Ariel sends Milan a curious look, and Milan raises a brow at his secretary. "What is her name?"Milan wasn't expecting anyone. Talk less of a woman as he wasn't one to involve himself with women. "She says her name is Tessa."Milan's eyes quickly darkened at the mention of Ella's mother. He wondered what that troublesome woman could want, having to come all the way down to his workplace. "Alright, send her in.""Okay, sir,"Sophia, Milan's secretary, leaves the office and gently shuts the door. There was an awkward silence in the room between Ariel and Milan. "Well, I guess I will see you at the event then, Miss Hil- I mean Ariel"Ariel resisted the urge to laugh at Milan, almost being formal. "Okay. I'll see you then. "Ariel leaves, and Milan lets out a deep sigh. He finds himself staring at the door with his legs crossed as he awaited Tessa. Within a few minutes, the door is swung open, and Mrs Tessa walks in with vigour, keeping a straight face. Milan intertwined his finge
Milan arrives at the event held by The Hilton's Foundation. A tall large building stood in front of him, filled with bright lights that illuminated the night. A lot of expensive cars kept on rolling in, and people dressed in fancy dinner outfits emerged from it and walked inside elegantly. It felt like Milan was attending a fancy ball. As Milan stepped down from his car, the cold evening breeze welcomed him, and he was suddenly glad he came. Milan stood at the lobby, waiting for Ariel as they were meant to go in together. Milan had just arrived and checked the time on his rolex wristwatch and saw it was still early. Milan adjusted his tie neatly. He was dressed in an elegant white and black tuxedo that fit him perfectly. "Milan?"On hearing his name, Milan turned around to see Ariel, who stood in a long, high slit red dress. She painted her lips a red colour and was adorned in silver jewellery. The red on her matched her red hair, which made her shine brightly. Milan stared li
There was tension in the room as Milan and Ella both glared at each other. Ella was more upset than shocked to see Milan. "Why is this bastard everywhere?"Ella muttered under her breath. Troy, sensing something was off between the two of them, let out an awkward chuckle and turned to Milan. "Do you two perhaps know each other?"Milan puts his hands in his pocket. "I'm more curious. Do you perhaps know her? She is quite famous"Troy nods. "Yes, I do. She is a famous model. Who wouldn't know her?"Troy chuckles, but Milan isn't laughing as he only stares at Ella with a cold look. He wondered if Troy was clueless about Ella's reputation. tonhavs involved himself with her. Once again, Ella was attaching herself to a wealthy man like a leech. Milan was stunned at how fast she had already found her next victim. Ariel placed a hand on Milan's shoulder and then looked at Ella, who had been silent all the while with a frown on her face. "Do you two know each other?"Ella folded her arm
"What?!"Ariel looks up at Milan with worry as Milan frowns while speaking into his phone. "He left with it? Stay put, I'm coming right now, "Milan hangs up the phone and gets up on his feet. Ariel sends him a worried look. "Is everything alright?"Milan sighs. "My car was hijacked"Ariel gasps. "Wait..what?! How did it happen?! Oh no! You should call the police"Milan shakes his head. "Don't worry about it. I'll handle it myself. I. Sorry, I'll have to leave quite early, but please do well to send your father my greetings. "Ariel nodded and watched Milan walk away until he was no longer in sight. …Milan looks around the parking lot until he finds his bodyguards. "Boss!""Tell me what happened? How did that man run off with my damn car?!"Milan's bodyguards all looked at each other . "One of you answer me! What were you all doing while he took it?""We were all standing here while we waited for you boss as well as Xavier, but suddenly he got a call and then quickly hopped i
Milan checks the time on his wristwatch to see that it is almost time for "Ariel's welcome party."Milan tries to speed up his work so he can make it in time for the welcome party. A knock on his door distracts him. "Come in"Sofia, Milan's secretary, walks in with a ton of files piled up in her hands. Milan stares at her in shock as she places them on his desk and wipes the sweat off her forehead before shooting him a small smile. "Sofia, what are these?"Milan picks up the files and scan through them one by one as he adjusts his glasses. "These are for the upcoming collaboration with the Hilton's. You will have to go through them and give it your approval before the project can begin, sir. "Milan leans back on his seat and sighs, biting the end of his pen softly. "When exactly do I have to get these done?"Sofia whips out her tablet and scans through it for a second. "It would have to be submitted tomorrow, sir""Ah, I see. It seems I will be pulling an all-nighter. Do me a f
Milan tilts his head and looks at Troy, who shot him a serious look. "What is it about?""Something very important"Milan nods in understanding. "If It's important, then you should set a date for a meeting. I'll check my schedule and see when I'll be free. ""Wait that's-"Milan glances at Mr. Hilton. "Mr. Hilton, i will be taking my leave now as it's getting late. "Mr. Hilton nods while taking his drunk daughter upstairs. "I appreciate you bringing her home. Have a goodnight. ""Have a goodnight, sir."Milan turns on his heels and walks out the door. While he is at the door, he feels a firm grip on his arm, pulling him back. Milan turns around and looks at Troy, who shot him a disdainful look. "I know the type of person you truly are. You might try to deceive the others, but you can't deceive me. "Offended, Milan arches an eyebrow at him."What do you mean?""Someone like you doesn't deserve to be working with our company."Troy loses his grip on Milan arms and turns around"
Ariel follows Milan behind, and he opens the door to his office for Ariel to get inside, then shuts it once he is inside as well. Ariel takes a seat opposite Milan's desk while he sits on his own chair, running his hands through his dark hair. "I swear I had absolutely no idea about this."Milan sighs and stares at Ariel, who has a worrisome look on her face. "I know. I'm not here to blame you. "Ariel sighs and whips out her phone. "There must have been some sort of mistake or something. I'll call my dad to find out about all this"Ariel calls her father, but she doesn't get any response. She continues to dial his line, but it's hopeless as she doesn't get any response. Frustrated Ariel groans. "What the hell is going on? Why isn't he picking up?"Milan watches Ariel while he is lost in his thoughts. He can't help but remember his last encounter with Troy, who told Milan he was not meant to work with their company.Milan couldn't help but suspect that Troy might have been behin
Ariel walks into her family house and shuts the door. She looks around the sitting room but she doesn't see her brother or even her father. "Ariel?"Ariel sees her mother coming out of the kitchen and rushes towards her. "Do you know where dad is?"Ariel's mother thinks for a second. "Oh yes, dear! He is in his office, but is anything the matter?"Ariel shakes her head and rushes over to her father's office. She knocks, and he weather grants her permission before she goes ahead and enters in a hurry. Mr. Hilton sat behind his large wooden desk with his glasses as he looked through the files spilt on the table. He stares at his daughter for a brief moment before looking back at his files. "It must be something urgent if you came all the way home."Ariel lets out a long sigh with her two hands on he hips. "Dad, you know the reason why I'm here. You suddenly cancelled the collaboration with Milan's company. Why?"Mr. Hilton takes off his glasses and sighs, leaning back on his seat
