Chapter 341 Abnormal Attitude

Leah returned to the studio soaked and found Serena asleep on the couch with a strong stench ofalcohol on her breath.

Immediately, she hurried over to check whether the latter’s clothes were intact. When she found noindication of Serena having been violated, her expression turned all the more perplexed.

What exactly is Anna’s motive in having Donald approach us? If she really wanted to ruin me, tonightwas a golden opportunity. Why is she going to such great lengths by asking him to put on this show?

Questions lingered in her mind. After taking a shower, she planned to return to Wisteria Court to look inon Carlotta.

Just as she was about to leave, she felt worried about leaving Serena there in slumber.

After a brief contemplation, she decided to stay overnight at Dream Designs to keep the lattercompany.

She moved Serena to the bed with great effort. Then, she thoughtfully took the latter’s jacket and shoesoff before wiping her down. After doing all that, she gently draped a blanket over her.

When Leah was done, it was already three o’clock in the morning. Having been deprived of rest forseveral days, she lay down on the couch in the room and slept.

The next morning, Serena woke up at the crack of dawn, her head throbbing painfully from her

hangover.

She dragged her heavy body out of bed before belatedly recalling the events that transpired last night.The instant she remembered that Donald’s lecherous smile was the last thing she saw before passingout, she frantically checked herself all over.

It was not until she had ascertained that nothing had happened to her that she breathed a sigh of relief.

She swept her eyes around her present surroundings, only to replace that she was back at the studio.Shocked to the core, she rushed over to the couch where Leah was still asleep and started shaking herforcefully.

“Sarah! Wake up! What on earth happened? How did we manage to escape unscathed from thatsc*mbag last night?”

At the moment Serena got drunk last night, she had already braced herself for the worst.

Despite having arranged for someone to wait downstairs to call the police, she still felt that she wouldnot be able to escape Donald’s clutches.

Leah’s sleep was shallow, so she was jolted awake in no time. Shaking her throbbing head, she sighedheavily. “I don’t know what’s going on with Donald either.”

Subsequently, she recounted everything that had happened between her and Donald last night.

After listening to it all, Serena was stunned for a long time before she exclaimed incredulously, “Huh?

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 almostgot defiled by him last night!

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

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 theirrespective 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 onthe 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 youare? 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 andmurmured gently, “Please don’t take that to heart, Ms. White. I came here today to apologize to youboth. I was at fault for the incident last night, so I hope you’ll accept my apology gifts. Also, I’d like tocontinue 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 almostpopped out of her head.

She scrutinized him silently for a long time. When she was certain that it was Donald in the flesh, sheparted 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 merelyturned his proposition down indifferently. “Thanks, but no thanks, Mr. Harper. Please take your thingsback. I don’t need them here. As for the commission, we’ve already canceled it on our side. We’llcompensate 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 toirreparable 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 toforgive me, Ms. White. Everything here is a gift from me, so I won’t be taking them away. Considerthem my apology gifts. Regarding the contract, I’m truly sincere about collaborating this time. Pleasegive 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 astupefied 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 thecalm 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 toteach 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 oncesaved me. I don’t care what lines you usually cross, but do not touch her and her friend! If I were tolearn 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 eyespromptly turned chilly.

Sure enough, his relationship with that woman isn’t simple! It’s downright unbelievable that a piece ofscum 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, avicious gleam glinted in his eyes.

Nonetheless, the fake smile on his face remained intact. “Ah, I’m honored that you’re gracing me withyour presence. What brought a big shot like you here today?”
