Darling, only I can be your man novel Chapter 8

  Ariana took her belongings and left the company for the day. Everyone in her department had gone home, she was the last one from her department. She saw Emily’s car parked at the front as she came out. She smiled and walked over. She got in the car passenger seat and blew a breath of relief.

   

  “Why did it seem like you had a long day at work?” Emily looked at her worriedly.

   

  “You can say that but I am alright.” She smiled at Emily because she knew Emily would overreact for anything when it came to her, so she did not want to tell her about it.

   

  Emily looked at her seriously, “Are you sure? I know you will keep everything inside, you don’t take me for your bestfriend and you know I would do anything for you.”

   

  “I know you would.” Ariana smiled at her. “Now let’s go.”

   

  Emily did not believe her but she had to give up and start the car. Not far away someone was in their car watching them but he did not know who she was in the car with. As soon as Ariana's car drove off, Michael withdrew his glare and went deep in thoughts. Nobody knew what he was thinking.

   

  Alex seemed to understand his boss, “Sir, do you want me to follow them?”

   

  Michael was frightened but masked quickly, “Why would you want to follow them, do I look idle?”

   

  “I am sorry sir, where do you want to go?” Alex asked cautiously.

   

  “What are you waiting on? It seems like you are tired of working.” Michael responded irritated.

   

  Alex felt lost, “Sir, you did not give me any instructions.”

   

  “Follow the car.” He commanded.

   

  Alex was speechless and had no other choice but to follow the care Ariana was in. it was good that their car was not at a fast speed. Alex sighed inwardly ‘it seemed as if the boss is going crazy in just one day since Miss Fearon was hired. Then what will happen after a month?’

   

  …

   

  “Ariana, do you know Mr. Johnson from the JJ Group?” Emily suddenly asked.

   

  “Not really, why did you asked?” Ariana sounded calm but in fact she was so nervous that she started sweating. She did not tell Emily that her father had arranged the marriage with Mr. Johnson even though she just found out who the man was. She wanted to handle her problems on her own. Emily has a company to run so it wouldn’t be wise for her to get mixed up in the Fearon’s family drama.

   

  “I heard today that he is getting married. I don’t know who would want to marry that old bastard. He has a bad reputation when it comes to his relationship affairs.” Ariana was even more nervous but she wanted to learn more about him if she is planning to fight against her family for not wanting an arranged marriage.

   

  “What is his reputation?” Ariana asked expectantly.

   

  “Well, he likes to prey on young girls. He would invite them out for dinner and drug them to sleep with him. After that he dumped them on the streets and sometimes passed them on to his friends when he didn't need them anymore. I don’t think a man like that can change.” Emily was still driving and Ariana listened eagerly but she felt bitter in her heart to know that her father would let her get married to someone with that kind of reputation. What made it worse is the fact that Johnson is the same age as her father.

   

  “I feel there is more to this marriage that is not being said. Furthermore, he had been married twice before and it was rumored that his first wife committed suicide by jumping off a building and the second wife had gone crazy so her family came back for her.” Emily felt heartache for both wives.

   

  Now Ariana knew why Michael was behaving weird today, but why didn’t he say it clearly? “Well whoever he is getting married to, I am sure she will find a way out of that marriage.” Ariana was wondering if she should tell Emily but then she decided against it.

   

  Soon Emily reached Ariana’s apartment. Ariana lived in an apartment building on the 5th floor. The building is quiet because it was rented mostly by elders and the security was not bad. It was a good environment for Ariana’s personality.

   

  “Babe, I won’t be coming up with you today. I have a business dinner at 7pm, I will call you when I get home and I am going on a business trip to Country C at noon tomorrow.” Emily said fake crying to Ariana. Ariana only looked at her with amusement. Such a child.

   

  “Hehe...” Ariana laughed at her. “Honey, you will be fine. I am going to miss you but take good care of yourself and keep safe.” Ariana knew Emily would get caught up in working and don’t eat.
