บททั้งหมดของ Mr CEO’s Little Heartthrob: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

The soft glow of the evening sun cast a warm hue on Ariadne's dorm room, filling the room with a gentle silence as she sat by the window, her thoughts scattered all over the place.The events of the dinner party replayed in her mind; the accusations, the misunderstandings, how swiftly he had left her behind without a second thought and the feeling of dejection she felt when Denver abandoned her at the dinner event to take care of Molly instead. It was clear that Denver had chosen to believe Molly's words over hers, and that realization had struck her hard.It’s been days after the dinner event and Ariadne’s communication with Denver has dwindled. Ariadne had intentionally let the conversations dwindle with her unexcited responses after she seemed to have been forcefully jolted back to reality and she felt the need to give him some distance to prevent falling headlong.With a determined exhale, Ariadne made a decision. She needed to give Denver his space. A

Ariadne's eyes widened in surprise, her grip on his hand tightening slightly. "What do you mean?” Her voice was fragile and shaky.Denver took a deep breath, raw hurt glittered in his deep blue eyes. "My father was involved in some illegal financial activities within the company. He manipulated reports and documents, bribing workers to make it seem like everything was legitimate. But it wasn't."Ariadne's brow furrowed in confusion. "But how does that relate to Molly's father?"Denver's eyes clung to hers, his gaze never wavering. "Molly's father was the company's financial officer. He was responsible for reviewing financial documents, including the ones my father manipulated. He had no idea what was going on, but when the plot failed, my father made him a scapegoat."Ariadne's eyes widened in shock, she surveyed him kindly to be sure he didn't break down. “So, you’re saying Molly's father went to prison for something he didn't do?"Denve

For some odd reasons, Denver felt his body stiffen at this sight before him and his heart knotted in his chest. He felt restless and irritable, irked by the public display of youthful exuberance before him but he remained there, hardening his gaze on them.He couldn’t explain neither the complicated emotions welling up within him nor the strange contrition he felt in the pit of his stomach.After a while, his vexation got a better part of him and he immediately kicked the car into live and drove away without so much as taking a backward glance again.Arthur smiled to himself at his meticulous planning. At the beginning, he was willing to wait, wait till whenever she would be willing to accept him. But lately, he found her spending more time with another man whom he learnt to be called Denver.From their features, Arthur could pick out that Denver was at least more than five years older than Ariadne and after his investigation, he discovered that D

The classroom door swung open, and Ariadne stepped out with a wide grin on her face. She swung her arms sideways as she hip hopped along the classroom corridor, allowing the feeling of relief and accomplishment wash over her.It seemed to have just dawned on her that she had just finished her very first semester exams. She let out a delighted sigh, her eyes sparkling with happiness."Wow, that's it, huh? First semester, done!" Katniss exclaimed, mirroring Ariadne's enthusiasm while tugging at her sleeve excitedly. Ariadne nodded vigorously. "Can you believe it? It feels like just yesterday we were getting lost on the campus trying to find our classrooms."Vanessa laughed. "True! And now here we are, seasoned university students who've survived their first round of exams." Tilting her head to one side, she stole a slanted look at Ariadne.Connie joined in the laughter. "And not just survived, but conquered! I mean, we've all been studying

“No… I….. uhh,” he began. “Wait… what are you talking about? What do you mean by how do I know? And what is the vice chancellor supposed to tell Caspian? Did anything happen to you?” He added almost immediately, pulling the car to a stop by the roadside before turning to face her. “Did you have trouble at school?”Ariadne realized that he wasn’t here for this issue, but it was already late! She gritted her teeth in fright and panicked, while contemplating on what to do now.“You better start spilling the details now! Fast!! Before I put a call to Caspian so he will fish out that information himself!”Ariadne cast a cold glance at Denver and she thought she detected laughter in those deep blue eyes of his.‘Why mention Caspian again now?’She hated it anytime Denver threatened her with Caspian. Telling things to Caspian is far worse than broadcasting her information. She thought that he was such a tattletale. Moreover, Denver men
