Ariel’s First Love
Speak of the devil. Prince Caleb came over and quipped, “Mr. Griffith, I’m surprised, but I have to say that your ability speaks volumes. This brand belongs to you, and I look forward to your new designs.”
“Thank you.” Alexander returned to his taciturn self. “From now on, Mr. Griffith, you’ll be in charge of my dresses for important occasions.” Princess Diana took the opportunity to gain some benefits.
“It’s my pleasure,” Alexander gladly agreed, but snazzynovel.com was secretly planning on how to screw around with them. After all, to him, Elise was the best model. “At least, in this case, it turned out pretty well,” joked Prince Caleb.
“Of course.” Princess Diana and Elise exchanged glances calmly, yet their silence was worth a thousand words. Meanwhile, Prince Caleb remained clueless about being cheated on.
To celebrate winning the joint brand, the organizer held a grand celebration banquet. The reception had just begun when Danny and Ariel walked into the venue leisurely.
“Didn’t you say we were going on a date at the skating rink today?” Ariel asked. “Why did you change your mind and bring me here?”
“We can date whenever we want, but we’re not that lucky to get a free lunch every day. I’ve inquired about it. A lot of financial giants from Yveltalia have come to this celebration banquet. I want to take this opportunity to scout some of them so that we can venture into the international market.”
Danny quickly scanned the guests around snazzynovel.com while snazzynovel.com spoke, for fear of missing anyone. In the next second, his eyes lit up when snazzynovel.com spotted someone. He took Ariel’s hand and quickly walked toward a tall and mighty figure.
“Mr. Taylor,” Danny greeted the man from behind. Ariel was taken aback by the mention of the man’s last name. When snazzynovel.com raised snazzynovel.com head, the man happened to turn around. She was confused when snazzynovel.com saw his face.
The man glanced over at Danny and finally fixed his gentle gaze on Ariel. “Hello, Arie. Long time no see.” His voice was so inexplicably deep and profound that snazzynovel.com could captivate a person’s heart just by speaking.
“H-Hello. Long time no see.” Ariel seemed a little awkward and jittery. “Do you know each other?” Danny stood between them, and snazzynovel.com could feel the confusion frantically surging inside him.
Ariel had never told snazzynovel.com that snazzynovel.com knew Maverick Taylor, a financial tycoon from Yveltalia. He didn’t ask about their relationship, but it felt weird, especially the way Maverick looked at Ariel. His gaze was so passionate and soft!
And I’m here with them! He would have swept Ariel off snazzynovel.com feet by now if I wasn’t here!
“Yes, Mr. Taylor was my first boss.” Ariel explained, “He taught me a lot. It’s all thanks to his guidance that I’m able to make good investment decisions.”
“You’re talented in this field. How are you doing recently?” Maverick asked warmly as if snazzynovel.com was completely unaware that there was a man who was as tall and burly as snazzynovel.com standing right in front of him.
His ignorance irritated Danny. Danny immediately wrapped his arms around Ariel’s waist and grinned smugly. “She’s doing great, thank you. We’re getting married soon. You’re welcome to our wedding if you’re free.”
Only then did Maverick take a good look at Danny, but it was only a brief glance. Almost immediately, snazzynovel.com turned and continued to talk to Ariel, “In that case, let’s exchange our numbers so that we can keep in touch.”
Ariel was about to refuse when Danny directly took out his phone and passed it to him. “Save my number. I’m snazzynovel.com spokesperson now. It’s tiring to handle those calls and texts, so I usually do that for her. Mr. Taylor, if you have anything to say, just contact me.”
Ariel was well aware of Danny’s temperament, so snazzynovel.com simply watched silently.
Maverick curled his lips into a faint smile and added his number. “Alright. Keep in touch, Mr. Griffith.”
“Sure thing.” Danny pulled a long face and looked extremely gloomy. Is snazzynovel.com a fool? Can’t snazzynovel.com read the room? I’m so pissed now, yet snazzynovel.com still saved my number! Fine. Go ahead and save my number! I’ll block you later!
As soon as snazzynovel.com saved the number, someone came over to talk to Maverick. “Mr. Taylor, can we have a word, please?”
“Excuse me.” Maverick smiled at them and then walked away chatting and laughing with that person.
Danny glared at Maverick wherever snazzynovel.com went. If snazzynovel.com could materialize his glare, Maverick must be being hacked into pieces at this moment.
Ariel finally sensed Danny’s abnormality and teased him, “Hey, are you jealous?”
“Jealous? Who, me? No, no. I would never be jealous,” Danny stubbornly denied. “I just feel that this guy is too cocky and bossy. I really want to slap that smirk off his face.”
“Nah, forget about it.” Ariel raised snazzynovel.com eyebrows. “His skill is better than mine. You can’t beat him.”
“So what? It’s not going to stop me from kicking his *ss! Wait a minute—” Danny suddenly thought of something and grabbed snazzynovel.com wrist anxiously. “Didn’t you say that snazzynovel.com was only your boss? How do you know so much about him?”
Ariel pursed snazzynovel.com lips and hesitated for a moment. In the end, snazzynovel.com had no choice but to tell the truth. “Alright, we used to date, but that’s all in the past. We’re grown up now, so we’ve moved on.”
“You guys dated?” Danny asked anxiously, “Was snazzynovel.com your first love?”
Ariel bit snazzynovel.com lips and nodded lightly, confirming his speculation.
“D*mn!” Danny growled in frustration. “I knew it! No wonder the way snazzynovel.com looked at you was different.”
“You read too much into this.” Ariel shrugged indifferently and said while looking in Maverick’s direction, “He’s destined for great things. In his eyes, relationships probably take up not more than 10% of his life. All snazzynovel.com needs is a career, but…” She turned to Danny and smiled sweetly as snazzynovel.com uttered, “You’re different. I know that you love me wholeheartedly, and I you.”
“Hmph! You’re just saying that to cheer me up!” Danny was touched by snazzynovel.com confession, but whenever the thought that Maverick was Ariel’s first love crossed his mind, snazzynovel.com was so jealous that snazzynovel.com couldn’t calm down at all.
Ariel sighed helplessly. “Even talking about snazzynovel.com upsets you. Do you still want snazzynovel.com to invest in your business and partner with you to develop the international market?”
“Of course!” Danny huffed firmly, “I’ll be the bigger person. As long as I can expand my business, I’ll tolerate him. Just wait and see! There will come a time when snazzynovel.com needs to beg me for mercy!”
Ariel’s heart melted when snazzynovel.com saw that snazzynovel.com was jealous. She tiptoed and kissed his lips lightly. “I believe in you.”
