The Lion, the Witch, and the Audacity of This B*tch The lady froze. “But I don’t know where the pantryis.” Aidan stopped in his tracks and looked at the guest. She was a woman he had never seen before.He frowned. “Who are you?” Queenie was a little anxious. Her hands were clenched tightly, and hercheeks were pink. “I’m Queenie, a designer working for Lux Jewelry. I want to thank you for—” Aidanwas getting a little upset at that point. “You’re here alone?” “Yes.” Queenie bit her lip.

She had no idea how to break the ice, but then she remembered his order, and it sounded like a greatway to get closer to him. She asked, “You wanted a cup of coffee, right? I can make one right—” “No.”He sat down and crossed his legs before he asked coldly, “What do you want?” She closed the doorand approached him. The mere sight of him was already making her blush. “I’m Queenie Wojzicki.

Do you remember me, sir?” “No,” he answered coldly. Aidan’s patience had run out. She bit her lip andexplained, “I was the champion of The Emerging Designer Competition three years ago. Your companysponsored my studies in Aeras. I just came home a while ago. Now, I’m working as Lux Jewelry’s topdesigner. I’m here to thank you, sir. If it weren’t for you—” Aidan interrupted her icily, “Shouldn’t thechampion be Leanna?” Queenie was surprised that he knew who Leanna was, but she hid her shockimmediately. “Yes. I was the runner-up, but you disqualified her. You said she was just an opportunistwho only saw the competition as a way to make money. I took her place.” Aidan didn’t say anything fora while. He then asked, “Are you done thanking me?” Queenie didn’t respond. “Excuse me?”

“If you’re done thanking me, you can go.” She was not surprised that he would chase her away. Sheknew the kind of person he was long before she came. “I’d love to have lunch with you, PresidentPearson. Do you have some time to spare?” In a look that could only be described as icy, Aidan liftedhis eyes and said, “Are all of Lux Jewelry’s designers that free these days?” Queenie believed he feltshe had failed the Pearson Group, which had sponsored her studies abroad, because she came outduring working hours: “I… I just started working at Lux Jewelry, and now all of the projects areoverseen by another designer; I also took a day off today—” Aidan stood up. “That’s none of mybusiness.” Queenie had expected a refusal, so she was not surprised. “I’ll be leaving then.

You are welcome to contact me whenever you have the time.” Before leaving, she mustered thecourage to place her business card on the coffee table. She left the office, whereupon Aidan rang thepersonal assistant office. “Where’s Jonathan?” he asked coldly. “He’s gone out, sir.” Aidan said coldly,“Next time, if the designer of Lux Jewelry comes back, tell her to leave immediately and don’t botherme.” Those who should be coming aren’t even doing so whereas those who should not be here are noteven polite. The assistant replied nervously, “Yes, sir.” Aidan looked at his documents in frustration andhe called Oscar thereafter. “What has Zayn been up to lately?”

“He appears to be taking over the Barnett Group’s business.” Oscar continued, “I’ve heard that OldMaster Pearson spoke with the Barnetts again in private, and Saturday’s birthday banquet shouldconfirm this.” Aidan was not surprised, and his tone lightened slightly. “The old man’s been up tosomething lately.” “However, I believe Zayn does not wish to take over the company. Should I approachhim and offer him a helping hand?” “Mind your own business. And tell Anna all about his itinerary.”Oscar was speechless.

Is he crazy? … Leanna called Zoe on her way back, but she could not get through. Worried, she toldthe driver to turn around, and she texted Louis. As soon as Leanna got off the elevator, she heardAnthony say, “Zoe, can you give me another chance? I promise to break up with her…” “There’snothing else to say between us. Weren’t you happy when you first cheated? What chance do you wantwith me now?” “What can I do? I’ve been abroad for a year and you’re not with me, but don’t worry,Zoe; I no longer have affection for her as I only like you.” Zoe was angry at him and laughed: “You don’twant to be alone and can’t control the lower half of your body, but is it my fault in the end? Get lost rightnow; I don’t want to see you again!” “I only cheated once, so what about Leanna?

She has been a covert mistress for another man for three years. Now that Zayn is back, she turned herhead and hooked him, and I didn’t say anything to Zayn for your sake. “Anthony, do you truly believethat you are something? Is Zayn aware of who you are without Leanna’s words? Also, they have amarriage certificate; do you believe everyone is as vain as you?” “If she was already married, why didshe never bring this up? I’m doing this for your own good, Zoe. Don’t be deceived by Leanna as she’sonly interested in replaceing a putative father for the illegitimate child in her womb…” As Anthony’s wordsbecame more offensive, Zoe was unable to take it any longer and gave him a hard smack while yelling,“Get out of here!”

When Anthony dashed out, he ran into Leanna. He halted, but was unashamed that he had talkedbadly of others and been caught by them as he only scoffed and hurried away. Zoe tossed hisbelongings away, but noticed Leanna standing there. “You hear everything, Nana… He is just trying toreplace someone to blame, so don’t take it to heart.” Leanna knew that he blamed her for causing Zoe tobreak-up with him, which was why he had criticized her. “Is there anything I can help you with?” shesaid, smiling. Zoe shook her head. “It’s all packed up, and it looks like he doesn’t plan to take it.”

The elevator door reopened at this point, showing Louis’ figure. As soon as he received Leanna’s textmessage, he sought a replacement for his shift and rushed over. He looked at the pile of stuff by thedoor and asked, “Are you all right?” Zoe said, “It’s okay, Louis. You just made it in time to help me takethe trash down to the trash can. The garbage should stay where it belongs. Let’s eat once we’vemoved it!” He looked at the situation and realized that something must have happened. Since theydidn’t want to talk about it, he didn’t ask anything either and just did his job in silence.
