Arlo Seys was silent for a mont, then, with a hoarse voice, he spoke, "Ariel Morris, don’t leave my side anymore. Stay with , and I can take care of you. But if you leave quietly, I can’t find you, and you won’t live as well as I’d imagine, which would only hurt . Stay with for a lifeti, Ariel. I will work hard for you, create a space where you can be as headstrong as you want. I only need you to smile, be happy, that’s all."
Ariel’s eyes misted over, she pouted at Arlo Seys, "You’re getting better at sweet-talking! I’m not going anywhere now, just staying by your side, being Mrs. Seys for life, a lazy bum forever! You’ll take care of forever!"
Arlo Seys chuckled softly, and kissed her forehead gently, "Alright, I’ll take care of you."
"So, Mr. Seys, what mistake did your wife make today? Was there an issue with the translated docunt?"
When this topic was brought up, Arlo Seys’s lips curled into a slight smile as he handed the docunt to her, Ariel casually opened it to check.
"...Can soone tell what happened!! Ah!!" Ariel’s scream pierced the quiet of the office.
The docunt in her hand was filled with page after page of her own handwriting, repeatedly writing ’Arlo’!
Page after page!
What did that an? An entire page filled with the na Arlo!
Ariel’s face turned beet red all of a sudden!
She finally understood the undefined looks the departnt managers gave her after the eting, including Callan Walkers’s wickedly teasing glance!
Ariel felt she really lost face this ti, like it dropped all the way to Pacific Place! Probably after today, everyone at Era will be gossiping that Secretary Morris secretly loves the CEO, confessing on the CEO’s eting docunt, writing page after page of the CEO’s na!
Is it still possible for her to resign now?
Is it still possible for her to leave Era now?
It’s so embarrassing!
Arlo Seys looked at her face, blushing like a tomato, and with calm, gentle eyes, smiling faintly, he teased, "So, Mrs. Seys didn’t translate the docunt properly and didn’t finish her work because she missed her husband too much. Mrs. Seys, your husband is just a door away, you can co in and see anyti."
Ariel was made even more embarrassed by Arlo Seys calling her ’Mrs. Seys’ repeatedly and his teasing words, smiling eyes; she glanced at him warmly, "Who’s missing you, I’m just—I was just... practicing writing!"
Arlo Seys laughed lightly, "Practicing writing? Filled a whole page with my na? Earlier when Callan shared the docunt with the departnt supervisors, the expressions on their faces were wonderfully varied, while I sat at the head of the table, and their eyes turned to , the ssage in their eyes was truly—"
Arlo Seys pressed his lips, smiling, "This is probably the ti since Era was established that I’ve lost face the most in front of the employees. Mrs. Seys, how do you think you should compensate ?"
Ariel sat in Arlo Seys’s embrace, imagining the scene of the cool and aloof Arlo sitting there with employees during the eting, suddenly having all the employees looking at him with teasing eyes. She smiled deeply, feeling delighted.
"And you still have the nerve to laugh! Mrs. Seys, let’s discuss compensation." Arlo Seys whispered in Ariel’s ear.
His voice was deep and magnetic, warm and pleasant, with a warm breath caressing Ariel’s ear, making her cheeks burn crimson. She looked at Arlo Seys, her eyes twinkling mischievously, raising her brows, "You want compensation, Mr. Seys?"
Arlo Seys nodded surely; how could he miss such a good opportunity for negotiation?
Ariel smiled, then lowered her head and lightly pecked on Arlo Seys’s thin lips, smirking, "Well, Mr. Seys, is this compensation satisfactory?"
