It Would Only Backfire if He Insisted After hanging up, Leanna let out a deep breath and returned to the living room. Zoe asked, “What happened? What did that b*stard say?” Leanna curled up cozily on the couch and said wearily, “He asked me to go somewhere with him this weekend.” “But you…” “That’s why I rejected him.” Zoe pondered for a moment before she leaned over and asked, “Sweetie, don’t you think that Aidan is acting a little bit strange lately?” Leanna scoffed at her question. “He’s not only strange. He’s practically torturing me even more than usual.” “Do you think he’s really torturing you?” Leanna felt exhausted, and even her voice sounded tired. “What else could it be?”

Zoe summarized, “Don’t you think that his recent actions are almost like an elementary schooler who doesn’t know how to show his affection and always uses silly ways to get the attention of the girl that he likes?” Leanna turned speechless. After a long silence, she reached up and touched Zoe’s forehead with a hand, touching her own with the other. She said with a frown, “You don’t have a fever, do you?” “Hey.” Zoe pushed her hand away. “I’m being serious. Besides, didn’t that b*stard admit that he likes you before? I think that there’s a high chance I could be right.” Leanna settled into the couch again and said indifferently, “To someone like him, like is just an adjective that doesn’t have any significant meaning.” Zoe sighed, agreeing with her. After that, Zoe went out to throw the trash. Five minutes later, she rushed back inside with an excited expression. “Nana! Nana!” Leanna asked, “What happened?” “Do you remember that mixed-race hottie we met in the elevator? I saw him again just now. Guess what, he’s the neighbor who just moved in next to us!

He’s moved in for a few days already, so we should go over and say hello.” Saying that, Zoe ran into the bathroom. “No, no, I have to go and wash my hair and do my makeup so that I won’t scare him

away.” Seeing that, Leanna smiled. “There’s a cake I bought in the fridge. You can give it to him.” “Love you!” Because of Aidan’s phone call, Leanna wasn’t in the mood to work on her drafts anymore. She changed her clothes instead, deciding to go for a jog. Before she left, she asked, “Zoe, I’m going out. Do you need anything?” “Get me some supper. I didn’t eat enough at dinner.” “All right.” After hearing the sound of the door closing, Zoe glanced at the time and saw that it was half past nine, so she hurriedly finished washing her hair. If she went over too late, she would be disturbing his rest. After blow drying her hair, she quickly put on a neat makeup look and put on her best dress, then took out the cake from the refrigerator and knocked on the door next to theirs. It took almost two minutes before the door was opened.

Zoe wore a polite smile and said, “Hello, nice to meet you. I’m…” The man glanced at the cake in her hands before reaching out to pull the door shut. “I don’t want to buy anything.” Zoe hurriedly stopped him from closing the door. She kept the smile on her face as she explained, “Sir, I’m your neighbor. I noticed that you just moved in, so I came to say hello.” Hearing that, he let go of the door handle. “Sorry.” She smoothed her dress, trying to maintain a good image in front of him. “It’s fine. This cake is for you.” “No, thank you. I’m not a big fan of desserts.” “All right.” Zoe took back the cake sheepishly. Then, she said, “By the way, I am Zoe. I live in the next door with my friend. May I know how do I address you?” He replied nonchalantly, “Daniel.” “Then… I guess I’ll go back now. Since we’re all neighbors, if you need any help, just let me know. After all, a good neighbor is better than a brother far away.” Daniel smiled at her slightly, then closed the door. Zoe stood outside the door. She looked at the cake that had not been given out, could not help but to twitch her mouth. Half an hour later, when Leanna came back with barbecue, she saw Zoe sitting on the couch and sullenly eating the cake. Leanna changed her shoes and walked over, asking, “He wasn’t at home?”

“He was.” Zoe sighed broodily. “At first, he thought I was going to sell him something and nearly shut the door in my face. Then, I told him that we’re neighbors and that he could let me know if he needs anything. He just faked a smile at me before he immediately closed the door.” After that, she placed the cake down and said in a way as if she had been motivated, “No, I can’t just back down like this. Most hot guys have a bad temper, right? I have to use my kindness to win his heart. Isn’t that always how it goes in the movies? As long as I’m kind enough, he will definitely like me back.” Leanna turned speechless. She placed the food in front of Zoe and said, “Don’t have to wait for me, you can eat first. I’ll go and take a shower.” … At Pearson Group, Aidan was holding his phone, his brows were deeply furrowed. After a while, he lifted his head and said coldly, “Please go and find out what Elijah is doing this weekend.” “Yes, sir.” Ten minutes later, Jonathan knocked on his office door and reported, “President Pearson, we found out that President Parker isn’t working on Saturday. As for his personal plans, we still don’t know anything about it yet…

” Aidan pursed his lips as he leaned back on his chair with a cold expression. “Leanna is going on a date with him.” Jonathan asked, “President Pearson, how can you be so sure?” “Instinct.” Jonathan was at a loss for words. Sometimes, a man’s instinct can be very unreasonable. Aidan got up and ordered, “Go and find out what personal plans Elijah has on this weekend.” “All right,” after a pause, Jonathan asked, “Do I still have to send the clothes from Castor Villa to Mrs. Pearson?” “Forget it.” It would only backfire if he insisted. … On Saturday, after receiving Elijah’s call, Leanna said to Zoe, “Let’s go. He’s here.” Zoe turned around before she frowned. “Are you going to wear that?” Leanna looked down at her clothes. It was what she usually wore. “Yeah, what’s wrong with it?” “No way, today we’re…” Suddenly, an idea flashed into Zoe’s mind. So, she hurriedly changed the subject. “We’re going to a concert, so how can you dress so casually?

It’s disrespectful toward the musicians.” Leanna couldn’t find the words to reply. Zoe pushed Leanna into the room and took out all the dresses that she bought with Leanna the other day. She picked a slim-fitting wool dress that could show off Leanna’s curves, along with a brown coat. “Do your makeup after you change into this.” “I’ve already done my makeup.” “There is no way that you’re going to the concert with that light make up. Please redo it properly. Try be more respectful of the event.” Leanna tried to refuse, “Elijah is already here. We can’t make him wait for too long.” “What’s wrong with that? Pretty girls are always fashionably late. I believe that he’ll be more than happy to wait for you.” “……” Leanna became speechless at her words.
