Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 150

Chapter 150 A Deal 

I gazed at Leonard meaningfully, only to see him shaking his head wildly at me right away. 

The door was quickly opened. It turned out that Alisa entered the room for real. 

Both Leonard and I were stunned, to say the least. More than ten minutes quickly passed after that, yet Alisa didn’t show any signs of exiting the room. 

“You got any important documents in your room?” 

Leonard shook his head immediately. “All I have are clean clothes! Don’t tell me Alisa’s a pervert!” 

Shock was evident on his face. A hint of terror could be seen in his eyes. 

I just pushed Leonard away while looking a little disdainful. Clearly, he was imagining something weird about Alisa. 

Leonard quickly sat on my bed. “In any case, I’m not going back to that room! I’m staying here tonight! I don’t care! Since my room is now haunted by a lady’s ghost, there’s no way I’m going back!” 

Seriously, I couldn’t do anything about Leonard, since he refused to budge at all. In the end, both of us could only lie down on the bed. But I seriously had no idea what Alisa was up to. 

“Hey, do you think she’s still inside that room? Is there something weird in your room?” 

I looked at Leonard quizzically. He was already so exhausted that he could barely keep his eyes open, so he wrapped an arm around my waist. 

“Just go to bed. The answer will be revealed to us tomorrow anyway.” 

I initially thought Alisa would leave the room by midnight. But I didn’t sleep a wink at all throughout the night. Weirdly enough, there weren’t any sounds of Leonard’s room door being opened. 

The door was finally opened a few minutes past five. Alisa’s yawn followed suit. 

I got out of bed immediately. Then, I moved to stick my ear against the door sneakily. None of the household staff seemed to be awake at this time, yet Alisa made sure to cause a lot of noise just to 

attract attention. 

Leonard grumbled something under his breath, clearly annoyed by the noise. I quickly kicked him in order to wake him up 

“Shush! Hurry up and return to your room!” 

Leonard clambered out of bed blearily. “Is she gone?” 

I nodded. After opening the door, I looked around to see the corridor being deserted. Hence, I quickly ushered Leonard back to his room. 

Uncle Keenan was even friendlier to Leonard at breakfast. “Did you have a good night’s rest? I specifically had someone switch in a new mattress for you. It’s comfortable, isn’t it?” 

At the same time, Uncle Keenan’s gaze kept drifting between Alisa and Leonard. Alisa just lowered her head while looking quite bashful. 

Uncle Keenan seemed happier upon noticing my exhausted visage. “Eva, did you not sleep well?” 

I was about to answer him when Alisa scoffed at me. “If you can’t sleep well, you should use earplugs. 

That way, you can avoid overhearing certain sounds that might piss you off even more.” 

She even brushed her hair with her fingers haughtily. I just stared at her in confusion. 

Did I even hear anything last night? What could Alisa do on her own the room anyway? Was she dancing to club music on her own? 

But Uncle Keenan seemed rather delighted. He became somewhat of a chatterbox at breakfast. 

Before Leonard tagged with Uncle Keenan to his company, he even told me to get some sleep. 

I was confused when I noticed Alisa’s smug expression. What was she being so smug about? 

Once I returned to my room, I was about to go to bed when I heard a series of raps coming from the door. Upon realizing that Alisa was the one knocking on my door, I quickly moved to close the door in her face. 

I had a feeling that she was up to no good, after all. 

But Alisa purposefully said to me loudly, “Let’s have a chat, Eva. Avoiding something is never a good solution. Are you planning on being a coward forever?” 

Many household staff turned to look at us, which made me even more confused. 

Alisa shoved past me and ducked into my room at lightning speed. She then closed the door and locked it behind her. 

The way Alisa leaned against the door made me ask, “What are you-‘ 

“Shh!” She made a shushing gesture to me. Then, she spent some time listening to the movements outside the room. 

Once Alisa was sure that no one was hanging outside my room, she walked to the bathroom before gesturing at me to follow her. After that, she turned on the tap. 

“Don’t tell me you have hidden cameras installed in your house!” 

I covered my chest instinctively. My scalp tingled in fear and uneasiness when I remembered the times I had changed my clothes in the bathroom. 

Alisa just rolled her eyes at me. “How could such things exist in my house? I’m just worried that someone might be eavesdropping on us just now. Anyway, Eva, let’s make a deal.”
