"I don't think it's necessary," Aleigha said with a faint smile. She raised her brows and looked behind the man.
Adrian stood behind the man, his tall body overshadowing the shabbily dressed man.
The man looked back, and his legs instantly went numb as he knelt on the ground.
Adrian's deep eyes flashed with a cold light, giving the man goosebumps all over.
"Take him away."
Adrian couldn't be bothered to waste any more time on this kind of person so he simply gave his men the order.
"I'll be needing him shortly, you can keep him under your watch for the time being. Thanks."
"And this is the report, you can take a look."
Aleigha took out the report from her bag. Before she could hand it over, she was pulled into Adrian's embrace.
"You'd be lying in a small box in a morgue by now if this f*cker had a little more guts!" "Aleigha, don't make me worry, okay?" Aleigha was stunned, and the warmth in her heart spread all over her body in an instant.
She could not help but smile. "I'm fine. And I know how to protect myself, alright? Don't worry."
"How could I not worry?"
Aleigha's nose twitched all of a sudden. Was Adrian worried about losing her?
"I'm fine, aren't I?" Aleigha comforted him in a gentle voice.
Adrian didn't say anything and could only hug her even tighter.
When the two of them returned to the company, Adrian did not check on the report immediately. Instead, he took a nap with Aleigha in his arms.
Waking up feeling hungry, the two of them went to a restaurant nearby.
Not only after that did they go back to the company to work on the report.
Aleigha shallow was very attentive with her work but the marketing and sales methods were what Adrian would do in her previous life.
Naturally, Adrian was very satisfied after taking a look at it.
Aleigha felt a little guilty, but she had to get over it. She needed to strengthen herself too much.
In the evening, Aleigha was taken to the villa by Adrian and slept peacefully for the whole night. However, during the whole night.
Aleigha also made it clear that she only wanted Adrian to watch over that person for her, not interrogate him.
Adrian was woken up by a call from his elders in the family and was scolded, which was a result of Lainey's ridiculously brazen call to the Xiao family.
The canceling of the engagement was doomed to happen now that Adrian was so fed up with it.
When Aleigha went downstairs, she saw Adrian was angrily bellowing at his phone before he smashed the phone on the ground.
'Aleigha, did I scare you?" Adrian calmed down and looked at Aleigha, who had been standing at the corner of the stairs for quite some time.
Aleigha shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile, "I'm used to it."
Adrian's anger immediately disappeared when he heard these simple words.
"Come on, grab something to eat. I'm gonna have a meeting soon at the company."
Aleigha was very obedient. She allowed him to pull her to the dinner table and hold her on his lap.
Anyway, struggling was useless, so it was better to let him do as he wanted.
After breakfast, Adrian left and sent the driver to take Aleigha to the nearest street to the school.
Aleigha did not return to school. Instead, she went to Lennon.
Adrian could help her with anything, but Adrian didn't know she was a Gardner, whereas Lennon did and also could help her with everything she asked for.
Lennon was not surprised by her arrival. In his eyes, Aleigha was such a girl.
Unless there was a problem that could not be solved, she would never come to trouble Lennon.
"Lennon, I feel like I'm quite the loser for coming to you again and again." Sitting opposite Lennon's desk, Aleigha said with an apologetic look on her face.
Lennon chuckled and looked at Aleigha with a soft gaze. "It's my pleasure to be on your service."
