Chapter 191: SHOCKING NEWS
"Then, what about the secret that Giana knows? Do you believe that?" Hailee asked about the most important issue out of what Ramon had told her.
Hearing this question, Ramon did not immediately answer her. He paused for a moment to think about the decisions and plans he had made regarding this matter.
"I will investigate it first," Ramon finally said, because he didn't have a more specific answer than this. And also because he had rejected Giana's invitation to have dinner together, in order for her to tell more details about what he had told her. So, this investigation was likely to be quite time consuming.
After all, Liz was his mother, and whatever Ramon would find later might be something he didn't expect.
Or… Giana was just spewing nonsense to lure Ramon, to bond with him again.
Regardless, Ramon should investigate this matter more deeply.
"But, what kind of secret might you have regarding your own mother?" Hailee muttered while looking at Ramon, who was looking back at her.
But, from the look in her husband's eyes, Hailee could tell that Ramon was thinking about something else. He had this complicated look that often reflected in his dark and mysterious eyes on.
At this point, Hailee was quite pleased with herself that she was able to read this small change, which meant that she had gotten to know Ramon one step further than when they first met.
"I am not sure," Ramon said in a thoughtful voice, then looked back at Hailee. This time his gaze focused on the woman in front of him.
Meanwhile, Hailee seemed to be deep in thought, as if she was struggling with her own thoughts. "Do you want to meet Giana to clarify this?" Hailee finally asked reluctantly.
Actually, she didn't want to come up with that choice, but from what Ramon had just said, it seemed like this was a serious problem and Giana had an answer to it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing Hailee's offer, Ramon raised his eyebrows, but a smile became evident on his lips when he saw how unwilling Hailee looked while making that choice. "Are you serious about letting me meet Giana again?" he teased her, as he knew what Hailee truly felt right now, since her expression was quite easy to read...
"Why not? I am fine." Lie. And it clearly noticeable from the small frown on Hailee's forehead.
"We had such a meaningless fight just because Giana met me, so I can't imagine how you will react if I called her and planned a meeting together." Ramon touched Hailee's cheek and smiled knowingly.
An unplanned meeting alone had angered Hailee so much that she even changed rooms. Then, what if Ramon actually planned one? Although this was an offer from Hailee herself.
Maybe this was a test? Ramon never paid attention to the meaningless babble that Lexus brought up at times, that women liked to test the loyalty of their partners. Perhaps, this was also what Hailee was doing now, considering that this woman was the most random minded person Ramon had ever met.
"I am fine," Hailee said, but the corners of her lips twitched as she was holding back her reluctance.
"Is this a test for me?" Ramon asked. His hands played with the ends of Hailee's curly hair. "To see if I will turn to Giana at the first chance you give me?"
Hailee pursed her lips at that. "Of course not. This is because I think this secret is really important for you to know."
"I will find another way to get information about it," Ramon said while kissing Hailee on the forehead lightly and felt that the annoying feeling that he had felt before had disappeared.
His heart felt lighter, knowing they were no longer in a cold war and had a silent treat toward one another.
Ramon neither knew, nor could he remember how he treated Giana throughout their two years of relationship, but what he was doing now with Hailee and having his wife by his side, felt right.
And also…
With this situation, Ramon became even more convinced that something was not right with whatever that happened during the four years that he had forgotten. There seemed to be some crucial things that had happened during those four years and now Ramon intended to investigate everything, starting with his own mother.
"So, you will sleep in this room?" Ramon's serious expression immediately changed, as he reminded Hailee that she was in the wrong room.
Hailee's face flushed slightly when she heard him and it reminded her of her childish decision to change rooms instead of solving this problem by approaching Ramon and discussing it.
"Yes, for tonight I will sleep in this room." Hailee then pushed Ramon back until the man fell on the bed and she was lying on top of him. "But, you will also sleep here."
Ramon laughed at Hailee's slightly pushy statement, but his laughter was drowned in the warm kiss that Hailee gave him. This forced the two of them to focus on other, more important matters ...
==============
Dillon couldn't understand what was really going on in Giana's head at this moment. He understood that the problem this woman was facing was very heavy, but that didn't mean that Giana could act as she pleased without thinking about the worst possible consequences for her actions.
Two hours ago Dillon got a call from Giana, and just from the woman's voice, there was no need for any further explanation to say that she was really drunk!
How could Giana allow herself to so depress and act very impulsive like that? Didn't she think of the possibility that there would be a paparazzi that could see her and spread her photos being in such condition?
Not to mention the news of her divorce which was still yet to be published. Giana's reputation and good name were at stake here. However, it seemed that all the rationality in that woman's mind had simply vanished.
He didn't know what happened when Giana met Ramon until she ended up at a bar table, dead drunk. But, whatever it was, it was certain that the coercive meeting didn't go well.
Since Giana was in a different city, it would take Dillon quite some time to reach her.
Therefore, it was only two hours later that he was able to find the bar Giana was referring to on his phone. It was really hard to understand where one was when you talked to them while they were hopelessly drunk.
Dillon didn't care about the hustle and bustle around him or the people dancing wildly. This was a local bar, where the people around had came from lower social circles and have a social status far below theirs, so the main thing Dillon was most worried about was Giana's safety.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnly after seeing that Giana was fine, did he take a more relieved breath. Well, you couldn't really say he was fine when he found the woman fell asleep with her head facedown on the bar table alone.
The relief that Dillon just felt immediately disappeared when he saw Giana's poor condition.
How could the daughter of a prominent family and also the wife of Aidan Smith, end up drunk heavily in a local bar in a far away place, alone?
Dillon was furious after seeing how Giana wasted herself like this, even though he understood what had caused it.
"Giana," Dillon called out to the woman in a louder voice to overcome the deafening boom of music behind him.
Meanwhile, Giana did not respond and let Dillon say a few more words until the man gave up and decided to pay for her drinks and then carried herself away from the place.
Even though this was not the first time Dillon had carried Giana in a drunken state, the awkwardness in the air was still evident. He never thought that he and Giana would end up in a situation like now when he was first selected to be her personal assistant.
However, time had completely changed everything and with so much going on between the two of them and in the environment, Dillon no longer knew the boundaries between work and personal life, when it came to Giana.
Because all those boundary lines had dissolved and vanished with what had happened between the two of them on Crestgold Island the other day.
It was just that, without Dillon knowing, someone from the corner of the room had been observing Giana and alreadytook some of her photos before Dillon even got there.
And when he saw Dillon carrying Giana out of the bar, several times you could hear a low sound of the shutter clicking from the camera he was holding, now capturing photos of the two of them.
Without further ado, he followed Dillon into the parking area, without difficulty as Dillon's focus was on Giana alone.
The mysterious man also followed Dillon's car out of the bar parking area and followed him to his apartment in town A, where Dillon took Giana inside and didn't leave until early morning.
This mysterious man of course knew that Dillon was Giana's personal assistant. But even so, wouldn't it be more plausible that he brought Giana back to the Smith residence? Instead of taking her into his own apartment?
This was an interesting thing to investigate, and besides that, this was also a huge piece of news that would become a trending topic, if it was published in the mass media.
This person was very sure that it would be a hit!
