Chapter 251 - THE FACT (2)
"What are you trying to do?" Dillon squinted his eyes, looking at Giana inquisitively. For some reason, Dillon felt that something about this woman had changed.
Giana seemed to be starting to open her heart to Dillon and considering their relationship and was even willing to be seen in public together, despite the rumors circulating out there regarding the news of Giana's affair with him, which was the root of the breakdown of Aidan's household.
Despite everything, Dillon felt that Giana was being distant, not physically, but het attitude was always perfunctory and cold. He didn't know why he had this strange feeling when they had just had a hot night together. But, that was how Dillon felt.
Giana seemed to mask her emotions too perfectly to leave a gap and all this woman showed was just a charade.
Or… is this just Dillon's feeling? Had he read too much into their situation? Until coming to such a conclusion?
Dillon didn't want Giana to get hurt at all; he wanted to show her how she should be loved, not like Aidan who cheated her with another woman or like Ramon who just left her. All Dillon wanted was Giana to feel loved properly.
However, Giana was blinded by her own feelings and ambitions...
"I have an important meeting to attend," said Giana, trying to pull her hand out of Dillon's tight grip, but the man ignored her efforts and kept holding her so she couldn't leave, making Giana unable to move and finally sitting back on the bed to give him a proper explanationt.
"I don't remember that you had an important meeting this morning," Dillon said after going through Giana's schedule in his mind. Because after all, he was her personal assistant and everything in Giana's schedule of activities was at the top of his list of things he had to remember.
"I called the three largest shareholders in the company to see me this morning," Giana replied softly, rubbing Dillon's cheek to calm down the man a little. "Nothing to worry about. I'm only going to meet the three of them, you don't need to come with me."
Dillon looked at Giana with a deep gaze.
It wasn't that he didn't believe her, but something was bothering him and Dillon needed to confirm this.
"Give me ten minutes to get ready. We're going to the office together." Dillon then got off the bed and kissed Giana's forehead, before he rushed off.
"You don't have to do that," Giana protested. For some reason, she didn't want Dillon to follow her.
================
Hailee didn't understand why someone wanted to kill Ramon by using Ian. Isn't it very clear that whoever ordered Ian, would have known that he was close to Hailee, making it easier for him to get close to Ramon.
But, who would dare to take such a step? Hailee wasn't sure that the mastermind of the plot was someone she knew.
Because if it was the case, why was Ramon the one they were after?
Therefore, what was more likely was; The mastermind of the plan was Ramon's enemy.
Ramon had indeed said this several times, how serious and important the security around them was, but until now Hailee had not taken it too seriously because she had never experienced being threatened this seriously.
If that was the case, then the assumption of Ramon's car accident that caused him to lose his memory was not true and everything related to the incident was a fabrication which couldn't be taken lightly.
"Ah." Hailee groaned in discomfort, she suddenly felt pain in her stomach. It was only for a moment, but this made her realize that she was thinking too deeply about the problems that were swarming her in this condition.
"Are you okay Mrs. Tordoff?" asked one of the maids who saw Hailee holding her stomach with knitted brows and a pained expression.
"It does not matter." Hailee waved her hand and took a deep breath, before she leaned back against the sofa and rubbed her stomach gently. The pain is gone now. "I'm fine, you can go."
The maid hesitated a little, but since Hailee didn't say anything else and she seemed to be getting better, she finally stepped out of Hailee and Ramon's room.
But, it was certain, this would be a report from her to Martha and, of course, would be passed on to Ramon.
Not long after Hailee was left alone, her cell phone rang. She hoped it was Ian who called her. However, she turned out to be wrong...
The caller was the last person she wanted to hear from. Therefore, Hailee just silenced the call until it was disconnected on its own.
However, Theodore seemed very determined to talk to Hailee, because after the first call, there was a second, third and fourth call, before Hailee finally decided to pick up the call.
"What else do you want?" Hailee asked curtly, but then she remembered the pain earlier and didn't want to get too emotional, so she lowered her voice. "I don't have much time to talk to you..."
"Is that really what happened?" Theodore cut off Hailee's protest quickly.
"Which matter?" asked Hailee, confused.
"The video you sent me," Theodore said in a muffled voice. He tried to contain his emotions as best as he could. He just needed confirmation from Hailee as he would trust his ex-fiancé.
On the other hand, Hailee had completely forgotten about the video she had sent to Gevano's house to push Aileen into trouble.
"Of course, there's no way I could edit that kind of thing, right?" Hailee said lightly. Oh, apparently they had received the video and seen it. Hmm, this would be a nice start… "Or do you think I'm tricking you?" she asked again.
"Of course not," Theodore answered seriously. This time he was going to trust Hailee.
"So? How about Aileen's condition now? Are she and her baby okay?" Hailee asked attentively, only behind her innocent smile, there was a hint of ridicule when she asked this.
