A few hours had passed, and Ahren felt bored outside waiting for Clayton. She couldn't believe that this meeting would take 3 hours.She exhaled, fiddling with her phone to look up something that might give her an idea, just to relax her brain. Then, an incoming message came from Melani, who was his secretary.The message only reported that everything was fine even though it was a holiday, but the woman was already working on several unexpected proposals."Is this meeting still long?" Ahren asked herself, she looked at the door, but it didn't open. "It seems like this meeting is still long. Maybe I should take a little walk."Ahren finally stood up from the seat, and just as she did so, a man was in front of her, stopping her footsteps, which made Ahren notice the man in front of her.They both looked at each other, and the man apparently extended his hand. "Good afternoon, Miss Ahren, I am Benjamin, glad to see you here."Seeing his polite demeanor, Ahren immediately welcomed the man
Ahren was surprised that Clayton had told his secretary to leave before them. Clayton and Ahren were still standing in the same place, holding hands."She also has her own business, after all this is our time to relax together. How about we go for a walk?" Clayton asked Ahren with a calm smile.Ahren nodded her head. She felt happy with the offer given by her husband. They then came out of this large building. Several people who were businessmen that Ahren knew quite well saw the two of them, but they did not say anything.They got into the car, and Ahren put on her safety belt. "Where are we having lunch?" asked Ahren.She was pretty curious about that. There were many places that she had actually never been to at all. Going together with her husband might be the right choice."Anywhere you want. Just tell me where you want to be." Clayton apparently didn't know their destination either. It made Ahren exhale a little because it turned out that Clayton hadn't prepared anything for her
His life had become very bad after people discovered that Ahren was working with the Arnould family while the Astor family had been abandoned. Then, it was even worse because Austin, her brother, was also dragged away and considered a fraud there. It also affected Bella, they said that Bella must be no different from Austin.While playing on her social media, she saw some things that annoyed her. The people who had always been under her feet and she easily trampled on and always avoided them were showing off annoying luxuries."This can't be!" Bella fumed in her room. "You damn woman!" Bella raised her voice even more and saw what Elle had posted.Even though she had talked about this to Ramon, the head of the Astor family, they couldn't do anything either. I was just saying, wait, Ahren and Clayton didn't have anything. That's when they would do more humiliation than before.But she couldn't calm down because she ran into the two people she hated just when she wanted to calm herself
Peace of mind was what Ahren wanted. She also didn't want to think about the actor's family, who had disappointed her. She felt her life would be fine if she didn't care about or think about them. But that was wrong, they suddenly came to her company's office, which made the mood uncomfortable.Ahren did not want to meet them and did not want to make a scene now. When she was about to leave the office building, she immediately shifted her footsteps in another direction, and it was too late. Flori and Diana caught up with her with fast footsteps. The two women caught Ahren's hand, which stopped Ahren from moving."What are my two aunts doing here?" Ahren dismissed both of their hands, rubbing her hands and looking at them coldly.She didn't like the arrival of these two people disturbing her peace. They should have understood in their last meeting that I'm already a very bad flower. The two women also came with sharp eyes. They did not look friendly to this woman even though they were
Clayton picked up his wife. He hadn't left the car yet, but Ahren was soon in. She sat down hurriedly with her face bent.Clayton obviously knew something was bothering his wife. He waited a few seconds, and just as he expected, Ahren immediately spoke about what was bothering her. "Did you know Aunt Flori and Diana came up to me earlier and she was raving about how insolent we are?"She sighed at that for a moment. Then she pressed her forehead a few times. "She wanted so badly to embarrass me with my employees, she made a mess in there but it all came back on them." Ahren looked back at her husband. Aldrich listened and nodded. It shouldn't be his wife who should be embarrassed. Ahren was straight and hard-working. She was a smart person. Someone who just wanted to ask without thinking she had benefited others had a very shameful attitude."Catch your breath. They don't trust those two people so just calm down." Clayton helped Ahren to calm herself down. He modeled how to inhale and
"Don't you see the hole in front of you?" Clayton pulled Ahren, away from the sinkhole that was in front of them, it was open like never before.There were some ropes tied up to block walkers from going in there. It's just that Ahren didn't realize that and was surprised. It seemed that she could not think clearly because she was so shocked by Clayton's question earlier."I really didn't realize..." Ahren looked at the hole in front of her, if she had entered there, she would have suffered a wound that might have been severe.Her heart was pounding now. Luckily, she was still safe because he was pulled by Clayton."Ahren, what were you thinking about?" Clayton watched Ahren. The woman restrained herself from talking as if she was thinking about the kiss that Clayton had said.She now shook her head. "Not something important." Then she went back to walking again.Clayton followed her, not wanting her to lose her focus again to the point where she could fall or otherwise endanger herse
A friendly man suddenly lowered the umbrella he was using, then looked at Clayton with such a sharp look in his eyes that it seemed he was surprised.Clayton faced him. He looked at the man in front of him up and down repeatedly, but he couldn't remember who was calling him."Sir, so you know my husband." Ahren finally spoke briefly because he wanted to know the actual situation that was going on here right now.It also felt so strange that the man was so focused on Clayton while her husband seemed to be in confusion, therefore immediately responding to what the man said. But because of Ahren's words, the man looked at Ahren and then at Clayton repeatedly in an extraordinary manner.He showed a sense of wonder as he stared at Ahren. "You're saying that this man is your husband?" His tone of voice clearly showed that he didn't believe it. Ahren nodded her head. There was nothing wrong with that. Why was this man she had just met acting so strange?The man looked down, wiped his face, a
He was watching from the window of his room, his eyes looked calm and his face showed no change of expression at all, even though he had arrived at his house and was now in the room watching the situation outside, the rain had not stopped.Ahren finally placed a glass of hot tea in front of Clayton. It brought Clayton to look at his wife. "Do you still remember that guy from earlier?" Ahren brought up the matter earlier. She also asked like that because she realized that her husband seemed to be thinking about that matter."I haven't remembered everything. It's confusing." he picked up the glass before her and drank Ajren's tea.Ahren watched him and didn't want to make a fuss about Clayton's current situation. She knew this was a complicated matter, and she also had to make Clayton not be looked down upon by others. If she spread the information carelessly, it was the same as embarrassing her husband.There was a business card given by Liam on the table, and Clayton glanced at it. He
