It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 116: PROVOCATION (2)

Giana felt the cold night air against her skin and cursed herself for forgetting to bring a coat to protect herself from the night wind.

But, who would have guessed that she would suggest this place to have a conversation with Ramon? Giana didn't consider this factor at all.

This was simply out of plan, but she needed this short precious moment to have a talk with Ramon, thus the coldness that crept on her skin was worth it.

And now, she could only rely on the champagne in her hand to warm herself while waiting for him. The warm liquid flew down from her throat and spread on her body.

It was just that, even after ten minutes had passed, Ramon didn't come, and from where Giana was standing, she could see that Ramon was still busy chatting with several people, without even glancing at her.

Maybe soon…

Maybe it was because there were a lot of people and Ramon didn't want to attract too much attention, therefore, it took him a little longer to approach her.

Giana knew Ramon, and the man is always alert.

That was why, all Giana could do now was wait, like what she had always been doing for the past two years and also these past two months. Waiting for Ramon to contact her again.

And during those two years, Ramon had never let her down. The wait would always bear sweet fruit. And that was all Giana could do now.

The tense and secret meetings with Ramon were always what Giana had been looking forward to, and those never really failed to make her feel much more alive.

"Ramon?" Giana turned her head when she heard the sound of approaching footsteps, but her happy expression changed immediately when she found that Dillon was the one who had approached her. "What are you doing here?" Giana narrowed her eyes in displeasure.

"Giana, stop this. He will not come to see you here," Dillon said quietly. He called out to Giana informally. Because he was advising her as a friend and not as a personal assistant who had been following her for the past three years.

Dillon then nodded toward the small crowd of people who were approaching Ramon, because they wanted to be on good terms with the Tordoffs, or to pitch business deals in a subtle way, over small talk.

Giana then followed Dillon's gaze and noticed Ramon's situation which seemed to make it impossible for him to leave the people surrounding him any time soon.

"I will stay here." Giana was firm on her stand. "You don't know him Dillon, he will come."

'Ramon hasn't come to her yet because he still can't get away from them. Yes, it must be because of that.'

Giana gave reasons for herself, as if justifying her current actions while ignoring Dillon's few words of advice altogether.

Seeing how stubborn Giana was, Dillon could only sigh heavily and shake his head.

After that, he gave her the wine glass in his hand while taking the empty champagne glass from Giana's hand, so that the woman could stay warm.

"If that's what you want, then I have no other choice," Dillon said before he stepped off from the balcony, where Giana stayed waiting for Ramon for an unknown amount of time.

==============

Hailee really didn't want to go back in and continue the small talk with the socialites, especially after the toilet incident.

Hailee was disgusted with the high- class circle people as she thought they were too hypocritical. Although it was certain that not everyone were like that, but right now Hailee just wanted to be alone.

At first, Hailee intended to look for Ramon and, if possible, ask to take her home, or at least stay near him. It didn't matter if she didn't say anything or had to listen to boring business chit chat, but at least she would be around the man she knew and it would make Hailee feel better.

However, when she found Ramon, he was in the middle of a small talk with some of the people surrounding him. Seven or eight men who at one glance, Hailee knew as some important people.

Therefore, Hailee chose to change her course of trajectory and walked toward the balcony nearby, which seemed deserted.

Then, without thinking much, Hailee took a step onto it.

Hailee thought she wouldn't find anyone here, and considering the night wind is so cold, who wanted to be out here?

It was just that, her estimation was so wrong as she found Giana.

Bad luck.

"Oops," Hailee muttered and instinctively walked backward, away from the balcony.

Why was Giana in the balcony?!

It felt like chatting with the socialite women was much more interesting than being alone with this woman.

Unfortunately, Giana had seen Hailee and she didn't intend to let her go.

"Come here," Giana said. "I am willing to share the space. Or are you afraid to face me?"

It was Giana's last words that made Hailee stop walking and sigh heavily. She knew she wouldn't be able to refuse this because she didn't want Giana to think she was afraid of facing her.

Of course Hailee wasn't afraid, she just didn't like Mrs. Smith, who was dressed this sexy.

"Looks like, apart from the balcony, you are generous enough to share a lot of things," Hailee replied to Giana's words with deep sarcasm in hers.

Of course Giana wasn't stupid and she could grasp the implied meaning in Hailee's words quite easily.

However, she had lived long enough to be able to handle such words of sarcasm, and again, it was not the first satirical line she had heard.

"Not really, I am pretty picky." Giana looked at Hailee and shook the wine glass in her hand, in which the red liquid swirled with her movements. "And I choose only the best."

Giana glanced at Hailee with a provoking smile, making Hailee narrow her eyes and fold her arms across her chest, showing a defensive attitude.

"Looks like the two of us are very different." Hailee leaned her body on the iron railing that bordered the balcony as her eyes focused solely on the distant figure of Ramon. "Because I am too greedy to share what's already mine."

"Yes, I agree, we have different points of view on this matter," Giana said and continued again after a short pause. "Glad you finally chose to accompany me here, because I was waiting for Ramon and a little bored."

"Good." Hailee clapped her hands. "You can wait for him here as long as you want and I will go over to see if he is more interested in spending time with me alone in our room or not," Hailee said in a cheerful voice, intending to leave.

"You don't really like him, do you?" Giana ignored Hailee's earlier words and immediately asked the question she wanted to hear an answer for. "You and him are only in a mutually beneficial relationship, aren't you?"

Hailee stopped walking and furrowed her brows when she faced Giana again. This woman really couldn't just let it go.

"Ramon just wants to expand his business to the city of R, while you just want to make your ex- fiancé jealous because he prefers your foster sister," Giana said again.

She learned this information from Dillon and made the most likely assumption between Hailee and Ramon's relationship.

Hearing this, of course Hailee was surprised, but not because Giana knew about her engagement to Theodore, but how stupid the reason sounded.

And when Giana said it out loud like this, she felt that the possibility itself sounded way too ridiculous.

"Theodore Gevano, if I'm not mistaken. The name of your ex-fiancé, "Giana said, misinterpreting Hailee's shocked expression. "You know, I can make Mr. Gevano come back to you and make you the heir of Tatum Jewelry, as long as you cancel your marriage to Ramon."

For a moment, silence enveloped the two women and only music was heard from inside the hall and the cold night breeze against their skin.

However, in the next second, Hailee was laughing quite loudly and almost immediately yet hastily covered her mouth so as not to attract the attention of others.

What Giana said just now sounded way too funny in her ears. How could this smart woman make such a lousy offer?

Hailee laughed for a while and ignored the sharp gaze directed at her.

"Mrs. Smith." Hailee liked how Giana wrinkled her nose at the title. She didn't like it, so Hailee would do it again. "Mrs. Smith, first of all; as an only child, I am the heir to Tatum Jewelry, with or without your help, the company is mine.

"And secondly; getting my ex-fiancé back? Euh," Hailee made a disgusted expression when she said that. "A man who has an affair is better off just enjoying his time with an unknowing woman who bears my family's last name. They deserve to be with each other."

Giana squinted her eyes to see if Hailee was lying, but it seemed like she was telling the truth, or maybe she was just too good at acting?

"Mrs. Smith, you better go back to your husband and stop bothering my future husband, because as I said earlier, I'm too greedy to share." Hailee was about to walk away, but Giana had held her back with a statement.

"You don't know what kind of life people like us lead. Your relationship with Ramon will never work out."

Hailee glanced at Giana and tossed her hair. "Tell me that later after Ramon and I cradle our first grandchild."
