Chapter 525: A date

...

After a call that lasted for over twenty minutes, Aaliya placed the phone back on the table as she asked, "There. I did what you asked. Happy now?"

Over the call, she had talked about being fooled and how someone cheated her and said that it was his individual research that he wanted to conduct in her company because of lack of funds. Throughout the explanation, she placed herself as the victim of cheating. 

In that way, she protected herself and her company's reputation because it was bad if someone called her company thieves of research that belonged to others. 

"Leave now," she told Ryder after she finished up. 

"Yeah. I'm not willing to stay here for longer than I have to anyway," Ryder answered as he stood up. 

"But keep in mind. Things have ended here. Don't bring trouble to yourself again. Let bygones be bygones," he added before he turned back and departed from this place.
