Chapter: 170
Horace adjusted his glasses with a small push and began to recommend several famous scenic spots in the area. In the end, he couldn’t help but inquire, “Are you planning to go someplace with Ms. Edwards?”
Theodore didn’t reply. But his expression said it all. The faint smile pulling at the corners of his lips indicated that he was ina particularly good mood.
After a while, Horace glanced at his watch with a frown and muttered, “It's been twenty minutes. Why hasn’t Ms. Edwards arrived yet?”
Theodore tapped his long finger on the table leisurely and said in an airy tone, “Just wait a little longer. She’s always one to get befuddled. Maybe she’s still looking for her phone in the room.”
Horace raised his eyebrows. He had a feeling that his boss was showing off. By the way in which Theodore was behaving, it seemed that his boss would have a real wife soon.
While they were conversing, the manager of the hotel suddenly ran over and cried in a panic, “Mr. Anderson, Ms. Edwards just checked out at the front desk! She had her luggage with her.”
Theodore’s face darkened. @
Seeing his boss’s stormy face, Horace jumped up from his seat and questioned the manager anxiously, “Why didn’t you stop her? Why didn’t you tell us before she left?”
The manager was in a panic and looked flustered. “We couldn’t stop her. Ms. Edwards just tossed the room card at the reception and left immediately. She didn’t even ask us to return her deposit for the room. When we ran out after her, Ms. Edwards had already hailed a taxi and was gone. There was no way we could stop her in time.”
“| warned you a long time ago, but you still ended up letting her leave.” Horace looked at the manager in frustration. He was feeling very desperate.
Ariana’s sudden departure completely shattered the serene ambiance. Even though Horace had dealt with a lot of problematic things, he still had no idea how to deal with this.
After all, the one who escaped was his boss’s wife. He wasn’t sure what to do. He didn’t dare to send bodyguards to forcibly bring her back. Not unless the boss himself ordered it.
However, Theodore kept silent, staring out the window. His face was as cold as ice. Horace waited for a moment before indicating to the manager to leave.
The VIP area of the dining hall they were in had already been vacated, A heavy silence hung over the huge area until the shattering sound of a single cup falling to the floor broke the stillness.
Horace sighed in his heart. He patiently asked someone to come and clean up the pieces of the cup and ordered another cup of coffee for his fuming boss.
“Do you need me to find out where Ms. Edwards has gone?” Horace asked in a small voice after his boss had calmed down a Little.
Theodore clenched his fists on the table and sneered, “Find her. How dare she make a fool out of me like this? Since she doesn’t
cherish the freedom | offer her, then she can only be locked back in her cage.”
Horace didn’t dare to refute what he was saying, but he didn’t believe Theodore’s claim at all. He finally understood the situation. Ever since Ariana married his boss, Theodore had only talked cruelly to her, but he never hurt her at all and had no intention to. He was a typical man who was tough in the way he spoke but soft-hearted when it came to his actions. It was not hard to imagine which one of the two would feel bad if they ended up quarreling.
Horace sighed and attempted to persuade, “Boss, | think you should get to know Ms. Edwards a little and get closer to her. You can’t keep doing this all the time.”
Theodore responded frigidly, “In this world, I’ve only known others to flatter me. How can | take the initiative to please a woman?”
“So your pride doesn’t allow you to act humble in front of Ms. Edwards,” Horace said without thinking, relentlessly exposing Theodore’s thoughts. @
Theodore cast a warning glance at Horace.
Horace instantly lowered his head respectfully, acting as though he had said nothing.
