“Good morning, guys!” Trishia’s smile was up to her ears while her two girlfriends got her back.
“Aunt Trishia? What are you doing here?” Adam was first to break the silence.
He knew camping was not his Aunt Trishia’s thing.
“Well…” Trishia moved to Bill who’s beside Arabella then kissed him on his cheek. “We just want to join you guys if you don’t mind.” She added cheerfully.
Then her eyes landed on the other side of the table.
“OMG! Mr…. Mr. Eric Grant?” Trishia giggled at the handsome Eric who was silently observing the situation.
His eyes were merely focused on Arabella the whole time.
Trishia strode seductively to Eric and gracefully gave her hand to him.
Eric smirked cutely and shook Trishia’s hand just not to embarrass her.
“Eric Grant. Hi.” Eric sounded plain.
“Hi, I’m Trishia Meyer. Bill’s….” She looked at the man who was calmly sitting and sipping his coffee.
“Bill’s fiancée before but soon to be his next wife,” Trishia claimed confidently.
Eric just nodded and released her hand immediately. The person he hated the most is a hypocrite.
Judging from Trishia’s look and words, she was not a friend as she could claim someone’s husband vulgarly.
“My mom is more beautiful than you.” Ivan, the mute boy suddenly sounded displeased.
“You!” Hearing someone opposed her, Trishia got enraged. She ran towards the boy and pointed at him like she was going to teach him a lesson. “No wonder you wear eyeglasses because your eyes have difficulties in seeing.” Childishly, Trishia blurted out at the unfamiliar boy.
“No. I’m not. I can see you clearly.” Ivan looked at her and smirked mockingly.
“You!” Trishia giggled in annoyance. ‘You must teach a lesson!”
“You too.” Ivan quickly replied with round eyes.
“Okay. Ivan that’s enough.” Eric sounded serious and went to Ivan.
“I’m sorry for my nephew’s behavior,” Eric said apologetically to Trishia.
Hearing the boy was Eric Grant’s nephew, Trishia held Ivan’s shoulder.
“Oh, it’s okay Mr. Grant. He’s just a little boy. Like Adam, they could be so over-thinker sometimes. But I find it cute! Really!” Her voice instantly changed to the sweetest melody.
Couldn't stand Trishia's fakeness, Ivan grabbed Adam’s hand and they went away.
Eric went back to his seat.
He looked at Arabella who was still eating in silence like she didn’t care about her surroundings.
Obviously, she didn’t care about Trishia’s presence. She seemed used to her arrogance and schemes.
“Hi, I’m Cheska!” A sexy woman strode towards Bill and gave her hand.
“Hello, I’m Fiona!” The other girl model went to Eric.
Bill just looked at the woman. His sharp eyes were dark as he was annoyed by the daring woman in front of him.
“My wife would get mad if I shake your hand.” Bill sounded insulting the girl.
On the other hand, Eric just looked at the girl’s hand. After a while, he shook it formally.
Arabella was taking her time. She ate like no one is waiting for her to finish.
She wanted to see what Trishia was up to her sleeve. She wanted to see Trishia and her friend’s show.
“Hi guys, I’m Mark!” Another unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded.
All looked at the latecomer.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I just woke up.” The man named Mark sounded very friendly and charming.
“Mark, come here!” Trishia sounded signaling her hand. He was with Trishia. He was a handsome and sexy model. “Meet Arabella.”
“Hi! I’m Markie!” Mark went closer to Arabella and gave his hand but before Arabella could respond, Bill stood up and got Mark’s hand.
Mark met Bill’s dangerous eyes. Bill squeezed his hand hard and he seemed no plan to let him go.
“What’s wrong with you?” Shocked and terrified, Mark asked as he was trying to take away his hand from Bill.
Bill smiled calmly at Mark but his dangerous eyes were pierced at him.
“If you don’t want me to break your bones do not talk to my wife ever again.” Bill’s voice was calm but carried a huge wave of threats.
“Okay! Okay...” Mark replied quickly trying to snatch back his hand but Bill’s grip got tighter.
“Ouch! Let go! I didn’t know that she’s your wife!” Mark shouted in pain but Bill was so stubborn enough not to hear him.
“Okay! Okay! I promise… I promise not to talk to her again.” Mark was twisting his body to get rid of Bill’s grip.
After hearing him, Bill let go of Mark’s hand.
Then Bill took Arabella’s hand and dragged her away.
Seeing the couple flee, Eric followed without any words leaving the newcomers on their own.
“Trishia, that man almost broke my wrist!” Mark angrily exclaimed.
“Hey! Don’t complain. You have withdrawn the money I sent you from your bank account. So do your job!” Trishia pointed at Mark and reminded him. “You and You!” She pointed at the two girls. “Do your job well! You see your targets, right? Work on your charms! They are just men and all men are all the same as long as you offer your body to them, they will eat you! Clear?
And that Arabella, she should fall into your hand! Don’t make me regret that I hired you!” Trishia was too vicious. She was too desperate to ruined Arabella and Bill’s relationship. For her, if she could not do it alone, she might as well use some people that could do anything for money.
Whatever happened, she would not be blamed. These three were experts in this kind of job. They are hired to do ferocious jobs.
Cheska and Fiona were usually hired to allure men by their wives to test if their husbands were faithful to them.
They were also used to get wealth and important information from men.
Mark was a callboy and used his charm to get rich girls, widowers, and old women’s money.
They lived by modeling and having this kind of job as their sidelines.
After breakfast, the group went fishing.
Arabella was very happy about their catch.
“Wow! I’m so excited to cook all these for lunch.” Arabella happily announced.
Bill, Eric, and the kids smiled brightly at her.
