Chapter 15 An Unexpected Punch in the Face “Ask Xavier to find out what happened back then,” he
ordered Jonathan after a few moments. “Yes, sir.” Jonathan nodded and walked away. I knew she
needed money badly, hence why she even schemed me in the first place. But I didn’t realize there was
so much going on even before that… If she had known I was the sponsor all this while, does that mean
our first meeting was also part of the scheme? …
“Hey, I noticed Mia was just here. She’s been running around here a lot lately,” one of the waiters at the
Patheon Club’s staff lounge commented as he was switching shifts. “Take a look at who’s here today. It
would be odd if she didn’t show up.” “Did you witness the incident in front of Patheon Club a while ago?
Mia is extremely brave. She hides the fact that she is pregnant with President Pearson’s child and she
even ran to his wife to show off and make a fuss. She really wants the whole world to know that she’s a
mistress,” another waiter said.
In the midst of the conversation, a figure in the corner came to a halt. “We’re talking about President
Pearson’s mistress here. She shamelessly rides on his coattails and now she’s pregnant. Mia is
working hard to get Mrs. Pearson out of the way so she can join the Pearson Family. Once she enters
the Pearsons, her social status is gonna elevate to the sky; that’s what mistresses are capable of.” “It’s
also strange to see that President Pearson frequently visits the Patheon Club with Mr. Woodley and the
others, but he never brings his wife here. Is their relationship that terrible?”
“I bet you don’t know about this. Leanna, his wife, wormed her way into the Pearsons. I heard from our
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmanager that she was sold to the Patheon Club and ended up in his bed. She forced him to marry her
because she was expecting his child. The Pearsons didn’t want to make a big deal out of it because
they didn’t want to jeopardize their family’s reputation, so they let her marry into their family.” “Yes, I
heard about that as well. I’ve also heard that President Pearson despises her. He usually avoids
touching her. Otherwise, how come they have been married for three years and have yet to have a
child? You must understand how much wealthy families value a descendant. Now that Mia is
pregnant… tsk tsk, I believe Leanna’s status is insecure.”
Bang! At that moment, someone slammed the locker door shut with a great force. A gloomy young man
emerged from the corner and cast a cold glance at them before walking away with a blank expression.
“What’s with the tantrum? It’s not like anyone offended him,” a disgruntled voice muttered.
“He’s only a part-timer, but he’s arrogant just because he’s the manager’s blue-eyed boy.” “I know right.
I heard the manager say he’s the provincial champion this year. He’s attractive and it’s natural for him
to be a little crazy.” A man approached the bar just as the manager had requested someone to deliver
drinks to Aidan’s private room. “I’ll deliver it instead,” Louis said as he went up to the manager.
His colleague, who happened to have diarrhea, allowed him to take over the shift. “Louis, I heard that
President Pearson is not in a good mood today. You should be more careful. Exit the room after you’ve
delivered their drinks.” “Roger that.” When Louis pushed open the private room door, he saw Mia was
sitting next to Aidan, attempting to lean against him. Louis then slammed the wine on the table and said
in a harsh tone, “The wine you ordered has arrived.” Mia was startled and her movements came to a
halt. It had been a long while since she last saw Aidan. When she heard that he would be at the
Patheon Club today, she quickly dashed over to meet him. However, Mia was confused about her
status at this point.
Sure, Aidan brought her along on several occasions before, but all she did was merely stand beside
him with no further progress. She expected Aidan to be furious after her previous fake pregnancy was
exposed, however, he only warned her with a few words. The resources he had given to her still
remained as usual, thus proving that she still had a chance. Everyone was anticipating for her to make
a fool out of herself; the words were that she was nothing more than Aidan’s whim and that she was
unqualified to sleep in his bed at all. Therefore, she made it a point that she must gain something from
him today. After being startled by Louis, she kept her cool and uttered softly to Aidan, “President
Pearson, you seem to be a little drunk. Why don’t I take you back… Ah!!!!” All of a sudden, a glass of
wine poured over her before she reacted and jumped. “What are you doing?!”
“I’m sorry, my hand slipped,” Louis apologized nonchalantly as he picked up the glass that had fallen
on the table. Mia could not express her rage as the waiter in front of her was surprisingly attractive.
Oscar, who was watching the fun aside, was about to head to the bathroom when he abruptly asked,
“Why are you so enraged, young man? I saw everything you did just now.” “Oh, it was on purpose.”
This time, not only Mia but Aidan also raised his eyes and cast a glance at him. She scolded, “You
must be crazy! Did I offend you?” “Who said you have to provoke me for me to bother you?” “You…”
The raging Mia was so furious that she could not speak for a few moments. At this point, the manager
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwho had heard about the commotion came quickly to apologize, “President Pearson and Miss Clark,
I’m very sorry. This is our new part-timer and he crossed the line due to his ignorance.” “Ignorance?
I don’t think he’s ignorant at all! In fact, I think he knows exactly what he’s doing; he just said it himself
that he did it on purpose. If you don’t explain yourself today, don’t you think about leaving!” “I’m sorry,
Miss Clark. This is our fault,” the manager said as he dragged Louis over before whispering, “Louis,
quick! Apologize to Miss Clark.” However, Louis stood motionless and his gaze fixed on the man sitting
on the couch. Aidan stood up with no intention of dealing with the matter, so he uttered lightly to Oscar
before leaving, “I’ll go first.” “I’ll send you off, President Pearson…” At the sight of Aidan’s departure,
the anxious Mia no longer cared about the offensive part-timer and went after him instead. However,
her foot was caught as soon as she took a step. Stumbling and struggling in the air, she was then
instantly rescued by a helping hand. She looked up to find the man who had just poured wine over her
smirking mockingly while looking at her with coldness in his eyes.
The helping hand happened to be one who also tripped her. At the peak of her volcanic eruption, Mia
was just about to rage before Louis shook off her hand and strode away. Now, she had nowhere to vent
her rage; all she could do was stomp her feet angrily and flee. Outside of the private room, Aidan was
holding his phone in one hand while his slender finger was resting on a number he never ended up
dialing. At the thought of Leanna’s reminiscence toward her first love at the press conference earlier, he
realized she was up to no good. Isn’t it ironic to talk about first love at this age?
This became the very reason why he refrained from making the call. As a result, he placed his phone
into his pants pocket and… Pow! Before he knew it, he just took a punch in his face. He stumbled back
and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb before raising his head slowly.
