Chapter 45- His First Warning
“ It's a good thing you're not, I can't believe this," Arrogant Ariana said with her eyes to her phone, we both knew who she was talking to.
“ I don't know why she doesn't know the right time to message me," Arrogant Ariana complained with a shake of her head. She was trying to make it sound like she wasn't talking to her uncle but we know better.
“ Is everything alright, Miss Miller?" Mr. Louis asked. I know the man wasn't stupid, he could feel the tension building on the table.
“ Yeah, it's just a friend, she won't stop bothering me, It's personal,” she said as she picked up her phone then dropped it to concentrate on the food.
We ate in a tense silence, none of us saying anything and it was all this man's fault.
Why would he suddenly appear in Paris and as if that wasn't enough he was trying to cause trouble.
Of course I know he didn't like Ariana being the CEO but it doesn't make sense that he was trying to act in front of an important person like Mr. Louis that he was the better option for the company.
What does he want Mr. Louis to think?
When we were done eating we walked out of the restaurant as we walked Mr. Louis to his car.
“ Once again, I'm very grateful to you all for making my fashion show very memorable," Mr. Louis said.
“ It's my pleasure sir, and thank you too for the opportunity you gave us," Arrogant Ariana said.
“ Well, it's time I get going," Mr. Louis said as the car door was opened for him.
“Miss Miller, Mr Smith, Garry, good night,"
“ I'm still in Paris, we could still have a drink," Garry suddenly said and from Ariana's face it was clear she didn't like what he was trying to do.
It's not that having a drink with Mr. Louis was bad but we all knew the Garry bastard didn't have good intentions.
“ Of course," Mr Louis said before finally entering the car.
As soon as his car drove away, arrogant Ariana turned to Garry.
“ Whatever it is you're trying to do, stop it because it won't work," She said and all the bastard did was chuckle like he was finding the situation funny.
“ You know you look very funny trying to challenge a man like me, I'm old enough to be your father, you should learn to talk to me with respect.” he said as he eyed my boss. If you didn't look closely into his eyes you'll miss the evil glint contained there.
“ I'm going to treat you just how you deserve and if you see it as disrespect, so be it but that's what you deserve," She said with a challenge.
“ You seriously look like a little girl afraid her Barbie doll would be stolen from her, well, Ariana is there something you're scared of losing?" He asked with a raised brow.
“ There's absolutely nothing, everything I have it's because I deserve it and I'm worthy of it whether it's a Barbie doll or not, whatever I have it's because it belongs to me, what about you uncle Garry? You sure are acting like a little boy trying to get back his ken toy," Whoa that was smooth, my boss sure knows how to give a comeback.
Mr. Garry Miller looked at arrogant Ariana like he wanted to say something but he shook his head and smiled.
“ Well, good night Miss CEO, and Mr assistant," he said as a black car pulled over and he turned away from us.
“ Good night to you too and good luck trying to get favors," Arrogant Ariana said as Mr. Garry Miller paused in front of the car door but didn't turn, I'm sure a lot of things must be going through his mind.
Without a single word, he opened the car and got in as the driver started the car and drove off.
This was such an intense night but I knew more storms were coming, this man was a dangerous man and arrogant Ariana has to be careful.

ARIANA'S POV
We were sitting in the car on our way back to the hotel but my mind was running a thousand miles.
I don't know if I should be happy that he was here in Paris and I didn't have to worry about him constantly threatening my Mom but at the same time I knew that whether he was here or in Las Vegas I'm still not gonna like it.
Sometimes I don't know if it's evil to wish that he could just disappear.
I don't know why out of all the men to marry my aunt had to marry him and now he's acting like the family company should be his.
The car stopped in front of the hotel as I stepped out of the car with my assistant.
We both quietly walked into the hotel as we got into the elevator.
“ I'm sorry about the lady that threw the drink on your face last night," my assistant suddenly said and I just slowly turned to look at him.
“ Just as I said last night, the next time something like that happens, whatever I intend to do to the woman would be done to you, I'll never let any low life embarrass me, are we clear?" I asked.
“ No," he said as I watched him put his hands into his pocket and looked me square in the eyes.
" I understand your anger, but the next time you'll think of slapping me I won't let it slide,” he said and I couldn't help but scoff.
What can he do? I didn't ask him to go fooling around with women.
“ What? You'll slap me back, is that it?" I asked.
" Well, why don't you try and find out,” he said challengingly and without thinking I raised my hand to slap him but the next thing I knew was that my back hit the elevator wall.
Then I felt a breath on my neck before a deep voice followed.
" I warned you,”
