2/2 Chapter 22 Ariel was standing next to Chad . They were talking about something , but anyone could tell that they both had matching scarves on them . What level of intimacy would compel two adults to wear matching scarves ? Jayson looked up and happened to see Ariel patting Chad on the back . The two of them seemed to look close . Matt chuckled coldly . " I've truly underestimated her . She has no real skills , but when it comes to hooking up with men , she's quite experienced . " Perry frowned and glanced over to Ariel . He had been at the receiving end of her cold , disgusted gaze days before . Compared to how she was looking at Chad now , it was clear that she felt differently toward him . " Wait , but how did she know Chad ? " Matt asked , perplexed . Although Faye Technologies was still in the early stages of stabilizing and developing , Chad had come from a strong background and had top - tier abilities . Logically , someone from Ariel's level shouldn't have had the opportunity to connect with him . " Jayson ?" Matt turned to Jayson . Jayson briefly glanced at his watch , seemingly uninterested . " I'll send Nancy back . " Nancy was lost in thought . יויד Jayson brought her to meet up with the big shots in the industry today , but of all people , Ariel showed up . Ariel even looked like she was close to Chad , and they happened to see them together now . Everything no longer seemed like coincidences if they happened all at once . " No wonder Mr. Hockney refused to meet me today , " Nancy said . Matt and Percy turned to look at her . " What do you mean ? " Nancy calmly replied , " Everything makes sense if Ariel and Mr. Hockney knew each other . " " Is Ariel settling personal scores ? " Matt immediately figured out what she was implying . " She has a grudge against you , and that's why she complained to Chad ? " " Is Chad the type to lose his mind over women ? " Percy asked , surprised . Nancy shook her head and replied , " It Matt Matter . My abilities will make him overlook any biases . " gave her a thumbs up . " As expected of Nancy - graceful and generous !" Jayson said nothing as he simply glanced over toward the other side . Meanwhile , Ariel didn't look back even though she felt the sharp gaze on her . Although she knew it was from Jayson , she didn't pay it any mind . She sent Chad , who had drunk some alcohol earlier , home . He waved at her before heading upstairs with the scarf still on him . " 1/2 Ariel glanced at him and made no comment . She then drove herself home . She found her current lifestyle easy and carefree . Jayson returned to their marital home at 9:30 pm . The household staff hadn't finished their shifts yet . One of them immediately stepped forward to take his coat . " Would you like me to run the bath for you , sir ? " Jayson paused , realizing that Ariel usually did these things . " Yes . " Georgia Clannad quickly headed upstairs , with him following behind . He slipped his fingers into the tie clip to loosen it . Jayson entered the bedroom , which only had a bedside lamp on . He hadn't been home these past few days . He narrowed his eyes when he saw Georgia stepping out after running the bath . " Is Ariel still not back yet ? " She was taken aback . " Mrs. Larkin ? She hasn't been back for the past few days . " Jayson frowned slightly as he tugged off his tie . He then glanced over to Ariel's vanity and asked , " Since when ? " He also pulled out his phone to send her a WhatsApp message . Georgia gave it some thought before replying , " Probably since last Tuesday . " Jayson lowered his gaze as he recalled what day it was , eventually realizing that it was the day after Nancy's birthday . Ever since , Ariel started acting differently , as if she was a completely different person . After some contemplation , he simply curled his lips and closed the chat with her , deciding not to ask any more questions . Jayson entered the bathroom and glanced at the warm bath in the bathtub . In the past , there would always be essential oils added for relaxation purposes . However , nothing was prepared today . He suddenly lost interest . Jayson's phone on the countertop happened to vibrate . He turned to leave after glancing over . Georgia asked , " Are you heading out , sir ? " Jayson was busy replying to the text as he said , " You guys can get off work now . I'll be staying somewhere else tonight . " Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
