Chapter 167: READING (3)

Aileen was still trying to call Aidan, because the last time she called the man the line just went dead. Either because Aidan ended the conversation himself or there was an error in the connection...

Aileen didn't understand, but for sure Aidan hadn't picked up a call from Aileen since their call that night and this really left Aileen annoyingly bothered.

This was the first time that Aileen had met a man so cold as Aidan, who didn't even hesitate to ignore her. Aileen wondered, why do the gentlemen of City A have such unpleasant personalities? Didn't he think that Aileen could do something with the evidence in her hands?

Just like Ramon Tordoff, who didn't even glance at her. However, how did Hailee manage to succeed winning his heart?

Even how Hailee met Ramon was still a mystery to Aileen. She just did not think that the two of them would actually have a marriage that was initially based on business solely.

Seeing how Ramon treated Hailee and also the tiara that the man won for her, was a small example that would break the opinion that they were married based on marriage convenience like some other young businessmen.

Yes, Aileen heard the news about the tiara and she almost destroyed everything in her room because of the jealousy brewed in her chest.

What a lucky b*tch! How could Hailee get that luxurious tiara so easily while she had to find a way to calm the angry share holders who learned that George had bought the diamond ring as a present to Aileen?

Or how could she calm Diego who asked for the ring back and cancel George's intention to buy it, which would embarrass Aileen too?

Shit!

Aileen cursed when Aidan did not answer her calls again. The man seemed to want to play with her which made matters worse. It seemed Aidan thought Aileen's threat was all just her bluffing an empty threat.

Annoyed, Aileen put her cell phone back in her small handbag and was about to leave the guest room when she found Theodore walking along the hallway.

"Sorry, I took too long," Aileen said with a smile on her lips as she walked over to Theodore and kissed him on the cheek. "Are Hailee and Mr. Tordoff already here?" She asked.

Aileen thought that Theodore was there looking for her and did not suspect any other possibility.

Perhaps, it was because her mind was too focused on her frustration with Aidan and the plans that were forming in her head to get him, that she didn't realize that Theodore wasn't coming for her.

"Oh, yes, they have come…" Theodore answered Aileen, but his eyes did not meet hers, instead, he turned his gaze around the corridor, as if trying to find something.

"Then, let's meet them." Aileen took Theodore's hand cheerfully, but the glint in her eyes said that the smile had not reached her eyes.

==============

"How can you be with her?!" Zia really didn't understand how Aidan could spend a night with Aileen. And even to the point of divulging their secrets to this woman.

Among the millions of people, why should it be Aileen? That petty and cunning woman, who should know their secret?!

Zia really wanted to scream in Aidan's face, but sadly, all she could do now was let out her irritation and anger over the phone and let the man know that she already found out about what had happened between the two of them.

Zia told him everything Aileen had told her in a voice shaking with anger.

Indeed, Zia had closed access so that Aidan could no longer contact her, even now she had changed her phone number again.

But, that didn't mean Zia couldn't contact this man. His cell phone number was something Zia wouldn't just forget about and again, the Smith company office number was very easy to come by.

"Zia, can we just meet and talk about this?" Aidan begged. He held his cell phone in one hand and massaged his throbbing temple with the other, begging them to meet and not discuss the matter over a phone call.

Despite the troubles that have been plaguing him lately, Aidan would be very happy if this girl would just meet him for a moment.

He really missed her.

"What for?" Zia's voice rose a notch, she clenched her fists at her sides, trying to keep her voice steady. "I don't want to see you, so stop persuading me. I just want you to clear things up with Aileen and I don't want her to threaten me like that again!" Zia growled.

From the other end of the phone, the girl could even hear Aidan sighing heavily, indicating that the man was very tired.

There was a side in Zia's heart that wanted to say yes to Aidan's invitation to meet, because there was a big part of her that missed him so much, but there was another part of her that said that she had to do this. She scolded herself; how long would she be like this??!

Wasn't it obvious that the relationship between the two of them would not find any bright spots? Like walking through an endless dark hallway without being able to see the end of it...

"Okay… I will think of something so she doesn't bother you again," Aidan said at last. He looked like a gambler who lost his gamble and left with nothing after he spent all his savings, so that all that was left was a feeling of emptiness.

"That's great then," Zia said in a flat tone without emotion.

Then, after those words were spoken, neither of them spoke, as if the two of them were enjoying this silence. Knowing that each other was listening to the same silence.

Neither of them took the initiative to turn off the phone call, considering that there were no words they wanted to say.

Actually this was the phase when they were very close in the last few weeks, even though the distance between them was still so great.

"It was highly likely that I would be getting a divorce with Giana." Aidan finally said, breaking the silence between the two of them.

"What?" Zia frowned, repeating the question because she was afraid she would have heard him wrongly.

"I am going to divorce Giana," Aidan said, this time his voice became much firmer and more stable.

However, it was at that moment that from Zia's side, Aidan could hear someone calling the girl and her voice hurrying to turn off their line.

"I have to go," Zia said when she heard Hailee's voice calling out to her and saw her figure enter the room.

"Where have you been? Why weren't you downstairs to welcome me?" Hailee asked in a confused voice, staring at Zia's slightly panicked expression, as if she were hiding something from her.

"Oh, I just called my friend," Zia stuttered a little and put her cell phone back in her pocket.

Hailee looked a little confused by the attitude Zia was showing her, but before she could ask any further questions, the girl already hugged her tightly and greeted her cheerfully again, making Hailee forget what she wanted to ask and finding Zia's slightly odd attitude just not that much important to be discussed more deeply.

"Let's go back to the living room, don't let the lawyer wait." Zia pulled Hailee's hand. "I want to see Aileen's face who got nothing later."

==============

Aidan tugged at his hair in frustration and clutched his cell phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white with the emotions he was trying to control.

For a moment Aidan was silent. He closed his eyes very tightly and tried to analyze all that had happened. All the mistakes and everything that had happened during his marriage to Giana.

And in the end, Aidan agreed that there was no reason that could make him stay with Giana.

Aidan was unhappy with the woman and its the same case with Giana. They both only hurt each other

The convenience marriage they did, in fact, was very impossible to not involve and engage to their emotional state. It turned out that both of them took this matter very seriously.

And maybe separation was the best thing ...

Maybe this decision wasn't all bad...

Then Aidan's thoughts turned to Zia. That woman… didn't Zia say that she would be with Aidan if he divorced Giana?

And now Aidan was really going to divorce Giana...

Which meant...

Aidan's eyes immediately opened and an understanding entered his mind, he immediately felt that he had to meet Zia, no matter what.

Aidan then stood up from his seat, then grabbed his car keys. He would meet Zia now.

If indeed Zia wanted their relationship to be known by the public, then that would be what Aidan would do now.

Wasn't this her wish all along? And now Aidan could fulfill it all.

The idea of ??being with Zia and spending the rest of his life with the woman he loved, made Aidan feel more excited than ever.

However, before Aidan could head to the parking lot and carry out his plan, someone had already entered his office.

"Giana?" Aidan narrowed his eyes and immediately his cheerful face changed. His forehead creased and he looked defensive, noticing that his wife had come to his office.

"You look happy." Giana said, examining Aidan's face. Because there was still a smile on his lips."Did something interesting happen?" She asked.

However, Aidan did not heed the question. He then folded his arms across his chest and stomped his feet impatiently. "Why are you here? What do you want?" He asked harshly.

Giana was just about to argue with him again because the way Aidan spoke to her was considered too harsh.

But, in the end Giana ignored this and walked into the room. "Sit down, we have to talk about our divorce later and adapt some stories." Giana then turned to Aidan when the man didn't even follow her inside and was still standing in the doorway. "We don't want the public to find out that we actually got divorced because you have been cheating behind my back since the first day of our marriage now, do we?"

Hearing Giana's words which have an underlying threat, made Aidan change his mind and walk back into his office.

"Let's talk about this quickly," Aidan said in a low, muttering voice.

==============

Hailee sat next to Ramon, who looked calm as he listened to the Tatum family's lawyer opening line regarding the inheritance to be received.

Meanwhile, Aileen and Theodore sat directly opposite the Tordoff couple and looked just as calm.

Although, actually the two of them were busy with their own thoughts...
