In the afternoon, Aleigha just finished a meeting. Isaias and Emilee came to her company.
Leona was sitting on the sofa and reading a magazine when the secretary brought them in.
Leona didn't know Isaias and Emilee, but Emilee's pretty face and temperament caught her eyes.
"Are you guys..." Aleigha pointed at them with a meaningful look.
Emilee smiled gracefully and glanced at Isaias. "My brother thinks he's great.
"I'm a big girl and it's time for me to fall in love. I came here to get your opinion."
"Well, I knew he had a crush on you the first time he met you. At that time, the Hammond family was falling apart.
"And it gave him the opportunity to pursue you. Emilee, you might want to think twice."
"Hey, Aleigha, what do you mean? Wasn't it part of your plan that I met Emilee?" Isaias retorted.
He didn't think it was a coincidence that he met Emilee. If this was planned, Aleigha was the one behind it.
"You knew I set you up, and you went along with
it?"
Isaias was speechless and silently sat down on the sofa.
"Hello, I'm Leona, Aleigha's friend."
As soon as Leona spoke, Emilee and Isaias looked at her at the same time.
"Yes, my friend," Aleigha said perfunctorily with a smile.
"Aleigha, how come you never told me you had other friends?"
Looking at Isaias and Emilee, Leona's eyes were full of doubts.
"I don't need to tell you anything, do I?"
Leona was stunned, and her face suddenly sank.
"Aleigha, I thought you would tell me that."
"Why? Why should Aleigha tell you everything?
Who are you?" Emilee asked directly.
There was a hint of a smile on her soft face.
"You!" Leona was so angry that she threw the magazine on the ground.
"Lady, since you're Aleigha's friend, you should know that even friends have boundaries.
"She doesn't have to tell you what she does. We didn't know you were her friend, either.
"But we don't mind it. If you get angry because of this, I think you're not a good friend."
Isaias was straightforward. He had been gentle and quiet because Lauren had a bad temper.
Now that he was in love with Emilee, he went back to his old self.
Therefore, he didn't want to be very polite to Leona. Most importantly, this woman glared at his Emilee.
"Aleigha, and you just watch them yell at me?" Leona became angry from embarrassment.
She picked up the cup on the table and threw it on the ground.
There was something about her temper that didn't make sense.
"Leona, are you being cranky? Let me ask you something.
"Why did you make friends with me?
"For Adrian? For money?
"Or for status?
"What do you want from me? I don't think Lennon would keep a woman with no background.
"You're getting close to me for a reason. Or is there more to your plain face than meets the eye."
Leona looked at Aleigha with disbelief, as if she didn't know what Aleigha was talking about.
