Ramon was at a loss for words. Actually, what kind of woman should he make of his wife? Hailee sure is very cunning ...
"Fine, I will do it ... fine, later I will tell you how things are going here." Hailee nodded and then cut off the line before turning her attention to Ramon who was staring at her as if Hailee had just grown one more head.
"You sure are sneaky ..." Ramon hissed irritably.
However, after her successful crying acting, Hailee again gave Ramon a sweet smile and threw her phone aside, she then stretched her body casually and cracked her ten fingers, asking in a soft voice.
"So, you chose to go to the hospital without coercion or should I use force?" Hailee quoted one of the lines used by mob bosses in films when they were about to kidnap their target.
"Hailee, you are crazy," Ramon grumbled.
"My love, I am only worried about you." Hailee then winked at him.
==============
Finally, after arguing with Ramon, Hailee managed to get the man to relent before getting into the car driven by Charles, taking them to the hospital, because Ramon refused firmly to be taken by ambulance.
Even Dr. Bram and Martha could only be spectators and stand at a corner of the room, watching the heated argument between Ramon and Hailee.
It seemed like, just by arguing with Hailee, Ramon looked a lot better ... Because his face was no longer pale, but was red from holding back his irritation and temper, though it was not sure whether that a good thing or not.
Maybe because Ramon felt that Hailee's words had some truth, or also because he was too tired to argue with her, Ramon decided to just to comply again and immediately told Martha to tell Charles to get the car ready.
And the middle ground of their problem was finally resolved with Ramon choosing not to go by ambulance. Just thinking about it made Ramon cringe.
Arriving at the hospital, Dr. Bram worked very efficiently, because everything that was needed there had been prepared beforehand and a thorough inspection could be carried out immediately.
The examination itself took approximately four hours to complete and Ramon was referred to spend the night as an in- patient before the results of the examination came out, so that they could determine what action to take against Ramon.
And now, Hailee is accompanying Ramon who is sleeping after eating his lunch. She is currently informing Lis and Lexus about Ramon's development.
They both thanked Hailee for accompanying Ramon.
"Isn't it my duty as Ramon's future wife to do that?" Hailee grimaced a little when she said this out loud. Words like 'Ramon's future wife' still made Hailee feel a little strange and unreal ...
Maybe it was because she was still not used to it.
After calling Lis and Lexus, Hailee then called Ben Kingstone to reschedule their meeting appointment, because there was no way Hailee would leave Ramon in this condition.
Ben Kingstone sounded quite disappointed that Hailee couldn't come, but when he heard that Hailee couldn't come because of a sudden business, he tried to understand and didn't mind much about the whole rescheduling.
"Thank you very much," Hailee said before she ended the call. "Argh!"
However, when she turned her attention away from her cellphone screen, Hailee found Ramon staring at her. He had awakened.
"Can't you stop startling me? You have been doing this since morning," Hailee grumbled softly while keeping her cell phone away. "I thought you were sleeping earlier."
Ramon actually narrowed his eyes when he heard Hailee's answer. "Can you make calls from somewhere far from me? Your voice is so disturbing, how do you expect that I can stay asleep?" Ramon replied fiercely.
It seemed that Ramon had spoken to Hailee a lot more than he had spoken to his employees in recent months.
"Oops! Sorry ..." Hailee muttered, but from the look in her eyes, Ramon could see that this girl was not at all sorry for what she had done and he could only sigh softly.
"What do you want from Ben Kingstone?" Ramon asked, if he had woken up earlier, it was certain that he had also heard the conversation between Hailee and the reporter.
"Do you know Ben Kingstone?" Hailee asked, surprised.
"You mentioned his name several times," Ramon reminded Hailee. She had actually made known the person's identity very clearly without even realizing it herself.
"Oh," Hailee flashed her white teeth. "He is a business journalist," she began and shifted Ramon's bed to a sitting position so that the man didn't have to turn his body.
"Then?" asked Ramon, seeming to find Hailee's story a lot more interesting than going back to sleep.
"So, I have this plan ..." Hailee smiled broadly, a sign that seemed out of place to combine with the look of mischief in her eyes. "You know that yesterday Uncle George said he was going to give the ring to Aileen, right? I want it to be reported in the mass media. So that he can't take back what he said....
"You know, if he said that just because he didn't want the ring to fall into my hands?" Hailee leaned toward Ramon, and the man could smell the soft scent of the shampoo she had used earlier. "But, as you said, management at our family company, Tatum Jewelry is not doing well, this is sure to generate a wave of disapproval from other shareholders."
"Especially when George Tatum cannot afford to pay for it." Ramon ended Hailee's explanation and could see the girl's face beaming happily.
"Great minds thinks alike!" Hailee snapped her fingers happily and laughed. "Yes, if the media finds out about this, only two choices would be left for them; Uncle George have to buy the diamond ring from the company with his personal money or deny the news saying it was not true."
And those two options are not good choices and are very unfavorable for them.
That is risking both their company name and their personal name.
"You are a troublemaker," Ramon said, but the words sounded like praise to Hailee's ears.
Meanwhile, in front of him, Hailee was smiling broadly, flashing her teeth. "But you like me, don't you? Aren't you going to like my ways too?"
Hearing that, Ramon raised his eyebrows and smiled back. "You are quick to learn."
"Of course, I am a fast learner," Hailee said proudly, pointing at her chest and Ramon was lost for words again.
It felt really interesting to see the world from Hailee's point of view, because she always managed to see it in a different and much more interesting way.
Even these small, simple tricks sounded fun and Ramon felt eager, despite it was only a slightest feeling, to wait how it would turn out.
"Why don't you tell Mr. Kingstone to meet at a restaurant nearby?" Ramon suggested as he really thought this idea was good enough to shake the management of the Tatum family company a little, so that it would be easier for him to take over the company later.
Internal conflicts are things that are more dangerous than problems that come from outside parties, especially in the case of a family company like this.
It will be very vulnerable to a shift in leadership, moreover, Aileen is not a part of the Tatum family biologically and George Tatum, proved to be not very competent in handling the company.
"No," Hailee answered in a voice that was half muttering. "If I go, you will be here alone."
"You want me to come too so I won't feel lonely?" Ramon asked.
"What? Why would you be coming?" Hailee frowned, as if something was wrong with the interpretation of these words. "You are sick, how can you come with me to go outside?"
"Aren't you the one who doesn't want to leave me alone?" Ramon asked again, making an innocent face.
And only then did Hailee realize that he was playing with words. "Stop playing with me Ramon. Don't use that trick." Hailee glared, but it made Ramon laugh and ruffle her hair.
Somehow both of them loved this moment, as if there was only the two of them that understood each other.
"Go on and take care of your business," Ramon suggested. "The sooner, the better. Our wedding is only a few days away. I don't want our honeymoon to be disturbed later by this problem."
Hearing the word 'honeymoon', Hailee's cheeks flushed red as she smiled shyly at Ramon.
"Stop showing expressions like that, you are scaring me." Ramon then closed his eyes again and turned around, his back to Hailee, but there was a small smile on his lips when he heard Hailee start grumbling over his comments earlier.
==============
"I want you to release the news to the mass media. "Giana's voice sounded very cold and stiff, while her eyes were focused on the beautiful tiara before her.
It is the same tiara that Ramon won at the auction to be presented to Hailee on their wedding day.
Dillon who was standing beside Giana could only sigh heavily. He didn't know how long this woman would behave like this.
"Giana, are you really going to attack that girl with this news?" Dillon asked in disbelief, staring at the woman in front of him.
They are currently in the exhibition room and all the valuables in this room, would be delivered to the respective buyers today and the tiara would be the last item on the delivery list.
Giana wanted Ramon to take the tiara himself.
Ramon was at a loss for words. Actually, what kind of woman should he make of his wife? Hailee sure is very cunning ...
"Fine, I will do it ... fine, later I will tell you how things are going here." Hailee nodded and then cut off the line before turning her attention to Ramon who was staring at her as if Hailee had just grown one more head.
