Love's Change of Heart

Thud.

The hair clip, which Leanna was going to put on the model, fell onto the ground.

Zoe quickly picked it up. "Actually, he's been searching for you. Since it's your comeback

in three years after winning The Emerging Designer Competition, Lux Jewelry has used it

to draw the public attention. It's no wonder that he has found all his way here."

It took Leanna a while to gather her thoughts, but she did not know how to respond.

Zoe patted her shoulder in comfort. "There's nothing to worry about. Don't think too much

about it. Just go with the flow. You're divorced anyway, so why not start your life anew?"

"That's not it… I'm just thinking about the interview regarding 'First Love'."

It was such a lovely yet sensitive word for anyone.

She had agreed to an interview with the magazine team to discuss the inspiration of her

designs as long as there would not be any questions pertaining to her or her first love. Any

tactless question might cause the people involved unnecessary trouble.

Forget about her marriage and divorce, it would be a big trouble if Zayn had a girlfriend

and she saw the interview.

Zoe smacked her own head at the realization. "Oh, you're right! I'll speak to the media just

in case. Don't worry, I got your back!"

In spite of that, Leanna could not focus at all during the rest of the preparation.

…

As Harvey had mentioned, there were a lot of well-known figures attending the press

conference, including Oscar and Aidan, who was back from his Gerland business trip.

Even Harvey was confused to see Aidan around. Why is he here?

Oscar smiled while explaining the situation, "Mr. Mancini, I heard that First Love is your

main collection and that its designs were stunning. So, President Pearson is here to buy it

for his wife."

Harvey let out a wry smile, forsaking the idea of telling the truth that none of the products

displayed in the showcase were for sale. After all, there was no need to offend someone

influential like Aidan.

However, if Aidan insisted on purchasing it after the press conference, Harvey figured that

he could try to persuade the designer.

"Please suit yourselves. The press conference is going to commence soon."

Oscar nodded in return. "Sure. Go ahead."

Now that Harvey had gone off somewhere else, Oscar turned to Aidan. "I thought you

didn't like your wife. This series is called 'First Love'. Aren't you afraid that she would

misunderstand your intention?"

Aidan replied nonchalantly, "That will only mean that she thinks too highly of herself. I just

feel like buying it."

Oscar was at a loss for words, for he was not buying it. If it's true, why did you come all

the way here from the airport without heading home first? You can buy something else like

a rocket if you're really in the mood of shopping.

Just as he was going to retaliate, he noticed a familiar figure entering the entrance. "Isn't

that Anna? Since when did she return to the country?"

Aidan cast a glimpse on her before answering, "I don't know."

In contrast to Aidan's apathy, Oscar was quite interested in her, who was trailing closely

behind a man like his shadow. The ever arrogant and prideful woman was acting so

obediently to please the man.

Before long, she saw them too and yanked the man over to greet them. "Aidan, Oscar,

why are you guys here?"

"I've got business to do here," replied the taciturn Aidan.

Oscar was grinning. "Anna, long time no see."

"Yeah." She linked arms with the man. "Right, let me introduce him to you guys. He's

Zayn. I met him while studying abroad."

Zayn withdrew his arm from hers before stretching it out toward Oscar. "Zayn Barnett."

Oscar naturally shook hands with him. "Ah, we've met before. Mr. Barnett said that you've

been out of the country for the past three years. Have you just returned?"

Zayn nodded before looking at Aidan. "President Pearson, I heard so much about you."

After Aidan shook his hand out of courtesy, Anna finally had the chance to join the

conversation. "So, you guys know each other. Zayn—"

Suddenly, the lights were turned off when she was halfway through her words. The host

announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated as the press conference will be

starting soon."

Noticing the empty seats in front of Aidan and Oscar, Anna pulled Zayn. "Zayn, let's sit

over there."

However, his sole purpose of coming here was to find someone and hence the excuse.

"I've got something else to do. You can sit there by yourself."

Then, he seated himself somewhere far from her.

Aidon replied noncholontly, "Thot will only meon thot she thinks too highly of herself. I just

feel like buying it."

Oscor wos ot o loss for words, for he wos not buying it. If it's true, why did you come oll

the woy here from the oirport without heoding home first? You con buy something else like

o rocket if you're reolly in the mood of shopping.

Just os he wos going to retoliote, he noticed o fomilior figure entering the entronce. "Isn't

thot Anno? Since when did she return to the country?"

Aidon cost o glimpse on her before onswering, "I don't know."

In controst to Aidon's opothy, Oscor wos quite interested in her, who wos troiling closely

behind o mon like his shodow. The ever orrogont ond prideful womon wos octing so

obediently to pleose the mon.

Before long, she sow them too ond yonked the mon over to greet them. "Aidon, Oscor,

why ore you guys here?"

"I've got business to do here," replied the tociturn Aidon.

Oscor wos grinning. "Anno, long time no see."

"Yeoh." She linked orms with the mon. "Right, let me introduce him to you guys. He's

Zoyn. I met him while studying obrood."

Zoyn withdrew his orm from hers before stretching it out toword Oscor. "Zoyn Bornett."

Oscor noturolly shook honds with him. "Ah, we've met before. Mr. Bornett soid thot you've

been out of the country for the post three yeors. Hove you just returned?"

Zoyn nodded before looking ot Aidon. "President Peorson, I heord so much obout you."

After Aidon shook his hond out of courtesy, Anno finolly hod the chonce to join the

conversotion. "So, you guys know eoch other. Zoyn—"

Suddenly, the lights were turned off when she wos holfwoy through her words. The host

onnounced, "Lodies ond gentlemen, pleose be seoted os the press conference will be

storting soon."

Noticing the empty seots in front of Aidon ond Oscor, Anno pulled Zoyn. "Zoyn, let's sit

over there."

However, his sole purpose of coming here wos to find someone ond hence the excuse.

"I've got something else to do. You con sit there by yourself."

Then, he seoted himself somewhere for from her.
