Ariel couldn’t understand Jayson’s reasoning, but she pressed her lips together. “Sorry, that’s a different matter. And besides, that’s not my home.”

They had been living apart for so long. What was the point of asking her to go back?

Her answer didn’t surprise him. If anything, he took it calmly. “Alright, then I’ll come to your place.”

Ariel’s gaze turned cold. What was wrong with him?

Jayson lowered his eyes, his thumb brushing the wedding ring on his finger. “Grandma came by yesterday. She noticed there’s no sign of you living with me anymore. I didn’t know how to explain it.”

The movement drew Ariel’s attention to his hand. The ring was still there. It seemed like he had no plans to take it off.

But that wasn’t the point. She looked at him steadily, her expression unchanged. “Mr. Larkin, I’m here to talk business. Whether it’s your place or mine, my answer is the same. No.”

When she drew the line, she wouldn’t budge. Jayson knew this well.

He didn’t press. He never liked forcing her anyway. “Fine.”

“And the deal?”

“I’ll negotiate with them.”

That went smoother than she expected. Ariel thought it was odd. She had been ready for Jayson to give

“Just like that?” A little spark of excitement broke through inside her.

His lips tilted in a smirk. “Well, do you want to start from the top again?”

Absolutely not.

Ariel rose to her feet without hesitation.

“Thank you. I won’t disturb you any longer. No need to walk me out.” She didn’t linger a second longer. With Jayson’s unexpected agreement in hand, she left right away without a flicker of hesitation.

Of course, Jayson noticed.

He stood at the doorway for a long moment, then lowered his gaze to the ring on his finger before pulling out his phone and calling Arthur.

But since it was something that could push Croínia forward, she couldn’t help but feel pleased, it also meant her own research projects would run more smoothly.

In a good mood, she even felt like cooking, On her way home that evening, she picked up fresh fruit and vegetables.

When she got upstairs, she noticed signs that someone had moved in across the hall. There were new scuff marks by the door, along with some unopened boxes.

The upscale apartment she lived in wasn’t small. The building had two units per floor. For as long as she had been here, the one across from her had always been empty, (2)

She gave it only a glance before unlocking her own door.

The moment she stepped inside, her phone rang.

It was a call from Carlos, informing her that he had spoken with Gary and her political review would be put on a fast track. He also told her she would be allowed to make an exception and start work early.

This was good news.

Before hanging up, Carlos added, “Jayson’s an interesting guy. He’s full of surprises.”

He had caught wind of the SX alloy matter.

Jayson was now highly praised in government circles. Among the younger generation, only he and Ariel

stood out.
