Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 20

“I saw the pictures on the Business Forum and Alex is investigating it.” Michael was checking out

her expression to see how she actually handling the rumors. “I’ve already removed the pictures and I

will also send an email to end all gossips. This is a business company and not the market.”

Michael was fuming of how they addressed Ariana as a prostitute. No one is allowed to disrespect

his woman.

“I haven’t offended anyone in the company. I knew something like this would happen.” Ariana did

not really care but she still felt a little dispirited over what happen.

“Do you think it has anything to do with that employee yesterday?” Michael suddenly remember

something and asked. He was also thinking that highly and likely it was not her. “No, it is not her. The

pictures on the forum was taken before we ran into her.” Michael answered his own question.

Ariana looked at him with a pair of innocent eyes, “I don’t think it is her either but who else it could

have been?” Ariana was not the one to make trouble but she seem to be a magnet to trouble. It always

finds her.

“Don’t worry honey, I called the Mall as soon as I found out. There should have been an account

linking to whoever made the post but this person is little smart but not smart enough.” Michael walked

over to her and pulled her to the couch to sit on his thighs. He played in her long waist length hair and

said softly.

“What do you mean?” Ariana looked at him and allowed him to do play with her until his finger

reached to her back and make traces and even though she was clothed she could still feel the tingling

feeling down her spine which result in her giving a soft moan.

Michael chuckled feeling proud.

“Michael stop it. We are at the office.” Ariana felt embarrassed after his amusement.

He placed his two hands up in surrender, “Fine.” Then he sigh and said, “They got a hacker to

make a dummy account so it is not easy to trace. I can easily do it myself to find out the correct IP

address but I might just find only the hacker. I want to find the culprit without going through the entire

interrogation of getting the information from the hacker.”

“So you are just going to have Alex watch the footages from the Mall to see who took the pictures

directly?” Ariana asked directly.

“Yes” Michael nodded.

“So what are you going to do when you find who is responsible?” Ariana asked out of curiosity.

That is person is really brave to mess with the CEO of The Matthews’ Group. The richest man in

Westron City and he had also made the list for one of the richest man in Forbes.

Michael thought for a while then answered, “I will let the Authorities take hold of the case.” Ariana

nodded. Ariana was trying to get up so she can get back to work.

Michael got upset and held her tighter, “Don’t move.”

“... but I want to get to work.”

“I want to hold you a little longer.” He hugged her and sniffed her hair that carries a vanilla

fragrance. Her entire body smelled like vanilla and he really liked that warmed feeling he gets when he

is next to her.

“Can you please behave yourself?” Ariana was fuming of how clingy he is.

“You don’t need to go to work until after lunch. I’ve already sent an email for you to go to the

Marketing Department.” Ariana looked at his with obvious happiness. She did not like being a

Secretary. “Why can’t I go now?”

“You need to go to HR to sign a new contract and the appointment is set for 2 in the evening.”

Michael did it on purpose because he wanted to bring her somewhere today.

“Why so late?” Ariana gazed at him accusingly but before he could answer, there was a knocked at

the door. “President, Its Alex. I got the result you needed.”

Ariana jumped out of his arms to sit by herself and Michael got up to go to his desk. He then

responded to Alex with a non-expressive tone, “Come in.”

Alex gave him the hard drive to watch the footage. After watching the video for five minutes, his

face change in apparent anger, “Where is she?”

Alex was efficient at his job, “In police custody.”

Michael nodded then he got up and went to door but not without gesturing to Ariana to follow. Alex

and Ariana followed suit.

They got to the station in ten minutes. Ariana learnt in the car that it was Gina who took the

pictures in the Mall. Only she would be stupid enough to do that.

“Where is Detective Williams?” Michael was arrogant but the officers didn’t seem to mind his

arrogance as if they are used to. One of the officers walked off and came back in a few minutes

followed by a tall and handsome man, he was wearing suit that fitted his muscles so well. You can tell

by looking at him that he works out a lot. He walked directly to Michael and give his shoulder a push,

“Man, I thought you had forgotten about your friends. You only know me when you need something.”

The guy was cursing but he was laughing.

Ariana was looking between the two of them and even though Michael still seem indifferent, she

could tell they are friends.

“Keep touching me if you wants to lose that hand of yours.” Michael spat out indifferently.

“Bastard, you dare to threaten me in a Police station?” the officer started fuming.

“What can you do about it?” Michael knew how to get to Malcolm. He noticed that Ariana was

staring at them puzzled so he pulled her closer to him and introduced her. “Malcolm, this is my wife

Ariana Fearon.” Ariana blushed.

Malcolm smiled and stretched his hand out for a handshake while raising his eyebrow at Michael.

He turned his attention to Ariana when he did not get any explanation from Michael, “Hi Ariana, nice to

meet you. I am your bastard husband bestfriend Malcolm Williams.” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Ariana shook his hands. Michael looked at their hands meeting and pulled Ariana hand a way then

glared at Malcolm, “Go find your own wife if you want to shake hands.”

“…” everyone was speechless. How can he be so unreasonable?

“… and who is your bestfriend? Have I ever confirmed?” Michael stared daggers at Malcolm.

Ariana was quite enjoying their bickering.

“If I am not your bestfriend, then who is?” Malcolm pretended to feel wronged and hurt by Michael.

“Enough of your nonsense now. Where is she?” Michael finally stopped the ongoing charade.

Malcolm gotten serious as well and led them to a room. He looks like a complete different person

when he was being serious. He had an image of intimidation.

As soon as they got in the room, they saw Gina handcuffed to a chair cursing at another officer.

Ariana shook his head ‘This stupid woman’.
