Chapter 100

Leah’s eyelids fluttered. Looking at the receptionist’s eager expression, she nodded in agreement. “It’sindeed beautiful.”

“Unfortunately, the designer didn’t want to reveal their identity. Everyone only knows that such a workexists, but no one knows who the designer is. I heard many people talking about it. Too bad, if only ourcompany had such a talented designer.” The young woman chirped.

Leah pursed her lips and nodded silently. The young woman did not take note of it and thought that shewas an introvert. After chatting for a while more, Leah stopped talking.

In the lobby, Leah sat on the sofa, waiting patiently for Christopher. After a short while, the receptionistsuddenly raised her head and exclaimed, “Mr. Xavier is here!”

When Leah raised her head upon hearing her words, she saw the elevator door open. A tall and skinnyman in a white suit came out of the elevator. As soon as he exited the elevator, his eyes scannedaround the lobby and finally focused on Leah.

Christopher walked toward Leah and nodded his head as he shook her hand. “Nice to meet you, Ms.White. I’m Christopher Xavier.”

“Nice to meet you too, I’m Sarah White,” Leah greeted him with a smile.

Christopher then went on to apologize. “I’m sorry, I was delayed for some time because of somethingelse. Can I offer you a drink as an apology?”

Leah paused. She could tell that Christopher wanted to have a private chat with her in the café. Shenodded. “Okay.”

The two then went to a café and found a quiet spot. Christopher ordered two cups of coffee. Aftertaking her seat, Leah took out the design she had already prepared from the bag and placed it in front

of Christopher.

Christopher did not waste any time on the formalities. He picked up the design and scanned it twice.His eyes were instantly filled with joy.

“This design is great! Ms. White, did you really design this by yourself?” Christopher looked at her inadmiration.

The woman in front of him looked like she was only in her early twenties. How could someone soyoung create such a great design?

The design was sketched with a pencil. Yet, in both design and general aspects, it was mysterious andeye-catching.

Leah chuckled at his compliment. After a while, she asked, “So am I good enough to collaborate withyou?”

“The design is perfect,” Christopher said while carefully stashing the design away. “It will be my honorto work with a genius such as you, Ms. White.”

Leah smiled. The two of them had reached an agreement.

“By the way, Ms. White, do you know the reason I delayed today’s appointment?” Christopher blinkedcunningly.

Leah shook her head. “I’m not sure.”

“I got a call this morning from Mr. Crawford from Malarnor,” Christopher sipped his coffee and smiled.As expected, Leah’s expression changed.

Ryan Crawford was a name that was no stranger to the people in the industry. He was a well-knownjewelry investor rumored to only invest in jewelry that suited his tastes, regardless of the designer’sreputation. Many jewelry designers who were new to the jewelry design firm were trying to win hisfavor. If they managed to gain his recognition, their status in the industry would be secure.

Of course, Ryan was very wealthy too. If he had his eyes on a designer, he would spare no expense tohelp them bring their designs to life.

“When I was studying in Malarnor, I gained Mr. Ryan’s recognition and received help from him.However, I was immature at that time that I gave up pursuing jewelry design. I’ve maintained a goodrelationship with Mr. Crawford,” Christopher explained to her with a smile.

Leah nodded, holding the coffee cup in her hands, her palms were slightly sweaty. If only I can also getMr. Crawford’s recognition…

“Mr. Xavier, I…” Leah gathered her courage to ask.

Christopher interrupted her with a smile. “This Saturday, at 10 am, Mr. Ryan will arrive at LinkvilleAirport. I’ll pick you up.”

Upon hearing his words, Leah was surprised. She thanked Christopher.

“You don’t have to thank me. Thank yourself for your capabilities,” Christopher said with a smile. “Afterall, you seized the opportunity yourself.”

Coming out of the café, Christopher and Leah parted ways. Leah walked to the side of the road andwanted to raise her hand to stop a taxi. When she turned around, she noticed that she was oppositeLinkville’s best hospital. When Leah came to her senses, she was already standing in front of it. Shelooked at the people going in and out and sighed.

Forget it, let’s just visit Han for a bit. After all, I stabbed him. I should at least make sure that Han is allright.

Leah walked into the hospital. She ran into Jane, who was also on her way to visit Han.

She followed Jane to the VIP ward on the 15th floor. She waited outside the ward for a while. At noon,Jane finally left.

It was already lunchtime, and there were fewer people in the hospital. Leah reached the door of theward where Han stayed. There was a transparent glass window on the door of the ward, through whichLeah could see Han inside. He was sitting on the hospital bed wearing a blue and white patient’suniform staring blankly at the window. He looked pale and weak.

Leah breathed a sigh of relief. She was relieved to see that he had woken up. She shifted her body anddecided to leave. However, at this time, Han retracted his gaze, turned his head, and looked at Leahfrom the door window. Their gazes met for three seconds.

Leah, after realizing it, subconsciously trembled. She turned her body and wanted to run away.

“Stop right there!”A man’s voice resounded, followed by a series of chaotic footsteps.

Leah, without having the chance to flee, was grabbed her arms from behind by Han.

“Han, let me go,” Leah struggled.

Although there were not many people in the corridor, Han’s presence was too strong that the nursesaround turned around their heads to look at him. Han frowned slightly. Without saying anything, hepulled Leah into his ward. Leah’s strength was nothing compared to his. She could not release herselffrom his grasp and followed him along into the ward. She closed the door behind her.

In the ward, Han stared at her impassively. “What are you doing here?”

Leah stared back at him. “Just to see you.”

“To see if I’m dead?” Han’s lips curved into a mocking smile as he sneered. “You should bedisappointed that I’m still alive.”
