Chapter 30: Boss Woman

"How was Gianna this morning?"

Athena opened her tablet, as she questioned Aiden, her driver and bodyguard.

To the outsiders, he was a mere driver with lean muscles, but Athena had trained with him in the same martial arts academy, and knew what he was capable of.

She was actually honored to have him, even though he claimed that he was the one honored to serve her.

"Gianna looked downtrodden this morning. She tried covering her dull face with make-up, and an earnestness to work, but I thought she still looked sad. I think she will also be working late today; she told me to let you know that you should pick up the kids after school."

Athena sighed, and looked up.

"Did something happen last night or earlier this morning?"

"They used their skills again." Athena muttered, swiping through pages on her tablet.

Aiden chuckled softly, smoothly moving the car through edges. "You know you shouldn’t begrudge them, they are only looking out for you."

"But it should be the other way around..." Athena cut in frustratingly.

"I want a level battleground with Ewan... I don’t want my kids having their childhood tainted with crisis. They should leave that to me."

Aiden sighed, and parked the car by the side of the road.

Athena came down immediately and joined him in the front seat.

This was like a ritual for them.
