Aiden, Mav, and Sam got back into the car. No one tried to stop them when they were going, it was like they were already informed. " Boss, you were so cool back there!" Mav and Sam praised Aiden, with bright smile. " Please teach us!" They both begged and instantly went down on their knees. They didn't care if anyone was watching them, or not! " Please....boss!" Sam pouted and clapped his hands together. " Pretty please!" " Yes boss, teach us those skills!" Mav added and also joined Sam in acting like a child begging for candy. Aiden "....." " Are you two nuts?!" Aiden stared down at them and smacked his head slightly. He wasn't expecting this, and he found it quite annoying. " Boss......" The two men called out, but Aiden ignored them. Aiden just strode past them and turned on his phone. Instantly, Sam and Mav ran after him. They could sense he was pissed off, and they felt guilty. Maybe, it was wrong to demand that. " If you two say anything once more, I wil
Hearing this, the waiter had no choice but to call the manager. How could he leave the woman alone in the bar?! " What is it?!" The manager asked irritatedly from the other side. He was displeased and mad at been disturbed. " Sir, am sorry to disturb you, but there is a problem," the waiter said, with all due respect, and he looked towards the drunk woman. " A problem? What's going on?" The manager frowned, and his anger dropped down a bit. " There is a drunk woman here at the VIP section. She has been drinking for over five hours, and now that it's time for me to close the bar, she doesn't want to leave," the waiter explained seriously, with a solemn look. The manager was slightly stunned, but he shook his head, believing it is nothing serious. " Just chase her out! Or, do something." " I already did sir, but she refused. The woman is too stubborn, and I don't want to hurt her. She might be a big shot," the waiter answered the manager immediately, and he became m
Soon, Aiden and Stella got home, but still none of them said anything. Stella was the first to alighted from the car, and instantly she was welcomed with a very tight hug. " Oh Stella, you are back!" Lady Irish exclaimed happily, and her face brightened. She beamed and started checking Stella's body out. " Are you okay? Do you feel pain anywhere?"" She bombarded her daughter with questions upon questions. Stella just shook her head negatively, but she was already fatigued. " No mom, am fine. There is nothing to worry about," she tried to answer her mother, but her tone was lazy and flat. " Are you sure?" Lady Irish was really worried, and it was evident through her face and voice. Seeing her daughter like this, her heart arched, but she could only comfort her and make her happy. Stella exhaled and nodded. " Yes Mom." She stepped away from her mother and turned towards the villa. " I need to rest now." Lady Irish's eyes dimmed because of what Stell
Stella choked out and covered her face. She couldn't stop herself from tearing up, and she leaned closer to Lady Irish. Lady Irish didn't say anything, she wanted to let her daughter expressed herself out first, before anything else. She patted her daughter's back tenderly, wanting to encourage her. " It Aiden!" She bursted out, with tears streaming out from her eyes, and she sniffed out loudly. " What happened?" Lady Irish was puzzled and thought maybe Aiden hurt Stella. This thought made her wore a displeased face, and she shook her head." He hates me! He hate everything about me!!" Stella clenched her fists tightly, still crying out. A look of bitterness flashed across her eyes. She really didn't expect a rejection was going to hurt like this. This was when Lady Irish finally understood what was going on, and she shook her head, sympathizing with her daughter. " Oh Stella, I don't think he hates you, " she assured her and sighed. " You know how you have acted towa
Aiden strode calmly to his seat, and at the same time, everyone's eyes followed every of his movement. The whole hall was wrapped in nothing, but deafening silence. Most of them had already witnessed what Aiden is capable of doing, and the amount of power he wielded. In fact, most of them had ignored the rumors about him being a useless son in law but not totally. Finally, the meeting commenced. " Ahem!" Cole cleared his throat and adjusted his dark suit. " Aiden, why did you call this sudden meeting? Do you have an idea that everybody is actually busy?" Cole tried to be polite, but his tone and attitude betrayed him. Everyone could clearly sense the hostility in his voice, but they couldn't say anything. " So?" Aiden looked up at him in a discourteous manner. He didn't move his gaze away from him but stared more at him. He could guess Cole was up to something, but he needed evidence, like a real solid one. Cole turned furious and gritted his teeth. He wanted to r
" Stella, you are saying all that because he is your husband! Don't mix emotions with this!" One of the shareholders heard what Stella said just now, and he snapped annoyingly. " Yes Stella, it not fair to defend him because he is your husband! The company is at risk here, you have to put your lovey dovey aside first," another shareholder intervened, replying to Stella's words, and he shook his head, refusing to agree with her. " What do you mean?" Stella was confounded, and she wondered what they were implying. She was displeased to hear that, and she furrowed her brows deeply. " No, that's not true! You are getting it all wrong. Yes, he is my husband, but I am only saying the truth. Aiden will surely take care of this, you all just have to trust him. Hasn't he prove himself?" " Prove himself my foot!" " Pftt! What a good wife you are, defending your husband publicly......oh, I really envy you guys!" The shareholders still refused to believe Stella's words, and they ev
The moment Cole and Andrew got outside of the conference room, Cole was dragged unexpectedly to a corner. " Hey! Who are you?!" Cole was astonished, and he widened his eyes, as he tried to struggle free. " Let me go!" Andrew looked back and noticed Cole was gone. " Hhm weird," he muttered and knitted his brows slightly, wondering when Cole left his side. But he didn't think much about and just shrugged his shoulders. Cole wanted to shout and say something, but his mouth was muffled by someone unknown. This made him unable to call for help, and he cleaned his fists desperately. Finally, the person stepped back slightly away from him and uncovered his mouth. " Stella?!" Cole blinked his eyes multiple times and looked around. He was really astonished to see Stella was the one who dragged him away. Stella stared Cole, as if she wanted to hit him till death, and she crossed her arms over her chest. " Don't think I don't know what you are doing?!" She said in a very low tone
Aiden's fingers finally stopped moving on the keyboard, and he slowly lifted up his gaze from the screen to Mav. " Boss....." Mav lowered his head and stepped back subtly in a nervous manner. He didn't know why, but Aiden's gaze just freaked the hell out of him! He really felt terrified! " Mav, is that your new duty now?" Aiden asked calmly, as his brows formed a straight line, shifting all his attention now to his assistant. " Boss... " Mav called Aiden again, his gaze still facing the ground, and he tried not to answer Aiden's question. Aiden was impatient, and he twisted his lips, " Answer me." His voice was soft, but deep, full of authority. " No sir!" Mav hurriedly denied, shaking his head in a negative manner. He didn't want to be on Aiden's bad list. Aiden just stared at him but said nothing. His silence was enough for Mav and those who really knew him already understand what his silence means. " I will leave now." Mav said with shaky voice, bowing at the same
