Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 405

"I mean exactly what I said, Anna," Arwen said, before leaning to the other side to switch off the bedside lamp.

But before she could actually do it, Gianna grabbed her arm and pulled her back to her.

"You mean to say that you are not going to New York?" she asked, her voice edged with slight suspicion. "Why? You didn't get the ticket?"

Arwen pursed her lips. "How can I not get the tickets, Anna? What do you think of me?"

"Then why aren't you going?" she asked, not understanding it at all.

Previously, she had seen Arwen being stubborn. And when Arwen becomes stubborn, it's hard to make her give up any idea she has considered.

So, why suddenly there was a change in mood?

"Because there is no need for me to go there. Besides, I have a lot of things to attend here. The annual event is around the corner. If I move even an inch, everything will get delayed. Being the Vice President, how can I be so irresponsible and not consider my people's hard work."

Gianna no longer knew how to react. She raised her finger at Arwen and opened her mouth to vent, but no words came to her aid. She was speechless to the core.

Did she not think all this while asking her secretary to book her a flight earlier?

Why was she only considering it now?

The next day, Arwen woke up as usual. Completing her daily routine and early practice, she had just walked back into her room when she heard her phone ringing.

Her brows furrowed a little when she noticed the time on her watch. It was still very early for her to receive any call.

Checking, she found it, it was another unknown number calling her. Moving the icon to take it, she answered, "Hello, may I know who is this calling?"

"Good morning, Ms. Quinn," the lady from the other end greeted. "I am Officer Jena calling from CIB. Sorry to bother you this early. I just wanted to confirm if you will be able to visit us at 11 a.m. today."

Arwen checked the clock on the call. It was showing a sharp 8 at the moment.

"11 a.m. today won't be possible," she said, continuing, "Will be fine if I reach there somewhere after quarter past 11?"

"Oh, that won't be a problem," the lady officer responded almost immediately. "I will let Officer Davis know that you will be arriving during that time."

"Thank you, Officer Jena."

With that, Arwen hung up the call.

And just when she did, Gianna's voice came from the door.

"Officer Jena?" she repeated the name before asking, "Who is she?"

"Wait, I didn't come here for nothing," she muttered to herself, trying to recall why she had come here in the first place. "Oh yes, I came here to ask you something."

Arwen looked at her and blinked, waiting for her to speak.

"You cancelled your plan of going to New York suddenly," Gianna mentioned back before narrowing her gaze at her friend. "And you did it after you had a call with my uncle. I didn't ask you yesterday. But you tell me now, what did he say to you that made you cancel your plan so willingly? Did he say that there is nothing to worry about and he has a plan to solve it all?"

She asked, and Arwen knew that Gianna was not asking because she was still confused about why she cancelled her flight to New York. But because she wanted to know if the situation at the company was really chaotic or if Aiden had some plan.

But given that Aiden had clearly said that the news was kept private, she couldn't possibly say it to Gianna.

Staring at her for a moment, she finally responded. "I cancelled it because I realized I can't go there leaving my work here."

"You want me to believe that?" Gianna crossed her arms and pursed her lips.

Arwen felt a bit guilty in heart, but then shrugging, she nonchalantly said, "Up to you. Believe it if you want. I said what I had to say. Why would I lie?" She then noted the time on the watch and hurried. "It's already getting late. Let me shower first, or else I will be late."

With that, she already turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

Behind, Gianna only raised her finger at the closed door and grumbled. "Arwen, you —Traitor. You are clearly lying."
