"I'm here!"
Like a person who had seen a rescue boat in the ocean, I suddenly stood up and almost rushed out.
Aaron said he would pick me up, but I stayed and worked overtime, so I ignored him after I sent him a WhatsApp message. I was lucky that he was smart enough to find me, or I would really have been here the whole night.
Hearing the sound, Aaron came over, opened the office door and looked inside. Zoel also put down what he was doing. They looked at each other, and there was a bit of tension in the air.
"You're Arianna's boss?" Aaron raised his eyebrows with an unpleasant look on his face.
"You misunderstood. I'm just her colleague." Zoel put his hands in his pockets and looked as he usually did.
"So it's not up to you." Aaron looked away lazily and gestured outside with his chin raised. "Come on, let's go home."
Aaron was born to be a leader. Although he had not introduced himself, his arrogant attitude had shown that he was either a rich or affluent person.
All smart people knew that they should avoid his aggressive attitude.
However, there was another kind of smart person. The kind that knew how to fight back and stand for principles.
"As Arianna's family, I would be happy for her pursuing success, not dragging her down!" Zoel's voice was powerful, instantly changing the atmosphere in the office.
I held my bag in mid-air, speechless and awkward.
