Chapter 107
Caspar had ordered some dishes when Arya returned to the restaurant. He knew her preferences very
well.
Seeing her come back alone, Caspar didn't ask her because he knew it was improper to pry into her
secret.
Selena had wanted to speak but stopped at last since Arya returned.
Arya noticed it and said, "Speak frankly."
"You and my sister are friends. Can I call you Arya?" Selena looked at Arya sincerely.
Sunny's death was a pity for Selena.
She regretted not coming back to see Sunny and being rather indifferent to Sunny for so many years.
She didn't even see Sunny before her death.
Caspar was afraid that Arya would refuse and said in favor of Selena, "She has always blamed
herself."
Arya glanced at Caspar and smiled. "I won't refuse. Don't be so nervous."
Caspar rubbed his nose with embarrassment, "She decided to stay here. You just took over the
company and need helpers. I think she can help you with her expertise."
Upon hearing this, Arya was a little surprised. "You're not going back?"
Selena nodded. She stayed here because of Caspar and the idea that she would have a bright future
domestically.
Arya knew that Selena graduated from a prestigious school and had worked abroad. She was afraid
that Selena would not work in her company.
Selena saw Arya's concern and said with a smile, "Now that you're my sister's close friend, I'll help you
make your company better."
Selena had told her thoughts to Caspar before attending the meal, and he also thought it was a good
idea.
Arya had already had Orlando. Now she got Selena. There would be no position for Richard in her
company.
As they spoke, Ryan remained silent.
After a while, they stopped, and he asked suddenly, "Caspar, do you like Selena?"
The air froze for a second, and Caspar rubbed his hair, "Who told you that?"
"You're always looking at Selena." Ryan blinked his big eyes, looking quite cute.
Selena was a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and put her messy hair behind her ear.
Arya smiled and carried Ryan over, "You know a lot."
"Of course." Ryan raised his head, looking extremely proud.
Everyone at the table laughed out.
After dinner, Arya got separated from Caspar and Selena and walked back with Ryan in her arms,
instead of taking a taxi.
"Arya, I want to go by myself." Ryan struggled out of Arya's arms.
Arya had no choice but to squat and put him down. He said as he ran, "Chase me."
She followed him, trying to chase him. Then he ran faster.
"Slow down. You'll have a fall."
Shortly after Arya said it, Ryan fell over himself. Arya immediately rushed over to help him up and had
a check. "Are you hurt?"
Ryan reached out his hands. His palms had rubbed against the ground and got grazed. Arya gently
wiped the dust off his hands and blew. "You can't run so fast again."
Ryan looked at Arya and blinked. "Arya, why do you adopt me?"
Arya's hand trembled slightly, but she still pretended to be calm. "Because I like you."
Ryan smiled. "I like you, too."
Then he bent over and kissed Arya on the face.
Arya scratched his small nose and felt warm. She took his hand and walked along the road.
Ryan was looking down at their shadows on the ground while walking…
'Arya needs a boyfriend. Then we'll form a family of three.'

Early the next morning, Ryan was still sleeping when Arya was about to go to work. She asked Nanny
Joy to take care of him. Today there was a meeting of shareholders, so she had to go to the company.
When she passed by Orlando's office, she saw Selena was there and knocked on the door. "What are
you talking about? You look so serious."
Seeing Arya, Orlando said, "You're just in time. Selena and I are discussing the bidding for Clearwater
Bay."
Arya had heard that the Clearwater Bay was along the sea, with its back against green mountains, and
the scenery was quite good.
"It has been authorized to be developed. I had gone on a field trip. Its area is big enough for luxurious
houses or a vacation resort. But it's hard for our company to win the bidding."
Orlando glanced at Selena. "How can we know that if we don't have a try?"
Selena nodded. "Well, it's good to be ambitious."
Arya was reading their plan as they discussed.
Selena was right. It was hard for her company to win the bidding which needed an astronomical sum of
money. In fact, her company even didn't have the qualifications for the bidding.
Orlando was afraid that Arya would reject the proposal directly and said, "Although it will be difficult in Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
the early stage, how can we know we can't make it if we don't try? If we succeed, our company will
become one of the top companies in W City."
Selena echoed, "Orlando is right. We should have a try."
Arya saw determination and courage in their eyes.
"I have no reason not to support it. I will persuade the shareholders."
Although this project could turn the company around, it was rather risky.
Orlando stood up. "Don't worry. I will stand by your side."
Although he didn't have many shares, he had a say.
"Then I'll make a detailed plan and investigate the companies that will join the bidding."
Selena left Orlando's office with the document.
Orlando glanced at the clock. It was time for the meeting. "We should go."
Arya nodded and walked towards the meeting room with Orlando.
When they entered, the shareholders were almost all here. Richard didn't show up. Harriet sat in
Richard's seat.
Richard felt embarrassed. He had not been in the company since Arya took his place in public.
He transferred all his shares to Harriet.
Arya was not surprised to see her. Apart from the shares in her hands, the Harrison Family had the
largest shares.
She took over the company not long ago, but had made many great achievements.
Harriet was surprisingly calm.
Just as Arya was about to bring up the bidding case, there was a knock on the door.
It was the secretary. She said someone wanted to see Arya.
"Who is it?"
"He didn't tell it to me. He just said he wanted to see you."
Arya frowned.
Harriet folded her arms around her chest and looked at Arya quietly. A vicious look flashed across her
eyes.
Orlando was afraid that something might happen to Arya, so he stood up and said, "Just go. I'll handle
this here."
Arya nodded. In order to make Orlando's presentation go smoothly, she said to all the shareholders
when she left, "What he said is what I mean."
"Orlando, when did you become her lackey?" Harriet did not expect that Arya would be supported by
shareholders so soon after she entered the company.
She looked at Arya and said sarcastically, "You're really good at subduing men."
Just as Orlando was about to step forward, Arya pulled him back and replied more sarcastically, "I must
be better than you. At least I didn't have a broken-off engagement."
"You…" Harriet's heart ached.
Thinking of the man Arya was about to face, Harriet smiled, "You can't be so arrogant soon!"
Arya didn't want to talk to her anymore and looked away from her.
After leaving the conference room, the secretary led her to the lobby downstairs.
There was a man standing at the front desk…
