Ida gave him a look, then peeked into the suite, asking, âWhat are you up to?â
Chase shrugged his shoulders, grinning, âJust took a bath, canât you tell?â
Ida brushed past him and strode straight into the suite. She was expecting some kind of scandalous scene but found the bed spotless with no sign of a woman whatsoever.
Whereâs your girlfriend?â Ida turned to ask him.
Chase closed the suite door, toweling off his hair, âTell me about it! She came to the hotel with me but wouldnât let me touch her. What a bore. So I had her sent home.â
Ida adjusted her goldârimmed glasses, pulled up a chair, and sat down, âIf you want Belinda, Mr.
Blanchetâs niece, to get over you, you donât have to humiliate her like this. You know sheâs into you, and you still asked her to deliver contraceptives for you and another woman. Are you even human? The boss is pissed knowing you did this.â
Having dried his hair, Chase tossed the towel aside and flopped onto the bed, âIda, arenât you and the boss being a bit too tough on me? Does she look like sheâs over me at all? To make a woman get over me, I need to make her despise me first, right?â
Ida took out her phone and nodded at him, âGet up and put on your clothes!â
Chase actually got up. While getting dressed, he asked, âWhatâs up? Do we have somewhere to be?â
âGet dressed first.â Ida didnât fuss as she propped her phone on the table.
Chase didnât ask any further. He went to the bathroom, got dressed, and then came out, âLetâs go.
Where areâ¦
Before he could finish, Ida punched him in the face.
Ouch!â
Chase, who always cared for his handsome face, was immediately enraged, âAh! Whyâd you hit me in the face?â
Ida didnât care. She swung another punch at his other cheek, making him howl. Then she threw him over her shoulder and onto the floor. Chase, fresh from the shower, was now all dirty again. He scowled at Ida, âIda, you hit me again! Iâm gonna tell the boss that youâre bullying me!â Ida stepped on him, not letting him up while looking down at him, âThe boss sent me to beat you up! How old are you now? Canât you give the boss a break? The boss is already upset from the pregnancy, and now she has to get mad over your crap?â
Since he was not able to get up, Chase just laid comfortably on the floor, âHuh? Is it really me causing the boss stress, or is it Theo? Who do you think caused the boss to be upset by the pregnancy? Who do you think is causing her bad mood?â
Ida looked down at him, âThatâs between the boss and Theo. We shouldnât meddle in the bossâs personal affairs.â
Chase snorted, âShouldnât meddle? If we donât, the boss is going to get played by Theo! Let me tell you something, Ida. Women donât know how to judge men, and once you guys are in love, youâre all in. No exceptions!â
Hearing the hidden message in Chaseâs words, Ida lifted her foot, stopped the recording on her phone, then turned back to ask, âWhat have you discovered? Spit it out!â
Chase got up and dusted himself off. Luckily, he was not bothered by the beating and scolding he had just received. He said seriously, âIâve had a bad feeling about this for a while. Theo seems to care a lot about the boss, but he never got a marriage certificate with her. The boss doesnât say it, but I think that really bothers her!
Today, when I heard that Theo left the boss to go on a business trip, I had someone track his flight and had someone at M State airport to see if he really was on a business trip.
Guess what? I was right! That rat Theo went to M State to see another woman!â
After hearing this, Ida frowned, âWho?â
