At the same time, the door opened.
May Sloane instinctively looked up, and with just one glance, the fruit stuck in her throat almost choked her.
That... it's Jesse Rivers!
Where Jesse Rivers is, Aiden Shaw must be there too!
Tiana Thorne held May Sloane's hand, her eyes brimming with tears, her voice soft: "Now I only have you, you must get better soon."
"Don't worry... Tiana, I'll be fine. Thank you so much for today."
May Sloane was shocked by her sudden change in demeanor, almost unable to respond and nearly called her 'Brother Tiana'.
At this moment, there seemed to be a drop in the room's temperature, creating an indescribable sense of oppression.
May Sloane dared not speak.
Tiana Thorne wiped her tears and then turned to Jesse Rivers, her voice still soft with a hint of sobbing: "Brother Jesse..."
Jesse Rivers: "..."
Aiden Shaw slightly narrowed his eyes.
Jesse Rivers hurriedly coughed twice and nodded respectfully: "Fourth Master."
Tiana Thorne stood up and looked at Aiden Shaw. She wiped her tears, suddenly realizing tonight's dinner plans.
Her delicate face instantly showed remorse and apology, then widened her tear-stained eyes: "Fourth Master, I'm truly sorry. How about I treat you to a late-night snack?"
Jesse Rivers just felt she looked so pitiful.
May Sloane dared not breathe, simply staring.
Then, Aiden Shaw calmly nodded: "Okay."
May Sloane: "..." Okay?
What exactly is going on?
Where's Cody Pace's temper?
Where's Fourth Master's temper?
How come they're both gone overnight?
In her thoughts, she suddenly felt a bone-chilling gaze, and May Sloane froze.
Instinctively, she looked over and saw Aiden Shaw's tall and imposing figure, paired with his finely chiseled features and compelling presence.
May Sloane closed her eyes and silently mourned for Tiana Thorne.
This time, Brother Tiana is probably done for!
Tiana Thorne was worried about May Sloane's health, so she asked Jesse Rivers to stay at the hospital.
Eventually, it was just May Sloane and Jesse Rivers staring at each other.
Jesse Rivers asked: "President Pace said he couldn't reach you; where are your phones?"
May Sloane looked towards the trash can: "This news greatly upset Tiana, her mental state isn't good, and she doesn't want to contact the outside world." Tiana instructed her to say this to Jesse Rivers, although she didn't know the purpose.
Jesse Rivers followed her gaze and saw two phones with shattered screens lying dead in the trash can.
Jesse Rivers: "..."
After a while, he asked again: "Was the morning's headline done by you and her?"
"No." May Sloane held her breath; even as Aiden Shaw's assistant, he made her feel suffocated.
Jesse Rivers said nothing more, suddenly worrying about the little woman who'd been shocked.
No one knew what would happen next between Aiden Shaw and Tiana Thorne.
…
After leaving the hospital, Tiana Thorne got into Aiden Shaw's car.
Once they left the city center, she shed all her good girl facade, leaning back lazily against the leather seat.
Looking at Aiden Shaw, she flashed a bewitching smile, her voice irresistibly seductive: "Tonight... Brother Aiden, are we having dinner or treating wounds?"
Aiden Shaw's eyes darkened a shade deeper, and he stopped the car directly by the side of the road.
