Theodore pursed his lips tightly. Half of his body remained numb because of the attack of the taser. Although he wanted to punish Ariana for being so difficult, any resentment he had toward her melted as soon as he saw her tear-filled eyes and wounded forehead. Instead, his fury was replaced with regret and sadness.

After a moment of silence, he took off his coat and put it on Ariana. Not knowing what else to do, he patted her gently on the shoulder and said, "It's alright now. I'm here."

Once he finished reassuring her everything would be okay, the still tearful Ariana quickly threw herself into his arms and kissed his lips.

The brief kiss sobered Ariana up.

Once she regained her senses, her eyes bulged out of the sockets. She moved her head back immediately.

What did she just do? She sat on Theodore's lap and kissed him!

Was she out of her mind?

Ariana's cheeks turned red as shame surged inside her.

She stood up and wanted to run away. However, Theodore grabbed her by the waist and sat her back down. In a split second, he held her chin and kissed her passionately.

They shared a breath as Theodore sucked her tongue. Ariana felt like a fish who just swallowed the bait. Struggling with him would be futile, so she only clung to his shirt and let him do his thing. Seconds passed and she couldn't help kissing him back.

The two of them were lost in an abyss of passion when a dry cough suddenly broke the silence.

Startled, Ariana broke the kiss, stood up, and looked at the person at the door.

“Ermm, I just thought to say that there are cameras in the room." Horace pointed at the cameras at the different corners of the ceiling. A smile was playing at the corners of his lips.

He then left, leaving the embarrassed couple alone.

Ariana held her burning cheeks and didn't say anything for a long time. She couldn't face him. After summoning the courage, she asked, “Why are you here?"

Theodore was surprisingly calm. He seemed different from the man who just kissed her so hard. Without uttering a word, he took out his phone and showed Ariana a photo.

It was the same one Jasper sent to him. The backs of Ariana and Adrian were captured.

There was nothing sexual or romantic about this picture.

However, Jasper's ambiguous words hinted that Ariana was having an affair.

“From the look of things, I should be the one doing the interrogation. What are you doing here?" Theodore's tone became unfriendly and cold.
