Aileen was still trying to call Aidan, because the last time she called the man the line just went dead. Either because Aidan ended the conversation himself or there was an error in the connection...
Aileen didn't understand, but for sure Aidan hadn't picked up a call from Aileen since their call that night and this really left Aileen annoyingly bothered.
This was the first time that Aileen had met a man so cold as Aidan, who didn't even hesitate to ignore her. Aileen wondered, why do the gentlemen of City A have such unpleasant personalities? Didn't he think that Aileen could do something with the evidence in her hands?
Just like Ramon Tordoff, who didn't even glance at her. However, how did Hailee manage to succeed winning his heart?
Even how Hailee met Ramon was still a mystery to Aileen. She just did not think that the two of them would actually have a marriage that was initially based on business solely.
Seeing how Ramon treated Hailee and also the tiara that the man won for her, was a small example that would break the opinion that they were married based on marriage convenience like some other young businessmen.
Yes, Aileen heard the news about the tiara and she almost destroyed everything in her room because of the jealousy brewed in her chest.
What a lucky b*tch! How could Hailee get that luxurious tiara so easily while she had to find a way to calm the angry share holders who learned that George had bought the diamond ring as a present to Aileen?
Or how could she calm Diego who asked for the ring back and cancel George's intention to buy it, which would embarrass Aileen too?
Shit!
Aileen cursed when Aidan did not answer her calls again. The man seemed to want to play with her which made matters worse. It seemed Aidan thought Aileen's threat was all just her bluffing an empty threat.
Annoyed, Aileen put her cell phone back in her small handbag and was about to leave the guest room when she found Theodore walking along the hallway.
"Sorry, I took too long," Aileen said with a smile on her lips as she walked over to Theodore and kissed him on the cheek. "Are Hailee and Mr. Tordoff already here?" She asked.
Aileen thought that Theodore was there looking for her and did not suspect any other possibility.
Perhaps, it was because her mind was too focused on her frustration with Aidan and the plans that were forming in her head to get him, that she didn't realize that Theodore wasn't coming for her.
"Oh, yes, they have come…" Theodore answered Aileen, but his eyes did not meet hers, instead, he turned his gaze around the corridor, as if trying to find something.
"Then, let's meet them." Aileen took Theodore's hand cheerfully, but the glint in her eyes said that the smile had not reached her eyes.

"How can you be with her?!" Zia really didn't understand how Aidan could spend a night with Aileen. And even to the point of divulging their secrets to this woman.
Among the millions of people, why should it be Aileen? That petty and cunning woman, who should know their secret?!
Zia really wanted to scream in Aidan's face, but sadly, all she could do now was let out her irritation and anger over the phone and let the man know that she already found out about what had happened between the two of them.
Zia told him everything Aileen had told her in a voice shaking with anger.
Indeed, Zia had closed access so that Aidan could no longer contact her, even now she had changed her phone number again.
But, that didn't mean Zia couldn't contact this man. His cell phone number was something Zia wouldn't just forget about and again, the Smith company office number was very easy to come by.
"Zia, can we just meet and talk about this?" Aidan begged. He held his cell phone in one hand and massaged his throbbing temple with the other, begging them to meet and not discuss the matter over a phone call.
Despite the troubles that have been plaguing him lately, Aidan would be very happy if this girl would just meet him for a moment.
He really missed her.
"What for?" Zia's voice rose a notch, she clenched her fists at her sides, trying to keep her voice steady. "I don't want to see you, so stop persuading me. I just want you to clear things up with Aileen and I don't want her to threaten me like that again!" Zia growled.
From the other end of the phone, the girl could even hear Aidan sighing heavily, indicating that the man was very tired.
There was a side in Zia's heart that wanted to say yes to Aidan's invitation to meet, because there was a big part of her that missed him so much, but there was another part of her that said that she had to do this. She scolded herself; how long would she be like this??!
Wasn't it obvious that the relationship between the two of them would not find any bright spots? Like walking through an endless dark hallway without being able to see the end of it...
"Okay… I will think of something so she doesn't bother you again," Aidan said at last. He looked like a gambler who lost his gamble and left with nothing after he spent all his savings, so that all that was left was a feeling of emptiness.
"That's great then," Zia said in a flat tone without emotion.
Then, after those words were spoken, neither of them spoke, as if the two of them were enjoying this silence. Knowing that each other was listening to the same silence.
Neither of them took the initiative to turn off the phone call, considering that there were no words they wanted to say.
Actually this was the phase when they were very close in the last few weeks, even though the distance between them was still so great.
