Chapter 47: Deadly Text Messages
Riina acted intimately, wrapping her arms around Asher’s waist and leaning her head on his arm with the look of a little woman reveling in the taste of happiness.
Asher raised his hand to glance at his valuable wristwatch, and at the sight of the hands pointing to the number eight, a pair of thick eyebrows wrinkled together involuntarily. A glance at the woman leaning against him out of the corner of his eye flashed a hint of disgust, and he coldly moved her head away from his own.
Looking at Asher who took his arm back, Riina was dumbfounded for a moment but then resumed her ceremonial smile, “It’s getting late, why don’t we go celebrate?”
Riina looked across the street at the city of Korean cuisine with a smile.
Asher looked at the woman in front of him with a cold look out of the corner of his eye, his icy voice exhaling from his throat, “I’m going back to the office to take care of some business.”
Too much time had been wasted today, and he would have to work late tonight to make it work, and as for the celebration she had mentioned, a solo act would be fine.
Hearing Asher’s words, the smile on Riina’s face increased rather than decreased as she cocked her head and looked at Asher, “I think Grandpa would be happy if he knew the two of us were going out on a date, right?”
At these words, Asher’s expressionless face was instantly tinted with a layer of coldness, and even the bottom of those deep eyes were tainted with a thick layer of frost.
The body that had just turned slowly turned around, his face was bitterly cold as he looked at the woman with a gentle smile in front of him, a cold aura that was poised to burst out from his tall and slender body instantly, his morose gaze shot straight at Lina’s face, “Are you threatening me?”
The temperature around them plummeted to freezing, but that didn’t stop Riina’s gentle smile at all. Riina shook her head good-naturedly and smiled curtly, “No, but I don’t have a problem with it if it’s interpreted as another meaning. ”
Asher’s body exuded a biting aura, his cold eyes staring at Lina’s face in front of him for an instant, his deep gaze suddenly hanging a creepy smile on his expressionless face when he came in contact with that smile of hers, “Go.”
Inside the Korean Cuisine City, the two selected a closed box and walked in.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Half an hour later.
Riina looked across the table at Asher, who hadn’t given her a single glance since he’d walked in, and when she saw that his gaze had been on that document, the perfect smile finally hung on her face.
Seiryo’s eyes flashed with dissatisfaction as she put the knife and fork down in her hand and gently wiped her lips.
Hearing the sound of cutlery being put down, Asher quickly closed the file in his hand, his pale eyes sweeping across the room, “Ready?”
“Asher,” Riina called out to the man across from her, one eye curving up with a smile, “Let’s talk.”
“Talk about what?” Asher glanced at her lightly, with a deep impatience. If it weren’t for Grandpa Jun’s sake, he wouldn’t even bother with the woman in front of him.
Looking at his cold expression, Riina still had a gentle smile on her face, but there was a flash of something different under her eyes as she picked up a spoon and stirred the thick soup in front of her, “I can help you get what you want, but you have to marry me.”
Something that was wanted? Those five words were undoubtedly the biggest key to attracting Asher, only to see Asher’s bland expression change for a moment when he heard those five words.
“Want something?” A look of interest showed on Asher’s face, “You know what I want?”
“Of course.” Knowing she had bet on the right thing this time, Riina then raised a confident smile and took the spoon out of the bowl, placing it in a side plate as her eyes burned in the opposite direction, “Between you and the old man.”
Asher raised an eyebrow high, gesturing for her to continue. He would like to see what this woman could say. Getting the silent signal, Leena continued, “It’s obvious that you hired Mia as your temporary girlfriend to deal with the old man.”
As Riina’s analysis progressed, the smile that Asher had hung on his face slowly receded and was gradually replaced by an icy frost, and the document that he had placed in his hand had been put aside at some point.
Seeing his changing expression, Riina’s smile deepened, “As long as you marry me, I will help you on the old man’s side.”
As soon as Riina’s words fell, the compartment instantly fell into a cold silence, a stern aura surrounded Asher’s surroundings, and icy sharp swords stabbed in Riina’s direction like raindrops.
For a long time, an incomparably cold voice rang out, “Instead of speculating about this, why don’t you think about how you should go about wanting the old man, so that you don’t fail to be the grandson-in-law of this Jun family.”
The morose gaze instantly made Riina’s rosy face pale miserably, “What do you mean by that?”
Asher crossed his legs in front of him, a pair of cold eyes condensing on the woman across from him, “Put away your little wisecracks and do your part, your part is to be my fiancée.”
At this moment, the secretary who had been waiting outside suddenly knocked on the closed door of the room, “President, a call from Vice President Xiang.”
Asher got up and left his seat, his icy scowl looking askance at Riina’s pale face, “I’m giving you one warning and one last warning, my patience is limited.”
After saying that, he left the box with a big stride.
A look of reluctance appeared on Riina’s face, and her fingers, clenched into fists, pounded hard on the table with a muffled sound. The lab slip suddenly flashed through her mind as her eyes, filled with a vicious glint, inadvertently glanced at the phone Asher had pulled down, and a vicious glint flashed through the bottom of her eyes, Asher, I will make you regret what you said!
Slender fingers quickly clutched the phone across the room in her hands, ears listening intently for movement outside the room, and when she was sure Asher wouldn’t be back for a while, her fingers darted across the screen of the phone, finally flicking her fingertips to the send button.
Watching the screen flash with the words sent successfully, a triumphant smile spread across the corners of Riina’s mouth before she quickly put the phone back in its place, all in a matter of minutes.
Then Leena sat back in her seat as if nothing had happened, her eyes flashing with an unknown light as she looked away from the phone.
At the far end of the city, Mia received a message, and upon seeing its contents, her entire body stiffened, and her phone involuntarily slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.
Kids, don’t stay, take care of themselves.
A few short lines instantly sent her into the deepest depths of hell.
Mia froze for a long moment, looking at the message on the screen again, her fingers shaking uncontrollably, her pale face looking like it was about to collapse at any moment.
Wang Yuxin, who noticed Mia’s difference, still had the wiped glass in her hand, and when she saw the content on that screen, her bland eyes instantly surged with anger, then she put the glass in her hand towards the bar and was about to walk out, “Damn it, this man is too bad, I’ll go find him!”
Mia took her best friend’s arm in time and shook her head at her friend with a pleading face, “No need to go, I already know the outcome.”
Even if she went and found Asher now, what would she change? The man didn’t care about her, and was he expected to admit that the baby in her belly was his? Right now, she was hurting inside and didn’t want to make any more trouble.
Wang Yuxin gritted her teeth as she looked at the phone Mia was holding in her hand, the flames of indignation dancing in her eyes as she tried to make her voice sound calm as she spoke, “Are you just going to let it go?”
Although this result had been expected, it was hard to accept when they actually received such a message.
Seeing Wang Yuxin calm down, Mia let go of her wrist, there was an unconcealed hurt under her eyes, but her tone was unusually calm and the light under her eyes was very firm, “When I first went to him, I just felt that he had the right to know about it. I should have done my duty, so I can’t force him to do the same as I did. However, this child I must keep!”
Wang Yuxin gazed at Mia’s slightly pale face and finally let out a soft sigh, “Mia , what is your pain …”
What else could she say nowadays? She could only try not to irritate Mia, and just pretend to look like her usual self. Wang Yuxin took the glass of wine on the bar in her hand, intending to leave Mia alone.
Lifting her eyes and turning around, a clear, soft face caught the eyes of both men, the woman in front of them was tall, and her almost perfect face was breath-taking.
“Miss Lai, what are you doing here?” Mia asked warily before Wang Yuxin could speak.
Lina swept a condescending glance at the two women in front of her, and finally her cold gaze settled on Mia behind Wang Yuxin, a look of contempt quickly slid past her eyes, “I didn’t expect you to degenerate to this level, coming to a bar to sell alcohol.”
Mia looked up, her gaze bland as she looked at the woman who appeared in front of her, not intending to argue with her, “It’s natural to condescend if Miss Lai comes to a place like this.”
The disdainful look on Lina’s face irritated Wang Yuxin’s nerves, and she retorted with a cold face and no good humor, “Who are you, since you look down on places like us, no one invited you over.”
Lina looked at Mia and then Wang Yuxin, with disdain in the bottom of her eyes, “It seems like they are really from the same class, even their speech is so equally uncultured.”
Mia crossed over Wang Yuxin and stood straight in front of Li Na, quietly looking at Li Na who was strutting her stuff in front of her, her attitude was still cold, but her heart was turning over. She had already backed down to this point, but was Lina still not going to let her go?
Or, was Riina here, originally at the behest of Asher.
“Is there something you want to do here?” Mia asked as she gazed at the glorious woman in front of her and spoke lightly once again.
Riina reached out a hand to cover her nasal cavity, her disgust growing, her critical eyes looking Mia up and down, “Of course I’m here to talk to you.”
