Chapter 14 You’re Messing With Me

Yuna was shocked when she heard his name, but she couldn't help but raise her guard when she heard him address her using her fake name.

Ashton smiled slightly. "Ms. Surra, you don’t have to worry. I didn't mean to investigate you, but I coincidentally saw you and workers from the West Drew Institute meet up with Yvan, so I connected the dots myself."

She thought of the events from her day.

He reached out a hand. "I know that you haven’t officially partnered with TN Group yet. So, I’m guessing I still have a fair chance of working with you."

Ashton had just saved her from a potentially dangerous situation, so she reached out her hand to shake his and said, "Mr. Yale, thank you for your help just now."

"You’re welcome. I would’ve done the same for any person in that situation." Ashton retracted his hand. "The patrons of this establishment are a mixed bag, so it isn’t safe here. Let me escort you out."

"Thank you."

The duo had just stepped into an elevator when another person, who had rushed over and witnessed the scene, gave Yvan a call. "Yvan, you’ve got competition."

Yuna did not get into Ashton’s car. After they had exit Twilight, they made plans to meet up and talk another day, and she took a taxi home.

She returned to her apartment to take a shower and planned to have a video call with her children. After all, it was already daytime where the children were.

However, her doorbell rang before she could make the call.

She opened the door, thinking that it was the food delivery man, but instead, a shadowy figure forced its way into the house and locked the door.

Yuna was just about to attack the shadowy figure, but her hands had been restrained above her head.

"Yvan?" Yuna was in disbelief; he should've been with Daisy. She angrily struggled against him. "Breaking into a woman’s house in the middle of the night! Will you be able to endure the newspaper headlines if I call the police?"

"Sure, then I will tell everyone that Yuna is Surra. I wonder how your father would react to that."

Yvan’s bottomless gaze was trained on her face, and he asked her coldly, "You’re keeping me in limbo on one side but meeting with Ashton on another side. Yuna, are you fucking with me?"

Yuna laughed. "Yvan, you’re the one fucking with me. Weren’t you the one who left without saying anything the minute you got a call? What? Did you think you could easily make a deal with me because we know each other? Besides, you haven’t even fulfilled your side of the bargain, so why should I consider working with you? Let go of me!"

Yvan was frustrated. "Do you think this is funny?"

Yuna huffed, "Yvan, please make it clear what our relationship is. Breaking into another person’s house in the middle of the night, acting like a man who has just been cheated on, don't you think it’s immature? Besides, we don’t have any official relationship now, so I have the right to choose who I work with, and you don’t have the right to question me like this."

"You really think I don't have the balls to do anything to you?" The veins on his forehead were pulsing, and he could break Yuna’s wrist in his grip at any second out of anger.

"What can you do to me?" Yuna wasn’t afraid; in fact, she found it hilarious. "I wonder how Daisy would feel once she realizes that her man, who was supposed to be sleeping next to her, is out in the middle of the night at another woman’s house. Oh, I feel bad for her just thinking about it."
