Oriana picked up her phone, dug out Deacon’s number, and dailed it.
The call connected but Derrick hadn’t answered yet. The wait was a torment for Oriana.
She suddenly realized that she was being reckless with her decision. What if he was working?
The call suddenly was answered, interrupting her thoughts.
“Hello.” She had quickdy said.
“Hello, who’s on the line?” A sweet female voice sounded.
It was a woman who answered the phone.
A woman answered Deacon’s call!
Oriana’s head exploded.
“Hello, do you wanna speak with Boss Deacon? He’s taking a shower, so it’s not convenient for him to answer the call…”
With a beep, Oriana hastily ended the call.
Who was that woman?
Deacon was a matured man. It was his personal phone.
Is the woman his lover?
Why were they together?
The questions flooded Oriana’s mind.
“What really is my relationship with Deacon, and why would I need his help?”
She was just a contract wife. It was normal for him to have a lover outside.
After being abandoned at nine. She had taught herself to grow independently. Apart from North, she didn’t dare to entrust her sincerity to anyone.
She didn’t want to be stabbed in the back again by her loved ones, hence she pushed them away.
However, this man named Deacon has barged into her life forcefully. And in such short period of time, he had broken a wall she had built in ten years and made her become dependent on him.
Dependency, when turned to a habit was bound to make one weak.
Oriana’s hands and feet were cold. She calmed her self and took out her phone. She typed a message and Forwarded it to Derrick.
“See you tomorrow night!”
Abroad, in the presidential suite, the public relations director, Rita Donaldson stared at
Deacon’s phone strangely. Andrew Peters walked in.
“Director Rita, who told you to enter the CEOs room? And why did you answer his call?”
Rita tapped on the documents in her hands,
“Secretary Andrew, I brought the documents that needs to be reviewed by the CEO.”
“The CEO doesn’t like people entering his room and also touching his personal belongings. Next time, just hand over the documents directly to me. Remember, it’s not an excuse, hurry up and leave.”
“Yes secretary Andrew.”
“By the way, who called just now?” Andrew inquired.
Rita shook her head and said,
“I don’t know. The person hung up without saying a word.”
Andrew didn’t care about it. He waved his hand and said.
“Let’s go back to work. The CEO will be leaving soon.”
“But secretary Andrew, why is the CEO in such a hurry to go back?”
“Rita, you’re here to work right? Why don’t you focus on your job?”
“I’m sorry.” With that, Rita walked out of the room.
The next day.
Oriana went to see Derrick, she stood at the door and rang a bell.
Soon the door flung open and Derrick stood beside the door. Oriana walked in andDerrick closed the door.
“Derrick, where’s aunt Rebecca? How do I know if you’re saying the truth? Place a call to her. I want to hear her voice.” Oriana went straight to the point.
Derrick nodded, he took out his phone and dialed a number. He handed over the phone to Oriana, who placed it beside her car.
Aunt Rebecca’s familiar voice sounded.
“Hello, is this young master? When are you going to let me speak with young miss?”
Aunt Rebecca had always refered to Oriana’s mother as Miss, and Oriana, little miss. Ten years had elapsed and she still called Oriana little miss.
Oriana’s felt a sore in her throat as her eyes reddened. Everyone has changed, but Aunt
Rebecca hadn’t.
“Hello, Aunty Rebecca, it’s me, Oriana.”
“Little Miss, is it really you?…” She stopped as she coughed vehemently.
Oriana knew that Aunt Rebecca’s body had depleted in recent years.
Oriana held the phone nervously.
“Aunt Becca…”
Derrick grabbed the phone from her and hung up
“Now you can see that I spoke the truth.”
Derrick held the phone and approached Oriana who was moving backwards.
“Don’t come any Closer. Our deal is that you hand over aunt Rebecca to me, then I’ll sleep with you.”
A frown covered Derrick’s face,
“Oriana, weren’t you aware of the bid? Now you’re begging me to give Aunt Rebecca to you!”
“Derrick, you’re the one who didn’t understand the deal. Now you’re begging me to sleep with you!”
“Oriana, where do you generate your confidence from?”
Oriana sneered,
You slept with Gabriella last night, but you called me so I could sleep with you. Your dissatisfied face is my greatest confidence.”
Derrick glared coldly at her.
“That’s that for today. When you bring aunt Rebecca, we’ll have a deal.” Oriana turned and made for the door.
“Oriana, don’t force me!” Derrick dragged her back by her wrist.
However, Oriana was prepared. She smashed the bag in her hand into Derrick’s face,
“Derrick, what do you mean by I’m forcing you? Ten years ago, you testified against me and now you’re using aunt Rebecca to force me to sleep with you. Are you worthy of the love my mother had for you?Are you!”
Derrick froze.
