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
Today was the day Milan would start working on the project with Ariel. Milan is dropped off at a large building covered in glass that would be used to work on the project. It was a special place to test cars and the new car Milan would be developing would be created in the building. As Milan walks into the building, he is greeted by workers all dressed in coveralls and safety goggles. Machine parts arre carried around to being working on the car. Milan is excited at how busy the place is with people moving around to work on the car. Milan looks around but doesn't see Ariel anywhere. Milan hears the reving of an engine from outside and goes to see who had arrived. From the car, Ariel and Troy step down and check out the building. Milan's face lights up when he sees Ariel in a red coverall and her red hair tied in a bun. Milan hadn't realised he had been smiling and admiring her from afar until he locked eyes with her. His smile instantly dies down, and he keeps his usual blank
Troy looks around the restaurant, trying to spot Ella. She had called him feeling uneasy and wanting to clear up somethings with him, so Troy had scheduled a dinner for them. Troy sess Ella dressed in a blue dress with her eyes scanning through the menu boredly. Troy smiles and walks over to her table, sitting opposite her. Ella notices his presence, and her face breaks up with a smile. "You made it!""I'm sorry I'm a bit late. I got stuck in traffic because of all the snow. "Ella helps to brush off a piece of snow from Troy's hair, causing hum to chuckle and mouth a little thank you. After they order their food, Ella suddenly goes back to looking gloomy. Troy tilts his head, starting at her eith concern. "What's wrong?"Ella looks up at Troy and shakes her head slightly. "I'm just slightly worried"The waiters approach their table with food and drinks pouring in a glass of wine for each of them. "What's on your mind? Tell me what's bothering you. "Ella hesitates, twirling t
Milan lets out a laugh, breaking the awkward silence in the room. "That's enough. Come, I'll drive you home. "Milan drops Ariel off at her house, making sure she gets in safely before going home. Milan wakes up the next day and checks the date on his phone to see that it was December 24th, which meant it was christmas Eve. Milan checks the time to see that it was only 8am in the morning, and he quickly rushed to call Ariel. He gets up from his bed as he wants for her to pick. "Milan? Is something wrong?"Milan could hear Ariel's sleepy voice, and he sighed in relief. "Why do you think something is wrong?"Milan asks purely out of curiosity. "No offence or anything, but it's early in the morning,"Milan chuckles. "I'm sorry if I'm bothering you from sleeping, but I wanted to tell you not to bother coming to work today,""Why?"Ariel almost instantly replied, and she sounded more awake. Milan was starting to be convinced that she was walking workaholic. "Does the thought of no
