Chapter 95 Have You Ever Done Anything for Me?

Chapter 95 Have You Ever Done Anything for Me?

Elsie's anxious heart finally settled down.

Walking out of the Morgan Group's entrance.

Sunlight fell on the tip of her nose, and she felt that everything in the world was so beautiful.

Even when the annoying Chris talked to her, she was willing to chat a bit more.

Seeing Elsie so happy, Chris's smile grew wider.

Only Arabella beside them grew increasingly gloomy. She hadn't been seen smiling since the meeting ended.

Otto had other matters to attend to, so he asked Rhett to see the guests downstairs.

Everyone seemed to be in good spirits.

Daniel still gave Otto the new contract terms, and Otto promised financial cooperation with the Diaz Group on this project.

Chris had been right that day in the lobby - it wasn't a win-win, but a win-win-win.

"Daniel, I didn't screw you over this time."

Chris put on that carefree attitude again, draping his arm around Daniel's shoulder and winking:

"Don't you think we're better suited to be friends rather than rivals? Fate got us mixed up. With our chemistry, you still picked up on my hints."

If other major families in Emerald City saw this scene, they'd be shocked. How did these sworn enemies suddenly become so close?

Daniel didn't respond, but allowed Chris to hang on his shoulder, which in a way was a form of acknowledgment.

Seeing Daniel ignore him, Chris turned his head toward Elsie: "Elsie, what do you think?"

How would I know?

Elsie rolled her eyes internally, but thinking about it, Chris had put in some effort, and those hints Chris mentioned were a kind of goodwill.

Their relationship had eased somewhat - she couldn't offend him.

"If Mr. Diaz could be less calculating and more sincere, I think there's a lot of potential for future cooperation."

Saying this, she realized she might not have the right to say such things. She glanced at Daniel, and after confirming he wasn't angry, quickly added: "I mean to emphasize sincerity, nothing else. I'm not qualified to discuss cooperation with Mr. Diaz."

"Daniel, your people are so smooth with words, it's an art form."

Chris praised with a laugh.

Arabella, beside them, had a dark expression and rolled her eyes disdainfully.

What smooth words - when a woman has captured a man's heart, everything she says is right, everything she does is art.

She hated Elsie even more.

Chris didn't notice Arabella's expression at all, or rather, hadn't looked at Arabella once from start to finish. Despite being closest to Arabella, he now moved in front of Elsie:

"Then let me be sincere one more time."

Chris dropped his playful expression and stood before Elsie, saying earnestly, "Elsie, would you be willing to work at my Diaz Group?"

"Setting aside that I like you and want to see you every day, I appreciate your abilities and courage even more. I believe if you came to the Diaz Group, it would be good for all of us."

Classic Chris - poaching employees right in front of their boss.

Daniel stopped walking and looked at Chris seriously, realizing Chris's expression was genuine. His eyes darkened, and he glanced at Elsie intentionally or not.

Elsie panicked. What does this mean?

Chris, did you really consider my feelings?

Poaching people right in front of Daniel - how am I supposed to explain this to him later?

Daniel will definitely think I secretly colluded with you during this cooperation to sell company secrets.

"You don't need to look at Daniel's face. Just make your choice, I'll handle everything else."

Chris added.

"Chris! Have you considered my feelings at all!"

Arabella, who hadn't spoken, suddenly screamed like she'd gone mad!

In an instant, tears streamed down Arabella's face as she stared at Chris and Elsie.

Flames of anger and jealousy seemed ready to consume them both.

Seeing this, Daniel moved half a step in front of Elsie, quietly and instinctively.

Elsie didn't notice this detail - she was also startled by Arabella's outburst.

Chris was stunned, then fell silent.

"Chris, say something!"

"What did I do wrong? How have I wronged you? Why do you ignore me like this!"

"Confessing to another woman right in front of me - what did I do wrong for you to hurt me like this?"

"You think I wanted this? I didn't want to be bound by family either. I wanted freedom too, but I tried, tried so hard to adapt to you. I fell in love with you... hopelessly in love with you."

"Have you ever done even the slightest thing for me? Even just looked at me properly? You studied finance - I'm bad at math, but I gritted my teeth and finished all the finance textbooks. You like modern art - I studied philosophy, but turned around and started studying art and painting. You like rock music - I love classical music so much, but for you, I was willing to listen..."

"I became exactly what you liked for you. Have you done even the tiniest thing for me? Even just smiled once?"

Arabella cried her heart out.

Years of pent-up emotions completely exploded in this moment.

Chris's expression was complicated, but he remained silent. Seeing this, Rhett walked over to Arabella to comfort her quietly.

In this situation, only Rhett, who'd grown up playing with them, was suitable to comfort her.

"You're no good either. You ignore me and gang up with others to bully me."

Arabella attacked indiscriminately, including Rhett.

Rhett was stunned. How could an innocent man like him understand a woman's delicate feelings? He just saw Arabella, who was like a sister to him, crying sadly, and as a younger brother, he should comfort her.

As for Arabella and Chris, Rhett had heard some rumors, but since it was the Diaz family's business, he hadn't gotten involved.

Soon, under Rhett's consolation, Arabella's crying gradually subsided.

"Done venting?"

Chris, who had been silent, spoke up.

Arabella's eyes were red and swollen as she shifted her gaze elsewhere.

"It's not embarrassing. If you have emotions, you should let them out. What's the point of holding them in? With the Pearl family here... and the Diaz family, no one here dares laugh at you."

When Chris mentioned the Pearl family, he added the Diaz family afterward.

Arabella's eyes lit up, but she quickly understood that Chris meant the Diaz family, not himself. Their two families had intermarried for generations and were related. If something happened to Arabella, the Diaz family naturally wouldn't stand by.

But this one sentence rekindled hope in the despairing Arabella.

"Don't go back to the Pearl Villa this afternoon. Stay for dinner. My aunt was asking about you a couple of days ago. Let's go see her together - she was fondest of you when you were little."

Chris said gently.

The two families had intermarried for generations. Chris's uncle had married Arabella's aunt.

Arabella nodded.

She got in the car with Chris and sat in the back seat.

"I won't sit where that woman sat!"

Chris was helpless. He'd just told Elsie that no one in Emerald City could make him be a driver, and now...

Whatever.

Elsie watched them leave.

The car had just started when the rear window rolled down.

Arabella's face appeared. She stared at Elsie like a venomous snake.

Suddenly, she smiled cruelly.

The window rolled back up.
