Chapter 320 Seeing Brian extend his hand , Ariana was shocked and disgusted .
Evelyn stood by and watched Arlana carefully .
Brian never took the initiative to shake hands with other women .
Everyone around turned to look at Ariana .
They hadnt expected Brian known for avoiding all other women to reach out first for a handshake .
In the end , Ariana still shook Brians hand .
Nice to meet you , Mr.
Lodge .
Ariana said that politely , but on the inside , she was already cursing him .
She wasnt sure if Brian did it on purpose , but she felt his grip tighten sharply around her hand .
Arianas injuries were bad enough .
With Brian gripping her so firmly , the pain spread through her entire body .
She couldnt show weakness in front of everyone , so she forced a faint smile despite the pain in her hand .
Brian watched her reaction closely , trying to catch a slip that might reveal she was actually Ariana .
As far as he knew , Arianas right hand was badly hurt , so any pressure should have caused her excruciating pain .
Yet this woman gave no reaction at all .

Lodge , thats enough , dont you think ? William pulled Arianas hand free .
Susan is my date tonight .

Brian had nearly crushed her hand She leaned close to William and muttered softly , Mr.
Kingsman , that was a workplace injury .
William said calmly , Dont worry , Ill cover it .
Ariana didnt really care about being reimbursed .
She just wanted to keep her distance from Brian during this banquet .
She had no idea what else he might do .
Judging from his expression , she was sure he already suspected something about her .
Her only option now was to make him doubt that suspicion .
She had to make sure she gave off no hint of being Ariana .
A short while later , Evelyn took the initiative to bring up Arianas name .
Brian , dont you think that Susan looks a lot like Ariana ? Actually , everyone who wasnt blind could see that the new executive director , Susan , closely resembled Ariana .
They looked nearly identical .
