Chapter 40 Are You Trying To Go After Me?
Yolanda didn't finish her sentence deliberately and leave some space for Aaron to imagine.
It turned out this worked. Aaron did come back.
Haha.
Yolanda pretended that she didn't understand him and said, "If you can't sleep, I can video-chat with you, sing for you, or buy you a banana. I can also find hypnotic music for you..."
She tried her best to describe how thoughtful she was. Aaron smiled and said, "Are you done?"
Yolanda was speechless.
She made an innocent look and asked, "What do you think I will do?"
She thought, "You name it."
"Just say it if you dare."
Aaron felt so hot that even his teeth and tongue were itching.
He looked at the front of the car and nodded, "All right."
He would play back all the tricks to this woman.
"Brother, are you agree to cooperate with me?"
"I'll consider it."
Yolanda didn't know what to say.
She looked out of the window and said, "Well, it doesn't matter. I won't force you. Anyway, I already mortgaged my car and house to pay the 15 million. I also sold all my bags. It's fine. You don't need to sympathize with me."
Aaron almost laughed out.
"Don't worry. I don't have time to sympathize with you."
Yolanda was speechless.
Just then, the driver asked, "Boss, where are we going now?"
Yolanda tried to be more active and opened her mouth before Aaron...
"Brother, it's time to eat. How about I invite you to dinner?"
After all, they were at Yolanda's hometown. It was polite to show hospitality.
Aaron didn't refuse this time.
After returning back to Darlington, Yolanda seldom came out to play. Firstly, it was because her family went bankrupt, and she had no money to squander like in the old days; secondly, she wanted to run her own company well.
Today, she took Aaron to a French restaurant where she used to come when she was wealthy.
The dishes here couldn't be counted as the most expensive, but the cuisine was authentic. The ingredients were shipped by air from the producing area, and the chefs were all at French Michelin level.
The restaurant was on the first floor of a five-star hotel. Outside of the window was a meadow full of sunshine. Flowers were everywhere in the restaurant, and the overall atmosphere was full of strong French romance.
When it first opened, Yolanda wanted to come with her boyfriend and enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by romance.
But James was filming abroad at that time.
Unexpectedly...
The first man who came here with her was Aaron.
It was destined to be with him from the beginning, probably.
Yolanda thought about this and laughed secretly. Aaron guessed that she might think about something related to him, so he tapped her head with the menu and asked, "What's so funny?"
Yolanda paused and lighted rubbed herself, saying, "I'm a beautiful investor now, is it appropriate for you to hit me like that?"
Aaron didn't know what to say.
She was such an extraordinary confidential woman.
Yolanda was offended by his contemptuous expression, so she sat straight and asked, "What? Am I unworthy of an investor or a beauty?"
Aaron didn't want to argue with her and said, "I would take a cigarette outside. You can order first."
This feeling was very familiar. As if they were back to the days when they were eating hot pots. It was so natural and intimate.
Yolanda delightedly looked at the menu.
She said, "I want an onion and mushroom truffle soup, a lobster, and two beefsteaks..."
"Hey, Yolanda." A discordant voice suddenly came.
Yolanda had been back for one month. She knew she might meet Wendy someday, but never did she expect that they would meet today, at this restaurant.
It was not hard to guess, since both of them like to come here in the old days.
Wendy sat down immediately and said, "I've heard that you came back. Why don't call me to play?"
Yolanda looked at the menu calmly and said, "I'm very busy."
Wendy said sourly, "Yes, busy. With your small company, right?" She then introduced Yolanda to the girls accompanying her, "Do you know that Yolanda has opened her own company? It's in the office building on Sunshine Avenue. Do you know how big it is? A hundred square feet."
Wendy was still angry at Yolanda because she had destroyed the meeting between her and Aaron. Now that she saw Yolanda came back to Darlington and opened a small company, Wendy thought she must be dumped by Aaron.
As Wendy sneered, the surrounding girls also laughed at her. Yolanda raised her head and looked at Wendy seriously.
Yolanda used to think Wendy was arrogant and wanted to go against her, but for no reason, she now just felt Wendy was childish and ridiculous.
Probably because she had been with Aaron for a long time, she would focus on bigger things and didn't care to argue with a woman like Wendy.
Yolanda waved her hand and told the waiter she was disturbed by Wendy. Then the waiter asked Wendy to leave.
"I'm sorry. Could you please find another seat?"
Wendy hated to see Yolanda being so serious. She thought Yolanda was just using silence to cover up her incompetence.
"You were very impressive last time and went together with Mr. Jensen. So what? Are you getting dumped by him? Coming back since there was nowhere to go?"
Yolanda looked up again and was about to speak. Several waiters came and asked Wendy to leave.
"I'm sorry. Someone has booked our restaurant, so could you leave now? Don't disturb our guests to eat."
"Book the whole restaurant?" Wendy was stunned and looked around, "Who?"
Just then, a figure slowly sat down in front of her. The man looked at her coldly.
Wendy was speechless.
She immediately understood what was going on. Her hands fell down and held up tight the strap. Her lips moved, but she couldn't make a sound.
Aaron didn't even look at her. He picked up the menu and said lightly, "Can you disappear?"
Wendy stood up stiffly and tried to say something. Fortunately, she was stopped by a few friends. They went out of the restaurant embarrassingly.
After they left, Aaron raised his eyes and asked Yolanda, "Do you just remain silent when others make you trouble?"
Yolanda wanted to explain that she didn't want to argue with fools, but she changed her mind when she opened her mouth, "Because I know my brother will protect me."
Aaron was speechless.
Yolanda then remembered that the band who was supposed to play at Wendy's birthday party a few months ago suddenly refused to show up. She asked, "Brother, do you remember Wendy once invited Peter to play on her birthday? The band didn't come that day. Did you plan this for me?"
Aaron put down the menu and looked at her. He said, "Do you think you are that attractive to me?"
Yolanda thought for a few seconds and said, "Yes."
Aaron again got speechless.
He had been speechless many times to this woman.
Aaron didn't say anything, and his phone rang.
It was Rose.
"Where are you?"
"Having dinner."
"Great, now you just eat without your sister. Are you seeing someone?"
"What's the matter?"
"I've told you about the most famous Y3 Bar in Darlington. It reopens tomorrow night. Shall we go there for fun before we leave? I've booked some seats. Call your friends in Darlington to come. I'll bring some friends too."
...
After hanging up the phone, Aaron thought for a second and asked Yolanda.
"Are you available tomorrow night?"
Yolanda didn't expect that Aaron would invite her to a bar.
She knew it was not strange that many celebrities would gather around in Darlington, since Aaron was also in the city.
But Aaron was also willing to bring her, which indicated that they two had got closer.
Yolanda didn't know who would come to the party. As a new investor, she spent the whole afternoon dressing up. She wanted to be both elegant and charming at night.
She carefully chose the proper color for her lipstick and blush. She also chose a suit to show her good temperament.
Whatever it took, she should be the only woman that attracted Aaron tonight.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Yolanda was getting ready to leave when Marc suddenly called.
He just came back from Buxton and might know what had happened at the auction. He asked, "Why would you change our project? And, how do you get involved with that man again?"
It was a long story, and Yolanda was in a hurry.
She answered, "Brother, can I talk to you about it tomorrow? I need to leave now."
Marc said, "I'm going upstairs to find you. Where are you going?"
Yolanda didn't know what to say.
Such a coincidence. Marc then drove Yolanda to the bar.
On the way to the bar, Yolanda told Marc her plan.
"If I can work together with Azel Group on this project. It's more beneficial for us."
Marc asked, "Does he agree with it?"
This was no more than supporting the poor. How could a big company like Azel Group work with such a small company?
"He will say yes." Yolanda looked down and thought for a while. She added firmly, "I believe he will."
Marc thought he could end the complex relationship between Yolanda and Aaron after bringing her back to Darlington. What he didn't expect was that the two of them end up together anyway.
As Yolanda's brother, he couldn't control everything for her. This time it was her loving affair.
Although he didn't think this would end well, he could do nothing about it.
"Fine, you make your own decisions."
"OK."
When they reached the bar, Yolanda got off the car and waved at Marc, "You can go first. He will take me home later."
Marc didn't know what to say.
He sighed.
Aaron seemed to be more important than Marc, her true brother.
At the Y3 Bar.
Yolanda thought her active moves finally paid off, but as she dressed up and showed in the party, there was already a beautiful woman sitting beside Aaron.
The woman and Aaron were very intimate, judging by their distance and talking manners.
Yolanda recognized that she was the same woman who appeared at the restaurant the other day.
Azel Studio was like an imperial harem that gathered countless women. Among them were famous stars. They were divided into different groups and fought for more attention and power. Aaron was in the highest position, and he could have all kinds of women as he liked.
Rumors said that both Sally and Sandra had slept with him to be famous.
Since Yolanda didn't show up in Capital, so god knew who had become his new favorite after Sandra.
Yolanda was being a little emotional. Just when she wanted to leave, the beauty called her, "Hey, don't stand there. Come and join us."
Then the beauty asked her friends, "Who is she?"
Rose didn't like staying in a box. She wanted to interact with the DJ in the center of the hall, so that she could feel the distinct bar culture. Tonight was an exception.
Since the beauty was so active, it was not polite for Yolanda to leave.
She could lose the game, but not the face. Yolanda made up her mind and started finding a seat.
The seat beside Aaron had been taken.
On his left was sitting Rose, and right Lenny. There were also some unfamiliar guys sitting around him.
Just at that moment, Aaron asked Lenny to move and asked Yolanda to sit next to him.
Yolanda thought, "What the hell? Do you want to hold two women?"
"How crazy."
"No way. I won't satisfy your demand."
Yolanda smiled and said, "It's OK. I can sit here to see the handsome guy." She pointed at the DJ and sat in a corner.
Aaron was speechless.
Rose now realized that Yolanda was a friend of Aaron. With a second look, she remembered she had run into Yolanda the other day at the restaurant.
What a beautiful woman with good looking and nice body figure.
As the sister of Aaron, Rose wanted to set her up with her brother.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Rose asked Yolanda as an old friend.
Yolanda looked at Aaron.
She thought, "What does she mean?
"The woman just sat near me and asked me whether I have a boyfriend."
"What's her intention?"
"Does she mean Aaron is her boyfriend and way out of my league?"
Yolanda smiled and said, "Not yet."
Rose was excited and added, "How about I introduce one to you?"
Yolanda looked at Aaron again.
She thought, "Could you say something?"
"The woman wants to introduce a boyfriend to me."
Aaron just propped his elbows against the sofa. Not only did he make no sound, he even seemed to be waiting for an answer.
Yolanda was angry.
She turned around and said gracefully, "No need to bother. There are too many people chasing me. I can't handle it."
Rose didn't know what to say.
The DJ started to play the disc, and Rose was distracted. She stopped the conversation with Yolanda and greeted everyone excitedly, "Come on, everyone. Stop sitting around. This is a bar, not a Buddhist hall."
After that, a bunch of people were dragged by Rose to dance on the dance floor.
Only Yolanda and Aaron were left in the booth.
Yolanda seemed to be calm as if she was looking at the handsome guy seriously.
After a few seconds, Aaron sat up straight. He put down the wine glass and got closer to her, "You can't handle all your admirers, and still have time to handle me, right?"
Under the strong electronic music rhythm, his low voice slowly came to her ears from her cheeks. It was so attractive.
... Like sand came into her ears, very itchy.
Although she was kind of losing control, Yolanda tried to stay calm.
"Are you trying to go after me? I don't know that."
