Ariel Morris just wanted to seize this opportunity to stop Arlo Seys and talk business, but she never expected to almost cause a car accident. If Arlo Seys had turned the steering wheel a little slower, she'd be splattered with blood right there!
Thinking of that terrifying scene just now, she still hasn't recovered, and was directly yelled at by Arlo Seys walking over. Her mood couldn't be worse, her panic and fear couldn't be more intense.
Ariel Morris lowered her head, stood in place like a child who did something wrong and is getting scolded, not daring to reply.
Arlo Seys' anger climbed a few more notches; his gaze at Ariel was sharp, even murderous. His thin lips moved, his tone was cutting and full of blazing anger, "Even if I really hit you just now, it would be your own doing! You deserve it! This underground parking lot is under surveillance! You're the one who suddenly jumped out! Don't try to push the accident responsibility onto me!"
Ariel Morris pressed her lips together, slowly raised her head, her voice chaotic and helpless as she habitually called out, "Arlo Seys..."
Eight years have passed, and saying his name from her mouth stirred his heart, Arlo Seys's heart trembled fiercely. Quickly, the corner of his mouth curled into a cold sneer, sarcastically saying, "Excuse me, miss, do we know each other? Are we familiar? Familiar enough to call each other by name?"
Ariel Morris froze in place.
His words, his coldness, a single "do we know each other?" wiped out all that once was.
Turns out, meeting again is more heart-wrenching than longing.
Ariel Morris' nose felt sour, she took a deep breath, mustered the courage to swap to a safe yet respectful address, "President Seys..."
After calling out, Ariel Morris sneaked a glance at Arlo Seys' expression, seeing his face still icy cold but without visible anger, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "President Seys, may I take a few minutes of your time? I'd like to ask you to cooperate with our Morris Clan..."
Ah, President Seys!
Arlo Seys seemed to have heard a joke, a shallow smile rippled at the corners of his mouth, yet the words he uttered were utterly cold, freezing to the extreme. He yelled at Ariel Morris, "Ariel Morris! Get lost! If you dare to jump out and block my car again, I'll just run over you!"
"President Seys, please let me finish..." Ariel Morris saw him truly angry, afraid he'd turn his head and leave, hurriedly pulled out the documents from the folder and handed them over, trailed by nervousness, saying, "President Seys, this is the Morris Clan's planning proposal for this year, please have a look… Can we ask you to give Morris Clan a chance to cooperate?"
Ariel Morris finished speaking, holding the documents with both hands, stepped forward two more steps to present them.
Arlo Seys didn't even glance at the documents, coldly turned his back to her.
Ariel Morris had no choice, disregarding the awkwardness, hurriedly walked to his front, pressed her lips, softly called, "President Seys..."
Arlo Seys's anger rose a few more points each time she addressed him as President Seys, persistently suppressing it, yet Ariel Morris was particularly clueless, opening her mouth with one "President Seys", closing with another "President Seys", which was simply challenging his limits!
Arlo Seys held a cold smile, reached out to grasp Ariel Morris's chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.
Her eyes were still bright and spirited, while his eyes were deep and unfathomable.
Arlo Seys gripped her chin, speaking word by word with gritted teeth, "Ariel Morris, why are you still clinging stubbornly and shamelessly? It really makes people sick!" Then, he took the file from her hand with his other free hand, "Why should my Era Enterprise cooperate with a Morris Clan that's about to go bankrupt? Even if my money was to be burned for fun, it wouldn't be to rescue the Morris Clan! You better give up that wish early!"
