Chapter 219 Is She a Celebrity? Leanna was dragged out of bed by Zoe first thing in the morning onSaturday before Zoe forced her to dress up. Leanna sat in front of the window as she squinted from thestrong sunlight. Zoe let out a sigh. “What a beautiful day! It’s a good day to go on a date. I’d have to packand leave soon.” Hearing this, Leanna let out a yawn. “Where are you off to at such an hour in themorning?” “Isn’t it winter holidays now? I’m going to a nearby university to see if any innocent young menmight need help with their luggage. It’d be my lucky day if I met any.

It’s a rare opportunity for me.” Leanna really did not know what to do with Zoe. Once Leanna was donepacking up, Elijah’s call came through. After sending Leanna down, Zoe headed back upstairs and wasabout to make up for her lack of sleep when she bumped into Daniel returning from his morning run whileshe waited for the elevator. The two simply greeted each other and fell silent. As the elevator slowlyascended, the increasingly awkward atmosphere made things worse in the small space. Suddenly,Daniel let out a cough and thought of a topic to start a conversation. “I heard from Elijah that MissMcKinney is going to Constellation Tech’s annual meeting?” Zoe merely nodded when she heard this. “Ijust sent her off downstairs.” Then, in the next moment, the two ran out of things to talk about. Once theelevator door opened on Zoe’s floor, she quickly stepped out. Just as she was about to open the door toher house, Daniel’s voice was heard from behind. “I’m sorry about last time. If you’re free, can I invite youto dinner tonight?” After a few seconds of silence, she raised the corner of her mouth and turned herhead as she put on a calm front.

“It’s not quite… right if it’s just the two of us.” “Miss McKinney’s brother will join us as well.” This sentenceimmediately made her choke on her saliva. ” If that’s the case, I’ll see you tonight then.” “I’ll see youtonight.” He nodded slightly before the two parted ways. … In the car, Elijah noticed that Leanna wasstaring out the window in a daze with a blank look. It was as if she hadn’t woken up. He smiled and said,“You can take a nap. We’re still two hours away. I’ll wake you up when we’re there.” His voice interruptedher train of thought as she patted her face to try and wake herself up a little. “It’s okay. I’m not very

sleepy. I’ll just sit.” She and Elijah were the only two in the car. She would be embarrassed if she was theonly one sleeping while he had to drive so far. “Then, let us chat. How about that?” he suggested.Leanna let out a yawn and answered, “Okay.” After thinking for a while, he started the conversation.“Leanna, I’ve never heard you mention your family. Are you okay talking about them?”

This was the last thing that she had expected him to bring up. So, she paused for a moment beforesaying, “There’s nothing to not be okay about. It’s just me and my brother in my family. And you also metmy brother the other day.” “Actually, I met him quite a while ago.” “Really? When?” Elijah responded,“Back then, he would occasionally come to school to look for you. I saw him from a distance. That time,you were always accompanied by another person.” Leanna smiled lightly when she heard this andglanced out the window again. “I see. In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed.” Two hours later,the car finally stopped at the resort. The employees of Constellation Tech all took the same bus, so theyhad yet to arrive. After Elijah parked the car, he asked, “Leanna, do you want to go back to the hotel torest or take a walk around?” “Let’s go take a walk.

The air here is clean,” Leanna answered. The air on the outskirts was indeed much better than in the city.There were no sounds of cars, only the rustles of leaves from the gentle wind. There was also anartificial lake nearby. Under the sunlight were ripples of little waves on the water. With scenery like this,anyone here would easily feel at peace. Yet, for some reason, Leanna was a little taken aback,especially when she saw the boat docked on the shore. Her mind was suddenly pulled back to that timein Underwood Lane. It was also sunny and breezy as the boat swayed on the water. She leaned on theman’s shoulder, a little sleepy. The world seemed to be at peace. Only the murmur of water could beheard. On top of that, the sound of her increasing heartbeat was heard. Elijah followed her line of sightand asked, “Do you want to go there?” Immediately, Leanna regained her composure. “No, let’s go see

somewhere else.” As soon as they turned around, they noticed a group of people on the bridge not faraway, walking in their direction. When she noticed the man in front of the ground, she was stunned.Then, she subconsciously turned her head to look back at the boat parked by the shore. She thoughtthat it was just an illusion. What a d*mn coincidence! Soon, the group of people got closer to them.However, she wasn’t sure if Aidan did not see them or whether he was deliberately ignoring them as hestrode past with the group of people without even casting them a glance.

Leanna was still stunned long after he left. She would never have thought that the man who was still onher mind a second ago would just abruptly appear in front of her. Suddenly, she felt an inexplicablesense of guilt. “Leanna,” Elijah called out softly. This quickly brought Leanna back to reality. “I’m sorry. I—” “It’s okay. Let’s go back.” She nodded lightly. “Okay.” When they returned to the hotel, the employeesof Constellation Tech had already arrived, and they were gathered together in a conversation. After theynoticed Elijah bringing Leanna over, everyone immediately stopped talking and watched them from adistance. Once the assistant reported the itinerary to Elijah, he looked down at his watch before saying,“Everyone, you can place your things in the room first and gather here in half an hour for lunch.” “Okay,”the group of people echoed. After Elijah took the room card from the assistant, he went to the car andtook out Leanna’s things. Once the two left, the employees who had been stealing glances at each otherfinally couldn’t hold back and began to discuss. “Is that President Parker’s girlfriend? She’s so beautiful!”“I’ve never heard about his girlfriend before. Let’s not speculate. It might be his sister. I’m still waiting formy chance to dance with President Parker tonight.” “Forget it. That looks like his girlfriend. Who wouldbring their own sister to an occasion like this? Stop lying to yourself.” “Hey, don’t you think that PresidentParker’s girlfriend looks kind of familiar? I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before.” “She does look alittle familiar. Is she a celebrity?” “Enough with your guesses. I know who she is.” In an instant, the groupof people who had gathered around to discuss turned to look at the person who spoke. “She’s a designerfor Lux Jewelry. She’s the one that won first place in the design competition back then. What is her nameagain?” Someone in the crowd asked, “Something along the lines of McKinney?” “Oh, right! It is her!”“But…Wasn’t there a rumor some time ago about how she is a mistress?”
