Chapter 93: Exasperated
Ewan sighed tiredly when he saw Aiden’s message flash across his phone.
His mind began connecting the dots like a troubled artist trying to create a coherent picture. It dawned on him that the driver-cum-security guard must have discovered what had transpired on the night he had taken Athena to dinner some days ago.
It made him wonder: was there anything at all that Athena kept hidden from the male?
Dropping his phone onto the table with a frustrated thud, he clasped his hands together, deep in thought.
Aiden seemed to know everything there was to know about Athena, which made him suspicious about the history they shared. What could that be?
Just like Athena, Aiden’s profile had turned up blank on the internet at first, as if the man simply never existed.
His curiosity piqued, Ewan had done some digging and learned that this enigmatic figure had been a four-star general at one time.
It was still hard for Ewan to believe; the man looked way too young for such a prestigious title!
Yet he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of respect mixed with irritation. Here was a man who was essentially cutting him off for abandoning Athena at a restaurant to fend for herself—and worse, for not checking in on her since then.
Like a subpar soap opera, Ewan found himself questioning if Aiden really knew just how scheming Athena could be. He flicked his gaze back to the phone, thinking about the picture Fiona had shown him.
Surely, a four-star general should know better than to get involved in a convoluted mess like this.
