Ariana grappled with a dual tug within her, one fueled by moral condemnation, urging her to distance herself from Holden, and the other, driven by her personal desires, tempting her to remain close to him.

Ariana had wrestled with her thoughts for a long time, but it appeared she had finally made a decision.

Although she found her own thoughts somewhat absurd, she was resolute about meeting Holden. She believed seeing him would bring her peace of mind.

In her determination, Ariana reached out to Shawn directly, asking about the partnership proposal and when she could arrange to meet Holden.

Shawn’s response took a while, and it simply stated, “Mr. Fredrick says the proposal needs a few corrections. Please make the necessary changes.”

Ariana didn’t respond for a while and eventually replied with, “Alright.”

That night, Ariana’s frustration led her to burn the midnight oil, tirelessly revising the proposal. When she finally completed it, her mind was hazy from exhaustion. In her fatigued state, she accidentally sent the document to Holden instead of Shawn.
