"Can you drive me to my school? I might have to ask you to keep an eye on the girl."
Lennon came back from his thoughts and nodded.
On the way back, Aleigha kept silent. As they arrived at her school, she said good-bye and got off the car.
There were too many things that she needed to do. She had a feeling that Adrian would soon know who she was.
Or maybe he had already known. It was too easy for him to run a background check.
As she thought about it, she made a call to Adrian.
Adrian was in a meeting. He usually turned his phone off during meetings. But today was an exception.
He was glad that he didn't turn it off, or he would not have missed a call from Aleigha.
"Are you free tonight? I want to buy you dinner for being mean to you last time." Aleigha forced herself to be politer. After all, Adrian was like a golden goose to her.
A shadow of smile touched Adrian's mouth. "Okay. Text me the time and place."
After hanging up the phone, Aleigha breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was no longer mad at her.
After taking a quick shower, she changed into casual clothes. Her
hair was scraped back from her face in a ponytail. Then, she went out.
Aleigha rarely dressed like this. Although it made her look young, this was not the look for a debutante.
Her family would be laughed at if she didn't go out in nice clothes.
But today, she was too tired to dress up.
When she passed a shopping mall, she suddenly realized that her dress was not suitable for eating in a nice restaurant.
She went to the mall to get something more formal. Coincidentally, she met Emilia. It was not surprising. Emilia was either at home or a mall.
What was surprised was that Aubrie was also here. That was interesting.
From a distance she saw them standing opposite each other. Emilia didn't look happy. Maybe Aubrie was giving her a hard time.
Aleigha walked into a shop and bought a black high-collared tight-fitting dress. When she put it on, it left nothing to the imagination.
Her beauty was beguiling.
Then, she bought a pair of black high heels. Normally, she only wore heels to formal occasions.
She felt a terrible pain when she paid the bill. Why were them so expensive?
Emilia was still with Aubrie. Aleigha wanted to get out of here silently, but Emilia saw her.
Emilia keeping calling out to her.
But she pretended not to hear it and left without looking back.
Aubrie still didn't know that she was from the Gardner family. If she knew, so would Adrian.
In that case, her efforts would have been in vain.
Running out of the mall, Aleigha gasped.
She felt so tired and uncomfortable in these heels.
It was time for her to call Adrian. He was not a patient and waiting person.
After making reservations at a famous Turkish restaurant, she called Adrian.
