Because of this, ww no matter how well Athena had done over the years, someone would always give Byron the credit. And it was one of the few times someone could stand up for her. Gideon was also in a good mood. He finally saw a sincere smile on Athenas face. Even the ordinary food in the canteen tasted a lot more delicious. Athena was going back downtown after lunch. Things are mostly settled. Hale, I believe you will do well in the follow-up work. Athena had reverted to her businesslike remoteness. Are you going back to Girard City directly? Gideon asked. Tonights flight. Athena replied. Why was she in such a hurry to go back to Girard City? Who would she meet when she returned? Miss Newton, I hope you can consider the advice I gave your yesterday. Gideon couldnt hold back and said again. Athena glanced at him and didnt bother to explain anymore. She was afraid Gideon would tell Byron what she had said. If so, it would affect her departure. She responded perfunctorily and reached out to pull the door. Seeing this, Gideon immediately opened the car door for her. I just said I want to invite you to dinner when I return to Girard City. And Im not just saying that. Gideon said seriously, holding the car door. Hale, its no big deal. Its my job to solve that. Athena paused and then said, Mr. Crawford wouldnt like it if he knew I was in personal contact with you. 2e for a moment. Athena then closed the car door. The business car drove away. Gideon stood where he was, being sprayed with flying dust. He waved his hand in front of his eyes. It wasnt long before he got a call from Byron. Gideon glanced at it, then picked it up without expression. I heard things were settled over there, right? Byron asked.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates… Gideon vaguely heard Lolas voice on the other end of the line. And Lola said, Ive notified the press, and theyll put out an official press release tomorrow. Youre announcing your engagement to the public so soon? Gideon didnt answer Byrons question but asked. Well, Heather and I have reached a consensus that we both want to go through these procedures as soon as possible so as not to delay each others next work. Byron said, Wheres Athena? answer. Byron thought the signal might not be good over there. Gideon? Byron, I think you should stop pestering Athena. Gideon said in a deep voice. Then it was Byrons turn to fall silent. Gideon thought that since he had started the subject, he might as well make it clear once and for all. Didnt Athena tell you that day? Her mother was forced to death by her fathers mistress, so she would rather die than intrude on someone elses marriage. Now that youre about to announce your engagement, I think you should break off your relationship with Athena. Just let her go. Byron interrupted him coldly. Youve crossed the line. Gideon shuddered, then he heard Byron continue to say, Since you are so curious about how I will treat Athena, I can tell you directly. Athena is my person, she was and will be. Byron, are you going to force her to death? She wont die, and Ill treat her better than ever. Byron… Enough. Byron sneered, Gideon, why are you so concerned about Athena? I cant help but wonder if youre into her for something you shouldnt be.
