That night, he held her in his arms and slept soundly.
When Ariel woke up in the morning, she immediately opened her eyes and found herself in her room. She blinked her eyes twice while using her finger to open her eye lids. Did she not choose to sleep on the sofa last night? How on earth did she get back into this room? Who brought her here? Rex? Of course, who else would do that? It was just the two of them in the villa. She jerked up from the bed but felt a dull pain all over her body, “ouch, my body hurts!” she perceived the smell of an ointment coming from her body.
She knew nobody would do that if not Rex. For a moment her heart skipped a beat and she forgot to breathe.
He brought in his mistress last night and then act like a caring and gentle husband.
After washing up, she dragged herself to the living room. She saw Rex talking on the phone with someone with Pius by his side.
She walked over to him with” I’m not in the mood face “Devil Anderson”. The man didn’t even spare her a glance but continued his discussion with Pius.
“Where you the person who applied the ointment to my body?” Pius quickly excused them and found his way out.
“You must be disappointed since it wasn’t your very handsome boyfriend” he paused and then said “nothing happened between us.” Ariel was slightly surprised. Was he explaining things to her?
“I’m not explaining, don’t behave the way you did last night, I don’t want to take care of you again. I’m not a nanny” Rex’s tone was clearly unhappy. “You will get into unnecessary trouble this way if you continue to act rashly. There are a lot of things to deal with at the company. You still have strength to get up today. What if the next time you over exert yourself and you can’t get up? I might be able to help you once or twice if those shareholders cause trouble for you. But I can’t always be there to help you. Ariel, you can make use of that brain of yours”
Although Ariel knew that she had reacted badly and didn’t rest well yesterday, causing the great young master of the Anderson to take care of her and make a big deal out of it.
Was there a need to reprimand her like that? When it was his entire fault? If he had not brought his mistress home she wouldn’t have had to stump her feet for over an hour and then sleep on the sofa after wearing heels for hours at the banquet.
Can she win against him?
“Alright, I won’t over react again, okay”. Ariel didn’t want to talk to him, so she turned around and walked away.
“You should check out the document on the table” Rex said.
She turned back and picked up the document, her eyes widened in shock when she saw what was inside.
“That’s Mr. Louis’s information; his contact and other details that you need are there”
“….”
Ariel blanked out when she saw Mr. Louis information’s.
“Did your business teacher not teach you that in the business world, making friends is not about you drinking two glasses of wine and chatting for a few minutes? If you want to make friends in the business world, you will have to dig dirt on the person and hold onto their weakness, and boom they will naturally come and please you, they won’t even allow you to take the initiative.”
She flipped through the pages of the document, her eyes widened in shock. How did Rex get his hand on such documents?
“You mean I should threaten him with this document? If I did such a thing, wouldn’t it be too despicable?”
“If you don’t put your mentality aside and act the right way, you will never be successful in the business world. And this is not despicable, it’s called the shortcut to becoming a successful business partner. Besides, it’s not that the things in the document that you will threaten him with are fabricated, he did them” He paused then continues “by using those tricks to get him into partnership. Vice president Ann, what’s despicable there?”
Ariel dropped the folder. “You are way out of your mind. I’ve also noticed that you tend to say too many bad things and do things that are against the law.”
She wasn’t lying.
“Since you think my logic of getting things done is unlawful, just ignore it! It’s fine if you do not want the document, but I don’t want to hear you call me despicable again”. Rex immediately picked up the folder and was about to tear it up.
Ariel quickly took it back with a smile. “It has not gotten to that, I didn’t say you are despicable.. I didn’t understand it before and now that you have explained it to me, I now understand the business world better. You’re right and your logic is the best.”
“We will be leaving for the Anderson villa” Rex said as he sat in his wheelchair.
Ariel pulled on his wheelchair. “At the banquet yesterday I met a woman and she seemed to be very familiar with you.”
“Oh, really? Instead of meeting people to gossip, why don’t you call your business teacher over so you can learn a few things”, Rex said coldly. “Everybody in Oakland is familiar with Rex Anderson. The crippled devil, have you forgotten that so soon?”
“Do you think it would be okay if something like that happened and I didn’t tell you about it?” She had wanted to keep it to herself but she told him anyway.
