Chapter 86: Bad Boy
"Aiden..." Matteo immediately said warningly but was stopped when Charles held up a hand.
"Your brother isn’t going to do anything to her, Matteo. Besides, we should take these private matters somewhere more―" Charles’s eyes scanned the office, and immediately, a few employees ducked under, pretending to be earnestly working, "―private, don’t you think?"
An unspoken conversation passed purely through their gazes, and eventually, Matteo gritted his teeth and held a hand out in the direction of his office.
"After you, then," he said.
Before he followed his father into the office, he turned back and glanced at Amelia one last time. Amelia offered him a smile, which he quickly returned, but it was wiped off his face when Aiden enthusiastically waved at him.
"Don’t worry about Amelia," Aiden said.
Then, as if they had been friends for all their lives, he placed an arm around Amelia’s shoulder, pulling her close to his body. Amelia hadn’t seen it coming, and due to the initial distance between them, she stumbled a little into his embrace, to which Aiden caught her with ease.
"I will take very good care of her," Aiden promised.
Matteo’s eyes twitched in irritation, but before he could say anything, Charles shot them both a glare. Only then did Aiden’s hand slip off Amelia’s shoulder. Seeing that, Matteo shot daggers at Aiden one last time before slamming the door shut. If looks could kill, Aiden would’ve already been six feet under.
