Denver paced back and forth as his fingers tapped impatiently on his phone screen.“Snubbing huh?”His fingers trembled slightly as he dialed Ariadne's phone number for what felt like the hundredth time. Each ring felt like an eternity, stretching on without response. “Come on, Aria," he muttered under his breath, frustration evident in his voice. "Answer the damn phone."He sighed in frustration and continued pacing restlessly across his room. ‘Why wasn't she answering? What happened?’He picked up his phone again and scrolled through to check his text messages, realizing he had sent her a handful of messages over the past few days, but there was no response. It was as if his words had vanished into the void, leaving him in a state of disarray.Restlessness gnawed at him, and he began to stump his feet harder on the tiled floor with a growing sense of unease settling in the pit of his stomach.He re

Denver's patience was wearing thin, but he held back, letting the proceedings unfold. He watched as the accusations flew.After what felt like an eternity, Denver finally rose to his feet, the room falling silent as all eyes turned to him. "Thank you for your concerns. Of course, I will provide you an explanation, I wouldn’t let you lose money”He paused for a moment, his gaze remained steady as he locked his gaze on Jonathan Houston for a few moments before straying his eyes to the other directors who had aligned themselves against him. "I have carefully reviewed the accusations against me, and I assure you that the company's financial stability has always been my utmost priority."Biting his lips, he continued. “As we all know, Dreams Corporation entrusted with this project which entails ensuring an upgrade of their network systems. “We looked into the problem and discovered that their users were facing issues such as buffering downloads and ch

Denver’s car pulled up in front of the planetarium. As the engine purred to a stop, Denver turned to Ariadne with a grin."Here we are," he said, his eyes feasting his eyes on her.Ariadne's heart was filled with glee as she looked out at the grand dome of the planetarium. Denver stepped out of the car and held the door for him. She also stepped down and trailed him as he began matching towards the entrance. She could hardly contain her excitement and almost stumbled over a sharp stone while walking.The glass doors opened with a soft whoosh, revealing an interior that was equally captivating. Ariadne's eyes widened as she took in the shimmering model of the solar system hanging from the ceiling, planets suspended in mid-air as if defying gravity.“Wow… this is beautiful” she exclaimed. Denver's voice pulled her attention away from the mesmerizing display. "Shall we explore?"Ariadne nodded eagerly, her heart racing as they vent

———-Back in her dorm———She stood in the middle of the space, clenching her fists tightly and a fire burning in her eyes. The events of the evening had left her with an unexplainable anger, and a storm of emotions swirled within her.The memory of Denver's calm demeanor while speaking to Molly on the phone earlier gnawed at her. It felt like a sharp sting that she couldn't shake off.She punched her fists in the air in frustration, in a motion to release the anger she felt within her. The thought of all this made her chest heavy. The sound of her breaths echoed in the room, with each exhale releasing some of the pent-up emotions threatening to consume her."Ugh, seriously?" she muttered to herself, frustration evident in her voice. "Why can't things just be straightforward?"She had listened in on their conversation and heard her asking him to come pick her up from the bar. And the lack of explanation from Denver only helped in fueling her anger‘What kind of promise did he make to he

‘Is this really a coincidence or was it planned?’Ariadne was shocked and in disbelief. ‘Did Denver actually give both Molly and I necklaces of the same design? What does he mean by this?’Denver stood there with a stern face. He coldly swept a glance at the woman standing before them and when his eyes shifted down to notice the necklace on her neck, his face twitched.‘Is he looking at me like that because he is thrilled to see me here? Or is that shock on his face? Wait… he seems to be looking somewhere else. My neck. The necklace. Is he angry because I’m wearing this necklace too? If Ariadne can wear it, why can’t I?’ Molly looked hurt and bit her lower lip. After a while, she recollected herself and marched forward till she was standing face to face with Ariadne, “Hi. Nice to meet you again. Didn’t expect to see you here”Before Ariadne could retract her gaze and figure out how to reply, Denver’s hand crawled into her palms, squeezing her gently in a reassuring manner.‘What? Is i
