Might not be true?
Evelyn had heard it clearly.
Brian had forced a kiss on Ariana, and the Lodge residence was being revamped for her.
Thinking of this, Evelyn headed straight to Brian's office.
When she reached the door, Emily stepped forward to stop her. “Ms. Granger, Mr. Lodge is in a meeting. He can’t
see anyone right...”
Before Emily could finish, Evelyn pushed the door open.
Inside, Brian was wearing a headset and speaking to an international firm via video call. He shot Evelyn a frown
for barging in.
He swiftly ended the call with a few short words.
“Eve, I'm working.
Evelyn would never have been this impulsive before.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBrian put down his headset and looked at her.
Evelyn lowered her head and said, “L... | didn’t mean to interrupt you,
“What's the matter?” Brian asked.
“I cto pick you up from work,” Evelyn replied, forcing a smile that looked incredibly s
stiff.
Brian didn’t seem to notice anything unusual about Evelyn's mood. “I've got something going on tonight | can’t
have dinner with you. I'll have my driver take you home. It's late, and it’s not safe for you to go back alone.

He was as considerate as ever, but Evelyn still felt like he was distancing himself. She hesitated, then asked
nervously, “Brian... Is Ms. Torrey living with you now?”
His eyes suddenly turned cold. “Who told you that?”
Evelyn tried to figure out what to say, but Brian suddenly asked, “Was it Ariana who told you?”
“No... No.”
The more Evelyn denied it, the more certain Brian becthat Ariana was the one who had told her. Strangely,
if this had happened before, he would have suspected Ariana of causing trouble and gotten annoyed with her.
But this time, he felt oddly pleased.
Ariana claimed she had no feelings for him anymore, yet she was still trying to get his attention.
Brian said, “I asked her to move in. She’s my fiancée. The Torrey family had that disgraceful scandal last night,
so she needs to keep sdistance from them for a while. Otherwise, people will just ridicule the Lodge family.”
“That's all?”
Evelyn looked at him cautiously. She had never been so timid around him before. She felt as if Ariana was taking
over a space in his heart.

“That's all.”
Brian shut his laptop, clearly not wanting to say more.
Emily chose that moment to step in. “Ms. Granger, Mr. Lodge is busy. Please cwith me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe escorted Evelyn out.
Evelyn noticed the way the other assistants were staring. This was the quickest she had ever left his office.
She tightened her fists in silent frustration.
From Ariana’s promise to make peace to her move into the Lodge residence, it was all just lies.
Ariana kept claiming she didn’t like Brian or want to be his wife. What a joke! She was clearly just playing her for
fool.
She thought Victor wanted to do business with her, but instead, she ended up being humiliated in front of both
Victor and Ariana. Victor had humiliated her as well.
