Chapter 66 Working Woman\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla moved behind Draven and started working. She stayed focused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Will stayed beside James and kept quiet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Someone came over to socialize, so Ayla leaned in closer to Draven. She spoke near his ear and gave him the guest\u2019s identity. Blake had given her the files, and she remembered every single detail.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That one move made Troy stop walking. His face turned cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jed looked stunned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla was not Will\u2019s secretary. She was Draven\u2019s secretary. This felt like a slap across Troy\u2019s face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jed wondered if Ayla had gone completely insane.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His expression darkened. He glanced at Troy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy pulled his gaze away and walked deeper into the hall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was lucky he did not care enough about Ayla to react.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jed shot Ay suddenly\u00a0<\/p>\n
Furious glare. She failed to hold Troy\u2019s heart when she had three years to try, and he crstood why. She was hopeless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla stared at Ayla standing only inches away from Draven.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That distance was way too close.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Did Ayla think she could seduce Draven just because she worked for him now?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Or was she trying to make Troy jealous?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla felt disgusted. Ayla looked cheap.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rolf had no emotional reaction. He just watched her like she was a joke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then he noticed his father walk over to greet Draven. His father even shook Ayla\u2019s hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla shook back with a calm expression, as if she belonged there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How shameless can she be?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rolf felt his stomach twist like he swallowed something disgusting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stepped away with Troy so his mood would not get worse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max kept watching. He only relaxed once he was sure Ayla was just Draven\u2019s secretary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He turned away. That was when James saw him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max\u2019s expression stayed blank. He turned and left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James scoffed. \u201cSeriously? He still holds a grudge over something from when we were kids?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Herman looked up fast. \u201cYou talking about someone in this room?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James said, \u201cMy little cousin. 1 teased him until he cried. Total coward.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Herman stared at him. \u201cDid it ever cross your mind that maybe you were the problem?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James laughed and did not argue. He stepped away and walked toward Ayla instead. \u201cYou look pretty tonight,\u201d James said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla saw he was only being polite. She nodded. \u201cThank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour husband is ugly,\u201d James said. \u201cYou should divorce him. He does not deserve you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had seen the cold look Troy sent her. If it were not for the setting, James would have told Troy off in front of everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy had no courage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was petty. He held grudges.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla and James were not close the way she was with Will. His comment crossed a line.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Reagen, that is my personal matter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James shrugged. \u201cFine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla thought that was the end of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He took a few steps forward, then came back and leaned close to her ear. \u201cIf he bullies you again, call me. I do not care if I have to fly out of Zheron in the middle of the night. I will show up. If you need me to hit your husband, I will do it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James matched every memory Ayla had of Zheron men. Loud. Loyal. Always ready to fight for someone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are too kind to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James grinned. \u201cI do not do this for most people. I only do it because I like you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla let her guard down for the first time. \u201cThank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James lit up like he won something. It was not easy to break through her cold shell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was about to keep talking when Draven suddenly called Ayla\u2019s name.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla walked over. She checked the guest who approached Draven and reported the person\u2019s background like she was reading from a file.\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
James stared at Draven\u2019s head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven did that on purpose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He did not want James talking to Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla watched the whole thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her brows tightened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla could blend in with the Zheron heirs?\u00a0<\/p>\n
That made no sense. Her social skills were terrible. Skyla assumed Ayla was only getting by because people still thought she was Troy\u2019s wife.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The thought made her scorn Ayla even more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla turned away with a cold expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bria was the most upset person in the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She showed up ready to laugh at Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Ayla saw Bria\u2019s brother and Skyla, she barely reacted before looking away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At first Bria thought Ayla was shaken. Then Draven arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla calmly stepped behind him. She talked to him like nothing was wrong. She did not look afraid at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The shock hit Bria hard. As hard as Alya divorcing Troy\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven terrified people without trying. Ayla talking to him without flinching felt unreal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bria\u2019s face went pale.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Renee kept admiring the Storm Group CEO. She turned and saw Bria\u2019s expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened to you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bria grabbed her wrist tight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was shaking. She was terrified.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Renee asked, \u201cWho scared you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bria whispered, \u201cD\u2026 Draven.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
