“Shit”Before Daniel could run and hide, the door is immediately swung open causing both him and Ariel to freeze in their positions.Daniel knew he was screwed so he hid his face underneath his cap to avoid the intense gaze of Milan. Milan stood at the door staring at both Ariel and Daniel who looked down sheepishly. Milan quirked a brow at Ariel after he had already caught Daniel. Both Milan and Ariel shared a look.“Mr.Reyes! What brings you here?”Milan looks at Ariel keeping a straight face.“What are you doing here?”Milan asked while sending Daniel a suspicious gaze. Ariel chuckled nervously. “It seemed like the delivery guy must have lost his way so I was just escorting him out”Daniel hid his face further hoping Milan wouldn't look at him so much. Milan let's out a heavy sigh putting up with Ariel's act. “Okay. But you both shouldn't be in here. The lunch break is over so you should get to work”Milan tried his best to sound as strict as ever like the boss that he was beca
Ariel steps out of her house unaware of the fact that she was being watched by Daniel. She gets into her car and drives to a mall to pick out her father's gift. Daniel picks at his fingernails as he waits at the front of the mall for Ariel. After a few minutes, Ariel emerges from the mall with a gift box in her hand and Daniel rushes out of his car blocking her way with a crooked smile. “Good morning beautiful”Ariel frowns at Daniel. “What?”She spat out rudely still remembering the move he had the guts to make at Milan's company. Daniel arches an eyebrow at her tone. “You're not happy to see me?”Ariel pushes past Daniel and proceeds to walk to her car. She had more shopping to do for her father's birthday and more guests to get him. Daniel was the least of her problems at that time. Daniel goes ahead to block her path again and she glared at him. “I have things to do. Move away Daniel”Milan who was driving past the mall to go to Ariel's house, stopped the driver and took a
The ride to the mall is quiet as Milan solely focuses on the road keeping a straight face. Ariel sends him a side glance from time to time without uttering a word. “What did Daniel say to you?”Milan finally spoke after minutes of silence. Ariel shrugs. “He was simply thanking me for saving his ass back then. He didn't say anything else” Milan nods. “That jerk so simply because he wanted to thank you he had to take you out for lunch and drop you off in his car? Isn't he getting too close to you?”Ariel didn't want Milan thinking things like that. She didn't want him to know that Daniel had made some advances on her as she could see in his eyes that he was starting to reconsider their plan. “It's nothing to worry about babe”“That man is dangerous. It's something to worry about. I don't like him getting so close to you like that. He does have a bad history with women”Milan places a hand over his eyes as if just realising his last statement. Daniel was a sexual abuser and he just
Milan makes eye contact with Ariel who sends him a knowing look. “Mr.Hilton, why don't we go drop off the gifts? We will be right back”Milan says quickly and grabs Ariel as Mr.Hilton nods and is quickly snatched up in a conversation by one of his guests and Troy disappears to make a call. Milan and Ariel find a corner to talk as panic fills Ariel's eyes. “What the hell are they doing here?!”Ariel whisper shouts while Milan gestures for her to stay calm as he remains calm himself. “This is unexpected but we would have to find a way to compromise. We can't have them knowing you're the daughter to Mr.Hilton”Ariel nods. “Yes! I would ruin everything if they found out. I mean my father was freaking wealthy. Why would I be working for some chump change that Mr.Brown will be throwing my way? Also why would I be working under you if you're not treating me well I could simply work in my father's company ugh!! Everyone here knows me. I'm going to blow this”Milan places a hand on Ariel'
Daniel scoffs and catches a glimpse of Ariel going to get a drink and a smirk appears on his lips. He turns back to look at Milan. “Whatever”Daniel leaves Milan and finds his way to Ariel. Milan watches Daniel silently making his way to Ariel. Daniel makes talks a little with Ariel and Milan watches them. Milan is in awe when Daniel starts dancing with Ariel. He takes another glass of wine and chugs it down helplessly watching Daniel dance with Ariel. As he stared at the both of them, he thought of a lot of things that could happen if he were to walk down to Ariel and pull her away from Daniel. No matter how much he thought about it, it wouldn't be a wise decision and Ariel would be upset with him after all the efforts she had made. Also, it was Mr.Hilton's birthday party and he didn't want to cause a scene out of respect.“What are you doing here?”Milan looks at Troy who swipes Milan's glass of drink from his hand. “That's mine!”Milan stares at Troy with his lips slightly p
Daniel curses underneath his breath as he tiptoes out of The Everest Company with a smile on his lips. “It's game over Milan”He says with a smirk on his lips. …“Did he say anything weird to you or touch you anyhow last night? Were you uncomfortable? I'm so sorry you had to go through that”Ariel chuckles at his Milan was panicking as he spoke to her softly in his office. “Really I'm alright babe! It was nothing. It's just a silly dance and there was no way he could hurt me okay. I mean there was a crowd there and you keep forgetting that I'm good a karate. I would have probably kicked him in the balls”Milan chuckles softly at Ariel's confidence. “I'm glad you seemed to have fun with your dad yesterday”Ariel nods. “Yeah and he had so much fun without taking a bite of that cake. I just knew he wouldn't-”Ariel and Milan are being interrupted by a sudden urgent knock. Milan and Ariel quickly look at each other before Milan asks who was at the door and his secretary said she was
“What the fuck do you mean they couldn't find anything?”Daniel takes off his glasses as he received news from his secretary at home. Daniel hangs up the call and frowns deeply. He gets up on his feet and paces the room. Running a hand through his already disheveled hair with a frown on his face. It just didn't make sense. Daniel was sure he had planted false evidence in Milan's company the previous night.“How…”A loud groan escapes his lips. “Milan that fucking bastard! How could he?"The sound of the front door opening catches Daniel's attention as he comes face to face with his father. Mr Brown had a scowl on his face as he frowns at his son.“Daniel”Daniel bit the inside of his cheek because he was fully aware that from his father's tone. The news had already gotten to him. “You went and sent a search party to the Everest Company? Why would you do that?!”Mr.Brown scolded his son for the first time. Daniel lets out a huge sigh feeling frustrated already with the news he w
“I can't begin to thank you enough for your help Mark”Mark sends Milan a smile. “Anything for you boss. I'm glad I could be of help”Milan and Mark clinks their glasses with smiles on their faces. It has been a while since Mark had come to his club. For a while he forgot he actually bought the club so he decided to invite Mark for a drink after Daniel's plans had failed to get him arrested with false evidence. “The only sad thing is I didn't get to see the reaction on his face when he got the message that nothing was found”Milan takes a sip of his cocktail and sighs feeling the cool liquid go down his throat relaxing him. His week had been hectic and taking a few drinks on a Saturday evening was one of his best ways to relax. “It's alright that you didn't see his face boss. At least he will be devastated”Milan nods. “One thing that amazes me is his persistence. He never seems to want to give up at all cost no matter what happens and he is always so confident that he will win”
