DAMN IT!

Ramon only glanced at Hailee when she said that and chose to return to take care of the things that he thought were more important.

Just then, someone knocked on the door and Ramon invited them in. It turned out to be a woman Hailee had seen earlier, she brought two cups of coffee for Hailee and Ramon.

However, when she saw the coffee cup, Hailee frowned. "But, I don't drink coffee."

"Then don't drink," replied Ramon heartlessly.

This annoyed Hailee. She looked at the woman who had come with an expression that seemed as if she was forced to smile.

"Can I have some tea instead?" Hailee asked as she returned the coffee cup she gave her earlier.

"All right, wait a moment." the woman replied with a sweet smile and brought back the coffee cup that Hailee gave her.

But, Hailee didn't know that; as soon as the woman left she was immediately attacked by other fellow employees who were curious about her face.

"That girl looks like she is about twenty years old, looks very young and beautiful. I think she is the daughter of one of the most respected families in town A," she told the other three female employees who surrounded her.

"But, what does that have to do with Mr. Tordoff?" asked one of the women, who could not contain her curiosity. "Is she his future wife?"

Immediately the four of them screamed and closed their mouths so that they weren't too noisy.

"I don't know, I'm not sure," while speaking, she started to make the tea Hailee ordered. "At first I thought so ... but ..."She hung up her sentence and this made the others curious.

"But?" they asked.

"But, it looks like Mr. Tordoff did not treat her any special," she answered honestly.

Ramon Tordoff was rarely seen alone in his office with women, even if there were women in his office, it was certain that they were talking about business and nothing else.

However, now Ramon Tordoff took a young woman and even took the initiative to hold her hand when they entered the building. This alone had drawn many inquiries from staff who were curious about their relationship.

"How is Mr.Tordoff didn't treat her any special?" one of the women argued, she patted her partner's back softly. "Didn't you see that Mr. Tordoff led the woman into his office? What do you mean, he didn't treat that woman any special?"

"That's right, I also saw it earlier," the others also confirmed the argument.

However, the woman who had entered Ramon's study did not seem convinced that Ramon was treating the mysterious girl as his lover.

"Okay, I'll deliver this first," she said as she put the teacup, which she had made, onto the tray and walked towards Ramon's study for the second time.

However, before the woman could open the door, the door was already opened from the inside and Ramon led Hailee out of the room.

Hailee saw the woman bringing the tea she asked for and said in a low voice. "My tea..."

However, Ramon didn't listen to her and just kept walking away from there, without even slowing down his footsteps. Since he was holding her hand, Hailee had to follow his steps reluctantly.

"Can't you at least let me drink my drink first?" Hailee protested, she tried to make him lose her grip on her hand, but the man actually pulled her closer and whispered intently into Hailee's ear.

This of course generated wild speculation among the employees, who were secretly watching them.

"I can't wait to introduce you to them," said Ramon. A gush of his warm breath brushed Hailee's nape and it made her shudder as her heart started beating fast.

Hailee couldn't really afford to let her guard down in front of this man!

It wasn't without reason that Ramon did this. After he heard the conversation between Hailee and Ian, he understood the outline of the problems Hailee was facing and also about the district attorney for the city of T, Roland Dimatrio.

For certain circles, it was not a secret that Roland Dimatrio did have affairs with many women, although this was not widely known to the public, but it couldn't escape the wide ears of people like Ramon Tordoff.

This information helped Ramon to find out more about the reasons why Hailee chose to run away from her hometown, instead of claiming her parents' inheritance when she actually still had a family.

It seemed that it was not only Aileen who was involved in this, but there were also other people in the Tatum family who have malicious intentions towards this girl.

Ramon glanced at Hailee who was still grumbling beside him. He also found out from the phone conversation that Hailee had intended to run away before the wedding took place or to tell Ramon the truth, but it seemed that this girl was too scared to face the consequences of her lies.

Although technically, Ramon had now found out about this. However, he waited. What will Hailee do later.

Will she be honest? Or would she just run away from him? But, of course Ramon would not let Hailee take the second option. He already had plans with the Tatum's family company that he wanted to take over after their marriage.

"Wait a minute, a moment ..."Hailee said suddenly holding Ramon's hand that was about to push open the door of the meeting room, she looked at the door anxiously.

"What else?" asked Ramon impatiently." You will only introduce yourself in front of a few people."

"Let me take a breath first…" Hailee replied, she put her palms on Ramon's chest to stop the man from moving into the room. "Give me a minute to prepare."

Ramon found Hailee's request very unreasonable, but in the end he agreed and let her take a deep breath, exhale it, then took several more breaths.

If it annoyed each other, it was an unhealthy relationship, then Ramon and Hailee were actually in that unhealthy relationship.

They both seemed to be competing to exhaust each other's patience.

However, oddly enough for Ramon, he didn't have any objections. It was precisely in the midst of his life that was stagnant and felt boring because it was filled with the same routine every day, that Hailee's presence was an oasis itself for Ramon.

"Have you calmed down?" asked Ramon, glancing at the watch hanging sweetly on his left wrist.

"May I have one more minute?" Hailee bargained. This time she didn't have time to put on her mask because Ramon had dragged her away in a hurry.

"You can get as long as you want after this is over," replied Ramon who then immediately opened the door and pushed Hailee in.

And once Hailee was inside, she immediately realized that Ramon had lied to her.

That insolent man!
