Hate To Love You My Billionaire Lover

Arianna agreed with his decision and asked him when he would leave.

“When you find a suitable candidate for my position, I will formally submit my resignation. There are all kinds of ties in the company, and you are alone. You should have your own trusted follower. If you don’t have the right one yet, and if you can trust me, I can find the people for you.”

Manager Jenkins made perfect arrangements before he took his leave.

Arianna gave him a check with a considerable amount and said, “Make no mistake here, but I have no other way to express my gratitude to you. Thank you for all your efforts over the years. The company revived and came back to prosperity because of you.”

“I understand, but I shouldn’t accept it. This is what I should have done according to the contract. I have already received the reward, handsomely.” He was silent for a while, but he struggled in his heart. His slightly reddish eyes proved his emotion finally defeated reason. He said, “Before being sent to Sanchez Group, I was the manager of Mr. Cooper’s overseas company. Sorry, my experience was concealed in my resume.”

Arianna had suspected the background of Manager Jenkins before. And now, his words broke some ice in her heart.

Travis Cooper, although he died a few months ago, was now still haunting her. There was no way to hide from his energy because she could not leave this land that carried all her footprints and memories, which meant everything to her.

When autumn arrived, Arianna was invited by a school to watch the children’s National Day performances because she had donated a multimedia classroom to the school built for the mentally ill children.

The children’s performances were not good enough, sometimes awesome, but the parents in the audience shed tears and applauded. This scene reminded Arianna of her childhood.

At the end of the show, she slowly walked on the quiet campus, thinking about her childhood and youth.

“Nothing really matters in this world.” She once pitied herself, but she was extremely fortunate compared to these children. She had never lacked health and beauty. She never had IQ or money problems. In fact, she never lost anything that’s truly valuable in the eyes of normal people, even when she thought she was in the darkest hours of her life.

There had been large pieces of blank in her life. In her vague and happy childhood memory, the old nanny Winnie occupied most of her impression, and her family members were blank faces. After that phase, her life faded into a mass of deep or shallow pale gray… In a black and white world, a man’s name occupied all of her memory, the one she tried hard to forget.

Then she stopped in front of a brand-new teaching building with a unique style. And the black base stone of the building was engraved with the following line: Mr. Cooper donated XX million to build this building and planted this tree on XX(M), XX(D), XXXX(Y). The time was just two weeks before his death.

Arianna was silent again while she looked at the engraved lines. Then she took another look at the tree. Under the tree, a bunch of white chrysanthemums was placed by someone. Then Arianna took her to leave and walked toward the parking lot.

After she found her own car, she looked back cautiously. Under the blue sky, there was a security patrol on the campus, and she should be safe. But somehow, her sixth sense told her someone was stalking her from behind.

Arianna saw Ryan when she turned her head. Ryan Cooper was still dressed in black. He was not wearing a suit, though, which made him look younger and more casual. He even got the touch of looking like a kid from a certain perspective now.

Ryan twitched his lips and asked, “How are you, Miss Jenkins?”

Because of this accidental encounter, Arianna and Ryan resumed contact. They knew each other for years, but not as close as to be called friends.

Ryan preferred to keep a distance in socializing, and so did Arianna. Maybe just like Ryan once said, people with similar fates could get along well with each other. Both he and she had no more relatives in the world.

When Mr. Cooper was gone, their way of getting along was not the same as before.

Arianna confirmed her previous conjecture after she got to know Ryan better. The nature of this guy was really lively, funny, eloquent, and even vicious. For so many years working under Travis, Ryan had been suppressed and holding his true self back.

However, Ryan’s loyalty to Travis never changed. For example, once Arianna provoked Ryan, Ryan diverted the topic to his trap and said, “Now you know that Mr. Cooper is a good person, right? You must regret that you refused him before. You won’t get the luck to find another man like him.”

Arianna said, “Yeah, right. He is good, and I won’t be lucky enough to meet a second one like him. But I would’ve stuck to my choice if the Lord offered me ten more times to choose.”

Ryan got choked while drinking his water, and he said, “You are a ruthless woman. I really wonder what is good in you that made Mr. Cooper so obsessed with.”

“I don’t know either, why do you always follow me when you look at me in this way?”

Ryan often came to her and helped her a lot when she was in need. He often invited her to dinner or accompanied her in get-togethers and told others that he was Arianna’s younger brother, which was exactly like their pattern of getting along.

Previously, Arianna avoided meeting Ryan because she wanted to avoid everything related to Travis, but finally, she decided to face the music because she actually got nowhere to hide from Travis’s legacy. It’s good for a lonely woman to have a “younger brother” anyway.

It turned out Ryan was actually a professional in many fields. Once, in his house, he showed his certificates in planning, human resources, psychology, etc., to Arianna. Astounded, Arianna even found CPA and actuary certification Ryan has. However, the creepiest thing was when she saw his nursery qualification. Did Ryan once plan to work as a male nurse in a nursery or apply for a family nanny?”

“Oh, holy, I forgot to put away this one.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Did you buy this one, or is it real?”

“Of course, it’s real! Since sophomore year, I’ve been working on various certificates until last year.”
