Chapter 178 - Business Trip

After Adam left, Arabella had planned to visit her mom and she had no plan to go back inside Bill’s car but she had a problem. The school ground was too big for her to reach the gate on foot. If she would not get lost, she could estimate it to reach the gate approximately 1 and half hours by foot.

She heaved a sigh of frustration. She suddenly regretted it to follow her stubbornness. She should have entered Bill’s car then secretly asked the driver to stop at the gate.

Well, her regret was already late so she continued walking finding the way to the main gate. At first, she enjoyed walking and seeing the wide ground in the school. Inside, it has a big lake that was well maintained with beautiful landscaping and garden surrounding it.

She then thought of Adam. If it wasn’t for his rich father, Adam would have not experienced the beautiful luxurious school. Judging from Adam’s face earlier, all she could see was all excitement. It made her heart caught in the middle of happiness and sadness. Now that Adam was experiencing all of these, how could she continue with her plan? She didn’t have the heart to take Adam’s privileges of luxurious life. His bright smile and sparkling eyes made her realize that she was a selfish mother to think only for herself and not for her son’s welfare.

“Get in.” Suddenly, a car stopped beside her and a very familiar voice sounded.

Shocked, she looked at the car with wide puzzled eyes.

Jayson was smiling at her in his Bugatti. He was so stunning in his black sweater paired with his black ray-ban.

“What are you doing here?” Arabella quickly asked surprised by his sudden appearance.

“My son… I mean Margaret’s son is studying here.” Jayson answered coolly.

Arabella simply nodded absorbing Jayson’s words as she remembered Jayson was mentioning Margaret's son before.

“Where are you going? Let me take you!” Jayson offered to see her seemed lost.

“Hmmm…” Arabella muttered hesitantly but she had no choice. She felt lost and she was already tired of walking.

“Can I hitch? Just to the gate please.” She was afraid that Jayson might take his offer so she quickly asked.

“Hop in!” Jayson answered cheerfully.

She quickly strode towards inside his car.

They were about to drive away but a black Rolls-Royce suddenly blocked their way. One could easily say the driver was crazy as they almost crashed into the car luckily, Jayson managed to stop his car on time. Pissed off, he blew his horn very loud to get rid of the Rolls-Royce.

The car in front of them didn’t move. No one came out.

Having a clearer view of the car, Jayson smirked.

Arabella also froze seeing the car in front of them.

It’s Bill’s car.

Jayson blew his horn again and again provoking the man inside his car. The sound of the horn made the area very noisy but the car in front of them didn’t move even a little.

Arabella was alarmed. She felt Jayson’s anger was about to explode. She knew Bill was naturally stubborn and he would never give in.

Who would win?

“I don’t want to see you with Hansen. I don’t want to see you with another man.”

She then remembered Bill’s words and it gave her goosebumps thinking of a dangerous angry face inside his car at that very moment.

“Jayson. I’m sorry. I have to go out now.” She quickly said not wanting to have chaos in the area. She knew Bill would do anything he wanted and would not stop pestering everyone just to get what he wanted.

“Are you scared?” Jayson’s expression was very pissed already.

“No. I’m fine. I just forgot that I had something to talk to Bill.” Arabella answered with a white lie. Then without waiting for Jayson’s reaction, she opened her door and went out. She quickly ran towards Bill’s car as Jayson kept on blowing his loud horn.

Remembering Adam’s custody, she quickly entered inside the Rolls-Royce. Then the car quickly drove away leaving Jayson in peace.

Arabella sat on the back nervously. She didn’t know why Bill suddenly appeared there. She thought they had already left. Bill was the most important CEO in Sky Corporation. He must be in a hurry to get to work but she was wrong. He had still the time to pester everyone around him.

Bill was there resting closing his eyes.

She heaved a sigh slowly afraid to disturb him.

“You dared disobey me again.” With closed eyes, Bill muttered.

“It’s not like that.” Feeling uneasy, she answered afraid of his consequences.

“Hmmm…” Bill muttered calmly then he opened his eyes. Arabella felt a sudden nervous as she lowered her head afraid to meet his eyes. He looked at her. His eyes were like seeking to castigate her soul. They were deep and dark.

“Are you that easy to get?” He sounded calm but insulting. His calm was not good for her. She felt it more dangerous.

After hearing him, she wanted to punch him but she held it. She tried her very best not to hit him otherwise everything would get very messy and again she would be left on the losing end. Feeling the urge to teach him a lesson, Arabella put up a warm smile.

“Mr. Sky, if you say I am an easy-to-get girl. Then I am.” She answered beneath her breath smiling trying to show him that she was not affected by him.

“Hmmm…” Bill sounded calmly nodding his head. He didn’t say anything as he closed his eyes again. He was like a handsome God statue when unmoved. If only he was a good man, she would be the luckiest girl who had the chance to ride his car and sit beside him.

Arabella remained silent along the way until she realized that they were already at the airport. The car stopped just beside a huge private plane.

“Why are we here?” She sounded shocked. Bill opened his eyes slowly and instead of answering her, he went out.

In just a quick second, the driver opened her door. She had no choice but to go down but she had a feeling that some bad things were about to happen. The driver went back in the car and drove away leaving her and Bill in the site.

“Wait!” Arabella wanted to shout but her word was stuck in her throat. Her word went out like a hum.

Bill strode directly towards the plane but Arabella was rooted on her spot.

“Madam, shall we?” The pilot of the plane asked her politely together with the stewardess.

“No! I’m not going in there.” She answered toughly refusing to go with them.

How could she just hop in that plane without knowing the destination?

What if Bill would kill her inside his private plane? No one would know as these people were all his servants.

Or what if he would push her in the middle of nowhere? In the vast ocean perhaps?

Or maybe what if he dropped her off in a very far country where she could not go back to see Adam?

“No way!” She didn’t realize that she was already shouting at the people who were waiting for her to go inside the plane as she was trapped in her thoughts.

Just right after her refusal, her body was suddenly lifted in the air. She was carried by strong arms and she was directly put on his shoulder roughly like a dirty bag of potato.

“You! Put me down!” Arabella shouted hysterically.

“Put me down!” She struggled as she was wiggling her butt and legs while punching his back. Her position was very hard as her head was placed downward but even though she was still struggling to escape from him as she was afraid of her thoughts might be right.

Her thoughts may be right.

That was horrifying!

She kept on struggling but Bill was very strong that her body was glued to its position. Upon entering the plane, the door quickly closed. Bill put her down roughly and glared at her sharply. “You behave or I will drop you in the ocean.” He sounded serious.

Arabella instantly had goosebumps with cold sweats coming out on her forehead. His words gave her chill down to her spine.

“Where are you taking me?” She asked toughly secretly holding her nervous. Her mind was very messy with her horrifying thoughts.

“Hmmm…” Bill just smirked and had no plan on replying to her. He sat on his seat comfortably. Arabella looked at him like she wanted to hurt him badly.

“Ma’am, please take your seat. We are going to take off.” The tall like model flight attendant suddenly sounded behind her.

Arabella had no choice but to follow the flight attendant but before that, she glared daggers at him before she left taking the last couch away from him.

When she got in her seat, she heaved a sigh. Her nervousness was still with her thinking of many possibilities that Bill would do danger to her.

Is he going to punish her for disobeying him?

Is this something about Jayson again?

“Please have your snack ma’am.” Another attendant sounded beside her.

“May I know where this plane is going?” Arabella asked almost whispering to the flight attendant.

“F city, ma’am.” The flight attendant answered politely.

“Thank you.” Arabella smiled at her. It was already a big relief for her knowing their destination but her nervousness never dissipated.

F city was a 2-hr. flight from capital Z. She could not help to wonder what are they going to do there. When she was young, she went there with her parents for a family vacation. The place had beautiful pristine white beaches that made the city well known to tourists.

Remembering her beautiful memories in the city, she remembered Adam. She hoped she could bring Adam there and enjoyed the beaches. Then her beautiful thoughts switched to worries Adam and Kelly. She could not leave him with Kelly alone. She might hurt Adam when she’s not there.

Worried about her messy thoughts, she sneaked in Bill’s direction. She wanted to talk to him about Adam but she was just shocked when she saw the flight attendant was on Bill’s lap.

“Pervert!” Arabella cursed him in the air as she took away her eyes from them. She didn’t want to see the scene and she didn’t want them to see her looking at them.

She didn’t know but she was angry with the scene. She was very angry with him. The flight attendants in his plane seemed his women. If he was just seeking fun for women, why did he have to bring her? She had a mother who was lying in a hospital waiting for her and she had a son to take care of. She had no time with his dirty tricks.

“Pervert!” She cursed him repetitively in her mind. Scolding him without him knowing.

After 2 hrs, the plane landed smoothly but Arabella still wasn't sober.

Arabella had no plan to follow him so she stayed rooted in her seat. Whatever happened, Bill could not leave her anywhere. She would not disembark the plane for her to return safely to Adam.

“Ma’am, our flight ends here. Mr. Sky is selling this aircraft.” The flight attendant informed her seriously. Arabella was alarmed as she quickly stood up. It seemed Bill was here for business. She ran outside to chase the man who had no care about her. He already strode outside without saying anything to her.

“Mr. Sky. Welcome to F City.” A fat man in his 40’s with clear eyeglasses greeted them. One could tell in one look that the man was very wealthy. He was not so decent when his eyes landed on Arabella.

“Mr. Clinton, good to see you.” Bill strode towards and shook his hand.

“I’m glad that you came and visit my country.” Mr. Clinton said. “Hmmm… and you with a beautiful woman.” Mr. Clinton’s eyes sparked seeing Arabella. His smile was up to his ears.

Arabella had felt something wrong with Mr. Clinton's stare at her. It added to her nervous and messy thoughts. Judging from Mr. Clinton's expression, she felt like he wanted to eat her. He was seeing her like delicious food.

“Hmmm…” Bill muttered and slightly turned to see her. “I know you like beautiful women, Mr. Clinton. That’s why I brought her for you.” Bill added referring to Arabella.

After hearing Bill, Arabella was dumbfounded.
