Chapter 3 Let Go of Me,

Even though Ben had already prepared what he wanna say to his idol, his mind suddenly went blank, and he could only stare at him with wide eyes.

Thinking that he had frightened the child, James quickly restrained his cold aura and curved his lips slightly, trying to appear more friendly.

“Are you okay?” he asked again.

Ben quickly nodded his head.

“Uncle, I’m fine.”

The little one’s voice was clear and tender.

His eyes looked around, then he cautiously asked, “Uncle, can I have a signed photo of you?”

“Hmm?”

It was the first time someone asked James for a signed photo, and he found it quite strange.

He also felt he’s into this child, so he crouched down, wanting to talk to him a bit more.

But at that moment, Ben noticed his mommy coming out of the women’s restroom, So he immediately ran away.

James originally wanna pat Ben’s head, but seeing this, he paused with his eyebrows furrowed.

“Why did he suddenly run away? Is he afraid of me?” James thought.

That child disappeared in an instant.

James stood up, and became cold as usual, then walked away.

After Aria came out, she found that she had left her bracelet inside, so she hurriedly turned back, which made her avoid seeing both her child and James.

Little Ben stopped at a corner, touching his chest.

“Oh my god, I nearly got caught by mommy,” he thought, “But why mommy’s here? Hmm...Auntie Mary said that mommy had a business dinner...in here?”

The little one furrowed his brows, mirroring James ’s expression.

Suddenly, he looked up, and saw a well-dressed man standing in front of him, staring at him with shock.

“Oh my god, who are you?”

“This child looks too much like the boss!” The man thought, “He’s like a miniature version.”

He couldn’t help but suspect that this was the boss’s illegitimate child!

Ben immediately stayed alert..

“Mommy told me not to talk to strangers outside. This uncle looks strange!” He thought, and then run away quickly.

Meanwhile, Aria, under the urging of her colleague, hurriedly returned.

“Aria, we’ve been waiting for you, come on.” The colleague called her at the door.

Aria quickly walked over and followed her colleague inside.

At first, she didn’t think much of the change in bosses, but now, she was a little bit nervous.

After all, this was a major event for the company, and if the new boss wasn’t satisfied, they could be fired at any time.

Although she had confidence in her designs, she still worried about whether the new boss would like them.

If she lost her job, it would lower her children’s quality of life, and she couldn’t bear to see that.

“Boss, let me introduce you. This is Aria, our company’s most outstanding designer.” Jack happily pulled her over to the new boss, James Anderson.

In front of the stage, there was a flattering introduction, “The designer of Starry Sea collection. She’s super awesome.”

“Emily Scott!” James ’s dilated pupils refleted his huge shock, and instantly his eyes turned red, while his cold aura transformed into a storm, making his breathing become rapid.

“Why is this person, who died five years ago, standing here perfectly fine?!” He thought.

Aria also never expected that the new boss would be James Anderson, the person who hurt her the most.

A sharp ‘crack’ echoed in her mind, as if something had shattered. And a flash of hatred swiftly passed through her once-clear beautiful eyes.

She clenched the hem of her clothes tightly, with such force that her veins bulged and her nails nearly broke as she struggled to regain her composure.

Since there’re many people, she didn’t see him at first...

She hesitated a bit, thought, “Should I kick this bastard’s ass?”

“I am not Emily Scott, I am Aria, Aria Stewart“ she said with a smile, and her eyes were cold.

“Huh.” James lightly scoffed, and the next moment, he shattered a cup in his hand!

Everyone was stunned by this scene and couldn’t react in time.

Aria was also startled.

Her gaze met James’ dark eyes, where flames seemed to flicker.

She thought, “Huh, why is he angry? He’s the one who abandoned her, and brought pains to her! If anyone should be angry, it should be her!

Blood flowed from James Anderson’s palm, and his assistant Joseph woke up from the shock, looking at his hand with concern.

“Boss, your hand...”

James abruptly stood up, step by step approaching Aria.

His powerful and chilling aura was like a strong wind, with knives slashing, shooting towards Aria. She slowly raised her head, maintaining direct eye contact with James without any retreat.

“Aria? Quite interesting, do you think that changing your name will make a perfect disguise? Emily, nice move!”

Deceiving everyone for five years, and making them believe that she was dead.

Because of this, he often felt guilty and couldn’t sleep at night.

Aria sensed the gritted teeth in his voice, finding it amusing.

The tension between the two was clear, leaving people puzzled.

Jack, looking confused, spoke up, “Aria, you know the boss?”

As soon as Jack finished, James coldly glanced over, which made Jack to be afraid of even breathing.

In the next second, James grabbed Aria’s hand and started walking out.

“Let go of me, I am not Emily Scott, you’ve mistaken me for someone else!”

Aria’s gonna freak out: She finally obtained a peaceful and comfortable life, why did this jerk show again! Anyway, she could not admit her real identiy.

If only she had known that the new boss would be James Anderson, she would definitely not show up!
