Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 239

As the waiter brought over two cups of coffee, Arwen smiled warmly at him and offered a soft "Thank you." Then, with an effortless elegance, she picked up her cup, bringing it to her lips to take a sip. Her smile deepened as the rich, smooth flavour of the coffee filled her senses —just the way she liked it.

Across the table, Daniel found himself unable to look away. He hadn’t often paid attention to Arwen’s subtler qualities, but now, sitting before her, he noticed an aura about her that seemed magnetic —much stronger than it was the last time. There was an understated grace in her every movement, and an inner glow that could captivate anyone.

He wouldn’t say it was something new because the way she carried it in her right now, tells the tale of her being accustomed to having it for a long time. Perhaps before she didn’t care to just flaunt it.

His lips curled in an understanding smile as realized the quote he had once read somewhere —Inner beauty only shines in the company of those who truly see it. And seeing Arwen’s inner beauty shining, Daniel knew who deserved the credit.

"What so mysterious?" Arwen asked, her gaze meeting his. Her tone though seemed casual, but her words carried a deeper meaning. "I never deliberately hid anything. No one just ever cared enough to find out. If they had put a little more effort, they might have discovered me easily."

"Easily?" Daniel echoed, letting a faint smile tug at the corners of his lips. Then shaking his head, he said, "That’s hard to believe. Because as far as I know, the Vice President of Davies Empire has kept himself so low-key that even the employees in the company don’t know what their leader looks like —if he is a man or a woman."

Arwen paused for a second as if doubting his facts before shaking her head at him. "That’s not true. A few who work closely with me know well." Then pointing out at him, she added, "And now even you know. Don’t you?"

"Arwen," Daniel didn’t know how to reason. Shaking his head with a tender smile, he said, "You sure are a mystery. But it’s fine, I don’t want to uncover it. Let me come across the surprises. I will enjoy it over time."

Arwen didn’t say anything, rather she took another sip of her coffee, before bringing up the topic they had met for. "When did you leave Foster Ventures?" she asked, her expression shifting slowly but considerably in accordance with the seriousness of the topic.

She knew Daniel had worked hard in Foster Ventures. And after years of hard work there, he was the last person who deserved to leave the company.

Daniel didn’t react much. Pressing a small smile, he said. "It’s soon going to be a month." He then picked up his cup of coffee to take a leisure sip, continuing, "Don’t worry, I never had a cool-down period in my employment contract with Foster Ventures. So, it won’t affect if I join Davies Empire or any other company."

Arwen nodded, understanding that he wasn’t comfortable sharing much. She didn’t probe further, rather smiled and added, "Great then. Your previous achievements are all well-known in the industry. The hotel industry might be new for you, but I am sure given your capabilities, you will soon be able to adapt accordingly."

"Sure, I will," Daniel affirmed. "I have always wanted to work there. It was just that at the beginning of my career, I have kept my priorities different."

She stopped near the desk, inquiring about her order. "Did you send my placed order to Giselle?"

The staff smiled and nodded with a cherry smile. "Yes, Ma’am. It’s been sent. It will reach the academy at the right time."

"Great," Arwen responded. "Thank you."

After that, both Arwen and Daniel walked out. As they stepped out, Daniel asked, "What’s the story with Giselle?"

"What do you think?" Arwen said with a smile, before telling something that only a few knew. "Giselle is my dance academy. I started it when I gave up my retirement from the stage." As she mentioned that, a melancholic smile curled her lips, reflecting the regret she had never been able to let go of.

Seeing her like that, Daniel couldn’t hold himself back from asking, "I remember you saying once that dance was your passion. Then why did you give up at the peak of your career? Hadn’t you got an opportunity to represent it abroad?"
