to explain, "There are many pieces of clothing here that are either limited
edition, customized, or out-of- season.
Many of our VIP customers are waiting for these clothes.
I have contacted them, and we will be getting their replies soon.
Also, Miss McKinney, since your clothes have never been worn before, we have calculated them according to
the original price."
Leanna gaveher thanks when she heard that. "You are welcome," the manager smiled.
