After Clara snapped the photo, she put away her phone with a gleeful smile on her face. Once she saw Cassandra walk into the office building, she quickly followed
suit
“Cassandra, do you think you’ll get to be smug for long? Let’s see how you can fake it after Aidan sees the photo!” Clara let out a chuckle and walked into the building.
She went straight for Aidan’s office, knocked, and entered.
She strutted up to Aidan. “Aidan, guess what I saw today?”
He immediately pulled her into a hug. “Are you okay now?”
She shook her head. “I’m fine. I just caught a cold.”
“That’s good to hear. But what did you see?” While speaking, he started to run his hands all over her body.
She pulled his hand away and complained playfully, “Listen to me.”
She tapped into her photo gallery on the phone. “Aidan, take a look. Who is this?”
His eyes scanned the photo, and he immediately got fixated. He saw Cassandra coming out of a luxury car. Even though the photo was taken from a distance, that figure was clearly hers.
“Is this Cassandra?” Aidan asked in a low and unfeeling growl.
His response made her gleeful. Yet, she put on an innocent look. “I wonder if it’s Cass‘ friend. But they must be living together for him to send her to work in the morning!”
“I know all of her friends. None of them could afford a luxury car. I can tell from one look that it’s a limited edition that I can’t even get my hands on.” His gaze turned steely.
That explained why Cassandra wanted a breakup and to leave the company. Could she have found a sugar daddy?
He felt a weight on his chest at that thought.
He pushed Clara away, stood up, and opened the door to leave.
Clara, who knew the answer, asked anyway, “Aidan, where are you going?”
Deep down, she knew he was about to look for Cassandra. The show was about to start for Cassandra, who had always been so stuck–up.
He quickly left his office with a sullen expression and rage in his eyes. The photo was seared into his memory. Cassandra got out of the luxury car, looking normal, and even occasionally turned around to check on the man in the car.
Was that man very important to her?
“Cassandra, you’re really something! Do you see me as a fool?” he mumbled and clenched his fist.
He marched steadily toward Cassandra’s office. The employees got out of his way when they saw his sulky face. They dared not speak to him.
When Aidan arrived at Cassandra’s office, he barged in without knocking. Cassandra was in the middle of working at her table. She looked up when the door opened, and she seemed shocked to see him standing at the door.
“Mr. Ziegler, what’s wrong?” She spoke calmly, fixing a cold gaze on him.
He closed the door and walked over to her table. His eyes were piercing. “Cassandra, you’re something else! Whose car did you ride to work today?”
She lifted a brow, looking unbothered. “Are you stalking me? What does that have to do with you?”
His face fell even more. His voice simmered with anger. “Cassandra, stop going around in circles. Whose car was that? And what’s your relationship with that man?
“Don’t you think I deserve an explanation when you cheated on me behind my back?”
Cassandra put down the documents and leaned back in her chair. Her calm eyes probed his face.
“Mr. Ziegler, that’s my private life. I don’t think I need to report anything to you. Remember, we broke up.”
Aidan was triggered by her reply. He slapped a palm against the table and raised his voice. “Cassandra, we haven’t officially separated! How could you cheat on me?
Her expression sank. She shot to her feet and stared him dead in the eye.
She argued in a sarcastic tone, “I cheated on you? Aidan, you’ve been sleeping with Clara from the start! How could you sharnelessly make a scene here?”
Aidan was rendered speechless by her scathing comeback. He clenched his fist tighter as his chest rose and fell with anger. Evidently, he was trying to suppress his
emotions
“Cassandra, you’d better not force my hand. You can’t dump me for another rich guy,” Aidan hissed in a low voice that carried a hint of a threat
He was ready to dump Cassandra, but he now felt upset when he learned that she had been dating someone else.
How could she ask for 10 million dollars? She was delusional!
She decided with contempt. “Are you threatening me? Too bad that won’t work on me.”
She haww very well that he was lasting out because his male ego was hurt.
He sadderdy grabbed her wrist and yanked her toward him. He hissed coldly, “Cassandra, you think I don’t know what’s on your mind?
“That car from this marring is part of the supercar club. Your sugar daddy is pretty rich, it seems.
Chapter 15
Her wrist hurt from being grabbed. Instead of struggling, she fixed an icy glare on him. “Aidan Ziegler, let go of me.”
He did not. In fact, he held onto her wrist with greater force. “Cassandra, don’t push me to the edge.”
“Aidan, you’d better understand the consequences of your actions. If you don’t let go of me, I will destroy your reputation.” A cold, harsh glint appeared in her eyes as she warned.
He was intimidated by her threat and loosened his grip.
Since when had Cassandra’s eyes become so piercing? Something in her had changed.
She took the chance to free herself from his grip. Taking a step backward, she snarled, “You’d better show some respect. We’ve broken up. Let’s keep things amicable.”
With that, she pulled out the agreement. “Please sign here. If you don’t, I’ll sell my stocks to our industry peers. This is your last chance.
“Aidan, let’s keep it amicable. It’s pointless to get entangled any longer.”
Aidan stood there, his chest rising and falling. His eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
He looked at Cassandra as though she were a stranger.
“Cassandra, you’ve changed,” he stated with a hint of reluctance.
She let out a snicker. “I haven’t changed. This is my real self.”
He sank into a brief silence. Staring at her, he croaked, “Cassandra, I’ll say this one more time. You can kick up a fuss, but do not cross my boundaries.” She stared back at him emotionlessly. “You’re shameless!”
