187 The gift
Areez smiled widely. “Introducing, this is Suri Mireya Clarke. She is my future wife.”
It was not only Patricia who was very surprised to hear Areez’s statement, Aldrich and Suri herself were equally surprised.
Patricia, who had managed to control her surprise, shook her head quickly. “No way, you can’t possibly choose a rude girl like her as your wife. You must be joking, right?”
“Joking, why am I joking? What’s in it for me? And one more thing, who are you calling rude? She is the single most graceful girl I know.”
“Areez ..”
“Even Suri is very good at some classical dances which nowadays young people are starting to ignore,” Areez said quietly, cutting Patricia’s words, praising Suri as high as the sky.
Patricia shook her head again, having only lived in Geneva for a few days made her unfamiliar with the Clarkes. That’s why she looked calm when Areez introduced Suri’s full name, in contrast to some of the staff behind her. The girls started whispering with frightened faces when they realized that Jackson Clarke’s beloved daughter was in front of them, even the receptionist who had previously restrained Suri from going up to the third floor didn’t dare to raise her face when she realized that the girl she had just humiliated was a Clarke. One of the most talked about girls in Geneva.
“Don’t praise her too much, Areez. She doesn’t deserve your compliments, moreover she doesn’t fit your criteria for the girl of your dreams, does she?” said Patricia arrogantly. “Just look at her mediocre body and face, not at all comparable to my sister who ..”
“The traitor?” Aldrich, who was tired of hearing Patricia always bringing up her sister’s name when arguing with Areez, finally lost his temper. Aldrich felt that Patricia didn’t want Areez to move on from the traitor girl. “Of course it’s different, Suri is way above your sister who has had too many plastic surgeries.”

“Aldrich, watch your words. Don’t think that because you’re the prime minister’s son, I don’t dare you, huh! I’m not afraid of you just so you know,” Patricia screamed hysterically.
Aldrich folded his arms across his chest. “Why are you angry, isn’t what I’m saying true? Everyone in Auckland already knows what Angelica, that plastic girl looks like.”
“Aldrich White!”
“Watch yourself, Patricia!” said Areez coldly trying to break up the dispute between Aldrich and Patricia. “You’d better apologize now.”
Patrialis laughed. arrogant. “Me, sorry to her? Don’t dream, I’m innocent for what I’m sorry for?”
Areez wrapped his arms around Suri’s shoulders. “If you don’t want to apologize to her you’d better go back to Auckland, starting today you’re fired.”
After saying that Areez then led Suri to walk to his room which is on the fourth floor, leaving everyone who was very surprised to hear about his dismissal of Patricia. Patricia’s face was as white as paper, she didn’t expect to be fired in such a humiliating manner.
Aldrich pursed his lips at the change in Patricia’s face, slowly turning his attention to the few staff who were still standing behind Patricia. “If you don’t want to share the same fate as Patricia, you’d better get back to your desks immediately.”
As soon as Aldrich closed his mouth, ten staff members who previously wanted to protect Patricia immediately ran to their respective desks, including the receptionist who had previously given harsh words to Suri who forced her to go up to the third floor, the place where Areez had a meeting. .
Patricia, who did not accept being fired in such a dishonorable manner, grabbed Aldrich by the collar. “I’m not going back to Auckland, I refuse to be fired. You can’t think of me in this way, I have the right to continue working in this office. My sister is a shareholder in Areez’s company...”
“Indeed, but that was then. Long before Areez withdrew the stock he gave to your treacherous sister, you certainly didn’t forget that, did you?”
Patricia’s lips trembled, she really couldn’t answer Aldrich’s words. Patricia forgot that her sister’s shares had been taken back by Areez a few years ago, not long after Angelica ran away with her lover with some assets belonging to the Floyen family which Areez finally managed to get back after he asked Interpol for help in hunting down the criminal couple.
“So you’d better pack up and leave this company. Since your presence is no longer wanted by the CEO, I hope your flight back to Auckland goes smoothly without any hiccups and hopefully we can meet again at another opportunity in the future. Excuse me. and see you later,” Aldrich said quietly before he left Patricia alone.
Patricia clenched her fists, her lips trembling with emotion. She was truly furious and embarrassed by the cruel treatment of Areez, the man he had been targeting for so long.
“Suri Mireya Clarke... Suri Mireya Clarke... wait for my revenge, you may feel triumphant now. But wait for my revenge, Areez Floyen is mine.”

“Soft Drink, milk or ..”
“No thanks!” Suri refused Areez’s offer curtly.
Arees smiled. “Still angry? I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to. I didn’t mean to ignore your message, earlier during the meeting I completely forgot to bring my cellphone, Suri.”
“Classic reasons!”
“I swear,” Areez said quickly, half-up into the air.
Suri turned her gaze to the glass, she was still annoyed at Areez who had dared to ignore the message that was sent thirty minutes ago.
“So, what should I do to get your forgiveness, now?” Areez asked quietly. “I will do whatever you tell me to.”
“That girl who called me a whore, who is she? You guys look familiar.”
Areez frowned. “Patricia you mean?”
“Yeah, who is she?”
“It’s a long story...”
“The point is then, after all, I also don’t like talking about other people,” said Suri curtly.
Arees smiled. “Ok, I’ll tell you. But you better sit down first.”
Suri gave Areez a murderous stare for a few seconds before she finally walked over to the sofa Areez had appointed her to sit on.
Areez couldn’t help but chuckle seeing Suri’s grumpy attitude which also hasn’t gone away. Carrying two cans of Suri’s favorite soft drink in both hands, Areez immediately followed and joined Suri sitting on the sofa.
“Patricia is the sister of my ex-wife who ran away right on our wedding day five years ago, Angelica ran away with her mistress after stealing money and some assets belonging to the Floyen family. Luckily Aldrich acted immediately at that time, so the assets belonging to my ancestors could return to me without anyone one less,” Areez said slowly starting to tell the story. “From then on I didn’t believe in love until I finally met you in Zurich that day.”
