Chapter 234: Matters Arising III

What now? Athena wondered, taking a slow survey of Aiden’s profile.

She noted his more-than-necessary taut muscles, the clear discomfort etched on his countenance, the tight grip on the steering wheel, his lips pressed in a firm, unyielding line, and the subtle twitch that danced across his nose at intervals. Oh, thiswasserious, she finally deducted. It was surely something related to the ex-wife.

Had the old flame made a reappearance? But that was nearly impossible.

Athena swallowed, wondering the best way to navigate this unpredictable route.

"Did you see Gloria?" A tentative pause. "Did she contact you?"

Aiden scoffed bitterly immediately. "And why would she do that? She is so self-sufficient now!"

Athena opened her mouth to ask for more details, but then Aiden repeated his question from earlier, firmer this time, cutting her off, informing her that the topic of Gloria was closed.

Why was it that people around her all knew her story with Ewan, yet they wouldn’t venture to open the secrets of their own love lives? Gianna and Zane, Chelsea and Sandro, now Aiden. She sighed, and looked through the window, tapping her legs.

"Athena..."

"I don’t know where we should head over to." She answered crisply, unable to help herself.

"Why did you want to rush out of the meeting then?"

"I got a call from Old Mr. Thorne."

"And..."

"When I returned his call, he mentioned there was a problem, but before he could say what, the call ended. I don’t know what happened to his phone." Athena answered, feeling her heart rate pick up again.
