Mr Billionaire's Regret Chasing His Irresistible Wife (Jared and Arielle) novel Chapter 115

(ARIELLE'S POV)

"Goodness, why did I miss such a show?" Ashley exclaimed, her eyes dancing with amusement.

She was in my office with Rebecca, as we recounted the encounter with Sofia earlier.

"You needed to see the look on her face when she discovered Arielle was the owner of the restaurant. It was even worse than when Arielle walked in with Jared. Worst of all, Jared broke their engagement right there," Rebecca said, her voice dramatic and a little exaggerated. Being her usual chatty self, she did most of the narration.

After the encounter with Sofia, I returned to my office feeling satisfied and fulfilled. The look on her face was priceless, and I'd do anything to see that look over and over again.

Gone were the days when I was scared of her, and avoided her troubles. Now was a new era, and I'd mete out to people the same treatment they meted out to me, either in the past or now, the present.

Also, I had sent for Rebecca and Ashley because I was expecting someone –a Mr Stone's nephew, the one he recommended for the position of manager in my restaurant. I needed their help with accessing the young man to ascertain if he was good for the position and job.

It was while we waited that Rebecca brought up Sofia's matter and what went down. She and Ashley joked and made fun of Sofia while I listened in amusement until a knock sounded on the door.

"Come in," I called out.

My secretary, Laurene, entered. "Your visitor is here, Ma."

I nodded. "Send him in."

Laurene walked out and returned almost immediately with a young man. He was handsome, with a boyish charm that made him look even younger than he probably was.

His eyes were bright blue that sparkled, and he had a well-chiseled and proportioned face that was framed by a brown messy hair.

I was taken aback. Mr Stone had mentioned his nephew was experienced and mature, but the person standing before me looked like he'd just graduated from college.

"Hi, I'm Stephen Stone,'" he said, extending his hand.

I took it, still trying to mask my surprise. "Arielle Meyers. Welcome."

"I'm sure you know your reason for being here," I began.

"Sure, to be interviewed by a pretty lady for the role of a manager in her prestigious restaurant," he said, flashing me a boyish flash.

I cringed at his outspokenness, turning to Ashley and Rebecca, and they had laughter in their eyes, nudging me to go on.

"Alright. Can you introduce yourself further?"

"Sure."

As he introduced himself, I noticed the awe look in his eyes. His gaze lingered a bit too long, and I suddenly felt conscious of myself and flustered, too. But I tried to ignore it, focusing on the business at hand.
