Chapter 209: A SIMPLE QUESTION

Chapter 209: A SIMPLE QUESTION

"Good. But, I just wanted to remind you that you're going to face Ramon Tordoff to get the company."

Hearing Ramon Tordoff's name, made Aidan realize something.

Yes, right. Ramon Tordoff's wife was Hailee Tatum, a cousin of Zia, and the legal heir to the company.

Aidan did not think about this matter in detail until now. Because, according to him, all he needed to do was simply become the largest shareholder in the company and appoint this snake woman named Aileen to carry out his role in the company.

It wouldn't have been a big deal for Aidan.

But, now that Aileen reminded that Ramon Tordoff would be behind his wife to lead and monitor the company's affairs, of course it had turned into a whole new story.

After all, there was no way they could just make them sell the company's stocks as they wished.

Or maybe, Aidan could use a different method…

However, for now the most important thing for him to do first was to stop Aileen with her madness.

The news of his relationship with an unidentified woman circulating in the media had made the situation even more heated and Aidan didn't want to drag Zia into this puddle with him.

"Then, what do you plan to do?" Aileen said again. She was trying not to sound too desperate in front of this man because the chances of Aidan refusing her request after realizing the difficulties he would have to face later were the same as the chances of agreeing to it. "Is facing Ramon Tordoff going to be a problem for you?"

Aileen was really manipulative. She even managed to adjust her tone in such a way that it made Aidan feel hurt by being compared to Ramon Tordoff.

From the way Aileen spoke, Aidan seemed to hear insinuations like; are you afraid of Ramon Tordoff?

Maybe because he was in a state full of pressure or because there were many other things he had to think about, Aidan finally answered. "I'll let you know when I'm done," he got stcuk in Aileen's game. "Make sure you don't do anything silly."

There was a soft laugh from Aileen on the other end of the line before the call ended without a parting sentence.

That's how the deal came to be and would turn into something Aidan would regret.

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

As night fell, Hailee was standing in front of a human-sized mirror, turning in circles several times, after wearing her bright yellow beach dress. She liked bright colors like this, because it would always improve her mood.

It's just that Ramon came and spoiled the mood...

"No Ramon, I'm not wearing that!" Hailee shook her head vigorously and rolled her eyes at the light brown leather jacket he was holding. What's with Ramon and jackets? Why did he always think that Hailee would be cold all the time? "You're going to ruin my look with that ugly piece of clothing," Hailee hissed impatiently.

The jacket that Hailee called an ugly piece of clothing, turned out to have a price she would never have imagined. There's actually nothing wrong with the jacket, but it was the person that offering it, was the problem.

"You want another jacket?" Ramon simply asked as he approached his wife who seemed to purse her lips in disagreement. "We still have time to find the jacket you want."

Hailee sighed.

It seemed like her simple way never worked to persuade Ramon. Indeed, certain strange ways of communicating were required to deal with the Tordoff heir.

Therefore, when Ramon approached, Hailee immediately took action and wrapped her arms around the man's neck, tiptoeing to be able to lightly kiss on his lips, making him a little surprised but also ignite a glint of enthusiasm in his eyes.

"Why do I need a jacket when you're there to keep me warm?" Hailee glanced mischievously at Ramon and smiled seductively, tilting her head to show her slender neck. "Isn't that so, Mr. Tordoff?"

Ramon's gaze on Hailee seemed to be getting more intense with each passing second, until Ramon leaned over and whispered with his hoarse voice in Hailee's ear.

"You're playing a dangerous game, Mrs. Tordoff," he whispered. "This will lead to something we both expected."

Hailee liked how Ramon referred to her as Mrs. Tordoff, that sounded sexy and displayed his territorial nature.

Not to be outdone, Hailee did the same gestureas as her husband, although she had to tiptoe higher by resting her arms on the man's broad shoulders so her lips could be close enough to Ramon's ear. "Hm," Hailee mumbled, starting. "I know what you mean, but it's a shame my OB said we can't do it for the next two weeks. You know, the early stages of pregnancy are very vulnerable."

Hailee smiled with satisfaction when she could use the same excuse, which Ramon had been using to be overprotective of her.

But unfortunately, Hailee didn't expect Ramon's reply at all. "Then what did your dentist say?"

Immediately Hailee shouted, "Ramon!"

Okay, if this continued, then none of them would be attending Charlie's barbecue party tonight.

Or…

They don't really need to attend now, do they?

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

"Hey, you guys are late!" Charlie exclaimed as he slid the last batch of meat onto the plate from the barbecue sticks. "Amy almost finished it all."

Meanwhile, Amy, who was sitting between the two men who had been with them this morning, immediately stood up and hit Charlie on the back of his head. "That's nonsense, you, Cordy and Billy who ate it all."

Meanwhile, Hailee and Ramon took a seat across from Cordy and Billy.

Hailee just laughed at the small fight and Ramon focused more on providing adequate nutrition and energy for his wife. He took a few pieces of meat and placed them on a large plate along with some food that he knew Hailee liked.

"I thought you weren't coming," Amy said to Hailee, then took a seat next to her instead of returning to her previous seat.

"Oh."Hailee subconsciously glanced at Ramon, who was sitting beside her, placing his arm behind the back of her chair. "There's something I need to take care of first."

"Something?" Amy tilted her head questioningly. "What do you have to take care of?"

And unexpectedly, Ramon actually echoed Amy's question, while looking at Hailee meaningfully. "Yes, what do you have to take care of?" His voice was low and a little hoarse.

Hailee could feel her face heating up, and under the table her feet tried to stomp on Ramon's feet, but the man didn't seem to feel anything. Making Hailee's efforts go to waste.

Luckily Charlie who was not at all sensitive to the situation interrupted their conversation and distracted Amy from Hailee.

"Shall we play truth or dare?" He suggested. "This is a must game for an evening like this!"

The suggestion was immediately welcomed by Amy, Billy and Cordy, after which Charlie joined them to start the game.

The beach wind which tended to be a bit chilly breezed past them, playing with Hailee's hair and making her shiver a little.

It made Hailee think again that it wouldhave been really a good idea to wear the jacket that Ramon suggested. While the others could warm themselves with a drink, of course Hailee, in her current state, couldn't warm herself in the same way.She couldn't consume any alcoholic beverages.

But, before Hailee could say that, Ramon had already pulled her closer. He huggedher to make herself feel warmer.This madetheother four people tease the couple.

"I told you didn't I? You should have worn that jacket," Ramon whispered, but Hailee chuckled and whispered back.

"No, because you're so much better than that jacket," Hailee replied, whispering into Ramon's ear, while Cordy, who was sitting right across from Hailee, occasionally glanced at her.

He couldn't be faulted, because Hailee looked beautiful that night in her yellow dress. She looked very sofisticated, coupled with her innocent face without any makeup. Only a hint of pink lipstick adorned her lips.

Ramon Tordoff's wife looked very refreshing.

But Cordy was self-aware and careful not to make it too obvious, because what sane person would want to mess with Ramon Tordoff?

"Ramon!" Charlie exclaimed as the bottle he was spinning stopped on Ramon, and his voice was loud and surprising enough to make Hailee jump a little in surprise. "Truth or dare!?"

Ramon frowned when he heard the question. "I don't remember agreeing to play this game."

"We all agree here, that means you have to agree too, we take the majority vote." Charlie was looking for an excuse. "Even Hailee agrees with me, doesn't she?" Charlie looked at Hailee, asking for support from the look in his eyes.

And of course Hailee agreed. "Yes, you have to choose, truth or dare?"

For a moment Ramon looked at Hailee's mischievous eyes, then said, "Why don't you just choose for me?"

"Hmm." Hailee tapped on her chin. "How about truth?"

"Then what's the question?" Ramon looked back at Charlie for his question.

"How about if I ask it for you?" Amy interrupted,volunteering to ask the question.

"You can. I know this man well enough, so I don't think there's anything else I want to ask." Charlie agreed. "What is the question?"He chuckled, while the rest of the people's focus was on Amy, waiting to see what she had to say.

"A simple question," Amy said quietly after taking a sip of her drink. "Since you are the only married couple among us, I just want to know, how is your married life going?"

Although Amy's question sounded simple, there was another meaning behind it.
