The following morning, Ariana awoke and reached for her phone, a Lazy gesture that had become a routine.
As she unlocked the device, her eyes widened in surprise as a notification informed her that one of her previously published videos had earned a spot on the popular List of the app.
Confusion and astonishment tangled within her.
She delved into the backend and discovered an unexpected twist â her videoâs ranking had been boosted.
To her astonishment, the person behind this was none other than the affluent admirer from the previous night.
Shocked and exasperated by this turn of events, Ariana resolved to communicate with him.
She sent a message, inquiring why he had broken his promise not to intervene in boosting her videosâ rankings.
However, patience was tested as time stretched on without a response from the other end.
With a sigh, Ariana placed her phone aside, tending to her daily obligations.
After a considerable interval, a message eventually appeared from the mysterious benefactor.
Yet, instead of addressing her question, he sent a picture.
In the image, a young girl viewed from behind played joyfully with building blocks.
Subsequently, a new message blinked into view: âHow do I make my Little one happy?â
The sight of the adorable silhouette in the photograph triggered an unexpected reaction in Ariana.
Her heart warmed and softened at the sight.
It was evident that the girl was undeniably endearing; Arianaâs own maternal instincts yearned to embrace and coddle her.
Reflecting on the query, Ariana responded, âProviding within reasonable boundaries should suffice.
â
âReasonable boundaries?â Holden contemplated briefly, unable to conjure any notions that would tread into the realm of unreasonableness.
Intrigued, he pressed on, âWhat if her desires remain unspoken?â
âs
Arianaâs reply was concise.
âCertain children might be more reticent and struggle to articulate their wishes, but kids are not difficult to decipher.
Observe where their focus lies, and that should serve as your compass.
â
Following a prolonged exchange, both participants resumed their separate routines.
Soon, a message arrived from Arianaâs assistant, announcing the completion of all the paperwork for the new company.
Organizing the documents, Ariana retrieved the invitation letter presented by Sonia, a token to partake in a talent show hosted by the BRD Group.

Arriving on set, Ariana handed the invitation letter and the companyâs business license to a young male staff member.
His gaze swept over her, and upon noticing her newly established company, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
He carelessly placed her documents at the bottom of the pile, commenting, âYou must have spent quite a bit on that invitation letter.
Most participants in this program are from well-established agencies.
Your participation seems like just filling up the numbers and wasting an invitation letter.
â
His tone dripped with contempt and mockery.
Ariana frowned, but her patience held as she waited for him to complete the procedure.
To her surprise, the staff member allowed the person behind her to proceed with registration, completely ignoring her.
He treated the next person with enthusiasm, displaying an entirely different attitude, even laughing with delight.
This infuriated Ariana.
She had to pick up Melon from Soniaâs place later and couldnât afford to waste time here.
