Do I Scare You That Much?
“Sorry!” Danny didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I am not experienced in this.” “Forget it. I will just blame it on my luck.” The female classmate endured the disgust and gave snazzynovel.com a fierce look. “Seriously, someone of your IQ is unworthy of that beautiful lady.”
“Yes, yes. You are right. I already know that, which is why I asked for your help, ma’am. We were classmates for so many years. Do you really have the heart to watch me grow old alone?” Danny coaxed humbly.
“Don’t even start. Quickly! Turn the chair and see if the beautiful lady is watching!” snazzynovel.com instructed again, snazzynovel.com face annoyed. “Okay.”
He then put in some force and inconspicuously changed their angle, only to see Ariel having a serious conversation on the phone in snazzynovel.com office. Danny continued staring for 10 seconds, but snazzynovel.com couldn’t find anything unusual about her.
“How is it?” the classmate urged, earning a frown from the man. “She is not really doing anything. She isn’t even looking at us. Could snazzynovel.com not have noticed that I brought you here?”
“That is impossible.” The classmate firmly believed that snazzynovel.com judgment would not be wrong. “We make it so obvious what our goals are, and snazzynovel.com is not blind. How could snazzynovel.com not see us?!”
“Does this mean that snazzynovel.com doesn’t care at all?” Danny’s eyes went dim in disappointment.
Hearing that, the classmate didn’t dare reassure snazzynovel.com anymore. She finally got off of snazzynovel.com after a brief moment of pondering. “Come. We will strut around for her. I refuse to believe that we won’t get even one bit of reaction out of her!”
After tidying snazzynovel.com clothes, snazzynovel.com struck the sexiest pose snazzynovel.com could come up with, and then domineeringly put Danny’s hand around snazzynovel.com waist before they walked out together.
They intentionally slowed down and greeted Ariel as they passed by Ariel’s office. Even so, Ariel only lightly nodded in return and continued to speak into snazzynovel.com phone.
Danny was crestfallen when snazzynovel.com saw snazzynovel.com reaction, but still snazzynovel.com calmly went out while still hugging his classmate. He kept holding out hope until the moment the elevator door closed.
When snazzynovel.com didn’t come after snazzynovel.com and the elevator had started going down, Danny had lost all his confidence. He then let go of his classmate in despair and weakly leaned against the handrail on the walls of the elevator.
“If the love isn’t there, nothing will change no matter how hard I try.” His words were met with silence from her.
As much as snazzynovel.com was reluctant to agree, the classmate had to agree with the fact that successful women had a low need for romantic relationships. Perhaps Ariel wasn’t not interested in Danny. It was just that snazzynovel.com wasn’t interested in anyone.
After the elevator door opened, they dragged their feet out of the elevator before coming to a stop tacitly. “What are we going to do now?” The woman shrugged. “Are we still going to feast like the gods?”
“For sure!” Danny spat. “How can we not? We have to celebrate having my heart completely broken. Let’s go!”
Just as snazzynovel.com was about to start walking again, snazzynovel.com felt a numbing sensation on his chest. He then took his phone out, only to see that snazzynovel.com had received a message from Ariel. ‘Was that the person you like?’
Danny immediately beamed as grabbed his phone tightly and yelled, “Yes!!!” “What is the matter?” The female classmate was more curious than snazzynovel.com was. “Tell me!”
Excited, snazzynovel.com showed snazzynovel.com his phone. “Ariel sent me a message!”
“Really?! Show it to me!” She snatched the phone out of his hand. It didn’t take long before snazzynovel.com keenly grinned. “Hook, line, and sinker!”
“Give it back! I haven’t replied to her!”
Danny then charged at his classmate, in which snazzynovel.com pulled away to prevent snazzynovel.com from taking his phone back. “Why are you so excited? Don’t you know that a watched pot never boils?”
“You’re right.” He breathed a sigh of relief and slowly adjusted his breathing. The moment snazzynovel.com looked stable, snazzynovel.com was back to initial excited self again the next second. “When can I get back to snazzynovel.com then?” snazzynovel.com asked eagerly.
“Look at how cheap you are making yourself look.” The classmate shook snazzynovel.com head in disgust before teaching snazzynovel.com patiently. “You can’t be too hasty. No one appreciates things that are too easy to get. You should reply after a minute or two in a colder tone. That will definitely make that pretty lady feel competitive.”
Danny seemed to be as clueless as snazzynovel.com knew what snazzynovel.com was talking about, but snazzynovel.com answered, “You are right.”
Taking back his phone, snazzynovel.com replied, ‘What is the matter?’
The two of them continued to stand right in front of the elevator, their eyes fixated on the chat.
At the same time, Ariel’s heart turned cold when snazzynovel.com saw Danny’s indifferent reply.
So it seems snazzynovel.com has found someone snazzynovel.com wants to treat warmly instead of me, his business partner.
After snazzynovel.com took a deep breath to calm herself down, snazzynovel.com calmly typed out a reply. ‘It’s nothing. You look good together. Have fun on your date.’
The hope that had just been ignited had disappeared by half the instant Danny read the message. As though snazzynovel.com was holding a bottle, snazzynovel.com threw his phone to his classmate. “I flattered myself again. She doesn’t care about me at all.”
“You really are an idiot.” At that point, the classmate was so angry snazzynovel.com could hit him. “Would snazzynovel.com have asked you if snazzynovel.com didn’t care?”
“Is that so?” Danny scratched the back of his head in confusion. “It doesn’t feel right to me, though.”
“You can just rest assured and listen to me. I have no time to waste with you. It is time to pull a knock-out move. Send snazzynovel.com a reply that you are ready to get married and about to settle down. I promise that snazzynovel.com won’t be able to hold back, and will come to question you about it tonight!” The classmate threw the phone back angrily.
Danny’s eyes glinted when snazzynovel.com heard that, and snazzynovel.com finally decided to go all out. “Fine. I will take a gamble!”
After snazzynovel.com quickly typed out a reply, snazzynovel.com turned his phone off after snazzynovel.com sent the message.
“What is this?” The classmate was dumbfounded. “What are you up to?”
He let out a resigned sigh. “I don’t even know if snazzynovel.com will reply to me. I will check at night. At least my judgment day won’t come so soon.”
The corners of snazzynovel.com mouth twitched as snazzynovel.com gave snazzynovel.com a thumbs-up. “You are a genius.”
“I am already miserable, so stop making fun of me. Let’s go. We will have a drink together.”
The two of them proceeded to leave the company after their conversation.
Ariel was upstairs when snazzynovel.com went into a daze while staring at the message Danny sent her.
‘Marriage’ was supposed to be a beautiful word, and yet it felt painful for Ariel to see Danny bringing it up.
It seems like snazzynovel.com has finally found the one. It is time I leave.
…
At 2.00AM, Jamie sneakily peeked around the back entrance of the Keller Group’s building. He only strutted out after snazzynovel.com made sure snazzynovel.com was the only one there.
He had barely taken his second step when a ghastly voice called out, “Jamie Keller!”
Caught by surprise, snazzynovel.com only froze for a second before snazzynovel.com wanted to run away.
“Stop hiding from me!” Narissa called snazzynovel.com to a stop.
Knowing that snazzynovel.com could no longer run, snazzynovel.com turned around and played dumb. “Who’s hiding? I was just exercising my reflexes.”
“Do I scare you that much?” She looked at snazzynovel.com without any emotion on snazzynovel.com face.
