The secretary nodded and said, "Madam Jones came early in the morning."
Daisy could not accept Arya, but she must take Ryan back to the Jones Family.
Knowing that Xavier disagreed, Daisy argued with him.
Arya naturally knew who the secretary was talking about.
It was not a good chance to interrupt them.
She smiled dryly, "I'll come back next time." After a pause, she said to the secretary, "Don't tell him I've been here."
The secretary hesitated for a moment, thinking that Jacob was so respectful to her, then nodded. "Okay."
Then Arya turned and left.
Even if she did not hear their conversation, Arya knew why Xavier was so angry.
Walking out of the building and standing on the side of the road, facing the sunlight, Arya was a little confused, not knowing whether what she had done was right or wrong.
If Daisy never accepted her, there would be no future for Xavier and her.
After all, it was his family. It had been a long time...
Arya rubbed her eyebrows.
"Miss...Miss Harrison?" Orlando had the documents in his hand. Xavier handled all the important matters of the company since Arya disappeared.
Orlando came here today to report his work.
When seeing Arya from afar, he thought he was dazzled and called out.
Seeing that it was Orlando, Arya looked back. "Why are you here?"
Orlando walked towards her. "You're not here. A lot of things in the company are handled by Mr. Jones. I'm here to report on the progress of the project in Clearwater Bay. Where have you been for so long? We all feel worried for you."
Arya nodded. "Something happened, but it's okay now."
She said no more about what happened in the past two months.
Orlando nodded. "When are you going back to the company?"
"I still have something to do. Just a few days." She had to arrange something for the Swift Family first.
"Okay, call me when you get back," Orlando said.
Arya agreed, but when Orlando was leaving, she stopped him. "Wait."
Orlando turned and looked at her inquiringly.
"Maybe you can go to find Mr. Jones another day," Arya said.
Orlando thought for a moment. "It's not urgent anyway."
"If you're not busy, come with me."
"Not busy," Orlando replied.
"Okay."
Arya asked him to go to Aqua Village with her.
She knew how important it was to redeem the boat for Mr. Swift.
Orlando had always been a very observant person.
He just followed Arya.
When Arya came back from Aqua Village, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Where are you going? I'll take you there."
Arya thought about it. At this time, Daisy should have gone back, so she replied, "To the Jones Group."
Xavier answered, "Who knows what he did?"
He looked at Arya, saying slowly, "Why is he in such a hurry to come back?"
Arya knew that Xavier was meaning the relationship between Arya and Jasper.
She owed Jasper everything except love.
Arya did not know what she could explain to Xavier but remained silent.
Xavier glanced at her and slowly closed his eyes. After a long time, he spoke, "I'll take you back in two days."
Arya parked the car on the side of the road and thought for a moment. "It's too fast. Why don't you wait..."
It was obvious that the conversation between Daisy and him didn't go smoothly. Besides, Jasper was coming back...
Arya was very tired.
Xavier tried to say gently but his face was colder than usual, "Is it because of Jasper?"
It was because of Jasper partially.
Arya dared not to watch Xavier. "I need to tell him that. We...we have known each other for so long..."
"Enough," Xavier answered with anger. He did not want to hear what had happened between Arya and Jasper in the past.
But Arya continued and looked at him sincerely. "The relationship between Jasper and me is not the kind you think... He did care about me very much and helped me a lot. I owe him. So I have to tell him first."
Arya knew that Xavier was also very tired, asking, "If you mind..."
Before she could finish, Xavier stared at her. It was as if he was staring at some prey. As long as she said more about Jasper, he might pounce on her and tear her apart.
Facing Xavier's eyes, Arya kept silent.
"Don't let me hear it again."
