Chapter 117 Fooled by A Façade

• Meanwhile, in the president's office, Aidan was seated on his chair. He tapped his slender fingers on his phone screen and raised his brows slightly. I guess that woman has a conscience, after all. At least she bothered to ask if I'd had dinner. He gazed at the time and rechecked his phone. He stared at the set of numbers on his screen, and massaged his temples with two fingers for a while before he decided to dial the number. At that very moment, someone knocked on the door.
• He quickly threw his phone aside before picking up his documents and a pen. "Come in," he uttered as his expression turned stern. The door was pushed open, and Mia's voice filled the room a few moments later. "President Pearson…" she muttered. He glanced in her direction before lowering his pen and glaring at her with a hostile look on his face. "What are you doing here?" he asked flatly.
• Mia explained the reason she was there before she continued. "Everything that happened in the past was my fault, President Pearson. I promise I won't make the same mistake. If you could just give me one chance, I swear… I'll make good use of it."
