His Domineering Lover

Lennon was unhappy with Adrian's provocation. "Mr. Xiao, what are you doing? Aren't you a bit ungentlemanly?"

"Mr. Landry, it's a thing. You don't understand."

"I don't remember her saying you were her boyfriend." Lennon retorted.

The two men's eyes meet, making the atmosphere a little weird.

Aleigha covered her forehead. She shouldn't have been here.

Aubrie, who had been ignored, interrupted this.

"Adrian!"

Adrian continued to look at Aleigha, as if he didn't hear Aubrie.

"Lennon, I'm sorry." Aleigha felt helpless.

"It's okay." Lennon didn't want to put Aleigha in a difficult position. He knew how domineering Adrian was.

Lennon didn't want his conflict with Adrian to worsen family relations, nor did he want to disturb the peace of the upper classes.

The way Lennon and Aleigha looked at each other really pissed Adrian off. He said coldly, "Babe, looks like the steak here is not to your taste. Let's go to another place." Aleigha wanted to put an end to this embarrassment, so she had to listen to him.

"Lennon, I'm sorry. I..."

"It doesn't matter." Lennon was very understanding, and Aleigha felt guiltier.

With a reluctant expression on her face, she left with Adrian. Once she got the contract, she'd say good-bye to this man!

"Get in the car." She was unhappy, and neither was he.

Aleigha tried to dissipate the tension in the air.

"Well, are you angry?"

Adrian kept silent and focused on driving, but he grew angrier.

He drove to the hot pot restaurant. If it weren't for her, he would never have come to such a place.

He ordered everything she ordered last time, which took her by surprise. He had such a good memory?

"When will your project be announced?"

Adrian frowned slightly. "There's been a little hiccup, and I'm afraid you're gonna have to wait."

"What? What's the hiccup? Can you tell me?" Based on what happened last life, his product shouldn't have been delayed. What was going on?

Adrian sighed. His face became unusually gaunt. "It's Darien."

Darien? That explained everything.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I don't think that's gonna bother you, is it?"

"No." Adrian's face was full of confidence. He didn't think there was anything he couldn't do.

As Aleigha took the initiative to feed him, he felt less angry.

Coming out of the hot pot restaurant, Adrian left in a hurry after getting a phone call. Aleigha went to her company because she had no class in the afternoon.

It was starting to take shape. Lennon must have put a lot of work into it.

Suddenly, she saw Darien and several guys rushing into the office building behind her.

On a whim, she followed them.

Darien didn't recognize her and went upstairs with the others.

Only then did Aleigha know that the Landry family and Darien were working together.

She had come to this company with Lennon before, so the receptionist didn't stop her.

Aleigha walked around under the pretext of using the bathroom Finally, she saw Darien at the door of the conference room.

No one else was around, so she quietly walked over.

There were quite a few people inside, but she didn't know anyone except Darien and a few of the Landrys.

Their voices were low, and she seemed to hear Adrian's name.

It was Landry family's company, sa she was afraid to listen in here too long. It was enough for her to know the relationship between Darien and the Landry family.

After that, she went to Adrian's company.

She wanted him to know this.

However, she was stopped downstairs. No matter what she said, the receptionist wouldn't let her see Adrian.

She tried to call Adrian, but no one answered the phone.

The receptionist told her that Adrian was having a very important meeting and refused to see anyone.

Aleigha was really anxious, but she could only sit on the sofa in the hall and wait.

After a long time, she called Adrian again, but the result was still the same.

Even the security guard felt sorry for

her. He came up to her and said, "Girl, just go home. There's a million

girls here for Mr. Xiao every day, and they never see him."

Aleigha was confused. What did he mean?

"Mr. Xiao is not gonna be interested in you. Miss Fulton is having a meeting with him. Don't you know how pretty she is?"

Miss Fulton?

"Aubrie Fulton?" Aleigha felt a bit upset as she looked at the security guard.

"Yeah. You'd be ashamed to see her. Stop wasting your time. Mr. Xiao is out of your league."

Why would Aubrie be in a meeting with Adrian?

Aleigha got up with mixed feelings. She found herself ridiculous.

The Gardner family was not her backer, and she could only rely on herself. She thought she had made a deal with Adrian, but what was Aubrie doing here?

In the last life, Aubrie wasn't part of the project. What the hell was going on?

Seeing her sitting there absent-

minded, the security guard thought she was immersed in sorrow. He tried to comfort her. "Girl, it's okay. There are tons of fish in the sea."

"Thank you."

Aleigha put on an embarrassed smile, but she still had no intention of leaving.

She didn't care why Aubrie got involved. She only cared about getting the project. Her revenge wouldn't work if she lost it.

Although she would get half of the shares of the Gardner family when she was 20, there could be variables.

She was willing to sacrifice anything for her plan.

At 9:00 in the evening, the meeting was over. It was only then that Adrian saw the messages and missed calls.

He raced down the hall without hesitation.

Looking at the girl who was sleeping on the sofa, he quietly walked over and squatted beside her.

Aleigha didn't put on any makeup. She looked gentle and soft, like a sleeping little angel.

She slept like a lamb and woke like a tiger.

Adrian couldn't help but smile. Not wanting to wake her, he bent down to pick her up.

Aleigha opened her eyes and saw the smile on the corner of Adrian's mouth. Did such a pure smile really belong to Adrian?

She blinked, wondering if she was dreaming.

Then, she thought of why she came here. She grabbed his arm with a very anxious look on her face.

"Adrian, I have something very important to tell you."

"Are you hungry?" His sudden question stunned her.
