Love's Change of Heart

Leanna huffed in amusement. "Sometimes I wonder just what on Earth is going on in that head of

yours. I told him that I was busy tonight and asked him not to come over."

"In my opinion, President Pearson is not somebody who will listen—"

Sure enough, the words had barely left Daphne's mouth when Aidan's figure appeared at the door.

Then, he butted into the conversation and asked dispassionately, "Not what?"

She immediately entered her business mode and replied seriously, "Of course, President Pearson is

not… somebody who will play around with a woman's feelings. If he said he would come and pick you

up, he would surely come and pick you up."

Both Leanna and Aidan said nothing in response.

Daphne tentatively probed the situation. "Uh… Look, why don't I just leave for today? So I won't intrude

upon your date."

Just as she was about to sneak away, Aidan spoke up without warning. "Stop right there."

She immediately froze on the spot.

Then, she turned around, glanced at Leanna, and lowered his voice. "Something came up at the

company, so I have to head there now. I might not be able to return tonight, so don't wait for me."

Leanna replied, "Okay."

I hope he never comes back. But, thanks to his passionate embrace recently, my body is about to

break into pieces.

As though he could read her mind, he reached forward, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulled

her into his embrace. His lips were just about to touch hers when she noticed that Daphne was secretly

watching them. She reflexively pushed him away without even thinking about it and cleared her throat.

"Okay, okay. I got it."

Look at the way this b*stard talks… You'd think that place is his home.

"I'll be taking my leave then. Send me a message when you arrive home."

"Yeah, yeah. I got it." She agreed to his request without much thought, simply hoping that he would

leave as quickly as possible.

After Aidan departed, Daphne finally breathed a sigh of relief. But, at the same time, she couldn't help

feeling a little excited. It was her first time seeing such a gentle side in him.

It seems like the rumors flying around within the Pearson Group about President Pearson speaking in a

gentle and doting tone while on the phone with his girlfriend during meetings are not fake. I even have

proof! Hah!

During dinner, Leanna asked, "What have you been doing recently?"

Daphne took a sip of tea. "I've been filming."

Leanna paused for a moment before saying, "Is it the same one as before?"

"That's right. It's the one that's being filmed near your brother's school. We're already halfway through,

but I'm about to die from exhaustion every day. It's rare for us to finish work so early." After she ranted

for a bit, she paused for a moment before she continued, "Sigh. Your brother's acting skills are not too

shabby. Won't he consider becoming an artist in the future? He shouldn't waste his good looks."

She needed clarification and definitely needed help understanding those words. "What do you mean by

acting skills?"

A puzzled Daphne explained, "Isn't that movie being filmed near their school? Sometimes we will shoot

certain scenes inside the school, so we require several students to play various cameo roles. The

producer contacted the school regarding the matter, and your brother was the first candidate

recommended by the school. Thanks to his good looks, the director increased the number of scenes

from only a few scenes to a whopping thirty scenes. We're not done shooting those scenes even now."

When she heard Daphne's words, Leanna didn't even know where to begin.

Daphne asked, "Didn't he tell you?"

The corners of Leanna's mouth twitched. "Nope."

"It's okay. This is not something important anyway. He is only in his freshman year, so this experience

is good for him. In any case, when the director told me about this matter, based on his personality, I

thought he would never agree to the proposal. I can't believe he actually agreed. Following the

broadcast of this drama, he will surely gain many fans. That's why the producer asked me whether he

was interested in joining the entertainment industry. Many companies are eager to sign a contract with

him."

So, that's what has been keeping Louis busy recently.

Leanna opened her mouth, but it took some time for her to reply. "I don't know either. He will have to

decide for himself."

Daphne nodded. "I'll take the time to ask him in the next two days."

Leanna suddenly seemed to realize something important when she heard those words. So, she

tentatively inquired, "Do you and Louis meet each other often recently?"

Daphne said, "Yeah. Aside from his cameo roles, he also comes to the set from time to time whenever

he's free. So, we basically meet each other every single day."

Leanna lifted a hand and touched her eyebrows. An idea was beginning to brew inside her mind.

Daphne took another sip of her drink and remarked, "There are many young ladies among the crew

who like him. I would have fancied him if I were younger by a few years."

Leanna coughed, but she couldn't stop herself from asking. "Do you… not like him now?"

Hearing that question made Daphne choke on her drink. After a while, she finally calmed down and

said, "Now? I'm already twenty-six. Your brother is only eighteen, right? How can I fall in love with

somebody his age? That's embarrassing!"

Leanna couldn't help herself as she corrected Daphne, "Nineteen." Then, she increased his age a little

more. "Almost twenty." After a short pause, she continued, "Besides, dating puppy-like guys seems to

be the trend nowadays."

Daphne thought for a moment and laughed. "Your brother is probably a wolfhound, though."

Their conversation soon shifted to other topics. It was evident that Daphne did not think much about

this topic. She figured that Leanna was just joking around.
