After all , she and Igor would both benefit from Arlanas marriage to Brian to Ariana raised her eyebrow and smiled when she saw how anxious Gwen seemed to be .
Yes .
Really ? Thats awesome ! Gwen exclaimed .

She continued , I knew it ! I knew that Mr.
Lodge still had feelings for you .
Otherwise , hed never have asked you out on a date ! Ms.
Lambert , I think youre mistaken .
Mr.
Lodge met with one to discuss canceling the engagement .
Then … Under Gwens shaky eyes , Ariana punctuated each word she said next .
The wedding is off .
What ? Its off ? Gwen nearly fainted when she heard what Ariana said .
Igor hurried forward to hold Gwen up .
Then , he yelled at Ariana , Ariana , youre going overboard ! How could you make your own decision about canceling the engagement without talking to us ? Do you even care about us ? Its my engagement , so of course Im the one calling the shots .
Theres no need for me to discuss it with you .
From today onward , I will be taking over the companys operations .
Ms.
Lambert , since Lodge Co.
has withdrawn their funding , you dont have to worry about it anymore .
Anyone could hear the smile in Arianas voice .
Gwen was so mad that she could barely speak .
What on earth had happened to Arlana ? Since it was the first time Ariana ever showed her face at Torrey Co.
, she became the main focus of everyones attention at the company that day .
Ariana rarely ever went to the company .
Gwen usually got the manager , John Wagner , to see to the companys operations on a daily basis .
At that moment , John hurried up to Ariana and said , Ms.
Torrey , why did you personally come over ? You can just call me up if theres anything you need to know .
Youre Mr.
Wagner , the manager ? Thats me .
Ms.
Torrey , how may I help you this time ? Ariana looked at John .
His looks werent too bad as he seemed to be almost in his 40s .
He didnt look too old for his age .
However , he had a greasy look every time he smiled .
In her past life , Ariana had left the company to run under Givens and Igors care , but the company went bankrupt in less than three years .
She recalled that Gwen and John had siphoned money from the company before disappearing .
Obviously , there was something going on between Gwen and John .
Ariana said , Bring me all the companys accounts and financial reports for the past few months , 1/2 +26 BONUS Chapter 1 Um … Ms.
Torrey , I dont think youll understand them .
You can just ask me if theres anything you want to know .
John kept finding excuses not to show them to her , so she knew that something had to be wrong with them .
Still , she wasnt in a hurry to continue asking about them .
Instead , she changed the topic and said , How have the companys projects been going ? Oh , its not going too well , John said with a sigh .
Torrey Co.
has been facing a lot of hardships from our suppliers ever since Lodge Co.
withdrew their resources .
Things have been pretty bad ! Didnt Lodge Co.
only just withdraw yesterday ? Ms.
Torrey , youre still young , so its normal that you dont understand how these things work .
Perhaps youd like to rest in the break room for a bit ? It was obvious that John was acting perfunctorily with Ariana .
Although Lodge Co.s withdrawal was a huge deal , it still wasnt going to cause Torrey Co.
to face bankruptcy .
John was just exaggerating things .
He was probably doing so just to help Gwen convince Ariana to get back on to Brians good side again .
At that moment , the secretary , Miranda Ziegler , ran in .
She was holding a stack of documents in her hands .
When John saw her , he immediately stopped her and said , Cant you see that Ms.
Torrey is here ? Give me that ! And you may leave now !!! Ariana frowned when she saw the stack of documents .
Hold on .
