Chapter 273: HAILEE HATES THAT SMELL

In other words, Giana said that she did not give Aileen bad luck, but rather luck. Wasn't being able to get away from a bad guy something to celebrate?

"Stop twisting my words," growled Aileen, she was very annoyed that Giana was too good at using words.

On the other hand, Giana did not respond to Aileen's annoyance. For her, the young woman in front of her was not much different from any child who did not get her favorite toy. It just took a little coaxing and an offer of another toy, and she'd forget about it.

Very easy to control.

"I just didn't think that your marriage would last so short," Giana commented, then grabbed the menu book in front of her. "I feel like it was only yesterday that I attended your wedding."

And it was the simplest wedding party that Giana had ever attended, Aileen should be grateful because someone like her wanted to come there and humor an invitation from Aileen.

"Can we discuss something else?" Aileen looked fiercely at Giana. She paid attention to the appearance of the woman in front of her and assessed all the things she was wearing. Tsk. The price of all the luxury items that Giana wore could certainly buy a luxury car.

Aileen never failed in appraising luxury and branded goods.

Giana then opened the menu book with a calm attitude. "Then where is the evidence I asked for? I'm not going to waste my time just listening to your complaints."

Aileen clenched her fists tightly, until her knuckles turned white. She really had the urge to scratch Giana's face now, it was a shame that part of her was still sane, forbidding her from doing anything reckless.

"So?" Giana shuffled the pages of the menu book in her hand and called the waiter using the bell on the table. "Where's the evidence I want?"

Aileen smiled slyly at Giana. "Give me proof first that you own the shares of the Tatum company, then I'll give it to you." Aileen snorted. "Isn't that our agreement?"

"You still don't believe that I managed to get a third of the shares of Tatum's company? When was the last time you worked properly? Until you don't know the change in ownership of the company's shares?" Giana clicked her tongue and shook her head, as if she felt sad that someone like Aileen would lead the company.

"Shut your mouth," threatened Aileen in a low voice. She was already very stressed over the news she had just seen this afternoon as well as the telephone call from George, who questioned how this could have happened, therefore, Aileen didn't want to entertain Giana's ridicule as well.

Giana again didn't respond to Aileen's harsh words since she was the one who had provoked her first, therefore, she took something from her bag and handed Aileen a document.

"Look and see, maybe you should focus your attention on this company more than thinking about why you can get bad luck when your lies can be easily exposed," Giana raised her voice when she saw Aileen about to interrupt her words. "Regretting what has happened is the stupidest time-wasting activity I've ever known."

Because that was what Giana learned from what happened to her recently, but when it came to Ramon, Giana still had a lot of regrets toward that man…

She might have been together with him by now, if only Giana hadn't made the wrong decision or taken a bolder step at that time.

Ramon…

It's okay, there will come a time when Ramon will remember everything.

Giana will make Ramon remember her and taking over Tatum's company is just a small step of hers toward getting close to Ramon.

Because Giana knew for sure, Hailee wouldn't be the one behind the desk taking on all the responsibilities within the company. It was  certain that Ramon would be the driving force and would also lead the Tatum company under the name Hailee later.

================ 

Hailee and Ramon arrived at the hospital late at night, of course after Hailee felt calmer and confident that she would be fine.

Ramon had also confirmed that Zia had received the best treatment and her condition was stable.

Now, in Zia's room there were only Diego and Ian, while four of Ramon's bodyguards, whom he ordered to guard and report to him about the situation, were standing in front of Zia's room door.

"Are you sure you'll be okay?" Ramon held Hailee before she entered the room. He looked at Hailee's reddened face and her eyes which were puffy from crying too much.

Ramon had also made sure that Hailee had eaten and taken her vitamins before coming here, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed his wife to go anywhere.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Hailee said quietly, a smile tugged on her pale lips. "Thank you for being with me."

Ramon laughed softly at that. "Do you really think I can go anywhere else but with you?"

Ramon's laugh was infectious enough that Hailee laughed along with him. "You're getting smarter with your words," Hailee said. She then hugged Ramon's body tightly, feeling the warmth of her husband's body, energizing her. "I love you Ramon."

"I know," Ramon replied curtly, but as soon as Hailee lifted her head and glared at him, he hastily added. "I love you too."

Only then was Hailee satisfied.

Then Ramon pushed open the ward door and let Hailee in first.

They saw Ian and Diego sitting on separate sofas and Ramon signaled for Ian to come out, because there was something he wanted to talk about, while Hailee approached Zia's bed with Diego calming her down as they chatted lightly.

Ramon walked to one of the quiet corners of the hospital, on the fourth floor terrace that led to the parking lot, he stopped there and Ian stood beside him.

Ian knew what Ramon was going to talk to him about, so he became nervous and took a cigarette out of his trouser pocket.

Actually Ian was not a smoker, but the problems with his younger sister and also some things, have really made him feel stressed and depressed, and he was used to channel his frustration out in this way when he didn't compete.

"Don't you dare lit it up," Ramon rebuked Ian, his eyes cold again, just like the ones Ian saw that night, when he killed the two mysterious people who wanted to kill him.

"Huh?" Ian was shocked and his hand stopped when he was about to light his cigarette.

"The smoke from your cigarette will stick to my shirt and Hailee will catch it. She doesn't like that smell," said Ramon.
