Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 399

Gianna froze.

Her heart skipped a beat as she slowly turned.

There, standing in the doorway, was Arwen —her one hand on the doorknob while her piercing gaze locked onto her.

One glance at her and she could tell that it was not suspicion in her gaze —it was the confirmation.

She has heard it.

"Gia, what happened?"

She heard her mother ask and realized her phone was still on a speaker.

Before she could move to hang up, she heard her mother speak again.

"Was it Arwen, Gia?" Efa had heard the voice, but since she was on the other end of the call, she still needed to confirm it with her daughter. "You can't tell her or let her know anything happening her, Gia. You heard me, right?"

Gianna closed her eyes, not knowing how she should react.

Her mother was asking her not to reveal anything to Arwen … but after saying it so loud and clear, did she even give her a choice to choose from?

Pressing her lip tightly, she spoke through gritted teech. "Mom, I got it. Let me call you later." With that she swiftly but with deliberate moves reach for her phone and pressed the hang up button.

She didn't turn to look at Arwen straight. Instead, she simply closed her eyes and tried to think if there was any way to hide it away.

Just when she thought she had time to find a way, she heard arwen repeat.

"You hadn't answer me yet, Anna. What it is that I won't be able to find out?" _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

Gianna opened her eyes and slowly turned towards the doorway. But to her surprise, Arwen has long walked in and was now stand right in front of the best. With just few more steps, she would easily be able to come to her side.

"Since when did you learn to walk pussy-footedly?"

Arwen didn't ponder over her comet. Simply pursing her lips, she counter, "Unfortunately, you still haven't explained me what I have asked you, Anna? Want me to repeat it again?"

Gianna didn't intend to stall her. Instead, she just wanted to refuse it once and for all so that Arwen doesn't come and ask her what she didn't want to explain.

Shaking her head, she slowly asked, "Do I have an option to refuse to answer?"

Arwen crossed her arms, her gaze unwavering. "What do you think?"

"I think I don't have it."

"Then you should also know the inevitable shouldn't be delayed, or else it brings the repercussions."

Gianna smiled, knowing well what Arwen meant by that. Nodding, she agreed before asking, "Then tell me, from which part of the conversation were you were you eavesdropping?"

If Arwen wouldn't have wanted to know what it was, she would have engaged a separate conversation to defend herself against eavesdropping. However, right now, her priority was different, so she simply answered.

"From the point you said I won't be able to find it out."

Gianna stretched her lips in a forced smile as she asked, "That means you haven't heard anything at all. Can't you simply believe that there isn't anything and I was merely just joking around. After all, what possibly can I hide from you?"

"Anna —"

"Fine, don't call my name in that tone. I am telling you."

Gianna relented, knowing well that no matter what she says now, she couldn't make Arwen forget it.

Taking in a deep breath, she said, "Something big happened in company headquarters in New York!"

Arwen's brows jutted in a frown.
