Chapter 941 Fate or Faked Encounters?

Clara lay sideways on the seat in a seductive posture. While propping her chin, she leered in the direction between Danny’s legs. Mixed feelings tumbled in his gaze. Apart from shock and ire, the surge of emotions was mainly fueled by his helplessness on how to confront Ariel.

“Scram!” he roared as his eyes reddened. “Get outta my sight at this instant!” It was Clara’s first time watching his vehement self, and the bold woman did not have the nerve to smile either. Quickly, she picked up and put on the clothes from the floor before making herself scarce.

Meanwhile, he propped himself up to get dressed. He then flopped on the chair abruptly, staring at the ceiling with hollow eyes.

Time ticked past, but there was no sight of Danny and so Ariel looked for him. When the door was suddenly opened, he was so scared that he jolted on his spot with widened eyes.

She flashed a pristine smile. “Did you do something bad behind my back? Why are you so jumpy?” “I did not!” He protested aloud.

“Gosh.” She patted her chest. “So what if you didn’t? Can’t you handle a joke?” Noticing something was off from his expression, she hurriedly placed the back of her hand on his forehead. “Why are you sweating buckets?”

“Nothing.” A guilty Danny removed her hand and squeezed out of the car through the crevice beside her. “Just feeling kinda under the weather. Enjoy your time with Rylantha. I’ll get going for now.”

Ariel intended to return together to tend to him, but he did not give her the chance to speak as he left immediately without looking back.

She stood at the same spot, watching his figure concernedly. Looks like we need a talk.

…

Since Rylantha was still waiting in the room, Ariel had no choice but to return to the room alone. Yet, she bumped into an acquaintance when she came out of the elevator.

“Ariel, what a coincidence,” greeted Maverick.

Right when she parted her lips, Rylantha came out of the room. Now that the duo encountered each other, she gladly scurried to them. “You’re here. Allow me to introduce you guys. This is Mav—”

“It’s fine. We know each other.” His affectionate gaze landed upon Ariel.

‘We know each other’?

Rylantha alternated her gaze between them before comprehending the situation. “That settles, then. Ariel, didn’t you say you need investors? Maverick is my uncle, and he’s looking for a project. Tell him the details. It might be a win-win for you guys.”

“I do have the intention to invest in Ariel’s company in Cittadel, but she went MIA, and I had to search for her. Thank God, luck is on my side. It must be fate that led us to another encounter.” He did not mask the affection he had for Ariel at all, for his gaze was glued on her.

Rylantha could not smother the grin on her face. Like what the youngsters say—looks like the ship is sailing!

To make hay while the sun was shining, she needed not to stay further as the third wheeler. After escorting them into the room, she excused herself to leave some space for the duo.

Once the door was closed, Maverick broke the silence. “I never expect to meet you again this way. Even fate is on my side. Ariel, we’re destined to be together.”

“Whether it is fate or you and Rylantha’s intention, you know it very well.” Even a dunce could see that Rylantha was setting them up, let alone Ariel.

“Nothing can ever escape from your sight, huh?” He chuckled. “But none of these is important. The point is that everyone thinks we’re the perfect match. Ariel, just give me one more chance.”

“What’s the difference? After so many years, you’re the only one I care for.”

“Do you believe what you’re saying right now?” She sneered. “Stop joking. I can talk business with you but never about others.”

“You just leave me helpless as always.” He sighed before hinting at something. “Where’s your little boyfriend? Talking about business, he should be the one seeing me personally. Don’t tell me he’s having a date with another girl?”

“Don’t encompass every man to your kind. He’s not feeling well. I’ll arrange a meeting for the both of you when the time is right.” Ariel had total faith in Danny.

“Okay. So, mind having dinner with me?” As the investor, he was willing to do anything with her because of the return he would gain in the future.

“No.” She rose from her seat while holding her bag. “You said it for yourself that we can’t talk business since Danny’s not here. Let’s talk when he’s around. Goodbye.”

With that being said, she pulled the chair and took her leave. Maverick smiled bitterly and began to dig in.

Rylantha stormed into the room soon after. “What happened? Why did she leave after a few minutes? Man, seriously?”

“Cool that hot head of yours.” He cut the steak before him into pieces seriously. “If I could make her fall for me back then, the same thing is bound to happen. If you have doubts about my capability, you wouldn’t have come to me, would you?”

She snickered. “Anyone can say flattering words, but I only look at the results. If you don’t win her heart in one month, I’m gonna replace you with someone else. When that time comes, don’t you dare lay a finger on my family’s resources.”

With that, she left the room. The corner of Maverick’s lips curled upward, but an icy pall shrouded his gaze. After cutting the meat into pieces, he took a bite of the tenderest piece. The flavor of premium meat filled his mouth to the brim as he shut his eyes in contentment.

This is it. I will always have the best food and person.

…

In Room No. 401 in Wegas, a man’s croaky yet dominant voice filled the air. “From today onwards, no more motorcycling for you. Behave and stay in the hospital until the day you get back on your feet. Don’t go anywhere. And you guys, keep an eye on her, or you’re fired the moment you lose sight of her.”

“Yes, sir!”

Amidst the thunderous response, Napoleon left the patient’s room with a grim face. Over ten bodyguards scattered among the four floors, securing the place without leaving any corner unguarded.

It was a treatment for a sin equivalent to a serious offense. However, how could Narissa possibly stay put when there were merely scrapes on her after the chiropractic therapy?

Not even ten minutes had passed, and she was already standing by the door.

“It’s not easy to get a job nowadays, Miss Narissa. Please do not make things difficult for us.”
