Ken stood there frozen just like when they first met. He felt all the memories of their time together flash through his head. Suddenly he remembered the graduation and the airport scene and he immediately pushed her away.
' Ken I am so upset with you! Why didn't you come find me? But I missed you so much that I forgive you. Let's go have coffee.' Arianna says happily holding Ken's hand. By now, lots of the employees were gawking at the scene, wondering the relationship between their cold boss and the strange lady.
Ken releases his hand from hers. ' Since when did anyone get allowed into my company?' He says coldly.
' What are you saying Ken? It's me your little kitten. Are you trying to prank me because it's my birthday? Let's go catch up, it's been so long I missed you.' Arianna says pouting like a little child. ' Don't try play games Arianna. Why would I have coffee or go out with a lowly woman like you? Don't dream big and leave here immediately!' Ken says looking at her with disgust.
Arianna eyes had become watery. ' What are you saying Ken? Why are you saying all this? Is something wrong? Let's talk about it.' She says pleadingly.
' Oh please! I left for a year and you already started dating Lucian..' Ken says.
' But I never dated Lucian.' Arianna protests.
' Don't lie to me! I was there on your graduation, I saw and heard everything! Then who was the guy with you in the Christmas photo? And then you had a child for God knows who. Then what about the guy at the airport. You are nothing but a woman with a low moral conduct, you are irresponsible and forget going out with me, you don't deserve to look at me.' Ken says raising his voice.
Arianna looked at him stunned. ' How could you let anger consume your rationality? How could you forget all the time we spent together? All the memories we had together, how could you forget? Weren't we in love?' Arianna says as tears fall down her face.
' What memories? All you were was an immoral girl who kept trying to throw herself on me. I got a secretary for free. Love? Why would I love you? What's so special about you? You are nothing, stop being delusional.' Ken says.
' Y..You are an .. You are an animal.' Arianna says choking on her tears. ' Security! Throw this woman out.' Ken says.
Arianna was hurt, heartbroken, angry, sad and humiliated. The employees were given her mocking and pitying stares. She raised her hand and slapped Ken across the face.
Ken calmly took a handkerchief and wiped his face, he then took of his suit and beckoned to his assistant. ' Trash these. I can't use them anymore. They have been tainted.' Ken says.
Arianna leaves with tears all over her face. She mounted her bike and left. She threw away the wig and glasses. She drove straight to a bar. So this is what heartbreak felt like?
He just made all sorts of conclusion about her without even talking about it.
Some weeks before her graduation, Lucian had asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend in front of his ex to make her jealous. They had danced together and she had given an imposing, love-stricken speech to Savannah.
And the guy in the Christmas photo was her best friend in England Julian who was gay. Everyone knows the story with Fred Shane. She drank as tears poured down her eyes. Ashley was right, she had been wasting her time waiting for someone who didn't even trust her. She downed glass after glass trying to drown the pang in her chest. Just then a bulky man comes to her. ' Mind if I join you?' He says Looking at her with lust.
' Sorry, she's with me ' a voice says. Arianna turns to see the person.
*********************
Sage was upset. She lied about having a pass to the conference just to make Arianna feel inferior to her. But now that Raymond had placed her in a mess.
People were asking her if she had really fall in love with Raymond and if they were an item. When she said they weren't, they started asking whether she was Raymond's next target as Raymond had a playboy reputation in the college.
She then told others that they were an item but then they said is that why she and Arianna were rivals. Where they love rivals?
*********************
Arianna turned, it was Fred Shane!
' Fred?' Arianna says. The bulky man leaves them.
Fred sits next to her and takes a glass. ' I didn't expect that we would meet again in this circumstance.' Fred says chuckling.
' Unexpected things should really be on top of the list of expectation. When I woke up this morning, I didn't think I would be at a bar drinking.' Arianna says smiling at her bitter fate.
' I won't ask what happened. Let's just drink till you feel better.' Fred says.
*********************
Riona opens the door and sees a figure dressed in all black with a black helmet on the head. It was a man.
' Let him in. He's my shadow agent.' Ashley says.
The man enters and bows slightly when he sees Ashley.
' Do you know Arianna's agent?' Ashley asks.
' My Lady, it's against our code of conduct to have a friendly relationship with our colleague. But I can contact SIC.' The agent says. ' Contact SIC immediately.' Ashley replies.
The agent goes to a corner and returns some moments later.
' My Lady, SIC says we can track down her phone. I will do that immediately.' The agent says as he gets a laptop from his backpack.
' I don't understand what is going on? Who's he? How can he help us find Arianna? What's SIC?' Raymond ask confused.
' It isn't time for questions. Just trust us, we know what we are doing?' Ashley says with a tone that clearly stated to end the questions.
' She's at a junction along crescent road. She's moving, I think she's coming back.' The agent replies. Damien was trying to digest and decipher all he heard. This family was more complicated than he could imagine. Just then the doorbell rang.
Ashley opens the door and says ' Arianna! What happened to you.'
A guy enters holding Arianna who could barely stand.
