Aria Ann reclined in her chair, dragging her legs as her heart ached even more. Even when she tried to sit down and finish her work, she found that her mind was not at ease. She would occasionally glance at the door in the hopes that Rex Anderson would be knocking. Her heart sank when the man she was expecting did not show up.
Just the day prior, Maria Smith was here. Why have she and this man come here?
Her thoughts were so disorganized that she could not stay in her chair when she was about to open the door. Pius came back to find Ariel Ann keeping guard at the door, tense as if she anticipated a visitor.
“Young Mistress, is everything alright?”
“Yes, yes, Pius, everything is fine,” she stuttered.
“The office is stuffy, so I feel I should go out to get some air.”
Pius looked at her, stunned, as he could see right through her lies.
“Continue with your calculations; I’ll be back in a while.”
“Yes, young mistress.” Pius nodded slightly and suddenly remembered something: “Young mistress, you have a meeting in thirty minutes.”
Ariel Ann paused by the door. “Thank you. I won’t stay long. I’m just going out for a bit.”
Pius scrutinized Ariel Ann as he turned to the office, and just as he was about to continue his work, he received a call from Rex Anderson, “Is the young mistress in the office?”
“She stepped out.”
“Her whereabouts!”
“The young mistress said she was not going to take long before she came back; she went out to get some air.”
“Where’s her phone? Has she not brought it up with her? Pius raised his head to look at her table, noting the phone there and remarking, “She left it behind, sir.” “Left her phone? Go find her for me. I’m eager to see her right away. Yes, young master, one more thing. Your uncle might not be returning at this time, according to a message I received from Dubai. Amanda suddenly collapsed. ”
“What a cunny woman!” Rex laughed.
Ariel Ann rushed to the first floor to look for Rex Anderson and Maria Smith, but unfortunately, they had both disappeared. She pursed her lips, feeling ridiculous.
She mocked herself, wondering why she would rush down to see the man. What business does the man have to do with her that she has to go and find him? She felt stupid.
The Anderson family business belongs to Anderson’s family. Rex would be willing to bring anyone along. What does that have to do with me?
She suddenly turned around to return to her office. However, the moment she set her foot on the elevator, she saw a pair of smiling eyes.
Why does he always have to show his face before me?
“Look who we have here? I heard you rejected my offer of food. Ariel sigh.
“Andrea Anderson, have you forgotten this is a company? Please stop all the things you’re doing that can easily cause people to misunderstand our relationship.”
“You are my sister-in-law, so what? I have to care whether you eat or not.” Andrea Anderson looked at Ariel with the wrong expression.
“We in the Anderson family are united. We know how to take care of each other and watch each other’s backs.”
Oh, really, screw your mutual love.
“Andrea Anderson, you as the acting CEO should know little things-little things you should do and not do, right? I don’t want to be involved in any scandal with you; people will go crazy if they see us together.”
“Tell me, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that my cousin will find out?”
It’s obvious this evil man is plotting to have me thrown out of the Anderson.
“Andrea Anderson, what exactly are you trying to do? You intentionally wanted people to misunderstand so that you could chase me out of the Anderson family, right?” He smiled.
“If I had wanted to kick you out, I would have done that from the very first day you stepped foot in the company. I’m not going to do it. Although I’m a bit interested in you because you are similar to my ex-girlfriend, Ariel looks at him in shock and says, “Your ex-girlfriend?”
“Oh yes, I have an ex-girlfriend. Is it that surprising?” She scoffed and waved a hand.
“It’s not that you have an ex-girlfriend that’s surprised me, but what surprises me is that when you said ex-girlfriend just now, I caught the deep love in your eyes, Andrea Anderson, as a playboy. You actually have deep feelings for her in your eyes; shouldn’t I be surprised?”
“Yeah, I did have a girlfriend, but she’s too greedy, so she died,” he said with a smirk.
Ariel felt a shiver rush down her spine.
“Her greed killed her.”
With that, Andrea Anderson walked out of the elevator and parted her shoulders while she stood in shock.
It seems she heard an unfortunate story today; she returned to her office.
Just as she pushed open the door, she saw Rex Anderson sitting in his wheelchair.
She looked at him, shocked, like a child caught doing something bad.
“You, why are you here?” Rex wheeled himself towards her. “Tell me, where are you coming from? What did you do?” Rex Anderson answers her questions.
“I… I just stepped out to use the bedroom.” Ariel Ann blinks twice.
She wanted to tell the man she had seen him with Maria Smith at the company and ran over to ask him why they had come, but she could not bring herself to do so.
“Mrs Anderson, You’re terrible at lying; it takes so long to get to the bathroom. Besides, there’s one here.” Rex Anderson narrowed his eyes and looked at her doubtfully.
“Devil Anderson, am I not even permitted to go to the restroom wherever I like?”
Ariel Ann looks at her watch. “I have a meeting in ten minutes, and you still haven’t told me the reason why you came to the company.”
“Maria Smith kept begging me that she wants to work with the Anderson family; I want her to work directly with you; this can be considered one of your achievements, so I brought her here.” Rex Anderson frowns slightly. “In the end, you weren’t here; she left because she had something to do.”
“Oh, so that was it.”
“Alright, I will make an appointment for that later; you can go to your meeting first.”
Ariel Ann curled her lips and left on her 4. 5-inch-high heels.
