Genius Girl-Chapter 146 - 146: Aaron Wesley

Chapter 146 - 146: Aaron Wesley

"Ms. Chen, Camille is my friend and -"

Daniella cut her out by calling her name, "Look, you give me what I want and I will return the favor," she puckered her lips, "if you don't do what I want then I will destroy your company."

"Are you threatening me?" Caitlyn exclaimed.

"hm..." Daniella sighed, "yeah... I think the right word is 'threat'."

"You are crazy!"

"I am more of a psycho actually," Daniella laughed faintly which sounded like a robot, "what about this..." she blew a sigh and looked up at the ceiling, "the judge that handling the custody case you have for your daughter. What if I convince him to give the custody to you instead of your husband, will that change your mind?"

The other line went silent, it was just Caitlyn's heavy breathing.

"Can- you do that?" Caitlyn stuttered on the other line, "the judge and my ex are best friends I don't think it's possible."

"I will have someone deliver your daughter tomorrow at your doorstep."

"Really? Then yes, absolutely!" Caitlyn's voice broken down and she said those words in between her sobs, "who are you really?"

The way Caitlyn cried for her daughter it warmed Daniella's heart. She suddenly remembered how her mother cried when they reunited after they escaped the laboratory.

Clearing her throat to remove the painful memories, Daniella spoke, "just someone who gives favor in exchange for a favor."

"If you get my daughter, then yes, I will make anyone be the cover of my magazine."

"Great!" Daniella rose from her chair and walked towards the door, "Please call Ray and set the date for the photo shoot."

Saying that she ended the phone and walked in the hallway of the hotel where the press conference for Scarlet's debut was happening.

As she waited for the elevator door, a voice which was so familiar sounded from somewhere, Daniella looked around and saw a man who just came out of room walking towards her.

The man who saved her from killing herself, he's walking towards her while he was busy talking to someone on the phone.

"I will meet you downstairs."

It was the same voice as before, Daniella's heart stopped for a moment to see James Park.

Her feet moved backward; her body suddenly felt weak that she dropped her handbag as she tried to run towards the fire exit.

"Hey, it's you."

Another voice spoke, the door of the fire exit was opened and when Daniella raised her face, she found Aaron Wesley standing in front of her with a camera hanging on his neck beside the ID with the word 'PRESS' imprinted on it.

Her eyes swelled, she looked at James' direction who was now staring at her with narrowed eyes.

"Ella?" James asked uncertainty was in his voice.

Daniella immediately grabbed the strap of her bag and rushed downstairs, her heart pulsated and she didn't know why.

She can't talk to James now, not after their last conversation.

She ran as if she's escaping a ghost, her hand holding her bag suddenly got tired from hauling it.

When she finally reached the ground floor, Daniella rested a hand on her chest. Standing on the last step of the stairs, she looked at her side.

Her eyes blinked in confusion, the strap she's holding was not her bag strap rather, it was the strap of the camera hanging on Aaron's neck.

She gulped hard, "wait," her mind froze for a moment, "where's my bag?"

Aaron touched his neck, "you must have mistaken me from your bag, you dragged me all the way down."

Hearing that, Daniella slapped a hand on her forehead, "that explains why it was so hard for me to run," she bowed her head a little to apologize, "sorry, I just need to escape," saying that, she took a step back.

"Be careful" Aaron warned but it was too late, Daniella had fallen down and her ass was smashed down the ground.

Daniella's face screwed in pain, as she tried to get up, Aaron suddenly carried her in his arm.

Swelling her eyes in surprise, Daniella patted his chest, "I am alright, just put me down!" she hurriedly said.

"It's fine," Aaron carried her out of the fire exit and proceeded to the lobby, "you can rest on the couch."

Daniella turned mute, she gulped hard as she tried to hide her face with her palms, people around were looking at them, especially the employees in the hotel.

"You can put her down now."

Suddenly a voice sounded behind Aaron, he turned around with Daniella in his arm.

"Babe!"

Aaron confusedly switched his eyes between Daniella and the man in front of him.

"You know him?" he asked.

Daniella nodded with a wide smile on her lips, "yes, that's my boyfriend!" she said proudly, then like a kid, she stretched her hand, asking Evan to get her.

"What happened?" Evan asked.

"I fell down."

Evan slightly lowered Daniella down to the floor, he scanned her body to see where she was hurt.

"It's fine babe," Daniella swayed a hand in the air, "it's not that serious," then she patted her butt to show that it's no longer painful, "see."

Evan blew a sigh, his eyes softened as his lips mirrored Daniella's smile, "fine, I won't worry anymore."

Daniella brushed her palms together and then turned to face Aaron while her arms sn.a.k.e.d around Evan's arm.

"This is Aaron Wesley," Daniella introduced to Evan, "we met because of his cat, he named it Dan-Dan like the nickname my brother gave to me," from looking at Aaron, Daniella turned to Evan, her eyes were locked – staring on the tip of his nose, "this is my boyfriend, Evan."

The two shook each other's hand, both eyes were narrowed as they stared at each other, neither of them said a word.

"What are you doing here?" Daniella and Evan asked each other at the same time.

Then they both laugh.

"I am meeting James Park," Evan placed both hands on her cheeks and squashed them lightly.

"Oh well! I am avoiding him so I got to go," Daniella waggled her brows, she tiptoed to reach his lips and shared the memories from the conversation she had with Caitlyn.

When their lips separated, Daniella turned to Aaron, "Mr. Press, Scarlet is my friend so I hope you can write good words about her," then she winked and left the hotel.

Evan watched as Aaron left his side, his eyes narrowed, that face, he had seen it somewhere but he couldn't remember.

"Wait!" he shouted and Aaron stopped.

Evan rushed towards him, "where did you get the name Dan-Dan?" he curiously asked. Daniella's name might be usual but her nickname was unique.

Aaron tilted his head, "I got it from the girl my friend and I saved some years ago."
