Chapter 127: Surprise package
I watched as their jaws dropped in an instant and their eyes widened with shock and surprise, carefully examining whatever that they were holding in their hands. Whispers and murmurs started to fill the air and their gaze immediately shifted to look at a clueless and confused Aaron.
His eyes were darting around anxiously as a frown rested between his brows while his mind struggled to comprehend the situation that was unfolding right before his eyes. That was only until we locked eyes from a distance and his eyes flashed with recognition and it finally clicked inside his head what might be happening.
He immediately reached out to roughly snatch the package out of one of his colleagues hands. His gaze flickered down to look at the package in his hands and within the next second, his eyes were swimming with horror and disbelief as he found himself looking at multiple images of him and Stella caught hugging and kissing, along with pictures he had taken with Serena and his two daughters.
A satisfied smile appeared on my face as I saw the colour drain from his face in a split second and his lips were left agape. He lifted his head and his eyes burned with a fiery blaze as he glared at me.
"You!" He sneered with a disdainful scorn as anger pulsed through every single vein inside of his body and his fists were clenched tightly beside him. The next thing I knew, he was marching towards me, pushing past everyone who was standing in his way, closing the distance between us in a few large strides. "You did this?!" He hissed, as his deep voice shook with rage that was quickly spreading inside of him like a wildfire.
Before he could even reach me, Xavier stepped in and grabbed him by his arm, twisting it behind his back and pushed him against the wall in one swift motion.
"Not so fast," he mocked with a slight grin that stretched across his face.
Aaron let out a yelp as he grimaced in pain, probably still recovering from his previous injuries.
"What do you think you are doing?!" He spat the words out like they were poison in his mouth. "Let go of me!" He demanded through gritted teeth as he shoved against Xavier’s tight hold but to no avail.
It was at this moment when their boss came walking out from her office with a frown on her face, her eyes swept across the place. "What is going on here?" She questioned as she folded her arms over her chest.
A soft chuckle emerged from my throat as I glanced over to see the angry yet helpless look that was plastered across his face, my lips curved upwards into a satisfied smile as I locked eyes with Xavier. I turned back around to face the crowd that had already gathered around us, watching on with anticipation hanging on their faces, eager to find out what the whole commotion was all about.
Atlas, my eyes landed on the boss standing not too far away from me. "You might want to hear what your employee has been up to," I commented as a smirk tugged at the corners of my lips. "I don’t know how many of you may know, but..." I drawled, savouring every syllable like a delicacy as my eyes glistened with a knowing look and I locked eyes with Aaron.
