Piccolo tasted sweet, but I didn't get a chance to taste the sweetness of love. I felt like I was a bitter black coffee, while Ariel was a sweet piccolo I often gazed at her, counting down the days until she t Damon. The city Summit would start at 10:30 am, and Ariel, working as a part-ti usher, would wait at the entrance. When Damon walked in, he would see her and get hit by Cupid's arrow "Ariel, are you interested in other part-ti jobs? I can introduce you to a tutoring job. It starts tomorrow, and the pay is decent, I casually asked while she was cleaning the table next to . Ariel gave a grateful smile but declined, "Eliana, I appreciate your concern, but school term is starting soon and I have this usher job to finish. Then I need to return to school for registration." I was taken aback. I forgot she was about to go to school. I was too late. Maybe if I had asked earlier, I could have prevented her from eting Damon. But maybe it was fate, and I couldn't stop it from happening again and again... "No problem, it just crossed my mind," I said, taking another sip of my coffee. "So, you're quitting this job too?" "Yes, I won't have ti once school term starts." Ariel looked around, seemingly reluctant to leave. Then she gave a bright smile, "Eliaña, I'll miss you." I felt awkward. Ariel would probably avoid if she knew everything. When more custors ca in, Ariel went to serve them. I breathed out a sigh of relief, paid my bill, and left. I wouldn't have to co back to this budget coffee shop ever again. The wheels of fate were turning. Watching everything unfold again wasn't easier than reliving my past life. I realized from Jones's incident how powerful the butterfly effect was. I knew changes were coming, and I had to face them.
These days, with our parents at ho, Damon ca ho every day for lunch and dinner, and we slept together. Unlike his calm deanor, I was increasingly restless.
"What ti are you going to the summit tomorrow?" I asked. "Eight o'clock." Damon had his eyes closed and responded faintly. "Can you bring family mbers?" I wanted to see the legendary scene for myself because Damon and Ariel's love story had been circulating online for a long ti during my past life. Damon glanced at , his eyes filled with mockery. "Family? You?" I blinked. "Legally, yes." Of course, business summits could be attended with partners or assistants. Many entrepreneurs attended with their spouses. Moreover, given my father's status, it wouldn't be odd if I attended. But Damon didn't think so. He scoffed, "You're over thinking." I turned to face him, staring at his side profile. His profile was very defined and exquisite, especially where his nose bridge and brow bone t. It was perfect. It was funny how such a handso and wealthy man ended up being attracted to an ordinary girl. It was like the story of Cinderella and the Prince. "If you won't take , I'll ask your dad to. He'll wonder why you're not taking and might think you're not treating well," I threatened. As expected, this worked. But Damon's gaze had turned cold. "Get up at eight tomorrow. I won't wait for you if you're even a minute late." "Okay, I'll get up at 7:30. I need to put on so makeup." I grinned at him. I had even thought about learning more about Damon and Ariel's story. If I ever divorced him, I could write a book about their love story as his ex-wife. I bet a lot of people would be interested. I'd make a pretty penny out of it. Totally worth it. The next day, I got up on ti, put on light makeup, wore a more formal outfit, and headed out with Damon. When we arrived at the Conference Hall, I could see several beautiful ushers standing on both sides of the open doorway. Ariel was one of them, standing out in her dress. Damon unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, seemingly not noticing Ariel yet. "You go ahead, I need to touch up my makeup," I suddenly said. In my past life, Ariel knew Damon was married but had never t or had any interaction. I decided not to reveal my relationship with Damon yet in this life. Damon ignored and walked away. I watched him through the car window as he walked towards the entrance. Finally, he reached Ariel. I couldn't see his face as his back was towards , but I could clearly see him pause, seemingly taking in the sight of the pretty young girl. My heart dropped at that mont. It hurt, but I accepted reality. Even if Damon was attracted to Ariel, he wouldn't act on it in front of so many people. It wasn't the right place or ti, so he quickly entered the venue. After he disappeared, I got out of the car and walked into the hall.. Seeing , Ariel looked surprised but quickly recovered and greeted softly, "Eliana." I gave her a smile but didn't say much before finding my seat. Damon was already seated in the front row, talking to the person in charge of the summit. My seat was next to Damon's. As I approached, I overheard the last sentence the man said, "Alright, I'll give you her phone number." He then glanced at awkwardly before quickly getting up and leaving. "He's got better taste than Jade," I remarked. Damon glanced at , looking more annoyed than ever. He probably had Ariel on his mind and didn't want to hear talking He didn't want to hear it, but I had to say it anyway, "Last ti, Jade sat next to for ages without recognizing , like I was a freaking ghost or sothing* "That's pretty usual," Damon replied casually. "You an it's usual for her not to recognize , or for to be like a ghost?" I asked, curious. Damon didn't say anything else, just watching Ariel walk towards us from afar, with a gleam in his eyes that I'd never seen before. I knew that look well, because that's how he looked the first ti I saw him. However, Ariel's eyes were all on , totally ignoring Damon, and that made content
I'm starting to believe that Ariel is really into Joshua. She refused Damon in my past life out of her true feelings. Otherwise, how could she not notice the guy beside , who is cold.
