Chapter 181
Only Ariana had slapped him again and again. Only she dared to do that.
“Mr. Lodge…”
Emily entered the office and said, “Ms. Torrey knocked over the decorative plant by the entrance as she left.”
“Let her knock it over.”
“What?” Emily was taken aback.

Brian wiped at the blood where Ariana had bitten his lip. “Go to the Torrey residence and bring Ariana back here. Tell her I said she isn’t allowed to go anywhere without my permission.”
“Mr. Lodge, that might not be a good idea. What if she leaves again? That would only make you look bad.”

Sometime later, Emily returned to the office.
Seeing him still–restlessly pacing, she asked, “Mr. Lodge, I already spoke to the Torrey family. Do you…”
Which is better for an apology, roses or lilies?”
“What?” Emily didn’t quite understand.
Brian’s expression was cold as he said, “Even though everything I did was within my rights as her fiancé, it’s not right to go against a woman’s will. Order some flowers and send them to Arlana as my apology.”
