Chapter 259 - SPEECHLESS
That night, Hailee indeed managed to subdue Ramon and make the man give in to her will. But, she should have known better that Ramon could be very annoying in negotiations, where he would try to take every advantage he could get.
"I did agree, but I didn't say exactly when you could go there, did I?" Ramon was forced to stop his activities because Hailee called him, grumbling.
His wife was now on her way to his office after Pyro adamantly refused Hailee's wishes to take her to the Tatum residence and kick Aileen out of the house. However, Ramon didn't know this and Hailee had threatened Pyro seriously if he dared to report this to Ramon.
The poor head bodyguard was forced to agree to not anger Mrs. Tordoff further.
"This is an order from Mr. Tordoff."
That was Pyro's answer when Hailee became angry that they refused to escort her and asked her to understand or call Ramon to reconfirm her departure.
On the other hand, Hailee didn't allow Ramon to send someone else to get rid of Aileen, because she wanted to do it herself. There are things that only when you do it yourself, can make you more satisfied and for Hailee, this is such a moment.
However, Ramon reneged his promise. He was really good at using words and exploiting loopholes in a deal.
"Ramon, I'm really mad at you!" Hailee exclaimed just as the car had stopped in front of the Tordoff building. Since Hailee wasn't allowed to leave, she would go over to Ramon to show the man how angry she was right now.
"You can't be mad at me, you didn't ask for the exact time you were allowed to go there," said Ramon lightly. He played with the ballpoint in his hand, enjoying the moment.
"You can't do this to me, you can't lock me up." Hailee waved her hand at a receptionist, indicating that she shouldn't tell Ramon of her sudden visit.
And just by looking at Hailee's current facial expression, they could tell that Mrs. Tordoff was in a bad mood, so it was best if they did what Hailee wanted.
"I'm not locking you up, you are free to go wherever you like," Ramon stated the fact, and it was true that Hailee wasn't forbidden to go anywhere, except back to the Tatum family residence.
"Ramon you're really getting on my nerves," Hailee grumbled in frustration. "You tricked me and took advantage of my carelessness." And now Hailee started to protest. "I feel wronged."
Okay, Hailee's words did sound a bit too much, but she had a hard time expressing her annoyance at her husband.
While on the other hand, Ramon actually laughed when he heard these complaints from Hailee. "You didn't feel cheated that night, honey… didn't we both enjoy it?"
"Ramon!"
This time the call didn't come from his cell phone, but from the real Hailee who had just opened the door to Ramon's study with an angry expression.
Oh, shit. Ramon cursed, putting down his phone. Why didn't anyone inform him of his wife's arrival?
Ramon immediately stood up to approach Hailee. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming here?"
Ramon's question got no answer from Hailee. His wife then stepped into the room with pounding steps, showing her annoyance before finally sitting on the sofa, crossing her arms defensively.
"Ramon, don't let my annoyance with Aileen disappear and get it replaced by my annoyance for you," Hailee said in a firm tone as Ramon sat beside her. She tried to threaten the heir to the Tordoff family, who was known for his cold nature.
Of course the threat didn't work, but Ramon was smart enough not to laugh when he saw Hailee's frowning face.
"You can go there, but I'll come with you, how about that?" asked Ramon, offering a solution. He knew that he wouldn't be able to stop Hailee forever, so this was the best solution he could come up with.
"Really?" A person who was very good at acting could easily change his facial expression in just a few seconds, and that was what was happening with Hailee's attitude now.
Her angry expression immediately changed when Ramon told her that he was willing to come to Tatum's residence to accompany her.
Even the speed with which Hailee's facial expression changed left Ramon quite surprised, he was flabbergasted and momentarily speechless.
"I love you Ramon!" Hailee immediately hugged Ramon's shoulders tightly and kissed both of his cheeks. "You are the greatest, most understanding husband I could ever have. I really love you!"
Ramon shook his head, unable to understand Hailee's mood that could change so easily, as easily as turning the palm of a hand. Ramon felt that he had married seven women at once every time Hailee changed her attitude.
However, on the other hand, this was what always made Ramon unable to take his attention away from Hailee. She was so attractive that he didn't want to pass the time not knowing what his wife was doing.
After the dramatic scene, Ramon then told Hailee something more important.
"Ian and I will meet tonight, to discuss what he knows about the person who wants to kill me," Ramon said this very lightly, as if it was an everyday topic that no longer surprised him.
================
Once again, an article about Aidan Smith's infidelity had been released, this time the photo revealed the faces of Aidan and the woman, however, the woman had her body turned away, so that only her short hair and body that was wrapped in a towel were visible.
This, of course, shocked the mass media; thousands of comments cornered Aidan again and adorned every comment column under the photo.
And with the damage to Aidan's self-image in the eyes of the public, Giana's name was getting cleaner. They sympathized with Aidan's wife, even understanding why Giana was having an affair behind her husband with her own personal assistant.
Because all this time, Giana had always been seen with Dillon. Even now when the two of them appeared together and were caught on camera, it was very rare to see cynical or negative comments being made about them.
That was how one should deal with the mass media. Public opinion is very volatile and if someone is able to control it, then that person can do everything without worries.
This is what Giana learned and applied.
Her reputation, slowly but gradually, turned good. She began to gain the trust of the shareholders in her own company as well.
Everything did seem to be going according to her plans and would end well for her, if only Giana could control her obsession with Ramon…
"How about we get married?" asked Dillon after their intimate moment.
