When Elvira heard this she quickly counter attacked Rex’s words. No way, no one would dare stand in any way and they wouldn’t dare to utter any word against you.”
“It’s just that I don’t want these people to make things difficult for you, now that your sister is going to have fifty percent of the company and I heard the ford is also a share holder.”
“No way in hell” Elvira rolled her eyes. “Let me tell you this, Ariel will not be given fifty percent. My father will still talk to her and I’ll authorize you to manage the Ann family business”
Rex Anderson shook his head, bent his head and pretended to be lost in thought before he opened his mouth. “No you can’t do that, I’m just your brother in-law. I don’t want anything that will bring issues between Ann and the Fords. Don’t forget they are your fiance’s family and I’m just your brother-in-law.”
“You don’t have to worry about anything. Whatever it is that I say is the final.. No one will dare to say anything about you. Right now, I’m basically the one in control of the Ann family. If I say anything, they won’t dare to challenge me”
“Alright”
“Brother in-law, with you helping me I feel a lot more at peace” Elvira pursed her lips and glanced at Rex a few times. “Mr. Rex, you are really a good man”
“Miss Ann, if you continue to shower praise on me like this, I’ll be sleeping and waking up with pride”, Rex joked. He picked up the bottle of wine and poured wine for her, “Women are meant to be spoiled.”
Elvira smiled as she looked at the man sitting in the wheelchair and day dreamed about how handsome the man would be without the mask and she became extremely regretful in her heart. Why would she hook up with Damien to carry his child and even allow Ariel to marry him? She has to keep her pregnancy hidden till she gets rid of it, as she wouldn’t allow Ariel to take over such a good man. It would be a waste of precious resources.
A woman who deserves not to be loved by anyone only deserves to be single for the rest of her life and she will make sure it happens.
“Miss Ann, you should eat. Just look at how thin you are. You must be stressed from thinking about the company and acting”
“Thank you Mr. Rex, you are the best.” With your concern for me, I feel rejuvenated”
Rex Anderson smiled. This girl will make it easier to take over the Ann family, she will be useful to him for the time being.
In the middle of their conversation, Rex’s phone rang again. He looked down
It was Ariel.
Rex only allowed the phone to ring.
With anger in her heart, Elvira plastered a smile on her face.
“My sister seems to have something urgent to discuss with you.”
“I will speak with her later.”
“Brother in-law, you should hurry and call my sister back. What if she misunderstood you?
I’m really concerned about you; my sister is quick to judge situations.”
“I’ll talk to her later she’s more sensible than that.”
“Hmmm” Elvira replied with a smile.
………..
Ariel looked at the blank screen with disappointment. What she was thinking. He didn’t answer the phone.
Ariel really didn’t want to go to the restaurant with Rex Anderson, but she felt she should do something to at least repay him for giving her a better life. She chose to spend her money on reserving a table at a high end restaurant…
In the end, the man refused to pick up his phone.
It looked like there was no fate for their relationship.
She looked at the booking tickets and placed them under a file.
Just as she was about to bury her head in the documents, she heard a knock on the door.
“Come in”. She saw the person in the office and she immediately regretted letting him into her office.
The one who came in was Andrea Anderson.
What exactly is it this time, that’s making him linger around like a ghost, constantly coming to find me.
“Mr. Andrea, how may I help you?” Ariel put down the document with a cold tone.
After all, she was his superior and also his sister-in-law. She needed to keep a distance from him.
“There’s going to be a social gathering which father was supposed to attend, but as you know he has gone on a business trip, I need you to accompany me.”
“It’s quite unfortunate that, even as the vice president, I can’t lay my hands on information before the manager. It’s obvious that you are not only acting as the president”
“I’m acting on behalf of father; I need you to accompany me”
“What time?” Ariel looked at the time.
“I will get my secretary to tell you” Andrea looked Ariel up and down, “you will also need a dress.”
Ariel smiled as she lowered her head to look at herself. “I’m aware of that, I have a dress!”
When she was appointed as the vice president, Rex had specifically told her she would be attending social gathering, so he had prepared everything she needed in advance.
She stood up and walked down to the cabinet and took out a silver dress.
It looked very simple but it was embedded in crystal. It was also very expensive.
Andrea was shocked as he pointed at the clothes. “These are the clothes.”
“Don’t underestimate my dress. It was designed by a famous designer, my husband spent a fortune on it”
Something stirred in Andrea. He sneered and said.
“Such a grand banquet, you as the vice president and daughter in-law of Anderson, even if you’ve never worn any top tier clothes before, the least I expected you to do is to wear some clothes by an infamous designer.”
Andrea smacked his lips, “You see this dress of yours, if you wear it people will think it was found in an incinerator.”
Ariel chuckled
“Andrea Anderson, you know that my outfit was bought by your cousin and it was designed by a famous designer, yet you dare say otherwise.”
“I didn’t mean it like that”. Andrea Anderson took a deep breath. “Ariel, you are now part of the Ann family group of companies. I hope you will pay attention to your own image: after all, you are now the face of the Andersons family business. If you want to wear the clothes, I won’t stop you. I care about you a lot. I will help you transform from the beginning to the end! Do you understand?
“….”
After saying that, Andrea opened her door to go out, but stopped at the door again. I will tell my assistant to get you a makeup artist. Don’t just put on casual makeup.
I guess you know getting perfect make-up on takes a lot of time. You have to get ready now.
What, I still have a lot of files to read.
Bring them along to the dressing room
Seeing Andrea Anderson leaving, Ariel wished she could take off her shoes and beat him to death.
The whole Andersons’ family is filled with people with venomous tongues. Each one of them is annoying.
Ariel sat back in her chair and prepared to tidy up the documents. Her eyes swept over the restaurant booking tickets and her heart sank.
After tidying up the documents, she picked up her phone to call Pius,. However, the phone was not answered, what a day! It seems heaven couldn’t bear to see her happy. Even her assistant doesn’t answer her phone calls.
She was in the middle of organizing the documents properly when someone knocked on the door.
“Give me some minutes to tidy up”. Ariel thought it was Andrea Assistant that’s coming to get her for the makeup, so she didn’t raise her head.
” Do you have a boyfriend? I actually booked a restaurant with my husband tonight, will you like to go there? She lowered her head and picked up the booking ticket, seeing the person in front of her. She was stunned, “Rex Anderson!”
“Husband! Restaurant tickets” Rex took the tickets from her hand and raised his eyebrows “so you called to ask me out for a dinner date with me.”
Ariel blushed lightly. She only wanted to have dinner with him. Why was he saying it intimately.
“Right honey”
“….”
Ariel didn’t know what to say, she just looked away subconsciously.
