She looked up to find him staring at her, amusement dancing in his eyes. “Chere, Ari.”
William stood nearby, his eyebrows raised in surprise when he saw Ariana dressed as a maid.
It was obvious that Brian had called William over with the tention of humiliating her in front of him.
“Why don’t you take a seat, Mr. Kingsman?” Brian said with a smirk.
He then turned to Ariana and ordered, “Ari, pull out the chair for Mr. Kingsman.”
Ariana remained still.

William nodded and graciously sat down.
Mr. Dalton’s gaze shifted to Ariana. “You must be Ms. Torrey,” he said with a smile. “I've had the pleasure of
meeting you before. You're truly a beauty.”
Ariana returned a polite smile but remained silent.

Watching her so eagerly ingratiate herself with their business partner, Brian couldn't help but sheet.
As expected, she would do anything for her own gain.
