Chapter 204 A Fair Chance The journey to the bathroom was torture for Leanna. She regretted excusing herself.

Just when shewas agonizing over her choice, someone suddenly held her wrist and took her into a corner before she could do anything.

Leanna was then met with an icy stare, and she took a step back instinctively.

"I thought you had to use the bathroom, President Pearson." Aidan looked at her.

"You never believed what I say anyway.

Shouldn't this come as a no surprise?" he asked coolly. Don't change the subject, you arse.

She averted her gaze.

"I need to use the bathroom, President Pearson, so..." He put his hand beside her, blocking her way out.

"It hasn't been that long since I left." Why does he sound so miffed? A frown knitted her brows.

"What do you mean, President Pearson? Do I have to ask for your permission to have dinner with a friend?"

"You don't onlysee him as your friend." "That's still none of your business." Aidan stared into her eyes and enunciated, "You said you liked

me.

Of course it’s my business."

"I never said that.

You're making it up!"

"Doesn't matter who said it.

What matters is what you're doing." Leanna refused to talk to him.

This *sshole can twist everything to fit his agenda. Aidan wasn't planning on letting her go, however.

Instead, he narrowed the space around her and growled quietly, "Did you miss me?" Are you sick in the head?

She answered seriously, "PresidentPearson, behave yourself.

We're in someone else's home." A few moments later, Aidan said, "I've missed you." The sudden 'confession' caught Leanna by surprise,

and she froze.

What is up with him and the conversation enders? I can't even fight with him if he keepssaying stupidsh*t. Elijah's voice rang in the corridor.

"Leanna?"

Leanna snapped out of it.

She looked all around her, feeling nervous. Aidan put his hands in his pockets, and a smile curled hislips.

Elijah appeared, but before he could ask, Aidan lied calmly, "She got lost, so I came forher." Elijahknew that was a lie, but he didn't expose it.

"The bathroom's dead ahead.

I'll take you guys there." After he turned around, Leanna stomped on Aidan's foot, and the surpriseattack made him grunt.

Elijah heard it.

He turned around and was surprised to see Aidan frowning.

"Are you alright, President Pearson?"

Leanna smiled at him.

"He's probably unwell.

It'll be fine.

Let's go."

Elijah nodded.

Before he left, he said, "President Pearson, you can always ask the servants if you don't know thewayto the bathroom." He took Leanna and left. Aidan's veins popped, and he saw them off with a glare. Awhile later, Elijah turned around and stopped in his tracks. Leanna noticed it, and she stopped as well.

"What is it?" "I've been meaning to tell you something, Leanna." He pursed his lips. Leanna said, "Metoo."

"Me first, then." Elijah was worried he might be unable toconfess if he let her speak her mind beforehim. Leanna nodded slowly. Elijah said, "You've probably noticed how I feel, but I just couldn't replace theright time to tell you." He laughed.

"Maybe it's because I'm afraid of rejection." "Elijah..." "Let me finish, Leanna," Elijah said.

"I've had a crush on you for years, but you were dating Zayn at that time andyou looked so happy.

I didn't want to ruin your happiness, but now that I have a chance, I don’t want to let it slip."

A moment of silence later, she said,"I'm sorry." "No need to apologize, Leanna.

I'm confessing not because I want your answer right away.

I just want you to know how I feel about you.

I know President Pearson is also wooing you, and all I want is a chance to compete." Leanna smiled.

"He's not wooing me.

That's just his way of being clingy." "I can see that he still likes you." Leanna said nothing.

Elijah said, "Well, that’s a weight off myshoulders.

Now, what were you going to say?" Leanna organized her words before she answered, 'Tm happy thatyou like me, but—"

Before she could refuse his confession,he said, "I told you I'm in no hurry for an answer.

It doesn't matter even if you don't feel the same way about me now.

The future is always uncertain.

You might change your mind someday, and I'll work on that." He continued, "Give me a chance,Leanna.

You deserve it."

Leanna slowly raised her head.

She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.... Aidan was already seated when they came back.

He peered at them and remarked coolly, "Did you get lost too, Mr.

Parker?"

Elijah smiled.

"It's hard to walk in the dark.

You don't seem too good, Mr.

Parker.

Do you need any painkillers?" "You seem to know Mr.

Jackson really well.

Do you come here a lot?" Elijah answered, "Not exactly, but I've known him for a long time.

At least longer than you do, Mr.

Parker." He was also talking about something else. Aidan's face fell, and his lips curled downward as a hint of anger welled up in his eyes.

Leanna was miffed that the gentlemenwere fighting the moment they saw each other. Mr.

Jackson was confused.

He whispered to William, "Are they fighting over who knew me first?" William smiled and poured some tea into Mr.

Jackson's cup.

He changed the subject, "I heard you opened up a studio, Miss McKinney.Do I have the honor of visiting it?”

Leanna nodded.

"The honor is mine." William said, "How does tomorrow afternoon sound?" "Sounds good.

You're always welcome, Mr.Morris." Aidan opened his mouth and said, ‘Tm free tomorrow afternoon, so I'll go with you, Mr.Morris."

What is this dumb*ss thinking? Leanna thought.

William smiled.

"It's a pleasure to have you, President Pearson." Elijah wanted to say something, but someone shot him a look.

He clenched his fists and swallowed his words.
