Chapter 357 Buy A House

'Aron has been taking over the company. It is obvious that Fiona came back to take the company away

from him, ' Joanna thought with a frown.

Aron brought Colin to the company without a word. After introducing him to the board members, he left

Colin alone and went straight to his office.

Colin got acquainted with the female employees, who scrambled to butter him up after knowing who he

was. Soon, he started to flirt with them, making Aron displeased with his frivolous behavior. He thought

Colin would leave in a couple of days once he got bored.

Meanwhile, Autumn had just arrived at the company. The moment she sat on her chair in her office,

Isla came in and asked, "Do you have some time now? I have something to tell you."

"Please sit down, " Autumn replied.

"What is it?"

What happened?" she asked Isla who took a seat opposite her.

"Is there anything wrong with the activity for Giant Promise Company?" Autumn asked in a concerned

tone, thinking that Isla came to talk about work.

Isla gave her a serious look. "I didn't come here for work, " she replied.

"Autumn, do you remember Roger?" she asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Yeah. I do, " Autumn scowled.

"What's up?" she asked, not knowing why Isla would mention Roger.

"Why are you mentioning him suddenly?" she continued.

"I saw him at your birthday party yesterday, " Isla replied with a confused look.

She didn't understand why Roger would go there.

"I met him too, " Autumn said.

"He came and talked to me. But I don't know what he wants, " Autumn went on.

'Why does he keep harassing me?' she wondered, finding Roger rather irksome.

Isla hesitated for a few moments before finally answering.

"I think I know why."

Isla came to see Autumn for this. Although she couldn't tell exactly what were Roger's intentions, she

had found some clues.

"What is it?"

Autumn asked, looking at Isla in confusion.

"I saw him with Rachel, " Isla replied.

Autumn finally understood why Roger kept pestering her. 'I think it was Rachel's instruction.

But why would she do this?' she was lost in thought.

"I think they're lovers, "

Isla concluded as she stared at Autumn.

"What are you thinking about?"Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

She asked Autumn who was frowning absentmindedly.

"Nothing, " Autumn replied as she shook her head. "Thank you for telling me this."

After finding out about his relationship with Rachel, Autumn decided to keep an eye on Roger.

'Whatever game Rachel is playing, I won't let her get what she wants, ' she told herself.

"I don't know what Rachel is thinking. She's already married with Edward. Why is she so hell bent on

destroying your relationship with Charles?" Isla complained.

'Rachel can date any rich and excellent young man she wants. Why would she choose Edward?' Isla

thought.

Autumn sneered, "Who knows? Maybe she's doing everything to break me and Charles apart because

she hates to lose."

"Anyway, keep an eye on Roger. We don't know Rachel's up to, " Isla reminded her. "I'm going back to

work, then."

Aron was waiting in his car outside the Cloud Advertising Company by the time Isla got off from work.

She went straight to Aron's car, not noticing that they were being followed.

"What do you want to eat?"

Aron asked Isla with a bright smile.

Despite being in a bad mood, he chose not to show it to her.

"How about we try the new restaurant along Quanfu Road?" Isla suggested after a long pause.

"Sure, " Aron agreed.

Aron parked his car before entering the western restaurant with Isla. Meanwhile, a man got out of the

taxi behind them, following them inside the restaurant.

Isla started giving their orders. "I'd like a filet mignon, medium-well with white pepper sauce. Aron, what

about you?" she asked, turning to him.

"I'll have the same, " he told her without looking at the menu.

"Well, two filet mignons and, " Isla paused to search the menu for some snacks.

Someone went behind her and said, "Make that three filet mignons, fruit salad, and pasta. Thank you!"

Isla lifted her head to look at the man standing before her in confusion. But before she could open her

mouth, Aron was already on his feet. "What are you doing here?" he asked the man.

"Is she your girlfriend?" Colin asked.

Fiona asked him to stay close to Aron. He assumed that Aron was going to pick up his girlfriend as he

watched Aron leave the company without calling him. He was curious about the woman Aron was

dating, so Colin followed him behind privately.

"How did you know that I am here?" Aron asked coldly, ignoring Colin's question.

Colin turned to introduce himself to Isla, "Hello, I'm Colin. Aron's cousin."

"Hi, "

Isla nodded to him as she rose to stand.

Aron talked about his cousin occasionally, so she was a little familiar with him. She knew Colin was the

son of Aron's uncle, with whom he had a bad relationship.

"I finally know why Aron didn't come home. He's hanging out with his girlfriend instead, who turns out to

be such a sweet girl, " Colin praised.

"Don't just stand there. Sit down, " he urged Aron.

"Colin, if you don't get out of my sight at this moment, I will kick you out of my house today, " Aron

threatened, glaring at Colin with displeasure.

"Don't bother. I will move out even if you don't kick me off, " Colin sniffed.

"Didn't you know? My mother just told me that she bought that house. She said it would be mine once I

sign the contract tomorrow.

Our grandparents paid for the rest of the down payment you made for me. My mother wanted us to

check into a hotel instead of making you uncomfortable."

Having guessed that his grandparents would pay for that house, Aron was just a little surprised upon

hearing Colin's words.
