Never Judge

Chapter 85 - 85

Cedric just finished his meeting with the difficult CEO when Ray began calling him frantically.

"What?" Cedric asked, clearly in a foul mood. ??

"Nicole just called me! Adrianna and Ayanna are drinking in Hype Bar with Tony Tamano!" Ray said in a rush.

"Send him away!" Cedric said, furious.

"I can't just throw someone out of Hype Bar. And what will I tell your wife?" Ray asked Cedric.

"Fine. Accompany them. I'll get on a plane at once! Adrianna has an extremely low alcohol tolerance. I don't trust any man around her when she's drunk." Cedric said.

"Not even me?" Ray teased, Cedric knew he liked Ayanna.

"Not even you Ray. Just stay with them till I get back." Cedric said, dropping the call.

"Camilla, tell the pilot to prepare the plane. We're heading back to the capital. Tell my driver to pick me up at the airport and take us directly to Hype Bar." Cedric said in a stern tone.

Camilla nodded and started dialing a number.

"Do you have any business left here?" Cedric asked Ian.

"No sir." Ian said in reply.

"You're coming back with me. I need you to work on the new factory. The matter here is settled and we already have a branch office." Cedric ordered.

Ian simply nodded and left to collect his things from the hotel.

Less than three hours later Cedric, Ian, and Camilla were back in the capital.

"Sir I just got off the phone with Mia, Miss Adrianna is still at Hype bar." Leon, who had been with them in Thailand reported.

Cedric nodded and quickly transferred from the plane to his car. Ian and Leon followed Cedric, while Camilla stayed behind to arrange the necessary documents that Cedric skipped by leaving.

In the car, on the way to Hype Bar, Cedric kept trying to call Ray who wasn't picking up his calls. He had also tried calling Ayanna but to no avail.

"Drive faster!" Cedric shouted at his driver. The driver was surprised, his boss was usually calm and cold. He never showed emotion like this before, nonetheless he drove faster as his boss ordered.

Luckily it was late enough at night that there was no traffic. The usually congested streets flowed easily and within thirty minutes Cedric was at Hype Bar, getting out of his car.

Cedric assumed that Adrianna and Ayanna were in Ray's private room. Having gone there himself with the boys several times he knew exactly where to go. The staff also recognized him as one of Ray's friends, so no one stopped him.

When he got to the door it was locked. He banged on it, but it wouldn't budge, so Cedric called Leon over who in turn tried to break the door, but to Ray's credit the door seemed it wouldn't break so easily.

Cedric tried one more time and as he was about to make contact with the door it suddenly swung open.

"I told you Cedric would fly back for her!" Cedric heard Ray's triumphant jest.

"Fine I lose!" Ayanna, who was clearly drunk, giggled.

"What is going on Ray!" Cedric was furious.

"The girls tricked me!" Ray said in an attempt to defend himself.

Cedric was about to punch Ray when he saw Adrianna passed out on the couch.

"Brother, why'd you come back. I told you to give her space!" Ayanna said as she struggled to sit up.

"Why didn't you send me a message?" Cedric asked Ray.

"Well, your sister took my phone and placed it somewhere I can't exactly get it from." Ray said, scratching his head.

"It tickles." Ayanna giggled as she took Ray's phone out of her shirt.

Cedric took the phone from Ayanna's hand and gave it to Ray.

"Ced! Ced! Ced! Adrianna and I had so much fun!" Ayanna said standing up and falling back down on the couch. Ray ran to catch her as soon as he saw her lose her balance.

Cedric just shook his head and smiled. He couldn't help but feel relieved that his sister had played a prank and that there was no one else aside from them in that room. He was afraid that if Tony Tamano was in that room with a drunk Adrianna he wouldn't be able to resist.

Cedric went and picked Adrianna up from the couch and tried to wake her up.

"Honey, you need to wake up." He whispered gently.

"Go away Ced. I'm sleeping!" Adrianna complained.

Cedric just laughed at her reaction.

"Ray, bring Ayanna to my car please." Cedric told Ray, who followed and helped Ayanna walk.

"Damnit Ayanna walk straight!" Cedric heard Ray scolding his sister behind them.

"I'm dizzy." Ayanna complained.

"Then you shouldn't have drank so much!" Ray scolded again.

"But my sister in law was sad. And she said drink, so I drank!" Ayanna said proudly as she struggled to walk.

"If you don't walk properly I'm gonna throw you over my shoulders or drag you! Take your pick!" Ray complained.

"I'll walk properly!" Ayanna declared before finally tripping and falling face first on the floor.

Ray sighed and picked Ayanna up and carried her on his shoulder as if he were kidnapping her.

At the parking lot Cedric saw Ian leaning on Cedric's car talking to an ashamed Nicole.

When Nicole saw Cedric she ran up to him shouting.

"Ced, I'm so sorry! Ayanna forced me. Well she can't force me! She blackmailed me. She said she would tell mom and dad about my crush and I already know that my parents won't like my crush because he isn't like us. Tony Tamano was never here, no other guy was ever here. She knew that if I told Ray about Tony drinking with them you would come home immediately." Nicole was talking non-stop and was beginning to annoy Cedric.

"Nicole, you're going off again." Cedric sighed.

"Oh sorry." Nicole said quietly.

"Ian, will you please make sure that Nicole makes it home safely. She probably shook off her security detail again, go and call Miguel, tell him you'll take her home." Cedric ordered.

Ian simply nodded and asked Nicole for her car keys. Nicole apologized again before getting into the passenger's seat and letting Ian drive her home.

"Put Ayanna in the car. I'll take them both home to the Reyes house. I can't just show up with a drunk Adrianna in this car at her house." Cedric told Ray.

They placed the two girls in the back seat while Cedric sat in front.

When they finally got home, Cedric asked one of the guards to help bring Ayanna to her room. The staff weren't exactly surprised to see a passed out Ayanna since this had happened many times. The maids were ready and had prepared a bucket next to her bed. They also gave Ayanna a bath and changed her clothes.

Cedric had taken Adrianna to his room. He gave her a bath and changed her clothes. Luckily both his mother and sister had already bought clothes for Adrianna in case she had to stay over. Cedric then placed Adrianna on his bed and looked at his sleeping wife.

"Adri, I'm sorry for everything. I love you very much." He placed a gentle kiss on her lips and went to sleep beside her.
