“How did I end up having an encounter with a renowned CEO? What were the chances of something like this happening?
The unexpected encounter left Gemma feeling both surprised and intrigued.
Despite her initial confusion, she couldn't help but feel excited by the possibility of what this encounter might lead to.
As she tried to process the events of the day, Gemma couldn't shake the feeling that something significant had just happened.
"I am eagerly looking forward to sharing this news with the girls," Gemma said with great anticipation.
Amaya walked past Gemma with a confident and graceful stride, making sure to maintain eye contact with her.
With a mischievous glint in her eye, she stuck out her foot, causing Gemma to stumble and spill her drink all over herself.
Oops, my mistake," Amaya said in a stern voice.
"I've already told you countless times that you're not supposed to be here.
This place is not for you and you don't belong here," Amaya said in a firm tone.
Gemma found herself unable to restrain her tears, which gracefully streamed down her cheeks, lending her an air of profound wretchedness.
“Why are you doing this to me… “ Gemma’s voice breaking.
You don't belong here Gemma, I don't know why I have to remind you. “ Amaya Said in a cold tone.
As she scanned her surroundings to see if her dad was close by, Gemma tried wiping her tears off only to see a Young man amidst a mockery of faces looking at her remorsefully.
She wondered why he was looking at her so pitifully.
“Why can't I see the sight of my mom or dad? I can't believe they'd leave me to face this Shame alone. “Gemma said With a brittle voice.
“I wish someone could just take me away from this place. “Gemma let out a huge sigh.
I can't believe Amaya had to embarrass me here of all places “Gemma Said murmuring.
As she raised her face to the crowd she saw the young man walking towards her direction.
Why is he walking towards me? “She said to herself.
Immediately Aiden reached out to her hands. Looking straight into her gaze
The only thing he could see was a pain in her gaze. Who did this to you?
Are you ok? What happened to you? “Aiden asked in a flat tone.
Of course, she doesn't know how to handle a wine glass, she made a mess out of herself. “ Amaya said, grating.
Can't you see she caused a lot of scenes, she doesn't belong here, she’s not in our league.
I see no reason why you would treat her so nicely and respectfully. “Amaya's voice is shrill.
Immediately gazes were all over Gemma. Even when Gemma's head faces down, she feels everyone's eyes on eye, the murmuring from the crowd makes her feel uncomfortable.
“You don't have to make a scene also,” Gemma tried to shrug her hands off his hand while looking at Amaya.
Am I causing a scene? “Aiden asked In a sharp tone.
This is what a scene looks like, immediately he pulls his suit.
What are you doing? “Gemma asked, whispering.
“Shhh… I'm trying to cause a greater scene.
He immediately uses his suit To cover her gracefully And walks her out gently.
As they stepped out of the event, they were bombarded by flashes from the cameras of reporters and journalists waiting outside.
He raised his hands trying to shield her face from the barrage of questions thrown at her…
“Mr. Aiden!”
“Who's this lady next to you?”
“Is she the new in-law of CAM’s group?”
“How did you guys meet?”
“Is she your mistress?”
“How do you feel having an affair with a billionaire?”
The questions were endless, and Gemma stopped breathing at some point, she knew she was doomed.
“I can't say anything now, " Aiden paused as he looked at Gemma With a smirky smile, "But she's someone so special To me.
Gemma felt overwhelmed by the statement Aiden made.
As they tried to make their way through the crowd, covering their faces from the cameras.
Suddenly a sleek black sports car pulled up beside them. The door opened, and a man in a suit leaned out.
“Get in quickly, the man said in a firm yet gentle tone.
Gemma looked up in surprise and asked, “ Who are you? “ Gemma thought.
