The Billionaire's Mistake

Chapter 283: Broken friendships

Lydia's blood raged in her veins. Aiden was here. She looked at Jason apologetically then she stood.

"It seems the guests out back in your garden are people I know. Including a self-proclaimed manager who has been blocking all sales of my art," Lydia said and Jason suddenly understood what was going on. "Do you mind, if I have a word with this manager?" Lydia asked and Jason shook his head asking her to go ahead.

Lydia marched out of the office and into the gallery. She made her way to the entrance leading out to the gallery's back garden and spotted Aiden at a glance. He was standing with Sandra. She had her hands all over him as usual. It used to bother Lydia in the past. Sandra's behaviour was the core of a lot of their quarrels. But right now, Lydia did not care.

Aiden noticed her walking close and started to smile when Lydia walked up to him and threw a slap.

The slap sent Aiden to the floor quickly. His ears rang and his vision blurred. Sandra was instantly alarmed and rushed up to get in between them.

"For god's sake Lydia, what has gotten into you? I just hosted a party for him, there is no way to act this way even if you didn't want him to attend," Sandra basically screamed in her face.

"Get out of the way," Lydia had no time for Sandra's dramatics. Sandra was a classic actress. In a few words, she made Lydia out to be a jealous girlfriend.

Lydia did not bother explaining. This girl for some reason always saw her as competition despite the fact that she had broken up with Aiden years ago.

"No matter what, you can't..." Sandra started to say, but Lydia pushed her out of the way. Aiden had already gotten to his feet at this point.

"What the hell?" he shouted at Lydia.

"Did you claim to be my manager and take calls from art collectors without my knowledge?" Lydia asked and Aiden froze.

"You are not used to the art world. Is it bad for me to look out for my best friend?" Aiden asked. Best friend? That was when they were children. Then they dated and everything ended.
