Chapter 859 A Parting Gift

Jamie pursed his lips as he felt a little uncomfortable. “I'm not afraid, I'm just worried that you mightreplace it awkward.” “Don’t worry. I won't feel awkward anymore,” Narissa said with a bitter smile.Looking over at her, Jamie asked, “Don't tell me you're planning to sever our friendship?”

“In your dreams.” Narissa lied while forcing herself to joke with him. “I know you think I'm anuisance and want me gone. Do you think I will let that happen?”

Hearing that, Jamie relaxed his breath. “You scared me for a while there. I thought—"

“Thought what?”

“Nothing,” he said while patting his chest, trying to ease his breathing. Looking at his relaxedappearance as if he had just gone through a life-and-death situation, Narissa felt like someone wastugging at her heart.

It turned out that her feelings for him had given him so much pressure. She forced herself to take adeep breath to suppress her urge to cry and pretended to be okay. “Hey, can we be friends in thefuture?”

“As long as you don't mind our past, I have no objections,” Jamie spoke freely and easily. “It'ssettled, then. From now on, you will be my lackey,” Narissa announced with teary eyes.

"Hey, that's not fair. I should be the leader, okay?” Jamie had a habit of quarreling with her, butwhen she glared at him, he would immediately admit defeat. “Okay, okay. I'm a gentleman, so Iwon't fight with you. Since I'm in a good mood today, I'll let you win this time.”

“That's more like it.” Narissa then took out something from her pocket and threw it at him. “Here,take it.”

Taking the thing in his hand, Jamie shook it and asked, “A set of keys? What's the meaning of this?Not only do you want me to be your lackey, but you also want me to be your driver?”

“Yeap.” She shrugged without any objection. “Fine. I'll serve you well for once today. Where is yourcar parked?” Jamie responded kindly.

“You'll know when you push the button.” She pretended to be mysterious. Although Jamie had abad feeling about it, he still listened to her and pressed the button

Beep. Beep. He quickly turned to look toward the direction of the sound and saw a dark purplesports car. The car was decorated with string lights, which made it shine like twinkling stars; thescene was astonishing.

"What the heck.” Jamie was so shocked that he could not keep his mouth closed. He then dashedfor the car immediately.

When he touched the car's perfect exterior and material, he thought that he had no more regrets inhis lifetime. “Isn't this the dream car we designed together? You actually managed to custom-madeit. Narissa, you're awesome!”

Slowly approaching him, she let out a satisfied breath. It seems like he really likes his present. “Wantto take it out for a spin?” she asked while raising her eyebrows.

“Let's go together!” Jamie unceremoniously got into the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt, anddrove the car into the night with a whoosh.

At this time of night, there were not many cars or passersby on the road, so Jamie drove straightdown the road on the outskirts of the city and circled around the city. He did not even take his footoff the accelerator throughout the ride, nor did he intend to slow down.

They did encounter two on-duty traffic police, but the sports car Jamie was driving sped so fast thatthe traffic police did not even get a glimpse of the license plate before the car disappeared. By thetime the traffic police realized what had happened, the car was already nowhere to be seen.

Half an hour later, Jamie unreluctantly stopped the car in front of the club.

"Did you have fun tonight?” Narissa asked.

“That goes without saying! Tonight was the happiest night I've had for a while. This car is thedefinition of fast and furious. To tell you the truth, Narissa, the mod you made is like... literallycustom-made for me! Everything was so smooth!” With both eyes shining brightly, he touched thesteering wheel affectionately.

“It was made for you,” Narissa whispered.

Jamie could hear it very clearly, but he pretended to not hear anything to avoid getting into anawkward situation again. “Hahaha. You're indeed my best buddy. You do know me best!"

"Yes, we're best buddies. I'm glad you like it.” She could not keep her smile anymore, so she openedthe door to get out. “I'll be leaving now.”

“Right here?” Jamie politely offered, “Why don't I send you home?"

"Here is fine,” Narissa insisted.

Since her feelings for him began here, they should also end here.

“Are you planning to head back on your motorcycle?” With all the possibilities of why she wouldwant to stop here, Jamie took a guess

With a forced smile, she replied, “That's right. I should ride my bike to where I belong.” “Your wordskind of rhyme. Fine. I'll stop insisting on driving you back. Goodbye.”

“Goodbye.” After they bid their farewell, Jamie drove away and left Narissa behind.

Inside his rearview mirror, her figure became blurrier and was gradually swallowed by the dark.Then, the smile on Jamie's face gradually disappeared.

It would be best for them to remain as they were.

The following day. Early in the morning, Danny rushed to the company and arrived according to hisestimated time. Then, he pushed open the door to Ariel's office but found it empty.

"What's going on? Isn't this the time she usually comes to work?” he muttered to himself. He waiteduntil midnight last night before turning on his phone, but he did not replace any replies from Arielwhen he opened his WhatsApp.

Even their female classmates did not know the meaning of her actions, so he was worried. On onehand, he was afraid that she would not show him any response; on the other hand, he was afraidthat he would do too much and hurt her feelings. All in all, he was feeling very anxious

Now that he could not locate Ariel, it made him even more flustered. He calmed himself down anddiscovered a letter on her desk. When he approached it, he saw that it was a letter of resignation.Did she leave?

Alarm bells rang inside Danny's head as he took out his phone to call her. However, what hereceived as a response was that her phone was turned off.

The spacious room became so quiet that he could hear his heart beating like it was about to jumpout of his chest. Even his breathing had become rushed.

“Mr. Griffith, are you looking for Miss Whitney?” An assistant passed by the door and asked. “Doyou know where she is?”

When Danny turned his head over, his usually calm and collected appearance was replaced with aterrifyingly dark expression with bloodshot eyes.

The assistant was stunned for a moment before stammering, “Yesterday afternoon, Ms. Whitneyasked me to book a flight to Mesdra. She should be on her way to the airport by now..."

Before the assistant could finish her words, Danny ignored her and dashed straight out. He drovelike a madman and even ran three red lights, arriving at the airport half an hour before the flightwas due to depart.

Meanwhile, Ariel was about to check in and board the plane when a large palm appeared out ofnowhere and snatched her plane ticket. Then, she was pulled to the side.

When she came to her senses, she met Danny's eyes that were filled with resentment and complaint.At that moment, the woman who never bowed down before a man guiltily avoided his gaze for thefirst time.

"Why?" His deep voice was filled with oppression and obvious blame. “I told you before. I wannahave a different environment, and this matter has been put aside for too long—"

“Fine. Tell me. Which country are you heading to? Wherever you go, I'll branch out our companythere!” Danny could not be bothered with anything at the moment as he only knew one thing in hishead—to not let her go.
