“Did you not hear clearly?” Michael spat out to Adam.
Ariana felt nervous. Even though Michael is defending her, she did not know if he misunderstood. Hopefully not.
‘I don’t have anything to hide anyway. It is not like they had anything to do with each other.’ She thought.
Adam could not believe. He did not want to believe. Ariana belonged to him.
“Ari, is what he said really true?” Adam wanted to hear from Ariana himself.
Ariana look at him with disgust, “To you, do we look like a bunch of idlers who would rather stand here and lie to an unimportant person that is not even contributing anything positive to our daily lives?”
Adam throat went dry and his heart was crushed by her words. Did she really called him an unimportant person?
Michael felt proud by her response.
He bent his head and whispered in her ear, “I have two things for you later.”
Ariana looked at him with confusion but Michael did not look back at her. He continued to glare at Adam. He did not want to waste time on him but he don’t want him messing around with his wife either.
“Mr. Richards, I hope this will be the last you interfere with my wife. You had your chance but you chose the wrong sister.” Michael warned him.
Adam did not say anything to retort. His family was wealthy by they could still be crushed by the Matthews’ family. His father would killed him if he ever do anything stupid to affect the entire family and business.
Michael held his wife hands and was ready to turn away when suddenly he heard an annoying voice.
“Adam honey, who are you talking to so long?” Gina was waiting on Adam all this time in the restaurant. She was in one of the private rooms. “Do you know how long I have been wai…” her voice trailed off when she saw Michael.
She looked at him with fear but that fear was replaced by anger when she saw Ariana.
Adam was still in love with her and Ariana might be vengeful enough to take him back.
“Ariana, you already have a rich man at your side. I hope you won’t bother Adam anymore.” Gina was blinded by her jealousy.
Ariana scoffed, “It seems like you haven’t learnt you lesson?”
Gina gulped when she remember Johnson.
Adam look between them in confusion. That was the first time she saw Gina back down from Ariana. Usually Ariana was the sister that walked away.
There is definitely something going on between them. She had something on Gina.
Ariana nudged Michael to leave.
Gina and Adam walked off to the restaurant, both with different thoughts.
After taking few steps, Michael turned around and said loud enough for both of them to hear, “Adultery is a sin so please remember not to cuckold.”
Gina face went pale and she hurried off into the restaurant.
The moment Adam got into the private room he asked, “What did he mean by that?”
“How should I know?” Gina could not tell him the truth.
“Let us order. My father want me to go back early for a discussion. I don’t know what it is yet.” She just wanted to talk about something else.
Adam looked at her weirdly. It was obvious that she was hiding something and he must find out what it is.
…
Michael and Ariana was walking back to the company with their hands interlock but no one spoke.
