Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 19

The next day Michael and Ariana left home together. Ariana wasn’t so keen on the idea but Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Michael wouldn’t let her have her own way.

She sat at the car window looking the unfamiliar scenery. She did not want cause any gossips

going to work with him but what could she do. She would just have to bare it for now. Michael seemed

to sense her discomfort and he pulled her closer to him, “Tell me what is bothering you so I can fixed it.”

Ariana only looked at him for a few seconds then turned away pouting. “You can but you won’t.”

Michael narrowed his eyebrows, “And what could that be?” this woman was so silly sometimes.

Ariana did not want to waste her time talking to him so she did not answer. Michael pinched her

chin for her to look at him. He kissed her lips lightly and said seriously, “I cannot help you if you don’t

tell me what is on your mind.”

“I want to be transferred back to Marketing and I don’t want to be seen with you to avoid gossip.”

She was almost pleading with him.

Michael felt sorry for her but he still arrogantly refused, “No, I want you closer to me and people

will know that you are mine soon or later!”

Ariana was speechless by his tyrannical attitude, after she regain her composure she said

sarcastically, “Why don’t you just move me into your office? We could just be a Siamese Twin.” Michael

was in deep thoughts and Ariana used this as an opportunity to release herself from his grip.

“You know that is not a bad idea? I can ask Alex when we get into office.” Ariana became angry

instantly and punch him in the chest. “Are you crazy?”

“Ha! Ha! You should have seen your face.” Michael laughed and watched her embarrassed look. A

little Rabbit.

“Michael can you please be serious?” Ariana did not want to indulge him anymore.

“Okay, I will arrange for you to go back to Marketing. I will arrange for you to be a manager there.”

Michael finally got serious.

“No way, I will be hated if you do that. I want to avoid gossips as much as possible.” She just left

college with no working experience. She did not want to rely too much on him either.

Soon they got to the company and Alex drove to the underground parking lot. This part of the lot is

only used by Executives. There was no one when they got there. Ariana hurried out and shot out the

parking lot and went to the front of the building.

Michael could do nothing but smile at the disappearing figure.

…

Ariana went into the building and she noticed few people looking at her but she did not pay it any

attention. She planned to go to the Secretarial Department until she gets further confirmation on the

transfer.

When she got to her station on the 20th floor, the four other secretaries was already there. She

acknowledge their presence and went to her desk. Soon Janice came over, “Ariana, how are you this

morning?” Ariana was puzzled by her question. Janice was never nice to her. Ariana understood soon

after.

Phoebe came over as well and asked with a trace of envy, “Why weren’t you at work yesterday?”

Ariana responded expressionlessly, “Should I have reported to you?”

“Phoebe did not mean that.” Janice got nervous. She did not want to upset Ariana since she was

now backed by the President.

Everyone in the room expressions changed and they all looked at Janice and then Ariana. “Since

when you started defending her Janice?” Phoebe was in disbelief. Janice pulled her to her desk and

whispered something to her. Phoebe sat down and started browsing the work forum. She was shocked

by what she saw.

Ariana did not know what they are talking about and she didn’t care. It had nothing to with her. She

knew Janice saw her with Michael yesterday and she did not expect her to keep it a secret. What she

hoped for is for her to be smart that starting a rumor will affect Michael as well.

Ariana got up to go to the cafeteria.

Janice hurried over, “Ariana, I promised I did not say anything about yesterday so don’t blame me.”

She was nervous facing Ariana’s cold face. She was wondering if anyone else saw them yesterday.

How could the news spread throughout the company? It was almost as someone was trying to use her

as a scapegoat.

Ariana nodded and walked away. Ariana thought she was acting weird but she did pay it too much

attitude.

….

As Ariana walked into the cafeteria, all eyes were on her. She heard persons whispering, she

could vaguely hear what they were saying.

“She just came to the company she managed to seduce the President.”

“President probably just having fun with her.”

“I think so too. Look at her, these young girls have no morals these days.”

Ariana did not care about them. Her family already prepared her for the world. Something finally hit

her and she now understood why Janice behaving so weirdly. She don’t believe Janice is that stupid so

they must have been seen by someone else.

Ariana got a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee and a Steam Bun and sat by herself absent-

minded. Who else could she have offended in the company? This person also have no brain. She was

there still deep in thought and ignoring everyone’s deep gaze and disgust when someone suddenly sat

before her.

When she looked up, she saw Kevin staring at with burning eyes and look of disbelief. “Ariana,

what is the relationship between you and Mr. Matthews?” Kevin felt heartbroken, how could he

compete with the President of the largest company in Westron.

“Why do you ask this?” Ariana decided to play dumb.

“Haven’t you checked the business forum?” Ariana shook her head. “There are several pictures on

there with you and the President holding hands. Now everybody in the company and other businesses

know about it and they are all saying that you seduce the President to get into the company.” Ariana

knew it would come to this but she didn’t expect it so quickly.

Ariana did not felt she need to clear anything up, people is like that. They will always run with the

negative and ignore the positive. Her phone rand and she looked at the name and said to

sympathetically, “I am sorry, I have to take this.” Then she got up and exit the cafeteria.

She placed the phone at her ear, “Come to my office.” Michael hang up without giving her a

chance to refuse.
