Chapter 298
Chapter: 298 Theodore raised his eyebrows, his piercing eyes boring into Tyler with a cold glare. However, he remained silent, giving away nothing of his thoughts or feelings.
The silence that followed was deafening. Ariana felt the urge to break it, so she searched for a topic that could steer the conversation away from the awkwardness.
“What brings you here today, Mr. Anderson? Is there something amiss?”
Theodore’s lips curled into a faint smile as he cast a discerning gaze over Ariana’s form. He found her attempts at pretending not to know him amusing, and decided to play along.
He responded with a cold edge to his voice, “Don’t pry into matters that don’t concern you.” Ariana’s mouth gaped open in shock. She couldn’t believe he had spoken to her in such a manner after such a long time.
As Ariana looked into Theodore’s eyes, she saw a glint of mischief lurking in their depths, and she suddenly realized that he was making fun of her.
She was the one who pretended to not know him, and she now found herself in an uncomfortable position.
Awave of embarrassment swept over her, as she realized that she had unknowingly set herself up for this situation. It was like lifting a rock, only to drop it on her own feet.
Meanwhile, Tyler, who had been standing quietly to the side, couldn’t help but steal a glance at Theodore. The man exuded a powerful aura, commanding the attention of all those around him.
The truth was, Tyler had felt a jolt of recognition run through him when Theodore spoke. It was the voice of the person who had answered Ariana’s phone the previous night.
The man from the other end of the line demanded to know Tyler's identity, but Tyler held his tongue as he recalled Ariana’s warning to keep quiet before signing the contract. So, he only managed to blurt out that he needed to speak with Ariana.
However, the man hung up without another word.
Little did Tyler know that the person he spoke to the previous night was none other than the formidable Theodore Anderson, the mastermind behind the Anderson Group.
The way Theodore spoke, it was evident that he had a special relationship with Ariana—a connection that piqued Tyler’s curiosity.
Why were they pretending not to know each other now?
Arealization struck Tyler, and he found himself lost in thought.
The hostility he saw in Theodore’s eyes was not a figment of his imagination. It was real, raw, and undeniable. It was like the King of Wolves, who would not tolerate any intrusion into his territory or his partner.
Theodore had laid claim to Ariana, and Tyler had unwittingly trespassed into his domain by making that call last night.
Tyler’s heart sank, and he couldn't help but feel a little down. He tried to push the idea away, but it kept creeping back into his mind.
A few moments of awkward silence passed before Theodore spoke up in his deep, commanding voice. “If there is nothing else, | shall take my leave.”
