Chapter 16

16 PERFECT TREATMENT ARIEL’S POV I was quite surprised to see Michael having sex with Rose, the lady who had taken my number earlier.

Michael quickly let go of her, and as they both began to put on their clothes, I turned my face away. But then Luke showed up. His eyes went straight to the two lovers, or whatever name you wanted to call them.

“The both of you were having sex at my company? In my meeting room?” Luke moved in their direction, anger evident in his eyes. He seized Michael, who was now fully dressed, and then he tossed him to the ground.

Luke lifted Michael to his feet and gave him a hard punch in the face. Rose gasped at the violence, and Luke didn’t hesitate to give her a dark look. I knew he wanted to beat the hell out of her. But she was lucky she wasn’t a man. He wouldn’t even dare touch her in public unless he wanted to ruin his reputation.

Luke kept on beating Michael mercilessly, and at this point, I realized something. The anger that developed within him wasn’t because of what Michael and Rose were doing at his company; it was because of something else.

I couldn’t tolerate this anymore; he was going to beat the poor guy to death. I never wanted that, and trust me, Andre wouldn’t want that either. And as for Michael, he better learn how to control himself. His love for women was too much, and he needed to know where and when to carry out certain things. But for now, I wasn’t going to let anything happen to him.

“Okay, that’s enough!” I shrieked loudly, hoping Luke would listen, but he didn’t. He kept on beating the soul out of Michael, and I felt sorry for him. I was pretty sure Luke heard me, but the anger had overshadowed his brain and taken full control of his senses.

“Luke, enough!” I shouted once again and ran towards him. “You need to stop this right now! “I grabbed his arms, trying to pull him away from Michael, but he pushed me, and I fell d *DEASRAFHT “You bastard!” Luke snarled at Michael. “Get the hell out of my company. I don’t want to see you here again. Do you understand? Now get out!”

Michael walked out of the room in shame, and his face was covered with bruises. He had a lot of explaining to do later on. And I just hoped this wouldn’t ruin our business deal with Luke, or else my plans would be completely ruined.

“And as for you.” Michael turned to Rose, giving her a death stare. “I don’t want to ever see your ugly face here again. You are fired!”

Rose pleaded, “Sir, please.”

“Get out of here before I do something you’re going to hate for the rest of your life!”

I was still sitting down, just watching the drama. Luke’s anger was so out of this world. And I hated it so much; it reminded me of the time I was still living with him. Those memories were the worst, and I didn’t even wish to live in them.

I set my eyes on my phone the moment it started ringing. It was still on the floor, a little bit far from me.

I looked at Luke, and the other man in the room was talking to him, trying to calm him down. And it seemed like Luke didn’t want to listen. That was just his regular attitude.

My phone began to ring again, and I stretched my hand to grab it. Andre was the one who was calling.

Oops, I forgot someone was outside, waiting for me.

I answered the phone call, and then Andre stated, “What’s taking you so long? I have other meetings to attend.”

“Oh, sorry, you’ll see me outside any minute,” I said, looking at Luke. He had his hands situated on his waist, and he was facing the opposite direction. I could tell he was still boiling with anger.

Luke turned around, and his eyes went straight to me. “Aren’t you going to get up?”

“That’s none of your business,” I responded in a cold tone. As I turned away, I was enraged.

PERFECT TREATMENT, “It is actually my yard.“!

I sighed deeply. I didn’t have time to get into a silly argument, so I decided to do as he had said. I slowly stood up but quickly fell down, and Luke rushed to me like an arrow from a bow. He was concerned about me, which was quite surprising and confusing.

I was feeling some pain right in my body, especially around my legs. And it was all because of that forceful push that Luke gave me. Now look at him, acting all nice and Innocent.

“What’s wrong?” Luke asked, gently touching my leg. I did nothing but watch him. I had a blank expression on my face, as I had no words for this man. You could actually say he was being controlled by a remote or something.

“Does your leg hurt?” He asked, carefully kneading my leg. He looked really worried, and I had to admit, I loved this side of him.

“Aren’t you going to give me a reply?” He continued to massage my leg.

“What do you want me to say?” I asked, and he looked at me right away. “You were the one who caused this, pushing me to the floor.”

“I’m so sorry,” he apologized instantly as he moved both of his hands slowly on my ankle. His touch was just so perfect, sending a surge of shivers right inside me. His manly hands were vigorous and, at the same time, soft. With a touch so wonderful, I was lost in the moment.

“Ouchh!” I shouted in pain the moment his hands went to a sensitive spot on my leg, and he had to adjust the movements, slowing down the pace.

I kept on staring at him as he tenderly took care of me. At the moment, I didn’t know if I was with a doctor or a businessman. This gentle touch was just the type that anyone would need. Once you felt it, you would fall in love with it, you would crave for it, and you wouldn’t want to feel the touch of anyone else in this world.

Why was I saying this? He did something like this back then, when we were still married. I accidentally spilled hot water right on my leg, giving me a slight injury. He was the one who took care of the wound.

That could just be the only lovely moment we had during our marriage.

“Look, I’m really sorry. It’s just that I lose it when I’m angry.”

PRFECT TREATMENT “You know, a good friend of mine once told me something about self–control. Have you heard of that word before?”

Luke gave me a bizarre look. “No, I haven’t,” he answered sarcastically.

I giggled. “Don’t act silly.” Everyone does have a good and bad side. But to be on the right track, we should try our very best to put away the bad side.”

Listening to my words, Luke ceased what he was doing. He stood up immediately and began to walk away.

“Where are you going?” I asked in bewilderment.

“You don’t have to worry about that; I’ll call someone to take care of you, so you can leave this place as soon as possible,” he answered and then left.

I did nothing but gape at him. I didn’t say anything wrong, did I? Seriously, that man was unbelievable.
