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
Ariel rushes to work the next day filled with joy as she makes her way to Milan's office. She knocks twice before getting inside. Once Milan sees Ariel dressed in her blue office pants and shirt, he sends her a warm smile. "Good morning Milan""Goodmorning Ariel"Milan was still struggling a bit with addressing Ariel by her first name at work. Ariel quietly takes a seat and smiles. "I'm glad the project is back on. It's good news. "Milan nods in agreement."I'm thankful to your father. He really has a kind heart just like you. "Ariel laughs. "What are you talking about? Being modest doesn't suit you that much, you know?"Milan chuckles. "What are you on about?""I mean, this is all you. You are the reason my dad changed his mind after you won his heart. I mean, I don't even know how you did it, and I went home to convince him, but he kept giving me an unsure answer, and it was driving me crazy but you…"Milan smirks and focuses on the files on his desk. "How did you do it? I
Milan stays silent for a while as he focuses on his food and ponders on Ariel's question. "Do not worry about it""Has something like this happened to you before?"Milan looks up at Ariel who is staring at him with concern. Milan puts down his cutlery and sighs. "What about you? Have you experienced this before?"Ariel goes silent and lowers her gaze to the knife on her tablet. "Yeah it has"Milan is stunned by her response as he didn't expect his suspicions would turn out to be true. "It actually happend to me back when I was in college. My dad was well known and people knew me as well. I had my own car then as well so one night while I was going back home from a party I was dragged to, a car was following me"Ariel had a sad smile on her face as she remembered the events of the past. "Back then I was so scared. I was alone and didn't know what to do and the road was practically empty. My battery was dead and I couldn't even call for help. It was really frustrating"Ariel chugs
The car comes to a halt, and Milan stares at Ariel's house. It was his first time dropping her off at her own house and not her family house. Ariel steps down from the car and smiles at Milan. "Thanks for dinner. Have a safe ride back home. ""Goodnight."Milan watches Ariel as she gets into her house safely before he zooms off to his house. …Xavier watches as the door is swung open for him, and Tessa stands at the door staring at him. "You're here so late?"Tessa gives Xavier a hug and welcomes him inside the house. Xavier gets himself comfortable on the couch while Tessa brings her freshly cooked mac and cheese. Xavier is excited as he digs into the food happily. With a smile on her face, Tessa sits next to him, rubbing his back. "I'm really glad you came, but I'm curious. Are you finally off probation?"Xavier nods with his mouth filled with food. "That's good news! I'm so glad that man didn't fire you. It would have ruined our entire plan. "Xavier places a warm hand on
