Chapter 13 Curiosity Can Be Dangerousl Kalebs voice stayed steady . The Cooley Group doesnt need a jerk like you as a partner . Luke , I suggest you promptly pay the money to the Cooley Groups account as Ms. Muellers compensation for emotional distress . I assume you dont want to receive a legal notice from the Cooley Group , right ? Luke had to accept it . Okay , Ill pay . He left , his head bowed , looking utterly defeated . Ariella stared at Kaleb , feeling thankful . When she used to attend banquets with Jovan as his wife , she often encountered rude people . Some would tease her , and others would even harass her .. She stood up for herself and ended up embarrassing those people , but surprisingly , Jovan actually criticized her for it . Didnt you realize that was a business partner of my company ? Whats the big deal if they say something negative about you ? Theyre not going to do anything about it . Why stir up trouble for everyone ? You should apologize . By the way , if you hadnt dressed so revealingly , do you think he would have reacted that way ? Maybe you should just stay home and stop causing problems for me ! These words kept replaying in her mind . They even made her question herself . Was she truly wrong ? But today , she realized she wasnt wrong . No matter her outfit , defending herself was the right thing to do ! Kaleb saw her expression and dismissed Luke . He asked gently , Are you okay ? Im fine , Ariella replied , regaining her composure . Cooley , thank you . She spoke cautiously , He is a business partner , right ? If you need me to …. Kalebs face showed no emotion as he walked to the golf course . Ariella rushed to follow . She couldnt see his face but heard his deep and forceful voice . When he harassed you , he disrespected the Cooley Group . Losing that partner is good for us . As for you … He paused , then went on . Since you work for the Cooley Group , Ive got your back for sure . Plus , standing up for yourself is always the way to go , and I really respect that kind of bravery . Ariella was stunned . She had expected to be criticized for being naive . 13:01 3 % < Chapter 13 Curiosity Can Be Dangerou Unexpectedly , she felt secure . It was only then that she realized what a mistake it was to trust Jovan . ***** < Chapter 13 Curiosity Can Be Dangerou Chapter 13 Curiosity Can Be Dangerous2 74286 Kaleb noticed she hadnt followed , so he paused , furrowed his brow , and looked back to find her standing there , looking stunned with red , teary eyes . He was also briefly stunned . Then , he softened his tone . I mean , we all kind of represent the Cooley Group when were out there . We cant let anyone mess with the companys reputation or show it any disrespect . I understand , Ariellas voice was shaky . When she was with Jovan , if anyone had stood up for her against those who humiliated her , she wouldnt have become so sensitive and overthinking , nearly depressed several times . Thank you , Mr. I know what to do now . Since she wasnt at fault , she didnt need to fear anyone . As she spoke , she shook the clothes in her hand . Cooley , your jacket . Kaleb took a quick look at her outfit and said , You can keep it for now . Ariella clutched his jacket , feeling a bit lost . Kaleb seemed to realize something . Oh , you mean its inconvenient ? Right , youve got to play . Just wrap it around you or something . Ariellas eyes brightened , and she quickly tied the jacket around her waist . Kalebs jacket was large , reaching her calves . Cooley , thank you , Ill wash and return it soon . Kaleb was about to say Its fine , but the words stuck in his throat , and he only nodded with a Mm , waving to Matthew to play . Gerald and Jovan arrived at the golf course . With clear intentions , they skipped the lounge and went straight to the field . Hey , isnt that Ariella ? Gerald widened his eyes , surprised by Ariellas good golfing . Jovan looked in the direction of his finger . Ariella stood on the green , showing off her good figure . The sunlight made her look soft and glowing . She turned a bit , her eyes very focused and determined . After aiming , she swung smoothly . Right away , the ball flew in a perfect curve . Jovan felt his breath stop . He felt a quick heart flutter . Since Ariella got married to him , she had gradually stopped hanging out with friends and doing other social stuff . He knew she did well in college and won awards at the national competitions . He hadnt really cared . 13:01 6.5 % < Chapter 13 Curiosity Can Be Dangerou … 253033 875 Chapter 13 Curiosity Can Be Dangerous3 So after years , this was the first time he found her so impressive . Gerald couldnt help but say . Ariella is totally a pro at golfing . Wow , what a hit ! Ariella probably didnt notice it herself . To everyone else , she looked like a bright star , shining her own light . After being amazed , Gerald felt regret . If I had known Ariella was this good , I should have brought her to the last talk with Mr. Gilmore … As he spoke , he realized something . Jovan , do you think Ariella knows you lost the project and came to help you get it back ? Look , Ariella is talking to Mr. She might be asking for us . Gilmore seems interested . Theres a chance … Jovans eyes went all soft as he gazed at Ariella . He figured Ariella knew she was in the wrong , but she just couldnt bring herself to say sorry straight out . So , she was making an effort to help him sort out the issue , hoping it would get him to start opening up . Jovan reckoned Ariella had gotten a lot sharper . He looked at the bag in his hand , which had a valuable diamond necklace . When Matthew came to sign the contract , he would give her the necklace . She had wanted it for a long time . Shed be absolutely thrilled . As for Sarah , he thought it would be enough if Ariella just apologized . The four of them who played ball were sweaty but had a nice chat . Matthew smiled , Mr. Cooley , we lost . I accept it . Given your wrist injury , Ill add an extra percentage of the profit for you . Kalebs face didnt change . Matthew glanced at Ariella , who was wiping sweat . Cooley , she strikes me as familiar , and her name rings a bell . Perhaps Ive met her before , but it just slipped my mind . Kalebs look cooled slightly . Youve talked a lot recently . Matthew touched his nose . Just wondering . Curiosity can be dangerous , Kaleb cautioned . Okay , forget I asked , Matthew was cheerful from playing golf and didnt mind the interruption . As the four were leaving , they saw Jovan waiting nearby . 6.7 % < Chapter 13 Curiosity Can Be Dangerou … Ariella looked at Jovan and Gerald across from her , her eyes calm , and walked past Jovan without reaction . 签到 得 適 市 Chapter 14 You basty Disgust 1st !
