35 Trouble II Sandro was greatly aggrieved , watching the spectacle before him .
How could Ewan tell Athena to kneel and apologize ? Did he forget who she was , and what had happened the last time he had tried upsetting her ? If Athena knelt , then their company was as good as done ! He couldnt let that happen .
Ewan , what are you doing ? Have you forgotten … Shut up , Sandro ! This doesnt concern you .
Ewan declared hotly , folding his arms across his chest .
His ego bruised by Athenas antics , especially by that smirk that still played on her lips and grated him further , he didnt care about the past .
After all , hadnt he offered her ten percent of his companys shares ? If she was distressed , he would add an extra one percent .
Surely that would pacify her .
The shares of his company were much sought after ; people paid to have them , considering their potential ! But that smirk ??? It had to be wiped off ! Athena , kneel and apologize … Athena decided Ewan was mentally deranged .
Did he think he could control her now , because they were civil , because he offered her ten percent of shares ? Did he forget that she was the only doctor that can treat his community ? She chuckled , and looked at a pitiful Fiona .
You mentioned that I slapped you ? Fiona whimpered , lowered her head , and stepped back like Athena was bullying her .
Ewan hated it .
He glared at Athena .
Apologize ! But Athena would never do that .
Instead , with an insane speed , before Ewan could know her intentions , she landed a slap on Fionas face ; a Fiona who had stupidly lifted her face then , thinking Athena had been about to apologize .
Pine drop silence arrived in the office .
Ewan , for one , was astounded .
35 Trouble || Fiona screamed this time around , sagging on Ewans stiff body , actually feeling pain .
Tears burned in her eyes .
Sandro held back a chuckle .
Ewan was utterly speechless .
What gave Athena audacity to slap his fiancée before him ? Her backers ? Nevertheless , Athena watched in satisfaction , as her hands form was imprinted on Fionas cheeks .
Letting out a sigh of accomplishment , she took a step back , and gazed at Ewan , whose lips had thinned in hate .
Since you mentioned apologizing for a slapping I knew nothing of , I thought I should make the accusation truc Sandro chuckled then , unable to hold it in again , annoying Ewan further .
Get out , Sandro ! Why should he ? You dont want him to witness you being stupid the second time ? Athena was on a roll now .
Six years ago , you banished me from the city for an accusation with no legible evidence , because Fiona was behind it , and now youre still doing the same ?! A pause .
A humorless cackle .
of the century ! Get your Kneel down and apologize to your mistress ? You must be the joke filthy self out of my office .
And about our deal , you cant consider it nullified ! Sandro exhaled harshly , and sank his head in his hands .
There were no words to say .
He didnt even bother looking at Ewan , who was still fuming at being put down by a woman .
Ewan , who now stepped closer to Athena , with balled fists .
Athena didnt step away in fear , instead she smirked .
What do you want to do , Ewan ? Grab me by the neck like you did six years ago when I asked for a divorce ? Sandro was ignited by those words .
He stood up from the chair , walked up to the couple , and with his palm on Ewans chest , pushed the latter backward .
He will deal with the consequences later .
Ewan , let go of your pride for a minute and think clearly … 35 Trouble li Then he turned to Fiona , who squirmed under his gaze .
Sandro has never hated anyone like he hated Fiona at that moment .
He retrieved a white handkerchief from his back pocket , and sharply cleaned her face before she could understand what he was doing .
Then he showed Ewan the handkerchief .
This isnt blood , but lipstick .
Yes , her knees are bruised , but from what ? You should have asked Athena for an explanation , instead of accusing her .
Sandro inhaled softly .
What about your business sense , my friend ? Are you ready to lose your company , the lives of your people over a womans lie ? Ewan gritted his teeth , and darted glances at the three people in the room .
He didnt know what to feel .
His head had started pounding .
It wasnt a mere headache , but a kind of pounding that had him passing out for days .
He has not had one in a while .
Right now his eyes were heavy .
He staggered away from the trio , needing to be away from them all , needing to get his bearing .
Confusion and frustration were the chief emotions running through his mind .
He dumped himself in the seat that Sandro had sat on .
When he bowed his head , blood flowed from his nostrils .
He was fast enough to wipe it , before raising his head up , but two people in the room had already seen it happen .
Athena and Sandro , who have been watching him as a hawk .
Athena , who had noted Ewans pale face while he staggered , knew that this was more than an effect of the scuffle .
Was Ewan unwell ? It had been proved by the blood flowing from the latters nose .

Her heart quivered a little , before she could help it .
What was wrong with him ? She looked at Sandro .
The latter was still besotted with his friend .
Right now , he was walking up to Ewan .
Then , she glanced at Fiona , who had started all this nonsense .
The latter was looking down , still maintaining the pitiful pose , still playing the victim party .
Athena let out a sarcastic laugh .
35 Trouble II Her laugh attracted Ewans attention .
Athena , Im sorry .
Sandro is right .
I should have made inquiries before making a conclusion .
He paused , and rested his head at the sofas head .
Can you tell me what happened ? His voice was tired , almost nonexistent .
Athena held back from calling Ciara , from calling the doctors working with her to get a stretcher .
Ewan had Sandro and Fiona to take care of him .
On an ordinary day , she would have ignored his question , she would have baited him , but today wasnt ordinary .
Today , Ewan was sick ..
She has never seen him this way , even though she remembered days , during their marriage , when he locked himself up in his room .
She had thought he was meditating , or working .
Now , she wasnt sure .
I didnt slap your fiancée .
She came bearing gifts , yes , but she knelt on her own accord to plead .
I didnt do anything wrong .
