Ciara badly wanted to chew Andrew out. She bit her lower lip to restrain herself.
She found him repulsively shameless. Everyone knew that he was the second son of the Lewis family. He would use it to his advantage, but he wanted her to keep her identity under wraps. How was that fair? Only a fool would agree to such a condition.
“Deal!” Adrian agreed without asking Ciara how she felt about this condition.
It made her dumbfounded.
Now that they had struck a deal, Darian and the others left the dining room. Adrian wiped his lips and hands with a piece of serviette without looking at Ciara. He then went upstairs, still not sparing her a glance. Ciara stared at his back in a daze. Once she regained her senses, she went after him.
“Wait up!”
Adrian halted his wheelchair and spun around to look at her. “What’s wrong?”
“You should have asked for my opinion first. I can’t win the bet. Besides, I don’t even want to get involved in this.” Ciara frowned and added with a slightly annoyed tone, “I don’t understand why you dragged me into this mess. I’m not up to the task. You should tell them that the bet is off before-“
“Aren’t you looking for a job?” Adrian cut her off, toying with the ring on his index. finger.
“How did you know that?” Ciara’s eyes widened in surprise. His statement made her remember how he had showered praises on her during breakfast. Her suspicion quadrupled. And how did you know about my past? You had me investigated?”
Adrian snorted, “Am I wrong for wanting to know more about my wife, especially considering that we didn’t date or know each other before the shotgun wedding?”
“I knew it,” Ciara murmured, pouting.
Her suspicion was correct. Sure enough, a cautious person like Adrian wouldn’t allow someone of unknown origin to wander around him just like that.
“I know that you badly need a job. Lewis Group will be a good platform for you to start your career. Think about it,” Adrian said in a flat voice.
Ciara didn’t need to be told that. She knew that the advantages of working in such a top company outweighed the disadvantages.
However, she didn’t want to be a part of their family feud.
If Andrew lost, he still had his father backing him. On the other hand, she would most likely be abandoned if she lost.
Ciara thought it through and shook her head. “No, I’ll pass. The stake is too high. I can’t do it. Instead of going to war in SJ Entertainment, I’ll look for a job elsewhere.”
After a long silence, Adrian sneered, “You can’t, or you won’t? Is it because you don’t want to ruin your ex-lover’s plan?”
“What are you driving at?” Ciara got angry. “I told you before that I no longer have feelings for Andrew. Stop linking me to him. I don’t care what happens to him.”
“Then prove me wrong. Beat him hands down!” Adrian stared Ciara dead in the eye.
He strongly believed that actions spoke louder than words.
As far as he was concerned, his wife and half- brother still had some lingering feelings for each other.
He felt that they wouldn’t have flirted in his bedroom on the wedding night if they weren’t still into each other. “I don’t have to prove anything to you. This is bullshit!” Ciara declined, her voice raised.
“Let me be the judge of that, Ciara. Don’t you want your mother’s belongings anymore?” Adrian uttered, his mouth curving into a smile. “If you trash Andrew in this game, I’ll hand them over to you. Deal?”
The moment Adrian’s proposal fell on Ciara’s ears, she was caught in a bind. Her heart was at war with itself, struggling to decide the course of action.
Adrian’s offer was tempting. For a fleeting moment, Ciara found herself on the brink of agreeing to the bet, but then she hesitated.
In the back of her mind, Ciara was certain that there was more than what met the eye, and she couldn’t help but suspect that there was a trap hidden within the offer.
Being a novice in the field of actor agents, she had no experience or connections. How could she compete with Andrew?
“If I’m being very honest, my previous internship experience doesn’t qualify me for the job. I have never worked as an agent. I’m afraid that…” Ciara told Adrian, declining his offer.
But Adrian was not one to give up easily. He leaned in closer, his voice soft and coaxing. “I know what you are worried about. The competition in this field is all about resources. But with me by your side, what have you got to fear? Don’t worry, I’ve got everything arranged.”
Ciara was swayed by Adrian’s assurances. Could it be that he was offering to secretly help her win the bet?
If that were the case, she had nothing to worry about.
After all, Adrian was still the CEO of the Lewis Group, and even though he wasn’t present at the company, he had the power to pull strings behind the scenes.
Ciara mulled over the decision in her head. She realized that Adrian was merely using her as a chess piece to outmaneuver Andrew.
She resigned herself to being obedient to Adrian’s plan. After all, winning the bet meant she could retrieve her mother’s belongings and put Andrew in his place.
Convinced, Ciara relented and said, “Alright, I’ll give it a try.”
After reaching an agreement, Ciara said her goodbyes to Adrian and went back to her room.
As she walked away, Adrian’s demeanor changed from warm and welcoming to icy and calculating, a sinister glint in his eye.
Horace, who had been lurking in the shadows, finally emerged and voiced his concerns. “Boss, are you really going to let them run amok like this? Aren’t you afraid they’ll wreck the Lewis Group?”
Adrian sneered, “The more chaos, the better. I want to see these two former lovebirds go head-to-head.”
