Dead at Heart novel

Chapter 148 Freya debated for a bit before snapping off a small piece of a palmier and handing it to Perry . " I'll give you this much . You can just have a taste . Ms. Walker has made them specially for me . " Perry was rendered speechless as he looked at the tiny piece of palmier on his palm . Matt and the others came back fairly quickly . Nancy walked over while checking the photos on Matt's camera . A faint smile played on her lips . Jayson noticed Renee was missing . He asked , " Where's Renee ? " Freya answered immediately , " She went back to the lounge .

She got upset for some reason just now . I'm not even sure what I've said that ticked her off , though . " Jayson did not think much of it . " Hmm ... Don't mind her . She's been spoiled rotten . " After hearing Freya's explanation , Matt suddenly recalled the post she had shared on her social media account the other day . He sat down next to Freya and poured her a drink . Then , Matt probed , " Tell me , Freya . You posted about your brother and a lady the other day . Who's that lady ? " Perry's eyes hardened . Nancy subconsciously looked toward Perry .

She couldn't help but wonder why Perry had not told them anything if he was really seeing someone . She had asked him about it , but Perry never gave her any clear answers . Jayson slowly turned his gaze toward Perry . Curiosity gleamed in his eyes . Freya instinctively stole a glance at Perry . In truth , Perry had told her that he and Ariel were not in that kind of relationship . Moreover , Ariel would not want others to misunderstand their relationship . So , Perry had reminded her not to make any hasty comments about him and Ariel .

Freya blinked a few times and said , " She's just a random lady we met the other day . She's not really someone special . " " How boring ... " Matt responded in disappointment . Nancy's brows lifted . She knew Perry would not keep something like that to himself . " I could still recall how your brother was smiling so brightly at that person in the photo . " Jayson unbuttoned the first few buttons on his jacket as he made that remark . There was a moment of awkward silence . It took Perry some time to come up with an ambiguous response . " Well , it's probably because she's really pretty .

" Everyone was looking at him this time . Their expressions were all different . Nancy's gaze fell on Perry . She had never heard Perry praising any other woman except for her . 1 1/3 Chapter 148 +25 BONUS After enjoying a week - long break , Ariel went back to work . She reckoned they needed to run some of the tests again for several data compiled for certain projects managed by her ever since joining Faye Tech . Hence , any plans to attract investments for those projects would have to be postponed accordingly .

At the same time , they had to make sure to execute other ongoing projects in a timely manner . On Wednesday , Faye Tech received an invitation to attend the launch of a new material hosted by Vireon Technologies . As Faye Tech's technical shareholder , Ariel joined Chad in attending the event . They might consider using the material in Faye Tech's drone production process if the new material produced by Vireon Technologies demonstrated a lot of potential . Upon reaching Vireon Technologies ' building , Ariel suddenly received a call from Betty . She glanced at Chad .

" Chad , you should head in first . " Chad nodded . A staff member showed him into the venue . Ariel answered the phone . Betty sounded like she was in a really good mood . " Ari , have you started working already ? " " Yes , Grandma . Is something the matter ? " " There is something I need to talk to you about . Do you realize that it'll be Valentine's Day soon ? " Ariel paused momentarily . " No , I haven't . " After all , she had never celebrated Valentine's Day before . Betty responded instantly , " You shouldn't be spending all your time working .

Haven't you or Jayson made any plans for that day ? " " No. " " That won't do ! Valentine's Day is such a wonderful day . You shouldn't just treat it like any other day . If you two haven't made any plans , I'll do it for you ! " Betty was displeased with Jayson's indifference and insensitivity . She decided to give him an earful later . Ariel dropped her gaze . A small frown creased her forehead . She had a weary look in her eyes . Ariel felt extremely frustrated . She was troubled by the fact that Jayson was still keeping his family in the dark about their divorce .

Betty did not say much after that . She gave a final reminder . " You should continue with your work , then . Leave all the planning to me ! " She did not even allow Ariel a chance to say anything as she hung up right away . Ariel frowned and stood in the same spot . While she was considering what to do , a car pulled up in the distance . 2/3 Chapter 148 +25 BONUS Ariel recognized the car plate number and the car's model . Jayson's tall form came into sight the next instant . His gaze drifted toward Ariel for a few seconds . Then , he looked away indifferently .

He moved to the other side of the car to open the door . Nancy put her hand on Jayson's arm and got out of the car elegantly . Several top executives working for Vireon Technologies came out to greet the pair . The group of them were about to move past Ariel and enter the building . Jayson showed no intention of greeting Ariel . Just as he and Nancy were about to walk past her , Ariel pursed her lips and called out right away , " Jayson , I need to ask you something . Can you spare me a few minutes ? "
