I'm Sorry My Love Novel

inevitably some consequences to the company. Not to mention, the show was extremely important to

Lux Jewelry and this was evident from how hard each and every single staff member had worked to

make this show a success during the entire process. If this show was ruined, then everyone’s efforts

would have gone down the drain. As such, she nodded in agreement.

“I’ll try my best.” Leanna glanced at the pair of stilettos after having her makeup applied backstage and

she felt a wave of nausea hit her. She grabbed a glass of water and took a few sips to suppress the

nauseousness as she tried to regulate her breathing. It seemed that her little one was expressing his

protest. Ever since she had found out about her pregnancy and was told by the doctor to be careful,

she had not worn heels since then. She usually avoided the kids in the area when she went for a walk

around her housing estate and walked along flat-wide surfaces. At that moment, one of the staff rushed

through the doors. “Everyone’s waiting for the last model! Are you ready?”

Under everyone’s gaze, Leanna put on the pair of stilettos and answered, “I’m ready.” Regardless of

the outcome, she knew that she had to brave herself and face the music. She placed a hand on her

baby bump and silently breathed out. Little one, let’s do this together! Meanwhile, Mia had just

completed the first round and she was heading backstage for a change of clothes when she brushed

past Leanna who was about to go onstage. Mia was significantly pleased with her performance and

she felt that Pearson Group was intentionally trying to give her an award for being the best performer

tonight; since no one else could object to it anyway and her performance had surpassed her usual.

However, as soon as she saw Leanna, she instantly had her guards up. After all, Leanna’s seductive

looks were flawless and now that she was all dressed up, she looked…

“Why is she going onstage?!” Mia remained frozen in her original spot and trembled with anger as her

voice turned shriller by the minute. The staff standing by the side then whispered, “It seems that there

has been an issue with one of the models.” “What a perfect excuse. It must be that b*tch who wants to

show off.” Mia clenched her teeth as she looked into the direction that Leanna walked off. I’ll be the star

of tonight’s show and Aidan’s mine too! I won’t let Leanna get her way! … At the fashion show, Aidan

pressed in between his brows and lowered his eyes to glance at his watch. He wanted to find out how

long it would take for the show to end. He was looking forward to seeing Leanna’s expression upon

realizing that she was tonight’s star candidate for the show. He wondered whether she would be joyful

or surprised by that. Or perhaps… At that moment, his mind wandered further and suddenly, he felt

slight dryness in his throat as his eyes darkened significantly. After all, Leanna used to jump into his

arms and wrapped her arms around his waist coyly during a moment of joy. Come to think about it, it

was quite enjoyable actually.

As such, his mind wandered off further and further away from the fashion show when suddenly, a loud

commotion erupted in the originally quiet scene of the show. He lifted his eyes and looked intently

toward the T-shaped stage. Leanna was dressed in a black maxi dress and she stood three meters

apart from where he was seated. The lights glimmered brightly onstage and the sequins that adorned

the back of her dress looked like glittering stars in the galaxy. Although she was generally known to be

a beauty, each time she left the house, including during the press conference to introduce the ‘First

Love’ series, she hardly ever dressed up or put on makeup properly. Right now, she was adorned in an

elegant dress and looked exquisitely beautiful with makeup while accessorized by her jewelry; each of

these enhanced her beauty. The black maxi dress was very fashionable and her beauty shone through

with aggression. She seemed to be the most attractive one onstage.

Leanna was originally anxious onstage and she tried to regulate her breathing several times. Suddenly,

her eyes met a deep calm gaze and after a slight pause, she subconsciously clenched her fist tightly. I

must not ruin the show for the sake of that two million! I can’t let the despicable couple watch me make

a fool of myself! She took a deep breath and forcefully shifted her eyes. Meanwhile, Aidan pursed his

lips and took a sip from the bottle of water he had just opened before asking, “Was she glancing

furtively at me earlier?” Daphne replied, “Somehow, I think she was glaring at you, though.” “If your

eyes aren’t working well, then perhaps it would be much better to give it up to someone else who

needs it better.” She stopped speaking at that point. After Leanna left the stage, everyone at the show

erupted into discussions among themselves and they asked around about the identity of the woman.

Some claimed that she was a model while others claimed that she was a celebrity; there were even

some who claimed her to be their future wife. However, the staff of Lux Jewelry proudly claimed,

“That’s our contracted designer.”

Amongst the bustling crowd, Aidan got up silently and headed backstage. After getting off the stage,

Leanna could barely feel her legs. Fortunately, Zoe was there to support her just in time. “Nana, are

you alright?” Her hands and feet were icy cold. “I-I’m fine.” Zoe reckoned that Leanna did not seem

fine; there were two more rounds later on and clearly, she would not be able to handle it. She had just

removed her shoes when a wave of nausea hit her all of a sudden. Without managing to change out of

her clothes, she rushed to the toilet and threw up. Zoe grabbed a mug from the table and filled it with

some warm water before rushing over in a haste. After Leanna finished vomiting, she finally felt much

better as she weakly leaned against the wall. “Nana, have some warm water.” She felt much better

after drinking the water as she had just emptied her stomach’s content.

At that moment, Harvey walked over in a rush. “I’ve arranged for someone to find another model. It

would take them at least twenty minutes to get here and she would need at least half an hour to get

make-up done…” As such, Leanna had to complete another round. He glanced at her deathly pale face

and frowned. “McK, are you unwell?” “I’m fine. I can still go on.” She shook her head. At that point,

Harvey was met with no other way, so he mentioned, “Hold on for a bit more. I’ll get them to hurry up.”

Leanna did not even get the chance to answer him when suddenly, a cold male voice rang out from

behind, “Hold on what?” At that moment, Harvey turned around and saw Aidan’s figure. The editor then

pressed in between his brows and explained, “President Pearson, we’ve encountered some slight issue

here, but we’re sorting it out right now.”
