Chapter 303
Gianna's face was like ice, "We're done, Felix. And you creeping outside my place? Not cool."
Felix looked shocked, "How'd you find out?"
Gianna shot back, "The security guard told me. Now, can you get lost?"
Felix locked eyes with her, "So, you really into Raymond now?"
Gianna rolled her eyes, "What's it to you?" She was clearly over it.
Felix pressed on, "I was hanging with other chicks just to get a rise outta you, but you didn't even flinch. Gianna, hate me all you want, but I can't stand you acting like I don't exist!"
Then, outta nowhere, he grabbed her chin and kissed her.
Gianna tried to push him off, but he had her pinned against the door, no escape.
She was fuming, ready to bite him, but he saw it coming. He let go of her lips, pressed his forehead to hers, and whispered, "Gianna, I know you and Raymond are faking it. You've been mad long enough; it's time to forgive me."
Before he could finish, Gianna felt him go stiff and then she saw him collapse to the ground.
The security guard behind Felix grinned and looked at Gianna, concerned.
"Miss Redstone, you okay?" he asked.
Seeing the stun baton in his hand, Gianna nodded, "Yeah, I'm good."
The guard said, "After you told me today, I was worried. Didn't think he'd get in. If I hadn't been patrolling, who knows what he might've done."
"Thanks," Gianna said.
Looking at Felix knocked out on the ground, Gianna didn't know whether to laugh or feel bad for him.
The guard asked, "Want me to call the cops?"
Gianna quickly waved him off, "No need. I'll get someone to take him away."
She called James, and he showed up in less than half an hour.
Seeing Felix on the ground, James looked shocked and glanced at Gianna.
"Miss Redstone, did you knock out Mr. Clinton?" he asked, surprised.
Before Gianna could answer, the guard jumped in, "He was harassing Miss Redstone, so I stunned him. Take him away and make sure he doesn't come back, or I'll call the cops."
James stayed quiet.
Five minutes later, watching Felix's car drive off, Gianna thanked the guard and headed back inside.
Meanwhile, at a private club...
Raymond and Bella sat across from each other.
After hearing Raymond out, Bella sneered, "Mr. Musk, you're something else. You want me to tell Gianna that Felix isn't divorced yet, so I look like the bad guy, and you get to play the hero?"
When Bella first heard about Gianna and Felix still being married, she was shocked, but she quickly caught on to Raymond's game.
Raymond smiled calmly, "Bella, it's a win-win. Once Felix and Gianna are officially done, you get your shot with Felix, right?"
Bella bit her lip. Raymond had a point, but she hated being his pawn.
"No way, Mr. Musk. I'm not saying a word to Gianna!" Bella snapped.
Raymond just raised an eyebrow, unfazed, "Your call, Miss Redstone."
Bella didn't say another word and stormed out.
Raymond took a sip of water and smiled, determined.
He knew Bella's obsession with getting Gianna away from Felix was so intense she'd jump at any chance.
Now, all he had to do was sit back and wait for Bella to spill the beans to Gianna. That'd do the trick.
Next morning, as Gianna pulled up to her villa gate, a black Maybach blocked her path.
Felix stepped out, looking all serious, and walked over to her side, just staring without a word.
After a few awkward minutes, Gianna frowned and rolled down her window. "Mr. Clinton, I'm about to be late for work. Move your car, or I'm calling the cops."
Felix sighed, "Gianna, it's been over a month. Are you still mad?"
Truth was, Gianna wasn't mad anymore; she just didn't want to let him off easy.
She chuckled, raising an eyebrow, "Mr. Clinton, do you really need my forgiveness? Your scandals are all over the place, and you've got women lining up for you. Why bother with me?"
"But they're not you," Felix shot back.
"You're having a blast with them. Seems like it doesn't matter if it's me or not, right?" Gianna mocked.
Felix frowned, stared at her for a bit, then suddenly laughed, "Are you mad?"
"I'm not that petty." Gianna checked the time and frowned, "Are you gonna move or not?"
"Not until you forgive me!" Felix said, standing his ground.
Gianna's eyes flashed with impatience. "Felix, don't you have anything better to do? We're done, and I've made it clear I don't want to see you again!"
Felix continued, "James told me that when a woman is mad, she says the opposite of what she means. If you say you don't want to see me, it means you want to see me all the time."
So that was why Felix had been acting so weird lately; James was behind it.
After a moment of silence, she looked at Felix with a complicated expression, "I suggest you read more documents and listen to James less."
"You didn't want to talk to me before, but now you do. In a while, you'll forgive me," Felix said.
Realizing she couldn't reason with him, Gianna didn't bother to respond and drove off via another route.
Felix watched her car disappear, a hint of sadness in his eyes.
As soon as she got to the office, Otis approached her, "Miss Redstone, the design department's having a dinner tonight and wants to invite you. You in?"
Gianna thought for a moment. She had no plans for the evening, so she nodded, "Alright, send me the time and place."
The day flew by, and as she was wrapping up work in the evening, Faith came to see her.
"Gianna, I heard you're going to the design department's dinner?" Faith asked.
Gianna, still packing up her files, replied, "Yeah, why?"
Faith smiled, "They invited me too. Let's go together. The design department's been killing it this half of the year, and I've arranged with finance to give them bonuses. I'll announce the good news tonight!"
Gianna nodded, "Sounds good."
The two headed to the garage. Faith's car was in for maintenance, so she'd been taking cabs to work.
Once in the car, Faith couldn't help but rub her hands together, "It's so cold. The weather forecast says it might snow tonight. Wonder if it's true."
Gianna started the car and, as soon as they exited the underground garage, saw Felix's car parked by the roadside.
She frowned, looked away, and turned the wheel to leave.
Faith also noticed Felix's car and couldn't help but ask, "Gianna, is Felix still bugging you?"
