Ariana frowned deeply.

“Don't tell me you believe what Jasper said? You of all people should know that he's just trying to sow discord between us. There is nothing going on between me and Adrian. I only came here to..."

She suddenly stopped, not knowing how to explain. She couldn't just say that the CEO of BRD Group had a crush on her. Theodore was an egoistic man. If she told him the truth, he would get mad and make a scene here.

It was undeniable that the Anderson family-no matter how powerful-wasn't a match for BRD Group. Besides, Ariana had to consider that Theodore already had enough enemies.

She didn't want to make him one more. The last thing she wanted was for him to be in trouble with an outsider while also fighting those in his household.

Theodore's eyes were still on her. He tapped the armrest of his wheelchair as he noticed how she was at war with herself. His eyes glistened with pleasure.

After a long silence, Ariana cleared her throat and said

"I. came here to discuss the business hesitantly, cooperation with Adrian. It's about the variety show that Sarah is going to participate in. You know, BRD Group is one of the top sponsors of Guava Broadcasting."

Theodore raised his eyebrows and looked at her for a long time without saying anything.

Ariana's guilty conscience was pricking her badly. She put her sweaty hands behind her back and lowered her head.

“Well, it seems that didn't go well," Theodore suddenly commented.

Ariana understood what he meant. She also realized that she was in a mess. With an awkward smile, she said, “Yeah, it didn't. There was an accident."

Her voice was hoarse and her eyes were red. Theodore noticed that she looked a lot weaker and pitiful. Her appearance did something to him.

He couldn't help looking away and saying, "Let's just go home."

He then left in his wheelchair.

Afraid that she would be left in the dark room alone again, Ariana followed him closely.

When they got home, Ariana went back to her room alone. Her face was still red as if she had drunk herself to a stupor.

“Naughty girl! That was so stupid of you!" Ariana knocked her head as she sat on her bed. She was still embarrassed whenever she remembered how she kissed Theodore.

It was even more embarrassing that she got attracted to Theodore when he appeared in front of her like a knight in shining armor.

How could she be so careless?
