CHAPTER 16: ANNOYING IAN
Winter’s POV
“Cut!” the director shouted as soon as we were done shooting the first part.
I immediately moved away from Ian and asked Olivia for alcohol to wipe myself since I just touched the devil.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Are you that allergic to me?” Ian asked me sarcastically upon seeing me wiping the hands that he just touched.
“Uh-huh.”
He laughed. “I should be the one wiping my hands from touching you. We both know who has the dirtiest hands here.”
I almost slapped him from saying that, but I held myself back. I just widened my eyes at him and glanced around to see if somebody actually heard him say that. Good thing Olivia was the only one standing beside me.
“Shut the fuck up.” I whispered to Ian, who just smirked at me.
He really keeps on bringing that up whenever I annoy him. If only I could do something for him to stop bringing that up. Why do I even have to meet him again?
“Miss Winter, do you want to have some water?” Olivia suddenly asked me.
“No, thanks.”
After a few minutes, we began filming again until it was already night. I went home and as soon as I stepped inside the mansion, my phone started ringing. It was an unknown number, but I still answered it.
“Who are you?” I asked.
“Miss Winter, I am the private investigator that your grandpa hired to watch over your husband.”
I glanced around to check if Matthew was already home, then I went upstairs straight to my room before answering him again. “What did you find out? Did he go somewhere I don’t know? Have you seen his secret family and his secret wife?”
It’s been a week now since grandpa and I decided to hire a private investigator to watch over Matthew. I didn’t actually expect him to have doubts about Matthew, since he obviously likes that asshole so much. But then I found out that he doubted him, too.
“He didn’t go to any suspicious places like bars or other private property, Miss Winter. But every day, he goes to this coffee shop to have some coffee. Also, he enjoys going to bookstores.”
I rolled my eyes. “I didn’t hire you to find out about his hobbies, okay? I want you to know the strange places he goes to and the strangest things that he does.”
“Y-Yes, Miss Winter. But there is actually a place he usually goes to.”
“Where?”
“It’s at the abandoned house near your mansion. He always goes there before and after he goes to work. Also, find out about Matthew’s family background and report it to me.”
I sat down on my bed, and I pressed the phone to my other ear. “And what does he do there? Is there a person he’s meeting with?”
“There is, ma’am. It was a young lady and they seem to be so close to each other.”
“And what’s the lady’s name?”
“I haven’t figured that out yet, Miss Winter.”
“Make sure you’ll get her name and the things that they are doing together next time.
“Yes, Miss Winter.”
After that, I already hang up the phone and decided to take a bath.
There is a young lady she always hangs out with, huh? So, he must be a pedophile. I knew it. That asshole is hiding something from us. He’s acting to be an angel in front of us, when the truth is, he’s a devil.
“Oh, you arrived earlier than me now.”
Speaking of the devil, he was the one I saw as I went to the dining room.
“And who told you can eat here?” I asked him with a raised eyebrow.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I almost forgot about that. I’ll just bring my dinner upstairs.”
“You should. I don’t want to have my dinner while seeing your annoying face.” I said, then I stood up and was about to go to the sink to wash my hands when all of a sudden, I stepped on something and almost slipped.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Matthew’s face. He was looking straight into my eyes as if looking through my soul. And for a second, I saw a familiar face.
“Are you alright, Winter?” he asked while looking at me worriedly.
That was when I finally came back to my senses. I quickly pushed him away and stood up again.
“Stay away from me. I-I’m just alright.”
“I apologize. I just didn’t want you to fall.”
I rolled my eyes. “Shut up. For sure you’re the one behind it! You did that on purpose, didn’t you?! You did that because you wanted me to fall to the ground!”
“Huh? No, I didn’t do that on purpose, Winter. I swear.”
“Don’t you ever dare go near me again or you’re dead. I will find out about your real identity one day, so if I were you, I would be extra careful.” I threatened him.
He looked so confused. “H-Huh?”
“Just get the hell out of here already!”
“A-Alright.”
Stupid.
That man is really annoying. He never fails to annoy me every single time. I’m sure he was also the one who spilled some water for me to slip. He’s probably planning something bad for our family. I will find out about that. I won’t let him succeed whatever his plan is. I hate him so much.
