Presiden's wild wife

Chapter 48 An eye for an eye

On Monday, Aria was dressed elaborately for working. But she could never expect that she was captured by two unknown men on her road to the company.

Following that, it was several kicks on her belly, which caused great pain and nearly made her lose consciousness. She screamed, “Who are you!”

But the answer was silence. What was worse, cold water was thrown on her all over. She and her expensive handbag were all wet.

“No! Who the fuck are you! I’m calling the police. You all will suffer!”

However, no one cared about what she said. She was dragged into the washroom and her phone was taken away.

When Elena arrived at the company, she asked Charlie not to get the video first. Sophia spent the whole morning waiting for Aria; however, Aria didn’t appear, and her two assistants didn’t, either.

Charlie then made an announcement that their semi-annual bonus would be deducted for absence from work without reason.

Sophia was happy to hear that and gave him an admirable expression in her eyes. Charlie was so proud and accepted it.

While Coral was surprised about Aria’s absence. “I know she is a difficult person, but I never see her be that late for work. What happened to her?”

“I bet nothing! If it does, she deserves this and must hide herself for guilty deed!”

“Do you know anything? Just tell me!” Coral said.

“I…I know nothing!” Sophia refused to talk more about it, and tried to change the topic, “I just thought that she might offend others with her bad manners.”

Coral agreed and patted Sophia’s head slightly, “Stop talking nonsense and focus on your work.”

Sophia replied in languid tone, “OK...”

Sophia couldn’t wait to ask Elena after seeing Coral leaving the room, “Hey, Elena, did you make them absent from work today?”

“No.” Elena answered seriously.

“Then it might be him? Logan?”

“Coral’s right. Stop talking nonsense and focus on your work.” Elena said.

“So, am I right?” Sophia continued.

“I don’t know.” Elena nodded her head and answered again.

Though Logan promised to let herself handle this, he might also do something while getting the photos, for example, revenge?

Later in the afternoon, the two assistants asked for a sick leave because of getting a bad cold and staying in the hospital. But Aria arrived at the company despite headache. The first thing after returning to the company was to find Elena. She questioned one of her colleagues in a terrible tone.

The poor colleague was too scared to finish her sentence, “She…she might be at the pantry.”

Aria rushed into the pantry, seeing Elena was pouring water into her glass. She cursed at Elena and yelled, “Elena, you fucking slut!” Aria didn’t look well right now. Her face was as pale as a ghost. And she got a running nose.

Elena stopped pressing the button for warm water, and quietly turned to the one for hot water.

The yelling of Aria caught other colleagues’ attention. Elena gave her a glance and said, “What’s the matter, Aria? What happened to you? You don’t look good.”

“You slut! That’s because of you!” Aria wanted to slap her face and raised her hand without hesitation. However, Elena was taller than her and easily stopped her by grabbing her hand. Elena watched Aria’s ugly face at ease.

“Why are you so angry, Aria? You even want to slap me. Did I do anything wrong?” She said and looked at her with innocence.

Most of colleagues didn’t know what happened and stood here, watching and whispering.

Aria gnashed her teeth with anger and said, “Don’t play innocent! It’s you, right?! It’s you who asked them to block me on my way to work, right! You are a bitch!”

All of a sudden, everyone turned to Elena.

But Elena didn’t panic, and asked calmly,” What’s the matter with you, Aria? You seemed to be sick. It must be the high fever. Why did I ask someone to block you? Did you lose your mind?”

“Don’t you ever deny it! You did the same thing on me! You did it for revenge! You such a bitch! How dare you!”

“I did the same thing on you? What do you mean? What did you do to me?”

“You...” Aria was about to tell what happened but soon realized she nearly told all the people what she did on Elena!

So, she stopped it.

Elena smiled and said, “You see, you can’t even tell a word. Are you sick? I think you’d better see a doctor. Good health is more important than your job.”

Elena didn’t want to argue with her and was leaving.

But Aria was so irritated right now. She wouldn’t let go of Elena, so she grasped her hand to stopped her. The next moment, however, the hot water was ‘accidentally’ thrown on her chest.

“What the fuck, you bitch! You want to kill me?” Aria shouted so loudly that her voice nearly broke the windows in the office.

“Oh, I am terribly sorry, Aria. But you grasped my hand so tightly and I...I didn’t mean it.” Elena took some tissues and wiped Aria’s chest.

The skin of her chest was burning in pain and Elena’s wipe was so rude, so Aria refused her “help” and pushed her away.

Elena took advantage of her push and fell on the ground on purpose. “Aria, you’ve gone too far!”

“What!” Aria stared at her.

“You came to me and wanted to slap me for no reason. I know you are my superior, so I have to endure it. I was going to leave but you stopped me. That’s why I accidentally threw the water on you. I tried to make up and helped you clean it. But you even pushed me!”

“Right, Aria has gone too far! She was absent this morning and came back to make trouble first!” one colleague said.

“Yes. I saw that Aria pulled Elena’s hand and Elena threw the water accidentally. It wasn’t Elena’s fault.”

“The water can’t be that hot, right? Since it’s getting warmer, who will drink hot water? Look at her, acting as being burnt.”

“She is such a Drama queen!”

Aria was so angry. It was hot water! Why did they think she was playing? Nonsense!

Elena asked Aria in a soft tone on purpose, “Aria, are you OK?” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Of course not! You deliberately took the hot water!” Aria stomped her foot.

“No, I didn’t! How can you say that!” Elena said as if she was hurt. She stared at the wet stain on Aria’s chest and said, “Let me see! If your chest really got hurt because of hot water, I will find you the scald ointment.”

Let her see?

How? It was her chest! How could she take off her shirt and let her see her chest in public?!

Thinking about that, she suddenly recalled something, and turned to look at Elena in disbelief.

Elena gave her a sly grin and whispered in her ear, “Aria, don’t you remember? I learn this trick from you. I did throw hot water on you. So what? How can you prove it? Taking off your shirt and letting everybody see the scald?”

After whispering, she showed care and said sympathetically, “Oh, Aria, your face is too pale. You should go to see a doctor, or the fever will damage your brain.”
