Chapter: 344
Her assistant, Meadow, coincidentally arrived with a handful of items, including a blanket, a clean men’s coat, and a thermos of ginger tea purchased outside.
Selene had planned to use these items to get closer to Tyler. But she didn’t feel like doing it right now. She glared over at Tyler as he held Ariana, who was shivering after being pulled out of the pool.
Tyler looked at Ariana with concern written all over his face.
“Are you okay, Miss Cicio?” Meadow was confused as she observed Selene’s gloomy expression and wondered what happened. When she left a few moments ago, Selene was so cheerful. Did someone upset her?
“Get rid of them,” Selene said coldly, looking at the items Meadow brought back.
“What? Why?” Meadow was taken aback. She scanned the area and whispered to Selene, “Didn’t you mention that you were going to hand them over to Tyler?”
“Nah, he doesn’t have any use for them anymore. Just get rid of them.” Selene then sat down and gazed at the swimming pool in silence.
Meadow felt unsure of Selene’s mood and didn’t dare to press the matter. She put the blanket and coat in the bag, leaving the ginger tea in the thermos for herself to drink later.
“Have you heard back from the company about the poaching of Ariana that | asked you to do yesterday?” Selene suddenly asked.
Meadow hesitated, afraid that what she said would make Selene’s mood even worse. “Be honest, did you ask anyone in the company to poach her?” Impatiently, Selene turned to give her a look.
Meadow knew Selene’s personality well, and she knew she had to be truthful to avoid further consequences. So, she finally confessed, “Ariana disregarded the company’s terms and blatantly refused.”
Selene was surprised and angry that Ariana would reject such a generous offer. “Wow, she’s quite the tough one. It looks like she has some influential support.”
Despite being a recent entrant in the entertainment industry, Selene had been exposed to a diverse range of people since childhood, thanks to the influence of her uncle. She knew that someone like Ariana, who was new to the scene, could leverage her looks to gain benefits that others could only dream of.
Meadow disagreed and shook her head, saying, “Miss Cicio, you're mistaken. Ariana doesn’t come from an influential background. She’s actually quite simple. Her family used to be wealthy, but after her father, Spencer Edwards, passed away, the Edwards family’s fortunes declined.”
Hearing this, Selene frowned. She couldn't believe that someone with no connections would have the audacity to refuse a company like Vine Entertainment.
“And...” After a brief pause, Meadow pulled out her phone and searched for Ariana’s details. “Take a look at this. Her profile indicates that Ariana is married, but nobody around her has ever laid eyes on her husband.”
“Got married?” With a sudden burst of excitement, Selene spoke in an intrigued tone as she scrolled through Ariana’s information. “What kind of decent man would marry a poor girl? He’s probably some unknown and ugly guy.”
She continued venting her anger and snorted, “How could Tyler fall for a married woman like her!”
Meadow initially thought Selene’s interest in Tyler was just a passing fancy, but as she observed Selene’s emotional fluctuations, she began to worry that her boss was taking Tyler seriously.
Meadow asked hesitantly, “Maybe Sarah just got lucky, and Ariana had nothing to do with it. Ariana doesn’t have any power to do anything. Why did you want her?”
