\u201cYou still had the energy to yell at him? Why didn\u2019t you just tell him to leave?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla was confused by his question.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She felt even more anxious. \u201cYelling at him made me feel better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you never dared to yell at him before?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla was left even more speechless by that question.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven\u2019s expression darkened again, and he looked even more intimidating than before.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ayla had no idea what to do. She thought, It\u2019s really rare to see brothers who are on such bad terms. They practically feel sick just by being in the same room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla finally understood why Draven agreed to join her in annoying Troy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was because they really were disgusted with Troy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But they couldn\u2019t just keep standing there like this. Ayla forced herself to speak. \u201cMr. Storm, just wait until Monday.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven went quiet for a few seconds, then asked in a low voice, \u201cHave you really thought it through?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla replied eagerly, \u201cOf course!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not talking about the divorce.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven\u2019s expression was serious, his eyes locked on hers, and the way he looked at her made Ayla feel like she had to explain everything she was thinking. She froze for a second, then quickly said, \u201cIs this about Winnie? You never forgave me for that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I didn\u2019t bring it up, would you even remember? Are you planning to just let it slide like that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not it.\u201d From yesterday to today, Luke and Troy kept making trouble for her. So much had happened, she was just exhausted. And on the plane, Draven had been in a strange mood, so she never found the right time to apologize.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven\u2019s voice was cold. \u201cSo have you figured it out?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla answered, \u201cI think I get it now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGo ahead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI shouldn\u2019t have jumped to conclusions like James. Just because you were close to another woman doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re romantically interested in her. Mr. Storm, you\u2019ve always upheld your moral values. You\u2019d never get too close to a woman unless you meant it. If you liked someone, you\u2019d admit it openly, because there\u2019s nothing wrong with liking someone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Storm, did I get that right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Draven was silent for two seconds, then turned to open the door. He left without a word, shutting the door behind him, leaving Ayla standing in front of her own apartment, confused and lost.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla stood there for half a minute before finally going inside to rest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But her heart was still uneasy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After working with Draven for a month, she thought she\u2019d started to figure him out and could get along with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It turned out she\u2019d been wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t understand Draven at all. The way he had pressed her just now proved he was not an easy person to get along with.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She even thought of the time on the cruise, when Draven grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the wall \u2026 If he didn\u2019t have such strong self-control, who knew what might have happened?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Anyway, Draven always gave off a dangerous, aggressive vibe. She never stood a chance against him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The only reason things had gone smoothly so far was because Draven had chosen to tolerate her. It didn\u2019t matter who his secretary was-he\u2019d treat anyone the same way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you really can\u2019t get along with someone, then there\u2019s no point trying. Ayla figured she wouldn\u2019t be Draven\u2019s secretary forever, so she needed to consider whether this relationship was worth maintaining long-term.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Draven\u2019s status, there were plenty of reasons for Ayla to keep things smooth between them. Not to mention, he had always treated her well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since she couldn\u2019t handle it alone, she thought she\u2019d better ask for help.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Will was Draven\u2019s assistant, and Herman was Storm Group\u2019s vice president-neither was a good choice. After thinking it over, she thought of James. He was always getting on Draven\u2019s nerves, so he\u2019d know how to fix this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that in mind, Ayla called him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James was in Zheron and was really surprised to get her call. \u201cAyla, what made you think to call me? Did you miss me? Want me to hop on a plane and come see you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla replied, \u201cNo need for that. I just want your advice for something.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James knew how smart Ayla was, so he was genuinely curious about what she might need help with. \u201cYou need my advice? You\u2019re way smarter than I am, and I\u2019m just a regular guy. But since you\u2019ve asked, go ahead\u00a0<\/p>\n
and tell me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla thought, Yeah, right. There\u2019s nothing regular about you.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI made Mr. Storm mad. How do I fix it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James was just curious at first, but now he was excited. \u201cWhat happened? What did I miss?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ever since Will said Draven wasn\u2019t interested in Ayla, James had backed off trying to set them up. If Draven really didn\u2019t care, he knew to leave it alone-otherwise, he\u2019d just be making trouble for everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla briefly told him about the Winnie thing. \u201cHonestly, I just copied your words.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James said, \u201cDon\u2019t blame me! Even when I gossip about him and some woman, I pick carefully. Like, I picked you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla was speechless. \u201cYou sure did a good job at picking.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know what you did wrong? But if you joke about Draven and Winnie, it\u2019s different. I can tease him about his relationship with Winnie, and he wouldn\u2019t mind. But if you joke about Draven and Winnie, it\u2019s a different story.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was just Draven\u2019s secretary-she wasn\u2019t a childhood friend like James.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. You don\u2019t understand at all.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHuh?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause you matter more to him than me. If the woman I liked accused me of flirting with someone else, I\u2019d be pissed. If I liked you and you thought I was some player, I\u2019d be really upset. So of course he doesn\u2019t want you to get the wrong idea.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
