Chapter 307
After a long silence, Holden sent another message.
“Do you care about Theodore?”
Ariana paused and frowned slightly, as if she was in deep thought.
Then mcd replied, “My relationship with Theodore isn’t so simple.
This is about my interests too.

Holden noticed that she wasn’t going to reveal any other information.
Instead, he sent her a smiling emoji and a message that read, “I was just joking.
The BRD Group and Theodore have reached a win-win agreement, and this cooperation isn’t as simple as it seems.
”
Seeing the words “win-win”, Ariana felt relieved.
However, she still asked, “Really?”
Holden replied, “If you don’t believe me, ask your husband.
”
Ariana didn’t know what to say, so she cut her conversation with Holden short for now.
In the evening, it began to drizzle.
With no umbrella to keep her dry, Ariana waited by the company gate and decided to take a bus.
At that moment, her mobile phone rang, Theodore’s name popped up on the screen so she immediately answered.

“What’s wrong?”
“Cross the street.
”
With those three words, the call ended.
Ariana was speechless.
She looked at the opposite side of the street and discovered a familiar car parked under a huge tree.
Horace was waving at her from the driver’s seat.
Ariana happened to have something to ask Theodore.
She turned up her collar to cover her face before looking around to make sure that no one was watching.
Then, she trotted across the street.
Before getting in the car, she bent down to look around and make sure no one was looking at her.
Then, she quickly entered the vehicle.
“Hurry up.
Don’t let anyone see us.
” Ariana was worried, carefully looking out the window like a thief urging Horace to drive her away from the scene of her crime.
Theodore’s expression darkened as he asked in a discontented tone, “Is being seen with me something to be ashamed of? Why are you acting like you’ve just committed a crime?”

A confused-looking Ariana turned around to face a slightly angry Theodore.
She frowned and said, “I thought we agreed that we can’t expose our relationship.
It’s part of the bet so we need to stick to it.
”
Not knowing how to retort, Theodore furiously knocked on the partition and ordered, “Drive.
”
“Yes, sir,” Horace carefully answered as he began to slowly start up the car.
Minutes of silence passed by in the back seat, but it was soon broken by Ariana.
“Well, 1 know what happened in the shareholders’ meeting.
”
Theodore tured to look at her with raised eyebrows, signaling to her to continue.
Ariana cleared her throat before doing so.
“Why did you contact the BRD Group out of nowhere? Did they take the initiative to go to you?”
