Chapter 91: I Will Call You When I Need It
Arianna was mad at him and felt a sudden rise in her blood pressure. She blushed and said, “Yes, I asked for it every time. I took the initiative to provoke you, so you can’t make a false apology because we are even. But please promise me to stay out of my business in the future. It would be best if you remembered that I am the granddaughter of your greatest enemy. If you have to put your nose on my thing, I will not care if you get a sudden cerebral hemorrhage because of a rise in your blood pressure!”
Travis went soft a little bit and said, “Arianna, we are not kindergarten children. Why should we not quarrel like this without logic? Okay, I’ll take back my words just now. You know clearly, everything I do is just to compensate for your loss. Why do you deliberately distort my kindness?”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“I don’t need your kindness at all. You always said that my family deserved everything. Why do you need to do compensation for me?”
“Yes, I still think so. Your family owed me. The only thing that makes me uneasy is that I shouldn’t have brought you into this chaos. If I had a chance, I would have chosen to avoid you. Although I am not a good person, I am not willing to hurt the innocent.”
“You don’t have to be upset. I am a member of the sinner family. I deserved what I got as a member of my family. Isn’t this what you said before? And I asked for it too! Because I took the initiative to run in front of you and provoke you repeatedly. How can you forget what you just said in a blink of an eye?”
Travis stood up for a moment and then sat down again, with the look of controlling himself to the extreme.
“Arianna, you have enough reason to hate me. I don’t expect you to really let it go, but I really hope that you will have a good life in the future.”
“Thank you. No need.”
“Arianna, I don’t want to be nostalgic, but today, you make me recall the moment I first met you. I should take all the blame for shaping you into this character, so I feel very sorry. I really hope you can restore your old self, even if you don’t appreciate it.”
Until a long time later, when Arianna recalled this conversation again, she was still skeptical that at that moment, her mind was replaced by another soul deep in her heart. For the past many years, she had never been out of control like this day. She had always been best at wrapping her emotions into shackles and blocking the prying of outsiders.
In the foreseeable future, she would never let anyone have a chance to face her ignorance and ecstasy. Such a private emotion should only belong to her, hidden in the deepest and darkest corner of her heart.
Meanwhile, at that moment, when she thought she was insulted and abused, she was still able to calm down. But when the man gave her the best kindness, she trampled this kindness deliberately. This was the most erratic thing she had ever done in her life.
But at the time, she was not so rational, so introspective and restrained. She said to him coldly, “Let everything go back to normal? Are you going to introduce a famous doctor to me and repair or renovate some part of my body so that we can pretend you have never touched me?”
Travis finally ran out of patience. He regained a cold look and said, “If you feel it is necessary, be my guest.”
“Thank you in advance then. I will call you when I need it.” Arianna stood up, but she completely forgot why she came here as if she had come here only to quarrel with Travis.
She hurried forward a few steps, intended to open the door and go out. But Ryan was outside. At this time, she must be looking really ugly. She would not like Ryan to see that look of her.
There just happened to be a special direct elevator inside Travis’s office. Arianna did not care if she was rude or not anymore. She just pressed the button and wished the elevator door would open quickly.
After a while, the elevator door opened, and she was about to walk in. But Travis suddenly raised his voice and shouted, “Don’t take that elevator!”
Arianna would not care about him. She just began walking into the elevator. Suddenly, Travis rushed to her side, grabbing her arm and trying to pull her back.
She used all of her strength to get rid of his grasp and was pushed back by the counterforce. She just retreated into the elevator and almost hit the elevator wall.
Arianna quickly pressed the ground floor button, but Travis held the elevator door open for the last few seconds before it closed, then he squeezed in from the gap of the door.
As the elevator door closed silently, the elevator descended quickly and smoothly.
Arianna was alerted, “What do you want to do?”
“This elevator will fail when it descends, and it has not been repaired yet,” Travis said with a tone like talking about the weather.
Despite Travis’s serious look, Arianna certainly didn’t believe it. She only stared at the LCD number and ignored the man standing a meter away from her.
The elevator slowly descended, the 14th floor… the 11th floor, the 10th floor… Everything was good in the beginning, but it got jammed when it reached the ninth floor.
Arianna was stunned. She pressed the door button, but there was no response. Then she pressed the call button again, and the elevator slid down for a while and then suddenly stopped again, which scared the hell out of her.
She turned her head angrily and screamed at Travis, “What the hell did you do?”
“I didn’t do anything.” Travis showed his empty hands to her to prove himself innocent, “I reminded you. Now you believe me?”
“What the hell is wrong with you? Why didn’t you lock the elevator if it didn’t work?” The situation was like pouring oil on a fire. Arianna was outraged.
“This is a dedicated elevator that goes straight to my office. Except for the top floor, every other floor requires a password. And today is the weekend, and no one is at work. I don’t see any need to lock it.”
“You knew it wouldn’t work, and you still got it?”
