"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
"Xavier, Daniel, and Ella. So far, what have you found out about those people? "Marks opens his bag and takes out some photos sprawling them on the table for Milan to see. Milan leans forward and picks up one of the photos, and carefully scrutinises it. There were different photos of Troy and Ella hanging out in different locations, and there were a lot of photos. Milan drops a photo where Ella is smiling brightly while holding Troy's hand down a park. "So what? Are they dating now?"Mark ponders on Milan's words for a while. "It already seems like they are a couple, but they aren't yet"Milan raises a brow at Mark. "Yet? So Ella would actually succeed in getting into a relationship with Troy?""I'm not certain, sir, but with the amount of time they are both spending on each other, it seems Troy might have already fallen for her. I don't see him hanging out with any other woman either. "Milan didn't like the news he had just got about Ella. She had been plotting her way into
Ariel walks into her father's home office and sees her dad working with some files scattered on his desk. "Ariel. Are you home again?"Ariel quickly takes a seat and sighs, staring at her dad with pleading eyes. "Dad, please. You can't let Troy end the collaboration. It has to go on, or it would cause some issues in the company. "Mr. Hilton takes his eyes off the documents on his desk and stares at his daughter. "My Princess Troy already gave his reasons. You shouldn't fight with your brother over this""But that I work in that company. They had other companies to collaborate with, but I have them the idea to collaborate with us. To see how amazing we are, for them to see how amazing our company is, dad, and most of all…"Ariel looks down at her fingers. "To see that I'm beneficial to them. I just came in, but I have to show them how great of a help I can be to the company. "Mr. Hilton frowns and takes hold of his daughters hands. "You do not have to do any of that, my love. Yo
"What?"Ariel and her dad turn around to see Troy at the front door with Ella in his arms. The both of them wore a shocked expression to the news they had just heard. "Dad! What are you talking about?"Troy frowns as he walks up t9 his dad. Mr. Hilton turns and walks upstairs to his office. "Come with me, Troy. we need to have a discussion."Troy sends his sister a dissaproving look before he follows his father closely behind up the stairs. Ariel still had a smile on her lips and whipped out her phone, debating whether or not to tell Milan the good news her father had delivered to her. Ariel wondered how Milan had managed to convince her father. It was impressive. "Ariel"Ariel turns to look at Ella, who stood in a peach coloured flower dress smiling sickened at her. "We meet again"Ariel felt sick to her stomach just staring at Ella and her fake smile. Ariel could easily sniff out Ella's fakeness, and it only annoyed her. "Yeah. What are you doing here?"Ariel asks in an offen
