Dead at Heart Chapter 319
Ariel had been swamped these past couple of days.Carlos had given her last-minute notice that she would be going straight to the final exam, so she needed to dive back into review as quickly as possible.She didn't let her confidence cloud her judgment. She went over the material again in her spare time. After all, it had been years since she was last in an academic setting.No one would succeed without putting in the work.Carlos had opened up this opportunity just for her. She didn't want to let him down. If she was going to do it, she was going to give it her all.…By Friday, Ariel and Chad held a densely packed meeting with dozens of engineers from the technology department.They reviewed and debated proposals for the flight control system, propulsion system, and navigation.Not long after noon, Alan from the new energy company showed up.Aside from the military project, Ariel had another venture in early-stage development. She had discussed the concept with Alan, who wa

Nancy might think Faye Technologies had made some questionable hiring choices—one in particular—but she wasn't blind to the overall talent pool.Any random engineer here could probably outshine the average.Ariel finished organizing her notes. Without sparing Nancy another glance, she stood up to leave.When she walked past Jayson's seat, he turned toward her. "Are you feeling better now?"The first thing out of his mouth was concern, but his tone carried zero warmth.Ariel stopped, her expression icy and distant. "You want to talk about what I said to threaten Nancy, don't you? Why beat around the bush?"Jayson tapped a finger against the table, not denying it. He just stared at her.Ariel hated situations like this, especially Jayson's stance, which clearly showed that he was siding with Nancy. It disrupted her peace."Relax," she said coldly. "I don't have the time to deal with her now. But that could change."As long as Nancy didn't cross her, she had no interest in stirri

For a brief moment, the massive conference room fell dead silent.Nancy's usual gentle expression froze in sheer disbelief. She stared directly into Ariel's calm, indifferent gaze, which left her with no room for retreat.After a long pause, Nancy's expression finally eased.Well, she hadn't misjudged Ariel's nature after all.Ariel actually dragged personal grievances into such an important meeting and resorted to petty threats just to protect her precious ego.Nancy leaned back in her chair with a quiet scoff. She was clearly done talking.All of a sudden, it hit her just how sad it was that Ariel had poured so much into a relationship and received nothing back.What was even the point of fighting with her?Just then, Ariel's gaze drifted to the door and met a pair of sharp, steady eyes. He was watching her, something unreadable behind his gaze.Jayson stood there with Chad behind him.Ariel hadn't expected to be caught by Jayson at such a critical moment.Her eyes were fr

After the pause, Carlos said, "Good. Now that you're done with him, it's time to focus on yourself."About the postgraduate admissions exam, thanks to your work on developing U.N2, I recommended you for a preliminary exemption. So, just prepare your paperwork and go straight to the final exam. It's mostly a formality."Ariel was stunned.But Carlos didn't give her a chance to ask anything. He hung up on her—classic grumpy Carlos behavior.Still, the news was a pleasant surprise.If she had followed the typical timeline for the postgraduate admissions exam, she wouldn't have been eligible until next year.Ariel suddenly thought of Nancy. The latter seemed to have plans to take the same exam as well.Ariel didn't know how far along Nancy was or what her plans were. And honestly, she didn't care. Other people's goals were theirs.All she wanted was to pursue what truly mattered to her. At the very least, she didn't want to be left with any regrets.…Chad had forced her to take

Ariel hadn't put on any makeup today. After yesterday's sudden hospitalization, her pale, worn-out face showed every trace of what she had been through."I'm fine now," she replied politely.Liam poured water for Ariel and Janice before asking, "Did you get checked out?"Janice answered for Ariel, "She went to the ER last night. They said it was acute stomach pain."But Liam looked thoughtful.With his years of medical experience, he could tell there was something unusual about how thin and delicate Ariel looked.He didn't say anything yet; he just called in Isaac so they could walk Ariel through Leonard's treatment plan together.Ariel trusted them. After all, Liam was a top oncology expert whom even other specialists recommended.Once they had gone over everything, Ariel didn't linger.Liam walked them out. His expression revealed nothing, but he said with measured restraint, "Ms. Walker, you don't look very well. I'd recommend a full checkup."Though Ariel's help last time

Jayson's voice was calm and steady.His words landed squarely in Ariel's ears, leaving her stunned for several seconds.Outside the door, the nurse looked at the striking man in front of her in surprise. A few of the younger nurses nearby couldn't help sneaking glances his way.Jayson lowered his gaze to the nurse. "I need to speak with the doctor from last night. Do you know what time his shift starts?"ER doctors rotated shifts. When it got busy, they were almost impossible to track down.He still had no idea what exactly was wrong with Ariel.The nurse had just opened her mouth to respond when the door in front of her swung open.Ariel stood in the doorway, looking unwell. Her expression was unmistakably displeased. She stared straight at Jayson.He looked down at the sound and met her eyes calmly."Good morning. Do you still feel sick anywhere?" he asked before she could say anything.With a composed expression, he sized her up.It stopped Ariel cold, cutting off the que
