reunions
All eyes watched as Ariesta entered the area of the square. Her outfit is cool branded and high-class grooming.
No, she's not a celebrity.
She was just an employee at one of the property companies.
Lameness hung over her as he strode at the restaurant father had shown her.
She has to go there tonight, after work. Her father would introduce her to her future husband, after her previous marriage was over.
Oh, my god, dad.
But it was only a month ago from the judge knocking the hammer that attested to her farewell with Abraham. Now her father has made up mind to introduce her to another man.
Honestly, she doesn't know Abraham. It was Ariesta's first mistake. The second mistake was letting her family rule her life. The third mistake was not heeding the feeling.
She had such an instinct from the beginning that Abraham doesn't like women, but he continued to progress because he was a clergyman's son with a good religious upbringing, and he couldn't have been gay.
And to make matters worse, he already has a child overseas, adopted with his boyfriend. Their marriage was just a cover to cover his sexual status.
It's not that Ariesta hates the others, but Abraham's insufferable lie.
No wonder Abraham hasn't touched her yet. When Ariesta's asked him to fuck, he avoided her. There is a reason for that, Ariesta's was so insecure and spent tens of millions on treatments.
So she and Abraham split up nicely according to the planned scenario, on behalf of that man's family.
And it turns out that even if the love between the two has not grown, every divorce has brought some pain.
Even for a tough woman like Ariesta's, Inevitable feelings of abandonment when she's officially divorced.
She's handicapped…
She didn't want it badly.
No one loved her fiercely And the label 'people used' already drew on her.
Now her father insists on introducing her to another man.
Ariesta decided to come to honor the invitation. But the plan is, later she will tell him that she is not interested in a relationship.
As the footsteps start closing in on the restaurant, her mind begins to go back in time. Maybe there's a benefit to her getting divorced. The fact that she was not a virgin before the divorce, right after college, would break her parents' hearts if she was discovered. At least now she was no longer a virgin because of her widowed status.
Ariesta's is in front of the restaurant. Her parents didn't know she was a frequent customer of this restaurant, where she spent time in the chaotic world with tea, music, sweet snacks, and good online games. Even when she was on the job, she and her office Pal, she used to run away from the office and bring work here, work from the restaurant till night.
Now her best friend has moved on to another business tycoon to be married to her office partner, and Ariesta's is all alone. And the other thing that her parents don't know is that one owner in this restaurant is their own son. Ariesta's first big brother chose to run away from home as she avoided strife within the family.
Forget it, just play it cool, the 27-year-old woman thought.
"oh, sister! "Asked the manager, a big, happy white woman.
She certainly knows Ariesta's. The restaurant is her second office. In fact, he really knows one of the owners here.
"Yes, madam Carol's!" They hug.
"It's been a long time since she came here! Last come here with a guy." Ariesta sighed.
"My ex-husband. We just got divorced. "She smiled sourly as he gazed at madam Carol's. The manager's eyes grew.
"Oh god Ariesta's, I'm so sorry to hear that. May all proceedings be unleashed by the almighty... No wonder Ariesta is so thin!"
"Ah... Thank you, Mam."
"Don't worry, honey, you'll get another one! Sister Ariesta is so beautiful, she can do better!" Carol's mom rubbed her back.
"Wish me the best of luck, Mam, this is also the way I want you to meet another 'other man' Any reservation for Mr. Malik Collison?"
"There in the orchid room! There are four people already coming. That tall handsome man must be the one to introduce Ariesta!"
"Handsome?"
"Very handsome! Better looking than your ex."
"Ugh, remember your husband, miss carol!" MiAriesta laughed. Then he went to the orchid room praying silently.
"Excuse me..." greeted Ariesta softly with a smile to decorate her beautiful face. She shifted the orchid's room door to get in.
But her smile disappeared at the sight of the person in front of her. She was surprised by Edzar, her boss, in front of her. Ariesta has been working under it for five years
And what's even more surprising is the guy next to Edzar.
Oh my god… Ariesta thinking.
Why is that man here?
Arista knew karma was coming. Or destiny.
Or payback for a fatal error he committed 10 years ago.
***
Ten years ago, Ariesta was 17 years old. Recently graduated from college, recently removed her toga, had just been crowned on summa cumlaude, and had just received an award from the ministry of education as the youngest graduate in her university.
Genius, beautiful, yet… destitute.
father's business had just gone bankrupt, her house had been seized by a bank, a 1-month detention. and they still didn't know where to live after this.
So, before graduation, Ariesta mustered up the courage to meet the most popular girl in college. For wanted to find a job, but he introduced her to a website. The auction of virginity.
Private and highly classified. She said the, Its customers are conglomerates and dignitaries from around the world. Ariesta can get 50% of the auction price.
And Ariesta's virginity is 15 billion.
And right now, in front of her, the man next to Edzar...
Ariesta really remembers her figure.
How she could forget.
The first time with men was intimate, so sick, yet so beautiful.
It's the buyer's virginity.
Edzar's father...
Ariesta adara is a beautiful princess with a unique face. It stands at 170cm, the figure most women dream of, weighing just 48kg this month due to post-traumatic stress. Her exotic yellow skin has become even paler since he's been living like a vampire for months. Sunscreen. It still hums from its thick lips.
The job is technically and according to the contract is the chief staff of the eastern stake operations manager at the Tarso Property. But every day he kept her employer's work schedule, as well as her contract deal. She's not a secretary. Her boss, Edzar Michael Ballmer, has 3 secretaries and all men, to manage his paperwork and work schedule, and yet he still relies on ariesta for small things.
Today, Edzar, the 34-year-old man stopped his step by seeing an eerie figure standing in the middle of the room with his arms crossed, and it looked out at the giant window in front of him.
My God! Thought the guy was about to hop.
It's been three days since they met after the meeting at the restaurant, and today he saw that woman is so haunted.
Edzar was hesitant to approach, but he had to go that way to his corner office. Finally not knowing what to do, Edzar turned around and decided to have breakfast while the office was packed. On the way back, he saw Dean, his co-worker, the operational manager at the west end of the Tarso Property, exiting his office at the other end of the hall and walking towards Ariesta.
"Desperate measures" Edzar muttered. He did not have time to warn the man because of his position behind Ariesta, but with steady steps, he made his approach to her.
"Ariesta, if Edzar comes, tell him..."
"Edzar's here. He's hiding behind the wall." Cut Ariesta while pointing at Edzar with his chin.
Fuck! How did she know where she was?
Dean smirked.
"You do this so he doesn't come close," Dean said.
"What am I supposed to look like?" her once terse.
Dean raised his eyebrows.
Ariesta's moment of fury is the moment others turn from. And yet Dean approached.
The man looked at Edzar, who had earlier marked him with a cross across the chest with his arms, entitled: get out of there!
Yet Dean refused to heed. "Do you have anything to tell me? Edzar and I are all ears."
"The problem with Edzar" is looking at Edzar now smirking at the two of them.
To be continued.
