Ariel was now at the boutique waiting for the manger immediately he got out she went to greet him the manager is a pot bellied man probably in his sixties he was wearing a black suit and the buttons of the suit were lose
"Good day sir"
"Oh how are you Ariel ?" the manager said looking confused
"I'm fine sir"
"I hope there's no problem"
"There is actually sir, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience" she said almost shedding tears
"It's okay no problem tell me what is wrong"
She explained everything to him bit by bit and that she needed any help he'll offer her
"Ariel I am more than willing to help you"
"Thank you so much sir God bless you"
"But you have to use what you have to get what you need" the manager said looking at her and licking his lips
"I don't get you sir"
"Aww nothing comes for free my dear I can't give you so much money and get nothing back"
"I still don't get it sir could you please explain better" she said looking confused
"It's easy if you want the money then give your body"
"What!!!" she almost screamed
"Yes you heard me right are you ready or not?" he said smirking
"I came here for help I didn't expect you to be so disgusting, you want to take advantage of me because I asked you for help" she said standing up
"Your choice my dear, if you truly need help you will do what I say"
"No never I don't want your help"
"Well then get out or I call the security I don't want to see you here ever again"
Ariel rushed outside to get some fresh air "Mr Bai how could you I didn't expect this" it was too much for her she decided to go to her only uncle who is her father's brother but he didn't show up when it all happened.

"Tristan it's been so long and you still look as handsome as ever" Noah said walking into the bar
"Oh stop flattering me you look dashing as well"
"Merci beaucoup" they both chuckled
"This way" the waiter showed them to their table
"so why are you back all of the sudden" Tristan asked
"Aren't you happy I'm back.... haha just joking"
"Of course I'm happy I was just asking"
"Well my one of my clients wanted to meet here and after the meeting I decided to come and visit you"
"Oh great then"
"So what have you been up to lately" Noah asked after a minute
"Work and more work"
Noah laughed at his statement "Would you ever get married"
"Hmm... that is one of my problems i never thought it would become one until now"
"Wait what" Noah asked
"Well mom and dad are asking me for grandkids indirectly asking me to get married" Noah laughed at what he said
"Okay so what is the laugh for"
"You know with your looks and money it shouldn't be hard to get a girl, any girl would want you"
"I'm willing to try for mom and dad anyways how is Lisa?"
"She is in the past now"
"How come you guys were so close"
"Yes but she cheated on me with her ex so I had no choice but to let go"
"It must have been very bad"
"Oh no it was all getting boring anyways"
"For real that is the problem of having so many girlfriends" Tristan laughed
"haha.... it's not that bad"
"When are you going back"
"The day after tomorrow" he said with a small pout
"Im already missing you" Tristan said looking at his watch " we can still meet up before you go Its already so late we have to go now" they both walked out of the bar
after the long drive they finally got to Tristan's house
"Okay we meet later man good night"
...
Leah's house
Ever since that day she had been in touch with Ariel they even collected each other's number but she didn't see Ariel at work for some days so she decided to call
"Hello"
"Oh hii Ariel I hope all is well I've not seen you at work for some days so I decided to call"
She wanted to talk but she decided against it "Oh there's nothing wrong I was just a little bit indisposed"
"Oh okay get well soon"
"Thank you for calling"
"Oh no problem"
"Bye"
As soon as Leah ended the call another call came in she frowned when she saw the caller ID
"Did she give any reason for not coming" the person on the other line spoke
"No she was just indisposed that's all"
"Its taking too long and I'm losing my patience!!"
"Its not my fault please"
"Get the job done!" the next thing she heard was a beep
"Oh God what have I gotten myself into" she said as she cried bitterly
..........
As soon as Ariel dropped Leah's call another call entered it was from Blossom
"Ari what's happening you didn't even call me I tried calling you but your phone was either busy or unreachable"
"Bloss I'm really sorry I have been really busy and i couldn't call sorry bestie"
"Its okay, how about we meet and talk at your favorite cafe" Blossom suggested
"Okay what time"
"Anytime"
"Okay we'll see tomorrow then"
"Good night"
