Darling, only I can be your man novel Chapter 38

　　“Hey darling, I haven’t seen you in a while.” Millie Gayle tried to sound chirpy to mask her discomfort and guilt but her red

　　and puffy eyes betrayed her.

　　Ariana pulled her into a hug and rub her back lightly, “I don’t know why you were crying but I hope it is nothing serious and you will be okay.”

　　Ariana had always liked her. She remembered that she was her mother’s only friend and over the years she had send clothes and money every year on her birthday and tell her to hide it from her father.

　　Alex looked between them nervously. He was strictly advised by his boss not to disclose any information to his wife but now they have been caught directly by her.

　　When he turned around to look back at the President, he was sitting there well calm and compose as if this has nothing to do with him. Boss is really something else.

　　“I am sorry Ariana, but I have to go now.” Millie did not want to cry in front of Ariana and she did not want her to develop any hatred for her even though she deserves it. She removed herself from Ariana’s arm and walked fast to the elevator.

　　Ariana tried calling after her with no luck.

　　She walked in the office and Alex hurriedly scurried away.

　　She went to sit on the couch but Michael called her over to sit on his lap.

　　Ariana face got red from blushing. This man is like a horny animal, nothing more than he wants to touch her. She thought.

　　Michael knew what she was thinking about, “Why are you so red?” he smirked at her.

　　“Shut up. If not, I am leaving.” Ariana felt embarrassed from his teasing.

　　“I am sorry honey. Come here.” Michael had to sigh in defeat. He definitely have a stubborn and an unruly wife.

　　Ariana walked over to him and he pulled her in his arms. Without hesitation, he slams his lips on hers.

　　She pulled away and asked with curiosity, “Why was that lady here?”

　　Michael knew she would have questions.

　　He did not want to hide the truth from her but he did not want to tell her either, especially without proof.

　　Ariana take in his reaction and noticed he had an internal battle going on.

　　But she wanted the truth and her gut feeling is telling her that it has something to do with her and finding her mother.

　　“Michael!” she nudged him.

　　He tighten his grip on her waist and looked deeply at her. “She was here due to the investigation.”

　　Ariana throat went dry and she immediately swallowed. She noticed Millie’s Red and puffy eyes, she had being crying. Could it be that something terrible happen to her mom?
