Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 975 Extra Story 113 Of Aaron A New Start

After finishing what she wanted to say, Ximena snorted slightly and hung up the phone in an apathetic manner.

Hearing the beep on the phone, which indicated that the phone had been hung up by the other end, Zoey blushed in fury. It was not until now that she remembered that the reason why she had made the call to Ximena was to ask her to design a dress for her rather than arguing whether she was her brother's only woman or not.

Because of the fight between her and Ximena as well as the so-called Mrs. Long at the party of the Leng's Corporations last time, an investment project of her father's had been cancelled. As a result, she had been scolded by her father severely and had been warned by Aaron extensively. Thinking of that, she felt so uncomfortable that she screamed at the top of her lungs, sat on the sofa and pouted. As far as she could remember, it seemed that her elder brother had changed greatly since the banquet at the council hall. Then, since Aaron had met her father later, her father had also seemed weird. In silence, she wondered what had happened. Could that have something to do with Ximena's biological parents?

With these thoughts in her mind, Zoey could not help but shudder all of a sudden. She looked around, making sure that Aaron was not anywhere near here. Although he was absent, she could feel his presence and she started to get chills. Out of curiosity, she had once employed a private detective to investigate Ximena's parents. However, Aaron had quickly known about it and had given her a piece of his mind. Despite being scared, she was really impressed by his cruelty at that time. Before that, her brother had warned her a few times but he had never really punished her. However, at that time...

As what he had said and done came to her mind, Zoey couldn't help but touch her cheek with her hand, as if it hurt again.

Her shoulders dropped, and she sighed deeply. When she thought of what had happened at the party, she became even more depressed. The so-called Mrs. Long had thrown a cake at her, but her elder brother had required her to apologize to Mrs. Long! Shouldn't he have stood by his younger sister? Thinking of that, Zoey felt so sad that she already had tears in her eyes. As she thought more about it, she became more unwilling to let it go. Finally, she took her cellphone again and dialed Aaron's number. Aaron's cellphone vibrated on his desk. After he took a glance at its screen, annoyance flashed across his eyes. Rolling his eyes, he rejected the phone call. Then, he glanced back at the monitor and said, "Go on."

"It is anticipated that the commercial building we've invested in in M Country would be completed one month earlier than scheduled..."

"An agreement on the development program in cooperation with Dragon Empire Group has been signed..."

On the monitor, senior executives at various branches of the Leng's Corporations were reporting their work progress one by one. The video conference didn't come to an end until it was nearly noon. Aaron massaged the space between his eyebrows to relax and rest for a few minutes. Then he checked the time, stood up and went to the restroom to change his clothes.

Suddenly, his cellphone rang again. While walking towards the door, he picked up the phone. "I'm very busy right now. If you have something to say, call me later," Aaron said, intending to hang up.

"Oh... dear brother, wait a minute..." Zoey shouted hastily in fear that her brother would hang up the phone right away.

"You have one minute, then," Aaron said, his voice cold and emotionless.

"How can I finish in only one minute..." Zoey complained.

"50 seconds now," Aaron said, his volume rising.

Pouting, Zoey said, "I want..." Gritting her teeth silently, she continued, "I want my sister-in-law to design a dress for me to wear for a banquet!" 'It is better to lose face in front of my brother than to lose face at the banquet later," she thought. She was determined to take the opportunity of the coming banquet to regain the dignity that she had lost at the party last time in order to disprove others people's impressions that she wasn't favored by her influential elder brother.

Hearing what Zoey had said, Aaron could not help but stop in his tracks. His deep set eyes colored with surprise, he asked "What did you say just now?"

"I, I..." Zoey gritted her teeth again. "I want my sister-in-law to design a dress for me to wear for the banquet... Ximena, my sister-in-law!" She emphasized.

Hearing her confirmation, Aaron could not help but smile faintly. His smile was as bright as the sun in the blue sky outside, which made people feel warm to their cores. "Is that all? Okay, I'd tell her," he replied plainly without showing any emotion. "But Zoey," he continued, his voice dangerous, "I wouldn't do anything else for you." As soon as he finished saying that, he hung up the phone. His smile widened a bit, and his usually serious eyes had a sparkle in them. He then took a step out of the office and went straight to the elevator. Sitting on her chair, Aaron's secretary was stunned. It was the first time she had ever seen Aaron smile ever since she had worked for him as his secretary. In all honesty, she had never thought a person like Aaron would be capable of smiling. Truly, it was a shocking scene to behold so shocking that the secretary thought of taking a picture of it in secret. But then, she decided not to. After all, she didn't want to get fired. As Aaron entered the elevator, his secretary couldn't help but sigh.

"A handsome man always smiles warmly..." Looking into the distance, she continued, "Oh, how lucky Miss Mo truly is! His Highness is spoiling her so much."

After a few minutes, Aaron reached the underground parking lot. He walked directly to his car, opened its door, got in and started it, leaving the building. The car passed through bustling commercial streets and finally stopped in front of a high end French restaurant. The manager of the restaurant personally came out to open Aaron's door for him and greeted him in the brightest manner. "Mr. Leng!" he said, beaming widely. After giving a hint to the parking attendant to drive the car away, he guided Aaron towards the restaurant. "Everything is ready as you ordered," he said respectfully.

Aaron nodded slightly to the manager. With one of his hands in his trouser pocket, he strode into the restaurant. Inside the restaurant, soft piano music was playing, and the light fragrance of roses permeated the air. It was lunch time, but there was no guest eating. At the center of the restaurant, there was a long table covered with pink tablecloth. On it was a vase with three colors of roses and a sealed bottle of wine. It seemed that a romantic candlelight dinner was going to take place, only that it was at noon. 0000000
