Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 359 - 358: Waiting for the One She’s Long Yearned For
Tiana Thorne was silent for a long time and didn’t speak again. It was unclear whether she had fallen asleep.
Aiden Shaw glanced at the rearview mirror, seeing that her eyes were fully closed.
Tiana’s long, thick eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if she was dreaming about something sad, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
It seemed she was indeed talking in her sleep.
Aiden had just turned his eyes back to the road when he heard her softly whisper, "Help me find my benefactor... will you?"
Her voice was cautious, something he had never heard before, as if she had been waiting for someone she missed for a long time.
Benefactor...
Was it a name, or did this person do her a favor, hence she called them benefactor?
Tiana murmured again, "Help me find him, okay..."
Aiden remained silent for a long time before gently replying, "Okay."
Jesse Rivers, who was driving, was momentarily stunned, feeling a bit eerie.
Aiden leaned back on the leather seat, eyes open for a while before slowly closing them.
...
The next day.
Tiana Thorne woke up late in the morning.
She had no memory of how she returned the previous night; she had slept too soundly.
After washing up, she pushed open the room door.
This was Aiden Shaw’s suite in the Azurea Forest Hotel, but besides her, there was no one else.
Huh?
Didn’t Old Fourth Shaw stay here last night?
Tiana took out her phone, only to find it had been turned off by someone.
Upon turning it on, she received numerous missed call alerts, all from May Sloane.
Tiana slightly curved her lips, imagining the beauty’s state of panic after seeing her leave with Julian Eames and not returning all night.
She opened WeChat to find a message from Aiden Shaw.
"I went back to Banyria first. I’ve booked your plane ticket. Jesse Rivers will come to pick you up."
Tiana was taken aback, suddenly remembering her request from last night to properly treat his illness, so she asked to stay at his home.
She gently curled her lips, the light in her fox-like eyes dazzling.
Banyria, I’m back!
When she reached Banyria, it was already 1:30 in the afternoon.
Tiana then turned on her phone again, seeing more missed calls from May and decided to call back.
May Sloane: "My dear goddaughter, you’ve suddenly disappeared, and I was worried sick."
"What, were you afraid I’d be bullied?" Tiana spoke quite leisurely.
Hearing her relaxed tone, May had a bad feeling: "Tia, it’s not that I’m afraid you’ll be bullied, but rather, did you bully someone else without telling me first?"
"Oh? Who did I bully?"
"Julian Eames!"
Tiana frowned, thinking for a while before recalling the person, her tone growing more lighthearted and casual: "How did I bully him?"
May explained for her: "I wasn’t there, how would I know what happened. This morning, Assistant Sutton knocked on the door, and I thought it was you coming back..."
When she opened the door, there stood Julian Eames.
May had worried all night, and as soon as she saw him, she asked for Tiana.
Instead, Julian asked her for Tiana.
At that moment, May was dumbfounded.
"Didn’t you take her away last night?"
"Tiana?" Julian frowned.
May clarified, "That’s Tiana Thorne."
Julian’s handsome face twisted slightly, speaking coldly, almost through clenched teeth, "She truly deserves the title ’brother.’"
May didn’t understand, but sensed his inner anger. If Tiana were there, she might have been torn to pieces by him.
May, being naturally protective, had worried all night, thinking Julian had brought Tiana back intact, but who knew upon opening the door, she’d have to face his outburst.
Her expression turned cold, with a tone full of blame: "Mr. Vance, aren’t you getting things backward? I haven’t even started asking you for her, and here you are, knocking at my door and shouting in the morning."
Shouting?
Julian clenched his fists, his handsome face full of anger: "May, I’m looking for her, not you. Mind your words."
"I’ll mind them even less, let me think... maybe I’ll upload the surveillance footage online with a great title, like ’National husband Julian Eames falls for young artist Tiana Thorne at first sight, blocks her door in the morning just for a glimpse. Tsk tsk, might even ride Mr. Vance’s wave of fame, not too bad either."
Julian’s face darkened; if it weren’t for his usual decorum, he’d have punched her by now.
He had never seen such a shameless agent, distorting facts and speaking about riding fame so confidently.
Tiana could almost picture the scene, curving her lips into a smile: "And then?"
May replied: "Then he stormed off when he couldn’t find you. I saw him looking like he swallowed a fly, disgusted. I guess this matter isn’t over."
"Tia, you didn’t come back last night, so I vented on Julian Eames. Now I realize, you’re not one to let a man take advantage of you, did you bully him?"
Tiana wasn’t quite sure herself, shrugging: "How could I bully him, I just sent a hot beauty his way, he shouldn’t need to come thank me early in the morning, right?"
Thank you...
May swallowed hard: "Tia, you should greet him sometime. Offending him isn’t a good idea."
Tiana said, "Yes, I get it."
"Where are you now? Finn and I will pick you up."
Tiana’s gaze had already spotted Jesse. She smiled lightly and said, "No need, I’m already back in Banyria."
May was shocked: "What?"
"When you return, let’s head to the company tomorrow to meet President Pace. That’s all for now, bye."
With that, Tiana hung up and then waved to Jesse.
Even with sunglasses and a hat, Tiana radiated a unique aura.
From afar, Jesse already spotted her.
Tiana’s red lips curved into a captivating arc, her wave carrying an indescribable beauty that was a treat to the eyes, a seductive sight to behold.
Jesse sighed softly, no wonder Aiden treated her differently.
When Tiana got closer, she smiled and said, "Jesse, let’s go."
"Okay."
At this point, a woman standing beside Jesse, who was quite pretty, took a step forward and said gently, "Miss Thorne, long time no see."
Only then did Tiana notice her, wearing a black spaghetti-strap top and white shorts, leaving no part uncovered.
The woman’s dyed and curled long wavy hair draped over her shoulders and back, aiming for sexy and alluring, yet giving off an unbearably vulgar vibe instead.
Clearly a fresh-faced girl, yet she managed to look so flashy, losing her original beauty.
Tiana retracted her evaluating gaze, lazily looking at Jesse and raising an eyebrow: "Is she your girlfriend?"
The woman incredulously asked, "Don’t you recognize me?"
