CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

DIANA

"You should wear that, since it's a banquet, you should look your best, especially since you will be representing me"

As soon as I stepped into the hotel suite, Chris handed me a bag of clothes and jewelleries, with a cold look on BJ's face.

I looked at the things in shock, as I tried to make sense of what this person was trying to do. What was the meaning of giving me this?

Especially since I had walked out on him like that? We were really going to put all of that behind us and just act like nothing had happened?

"Sir....about earlier...."

"Also, I know that you're familiar with this place, but I would appreciate a heads-up next time you are going to throw a tantrum and disappear. If anything happens to you, I'll be held responsible, since I came on a business trip with you,"he continued to say.

I took a deep breath, Chris obviously did not want to talk about what happened earlier , but I had no intentions of just letting it go like that.

We had to talk about things and make it clear between us.

"About what happened earlier....as you can already tell I am sure,, Dylan and I have a bit of history in the past. He and I....well, I guess you can say that we don't get along at all. As for the things you said, none of those are true, and I hope that you won't repeat that I cheated on my husband or..."

"You really want to defend his reputation, even when he's already dead. You really don't want people to think that he was cheated on by his wife, right?" Chris sneered at me.

I blinked my eyes in shock, "what? "

What the heck was he going on about? I was just trying to stop him from insulting me the way he had done earlier, how did it become about James out of nowhere?

"I just...." I tried to explain myself but Chris did not give me any chance to do that .

"I definitely do not care about whatever relationship you have with your dad's husband's family. It's none of my business, I just hope that while we are here, it definitely won't affect what I am here for," Chris warned me coldly.

My expression hardened when he said this. Of course, he wouldn't care about any of the things I had been through.

Chris was convinced that I was the bad person and nothing was going to change his mind.

"Of course, I don't think Dylan cares about me all that much so as long as your proposal and price is good enough, you should be getting the land," I said coldly.

Chris glared at me, "are you saying it's not good enough?"

Shrugging, I walked past him and stepped into the bathroom to change.

"I didn't say any of that," I called from inside and shut the door in his face.

That damn Chris! I couldn't believe that I was foolishly thinking about telling him of the child I lost!

He didn't deserve to know, he didn't deserve to know anything. He should just live the rest of his life in the dark like that, damn it.

......

I sat beside Chris in the large couch, and I felt so damn uncomfortable.

This was supposed to be a banquet, but instead, it was a gathering between delinquents like Dylan who just wanted to drink and have fun.

There was no damn banquet, in fact, we were at a bar and each man had a woman by his side!

Dylan in particular, had two girls by his side that he kept touching.

The only people who didn't have any women with them were Chris and Diego.

They both looked upset, but Dylan didn't care. He was drilling and having fun, just like he had always done.

I sneered in my head, even though he took over the company after James death, Dylan was still the same idiot that he was in the past.

He wasted his entire life having fun with his equally useless friends and a bunch of sketchy women.

In fact, I was sure that the only person who had a job here was Dylan.

All of the other men were the sons of rich men who did nothing but squander their parents money all day.

"Dylan, what is the meaning of this?" Diego was the first person to speak up, with a cold look on his face.

Diego wasn't someone who showed his emotions regularly, and when he did, it was obvious that he had been pushed too far.

Dylan waved his hand and he laughed, he didn't seem to care about the men who wanted to talk to him about the land he wanted to sell.

"Come on guys, I invited both of you because I wanted you to have fun. There are a lot of beautiful women here you know. Chris, although Diana is beautiful, I am sure that you are going to have a lot of fun with the other girls here. Why don't you give them a try?" Dylan laughed as he said this.

Everything that came out of his mouth was lewd, and if it wasn't for the fact that they were both abusers, I would have found it hard to believe that Dylan was James younger brother.

At least, James was someone who cared about his reputation a lot .

He would never make a fool of himself in front of a bunch of people like this.

Chris didn't reply to Dylan's words, but I could see that his fists were clenched tightly behind his side.

Suddenly, I felt someone grip my arm. I looked up to see that it was one of Dylan's useless friends.

I quickly pulled my hand away from his grip. "What do you want?" I snapped at him.

He laughed out loud, as his eyes darted all over the place. It was obvious that the bastard was drunk!
