Chapter 284: Hide And Seek
Chapter 284: Hide And Seek
“Mommy, who is that girl?” Inside the elevator, Ivan could not get over the image of his uncle Eric and
the woman he was holding because aside from his grandmother, Rosy, and his mom, Arabella, Ivan
had never seen his uncle Eric with another woman.
As of the moment, his genius brain didn’t give him an accurate answer base on his analysis.
“I… I don’t know dear. I think she’s one of your uncle’s friends.” Arabella answered pacifying his
curiosity.
She didn’t know what to say as she was also in a maze.
Eric didn’t say anything about this girl.
From the way he gripped her waist, Arabella could find it intimate knowing Eric who’s not a playboy and
was a serious gentlemanly person.
The only thing that bothered her was Rosy.
Is it because of her closeness to Rosy that Eric hid the girl from her?
For now, that’s the only reason she could think of.
For her, whatever Eric’s decision, she would respect it.
If he is really in love with the girl, she would be happy with his brother, Eric.
“A friend?” Bill's voice snapped her back to her senses.
Arabella looked at him with killer eyes.
How could this man be so inconsiderate with a child?
Bill looked at her smirking handsomely.
“Yeah… I think that too.” Bill added after seeing Arabella’s threatening expression. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Then he leaned his back on the wall and folded his two arms in front.
With his silence, Arabella was pacified.
In the basement, Ivan’s driver was waiting for them.
Bill led Ivan to his car and Arabella followed but Bill was quick to block his body at the entrance of the
car before Arabella could enter.
“Mommy, aren’t you not going with me? Let’s play in the pool, mommy.” Ivan said excitingly.
“Some other time Ivan. Mommy and I have some important matter to deal with.” Bill answered for her
while he was gripping Arabella’s wrist.
“What are we going to talk about?” Arabella whispered with full of annoyance in her tone. “Let me go. I
want to go with Ivan. Eric was not there for him.” She added trying to get rid of her wrist from his hand.
“What are you going to talk about then?” Ivan was still in his full curiosity while sneaking his head out
from a rolled-down glass window.
“About your brother Adam,” Bill answered winking at Ivan along with his release of Arabella.
After hearing Bill, Arabella froze on her spot even him not holding her anymore.
Who would want to go away hearing the name of her son from this man?
Wherever he would go she would definitely follow just to see Adam again.
Just to see her loving son again.
“Oh! That’s great then. So, mommy really needs to stay with you. I hope I can see brother Adam
again.” Ivan answered excitedly. “But can you promise me one thing?” Ivan added seriously.
“Hmmm… go on,” Bill answered lazily.
“Do not bully my mom and brother Adam. Okay?” Ivan with a cute little voice said bravely.
Bill smiled at the little boy’s expression.
“Okay. I promise.” Bill lifted his hand to swear.
‘What can a little boy do to him?’ In the back of his mind, he was thinking.
‘I will hack your company system together with my brother Adam and the genius club if you hurt our
mom.’ Ivan was thinking at the same time.
“Good! Bye, mom, I will visit you again.” After a moment of consideration, Ivan waved his hand.
“I promise I will visit you too and spend the night with you. I love you too.” Arabella strode and kiss
Ivan’s head on the window of the car.
Then Ivan rolled the glass upward and his driver drove away.
“What did you say?” Bill asked frowning after Ivan left.
“What? I don’t know what you are talking about.” Arabella answered with irritation. She could never
answer him with calm.
“You are going to spend a night in Eric’s house?” Bill didn’t let her slip just like that.
Arabella smirked. Now she knew what his problem is.
“What’s wrong with that, Mr. Sky? I’m Eric’s wife.” She said provokingly. “Married couple should be
staying together the whole night.” She added smiling with a tease. “Are you jealous, Mr. Sky?”
Bill looked at him.
His eyes were serious.
Then instead of replying, he grabbed her wrist again and then her waist.
“Where are we going?” Arabella was in a panic.
“Didn’t you say, you want me to f*ck you in the cinema with the crowd?” Bill muttered in the air coolly.
“Mr. Sky, that was just a joke.” She answered quickly. “Didn’t you say that we are going to talk about
Adam?” Arabella was struggling with him but Bill was unstoppable.
His grip was strong so, she had no choice but to follow his every step.
“It was just a joke too,” Bill answered her then he slammed her inside his car.
Arabella tried to open the car but she couldn’t.
Bill was quick to enter his sports car. Arabella stopped struggling.
This setup was not new to her.
Bill’s car had the most secured auto-lock system.
All commands were on his remote control.
“Bill, don’t make Adam a joke to me. I miss my son a lot. How is he? Who takes care of him? What is
he doing now? Dammit! I’m going crazy thinking of my son. Please let me see him. Please.”
Remembering her son, Arabella got a sudden outburst.
Bill didn’t reply.
He started the engine and drove away.
Meanwhile, in the fire exit, the girl wanted to run away crying but Eric was fast to catch her.
“I’m sorry but you can’t go.” Eric’s cheek turned crimson after she slapped him.
“Let me go, pervert!” She shouted angrily.
“I can’t. Look, what I did to you is awful and for that, I am very sorry.” Eric was already sobered seeing
her cry.
He was not the type of man that wanted to make women cry.
He hated those kinds.
“That woman there with the boy is my wife.” He started to explain with a controlled temper.
He had to be calm or he could not promise if he could still control himself after what she said in front of
Arabella and Ivan.
After hearing Eric, the girl had stopped struggling.
Her eyes were in deep shock.
She was guilty and her impression was regretting it.
“I’m sorry. I… I didn’t… I didn’t intend to ruin your marriage.” She stuttered explaining herself.
If he would have not known as a hooker, he would surely believe her because of her beautiful innocent
face.
“Then why did you say something so stupid?” He was really trying his best not to shout at her.
“Because I don’t want you to spread that I am your Uncle Byer’s woman.” She answered quickly with a
strong refusal on her face.
“Now, you remember my uncle, huh?” Eric’s grip on her wrist tightened.
Eric could feel her skin was so cold.
She was surely nervous.
“Look. If I have offended you. Can we settle it later? I really needed to pee.” She said squeezing her
thighs.
Eric looked at her seriously. In his analysis, she was saying the truth.
“Do not ever escape from me again.” He was holding her wrist and her hand again while they were
striding in the restroom’s direction.“If you want to get rid of me, you have to give me back my money.
Clear? I will be waiting for you outside. Make it fast or I will come to you after 5 minutes.”He announced
pushing her inside the bathroom. "Wait! Give me your cellphone." Eric quickly snatched her phone.
"You can get this after." Then he closed the door.
Eric was left standing outside in front of the door with her phone in his hand.
He tried to press the screen but it had a password.
Clever girl!
“Excuse me Mr. This is the ladies’ room.” Someone called his attention.
“Oh! Sorry.” He accepted politely and then went a bit far to give way to the ladies going inside the
ladies’ room.
Then he got his phone from his pocket and called his driver.
“How is it going? Is Ivan and Arabella with you?” Eric asked checking their status. He found himself
with the girl for too long.
He could not wait to dispose of her.
“Sir, Ivan is with me now. But Madame is with Bill Sky.” The driver reported.
Eric's grip on his phone tightened.
He didn’t like what he was hearing right now.
‘Why are they always together? Are they back with each other? No! Arabella would tell me everything.’
He couldn’t contain his thoughts.
He had to find out what was happening between the two.
He had to dispose of the girl now and find Arabella.
His time was already wasted.
So, Eric came back to the ladies’ room.
He had a problem with how he could check her without taking slaps from the ladies inside.
“Excuse me, may I seek a little help from you?” Eric stood handsomely.
This was the only thing he could use, for now, his charisma.
“Hi, there handsome. What can I do for you?” The woman quickly replied with giggles.
“Can you check this girl inside? And please tell her that I am not good at waiting.” He took his phone
and showed her a picture of the girl.
“Is she your girlfriend?” The woman’s expression was full of dismay.
“No! She’s…” Eric didn’t expect that this woman would also take so much of his time. “She is my maid.”
He answered directly.
“Oh! Poor thing! Okay, just wait there handsome, I will do the job for you.” The woman was backed to
her vigor after hearing Eric’s answer.
After the woman left, Eric heaved a deep sigh of relief.
He could see the woman was giggling in front of him.
'How could women nowadays be so daring?'
Eric shook his head to get rid of his thoughts.
“Mr. there’s no one in here.” The woman was back in just a quick second.
Eric startled.
“What???” He could not believe that the girl escaped again.
Once was okay but the second time, that couldn’t be!
Eric quickly went inside the ladies’ room and check all the cubicles.
It was all empty.
He couldn’t help but punch the wall.
“Mr. Handsome, don’t be angry because of a maid. If you badly need one, I can apply.” The woman
behind him sounded.
Eric smirked trying to calm himself down.
He looked at the woman up and down.
“I’m fine without a maid. Thank you. Bye.” He slightly bowed then he ran off not waiting for the woman’s
reply.
He didn’t want to hear her anymore for the rest of his life.
When he was already away from the restroom, he heaved a deep sigh of frustration.
Then he got his phone.
“I will send you a picture and her phone. Find out all about this girl.” Good thing, he got her picture in
the coffee shop and her phone. "Sorry, the phone, just leave it to me." Eric smiled thinking of the only
little rascal in his home, Ivan.
“Right away sir.” His investigator answered. “One more thing sir, the girl with the mask, we asked about
her and we confirmed that she got a gig today at NYC Bar. Do you want us to do something for this
girl?” The investigator added.
Hearing the report, Eric felt a little relieved.
It seemed he was not bound to catch the girl with many names now but the masked girl.
“No need. I will have it in my own way. Thanks for the info.” Eric dropped the call.
The masked girl didn't steal any from him but this was something personal.
She offended him very much and that was what she was going to pay.
After the call, he looked at the picture of the girl with many names, Eric nodded and smirked.
‘You have a beautiful face.’
‘You are good at playing hide and seek.’
‘You seemed to get it from your work.’
‘You will see I’m going to get you sooner.’
‘You will pay the time you wasted for today and the scene you made plus the money you stole from
me!’
‘Sooner, I will know your real name. I will have your real identity.’
Eric muttered continuously in the air feeling his overwhelming anger.
In a big mansion, a girl and an old man were talking.
“Hanna, dear, Come here.” An old man was talking to a girl in his office.
“Don’t worry about your mother. I will pay for everything for her funeral. Okay? When are you going to
come to me?” The old man asked.
“I… I can’t.” She answered.
“You know, my patience is almost running out. I am rich. Why do you have to live in your poor life if you
can live with me? Your mother is gone. Live with me now! I will provide everything you need,
Hannah!’
