Chapter 121 - BROTHERS WITH THE SAME WAY OF THINKING
However, Giana insisted that she herself would deliver the tiara to Ramon.
She still couldn't understand how Ramon could just ignore her and let her wait during the party and just walk away without meeting her, even when Giana had clearly said that she would be waiting on the balcony.
And as if to make things worse, instead of Ramon, Hailee was the one to appear there.
Of course their conversation didn't go well and Giana had to take a bitter pill when she found out that Ramon had just went home, leaving the party altogether.
That's too much!
No...
The current Ramon had forgot everything about Giana, so what he did on that party night was understandably natural.
It was just that Giana felt frustrated by this fact along with Ramon's attitude toward her that changed rather drastically. In addition, his marriage is only a matter of few days, while Giana doesn't know what to do to stop it from happening even now.
"Just do it Dillon, and don't question my decisions over and over." Giana growled. She tightly clutched the glass case in which the tiara was kept, while an impulsive urge to throw it across the room to vent out her long- kept anger was suffocating her whole being.
She was still not sure, either the anger was aimed at Ramon or at her own husband who continued his affair.
Giana felt very angry at everything that happened in her life.
"Giana, you are not in your right mind, think about this again." Dillon gave advice as a friend, not as a personal assistant who would obey all of this woman's wishes.
"Dillon, you have no right to make rules for me!" This time Giana snapped at him rather harsh than usual.
However, Dillon did not flinch with his decision. "I will postpone this for three days later. Tell me your decision at that time and now I want you to calm yourself down. Don't make decisions when you are overwhelmed with emotions like this."
Dillon tried to advise Giana, but the woman cursed him with such harsh words that it made him flinch when he heard her.
When he could no longer tolerate those words, Dillon chose to walk out of the room, leaving Giana there alone.
==============
"Okay, my love ..." For some reason, Hailee fixed that little endearment as her nickname for Ramon. Either she was mocking Ramon or she just really liked him, but for sure, the word 'my love' would always slip off her lips effortlessly. "I will be right back."
Hailee tidied her look in front of the mirror and put on her pink lipstick one last time.
After she confirmed that her appearance was okay and proper, she quickly walked over to Ramon, who was lying on the bed eating the fruit that Hailee had peeled earlier.
"Lexus is on his way here, if he asks, just tell him I am getting some clean clothes for you, okay?" Hailee winked at him while linking her index finger and thumb.
"You only want to meet a reporter to leak some information, but why do you look like you are going out with a man?" Ramon squinted his eyes, seeing how enthusiastic Hailee was to meet this person.
Hearing Ramon's statement, Hailee laughed and landed a kiss on the cheek of this frowning man.
"You never asked me out, so you can't compare." Hailee commented. "Ask me out on a date, then you will find out what I would look like while going to one..."
Hailee glanced flirtatiously and immediately ran for the door when she saw Ramon wrinkle his nose in displeasure.
The girl fled before Ramon could say; I will never ask you out on a date, cause that's what this guy will say, just like when Hailee asked him to propose to her.
Slowly, Hailee had started to read Ramon's gestures...
==============
"Is it true?" Ben Kingstone questioned the veracity of Hailee's words.
The two of them finally decided to meet at a restaurant near the hospital where Ramon was being treated, as suggested by the man.
Her husband was indeed very understanding and smart.
And since Hailee didn't have much time to entertain a small talk, she directly got straight to the point.
"You could publish it without any hesitations, for you got me as your news source," Hailee said calmly, her childishly spoiled attitude when she was with Ramon earlier, was gone.
Now she was showing professionalism, making everything she said even more credible and trustworthy.
Indeed, Hailee did not come from the Tordoff family or other elite families in town A, but with her family background, of course she had got all the proper lessons in dealing with various kinds of formal situations and in dealing with several people for business matters.
"May I mention Mr. Tordoff too?" Ben Kingstone asked carefully. The names Ramon Tordoff and Hailee, will certainly attract interest from various circles, especially when it comes to the cancellation of their wedding rings.
Of course this will cause problems for Tatum Jewelry as well as Hailee's uncle and adoptive sister.
"You're going to write about Ramon too?" Hailee furrowed her brows faintly and folded her arms across her chest, while Ben Kingstone explained why using the name Ramon Tordofff in the article would be more interesting and how it could definitely produce the results Hailee wanted; a splashy news. "... by just mentioning his name." Ben Kingstone ended his long speech.
He could have used Ramon Tordoff's name in the story right away, without telling Hailee first.
But, if Ramon Tordoff was offended later... Ben Kingstone didn't even want to imagine what the tycoon could do to get him to pull the news down.
On the other hand, Hailee also had the same thoughts.
Even though this may sound trivial, but Hailee didn't want to make a decision for Ramon and just use his name recklessly...
"Send me the article you are going to publish first, if Ramon has no problem with it, then you can continue." In the end, Hailee decided so, because she didn't want to take the risk.
"Very well," Ben Kingstone agreed. "Fair enough, and I will have it delivered by tomorrow morning."
"Okay."
And the short conversation between them ended there.
==============
Lexus stared at the apple that was on the table, beside Ramon's bed, with a wrinkled forehead and pouty lips.
"Who made that apple in the shape of a rabbit? So childish," Lexus pursed his lips, putting down a large bag of food for Ramon.
And since the table he was going to put the groceries on had a plate filled with the rabbit- shaped apples, he had to pick it up, with the intention of throwing the cute rabbits away.
However, Ramon stopped him.
"Where do you thin kyou are taking my apples?" Ramon asked tonelessly, his sharp eyes staring at the plate in Lexus' hand. And even though he was still a little pale with an IV attached to his hand, Ramon still managed to get Lexus nervous because of his unfriendly tone.
"You are not serious about eating this, are you?" Lexus glanced at the plate in his hand. He couldn't imagine Ramon eating fruits that were cut in such cute shape.
Besides, what was Hailee even thinking? Until she bothered to cut them like this? Yes,that girl was creative when it came to food, but wouldn't her efforts be all for naught if her recipient didn't even want to touch them?
"Yes, I will eat them," Ramon answered with a flat expression, making Lexus' mouth go gaping wide.
"You are not serious, are you?" Lexus narrowed his eyes probing at Ramon, he really couldn't help wondering how this stiff and unfriendly brother could possibly be associated with the apple rabbits in his hands?
"Put the plate where it belongs," Ramon said in a rigid voice, ignoring the expression of disbelief that plastered Lexus' face.
Okay, this is really annoying ... Lexus feel like he doesn't know Ramon anymore.
Was this the effect of his amnesia or because of the influence of Hailee? However, they have already been in a relationship for two years, so there was no way this brother was just acting weird now.
So, the odds must be because of the amnesia.
While worrying about his brother's unusual change, Lexus started walking toward the table beside Ramon again and returned the plate filled with apples to its previous place, while for the food he was carrying, he found a different table to place it down.
"Oh, yeah ... by the way, where is Hailee?" Lexus just realized that Hailee wasn't around.
"She is picking up clean clothes," Ramon lied with a flat face and Lexus simply believed him.
"Oh ..."
Didn't Ramon just have to ask someone to deliver the clothes? No need for Hailee to personally take it.
However, Lexus said nothing about this matter ...
==============
After Hailee finished her business with Ben Kingstone, she immediately returned to the hospital and found Ramon who had fallen asleep while Lexus was playing games on his cellphone.
"Hey, where have you been?" Lexus asked, glancing up briefly from his cellphone, but then he returned to focus on his game.
"Picking up clean clothes," Hailee put down a small bag containing Ramon's clean clothes, which Charles had delivered earlier. They had met in the lobby of the hospital when Hailee had just arrived.
"Ramon had his dinner?" Hailee then threw her body next to Lexus and stretched her aching waist.
"Of course," Lexus replied without looking up from the game he was playing.
"He just slept?"
"About an hour ago?"
"Mom coming here?"
"No, she is on out of town, but will be back by plane at the earliest."
Lately, Lis is almost always out of town and rarely at home, it seems that she is more interested in taking care of their subsidiary in S city.
However, no one suspected this.
"Have you eaten?"
GAME OVER.
The two words flashed on the screen of the Lexus cellphone, which finally made him lift his head and stare at Hailee in annoyance, while the girl just gave him an innocent, sinless smile, as if to say that it was completely not her fault.
"What?" Hailee asked, while suppressing a smile.
"You are annoying," Lexus said.
"Your brother said that too, but he liked me in the end, so I will assume that is your way of expressing your liking to other people," Hailee answered him lightly, shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly.
Lexus who heard that, squinted his eyes while grimacing. "Seriously, I don't understand your way of thinking, really."
"That's what Ramon said too." This time Hailee laughed out loud, until her body was shaking. These two brothers really have the same way of thinking at certain times.
