"I'm heading over to the hall now. Would you like to join me?" Perry decided to invite Ariel to come along after hesitating for a moment.Ariel paused briefly. Since the shuttle bus that Perry arranged for had arrived, Ariel went ahead and accepted his offer."Sure." She boarded the bus first.Perry noticed that Ariel had been looking at her phone after she got on the bus.After a moment's consideration, he chose to sit in the row behind Ariel instead of next to her.He knew Ariel was mindful of her personal space. Perry didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable in any way.Ariel knew it would take several minutes for them to reach the place where the hall was.She glanced over her shoulder at Perry and asked, "Do you mind me asking if Mr. Spencer has already started working at the hospital?"Perry hadn't expected Ariel to initiate the conversation first.He paused for a few seconds. Then, Perry gave a slight cough and nodded. "He's probably already started working there. You

Ariel dropped her gaze and sipped on the soda water. She acted as though she was just listening to some strangers' love story.Janice snickered upon learning the truth. "Mr. Larkin is such a great man. For the sake of one person, he's making everyone else drink non-alcoholic drinks as well."Tom hadn't noticed the underlying meaning behind Janice's words. He thought she only meant it as a joke.Tom grinned. "Mr. Larkin is really thoughtful when it comes to Ms. Stanton's affairs. I hope you guys won't mind this arrangement. Drinking is quite harmful to a person's health, after all. Isn't it fine if we just skip the drinks for today?"Tom continued, "Ms. Stanton has been extremely busy. She has to handle a lot of things on the Veyo Solutions' side. At the same time, she's been trying to make time to offer her support and expertise for an independent project that Nexura Solutions has launched."She's smart and hardworking. Naturally, Mr. Larkin must be worried about Ms. Stanton's con

When Janice referred to her as the boss' wife, Ariel couldn't help but silently applaud Jayson for including that clause in the divorce agreement about keeping their marriage under wraps.That clause really paid off in moments like this."She probably acted like that because Faye Tech did play Veyo Solutions a little dirty," Ariel said calmly.After all, it wasn't her pride that got bruised in all of this.Chad glanced over at Jayson. Nancy was clinging to his arm now, all smiles like nothing had happened. Clearly, she had been coaxed back into a good mood."Jayson probably thought you were targeting his precious sweetheart on purpose," Chad said.Ariel noticed it too. Nancy was laughing with Matt now.She looked away. "That's his problem. If he wants to come at me for Nancy's sake, let him. Or he can just stew in silence. Either way, it's none of my business."Chad gave her a silent thumbs-up.The celebration went on as planned.Then came the project presentation.The big s

The thought alone made Ariel frown. She hated it when people made decisions for her behind her back.She swiped her key card and was about to enter the room.Jayson, standing at his door beside her, tapped the handle lightly with his thumb, then turned to glance her way with a detached look. "Your presentation today was really good."The comment came so suddenly. Ariel's brows drew together as she turned to him.But Jayson didn't stick around to chat. After saying that, he entered his room.Ariel didn't get it. And frankly, she didn't care enough to spend any more brain power on him.She stepped into her room as well.After setting down the bouquet, she took a shower and took her daily medication right on time. But the drowsiness she expected never came.Restless, she reopened her laptop and started sorting through the outline and concept notes for the military project.By the time she checked the clock again, it was already past 11:00 pm.Ariel rubbed her neck and finally de

Now that Jayson had left, Ariel could finally relax a little. She set the towel down on a chair and slid into the water.The heat soothed her muscles, dulling the discomfort in her body.But she hadn't been in the water for more than a few seconds when Nancy's voice rang out from outside. "Jayson, is someone in there? Why'd you come out?"Jayson's reply came calm and even. "No one's in there. Let's go."Nancy said something else, but their voices faded quickly as they walked off together.Ariel rested her arms on the edge of the hot spring. She cast a glance toward the door before turning back.It seemed like Jayson and Nancy had planned to meet here.If she hadn't made a last-minute decision to come here, they probably would have had their little romantic night right here.Ariel mulled over it for a moment, then dropped the thought entirely.She absently ran her fingers across the faint scar on her lower belly.It had happened the year Lucas got into serious trouble at the c
