Chapter 425 What Did You Say to Ariel Morris?
Arlo Seys suppressed his smile, giving Callan Walkers a sidelong glance, "You’re getting even more idle! Need a transfer to the sales department? Maybe with your smooth talking, you’ll be the heartthrob over there!""..." Callan immediately straightened up, adjusted his attitude, and said very seriously, "President Seys! Can I be the heartthrob of the sixty-eighth floor?!"
"Sure," Arlo Seys replied with a faint look and an indifferent tone, "in your dreams."
Dream on about being the heartthrob of the sixty-eighth floor! If Callan Walkers becomes that, then who would his wife’s heartthrob be—Callan Walkers? Can he allow Callan that title? Naive!
Callan coughed up blood from the emotional blow, planning to leave when he heard his heartless and cold boss’s calm voice.
"Callan, get all the documents that need to be dealt with this afternoon in order. Handle the non-essential ones, the ones requiring my signature bring to my office later. I’m leaving early today."
"...BOSS, you’ve given me another piece of unfortunate news!" Callan wailed.
With most of the documents handed over to him to handle while his BOSS leaves early, as his assistant, he’d have to work overtime!!
Arlo Seys gave a cold glance.
Callan immediately stood up straight, "BOSS! I love working, work makes me happy! I want to have a love affair with work!"
Arlo Seys, with an indifferent expression, "Very well, go on, have an affair with your work! Anyway, a single dog has no one to care for at home, might as well work overtime and earn a bigger year-end bonus."
"..."
Callan turned around and left!
Arlo Seys dialed Ariel Morris’s number, but it was already turned off. Arlo Seys furrowed his brow and then dialed his mother, Veralina Quinn’s number.
"Hello, mom, which café are you and Ariel talking at? It’s two o’clock, I’ll come to take you out for lunch."
Arlo Seys had just finished speaking when a gasp from Veralina Quinn came through, "Ariel didn’t go back?"
Arlo paused for a moment, "Mom, didn’t you arrange to have a chat with Ariel? You’re not with her?"
Veralina’s voice suddenly raised, tinged with panic, "I’ve been back to the old house for over an hour! We agreed to meet at a café next to Era; Ariel should have gone back to work at Era before me!"
"I just called her and it was turned off," Arlo’s voice grew heavier, "Mom, what did you talk about?"
Veralina’s end suddenly went silent, causing Arlo’s heart to panic a bit, inexplicably alarmed.
After a dozen seconds of silence, Veralina’s voice finally sounded, "Arlo, I talked to Ariel about the fifty million from eight years ago—but Arlo, I think Ariel didn’t seem to know about the fifty million from eight years ago. She reacted intensely, spilling tea everywhere, her face was also quite upset. Arlo, could it be that..."
"Mom! Why did you bring this up to Ariel! Why did you bring up what happened eight years ago!!" Arlo’s tone increased, his internal panic becoming more and more apparent.
"Arlo, I just want Ariel and you to be well together, to not leave and cause you pain again." Veralina’s voice fell a bit.
Arlo’s voice also lowered significantly, "Mom, did you tell her about what happened after Ariel and I broke up?"
There was a gentle ’hmm’ from Veralina’s end, causing Arlo’s fingertips to tremble heavily.
"Mom, from now on, don’t mention the fifty million again, Ariel didn’t take that money, and she doesn’t know that I once used fifty million to support the Morris Family. I’ve known these truths for a long time, and I’ve kept it hidden, I didn’t expect....."
