His tone was sharp. Soon, his serious and cold face appeared on the screen, and his eyebrows
creased in a frown.
Ariana was already in a bad mood after enduring a tough day. When she heard ‘Theodore’s fierce
questions, she couldn’t help but burst into anger.
“ll answer my phone when I want to, and it’s not up to you to decide!”
Theodore’s surprise was evident as he raised his eyebrows and started to speak.

“What’s your point? Did I say anything wrong?” Ariana cut him off abruptly. Fueled by the frustrations
she had been enduring, her anger surged and her eyes welled up with tears. “What does it matter to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou? Why should I have to tell you where I go?
Did you ever tell me where you went? And did you tell me that you went out to celebrate your birthday
with another woman?”
Theodore quietly watched Ariana glaring at him, and for a moment, it seemed like a competition to see

his eyes.

accompany her. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Horace. He was the one who arranged the

That means we didn’t collude with each other,” Theodore patiently replied.
“Then tell me, where did you go that night? Did you go to work alone?”
Theodore didn’t say anything, which confirmed Ariana’s suspicion.

spend his birthday alone.
“Can’t you just get the bodyguard’s phone number from Horace?” Theodore suggested, noticing
Ariana’s hesitation.
Ariana shook her head and said, “They’re all your men, and they follow your orders.
