Xander is not a fool to get carried away by her. They both are fully aware of others nature. Being together for these many years, they know how to get benefited by each other.
Even though they loved each other, it's their greed and power hungry which made them stay together all these years.
Rachel loves xander as much as she loves status and power where as xander love exists until she stays loyal to him in all aspects.
Xander pretending to be affected with her words said "it's okay, let her be we will soon make her our puppet like before and make her like me now even more than before.
I am warning you before itself, don't go over board with you gossips and spreading rumors about her past after all we yet to have use from her."
Rachel thinking what he said is true nodded her head and immediately posted in WhatsApp friends group not to spread unnecessary rumors about ariel.
Even though rachel never liked ariel, she knew this is not the time for some spicy drama. Thinking to use this opportunity fully xander is determined to make ariel as his stepping stone.
Where as rachel thought after their purpose achieved, she planned to expose her bizarre past then she will see how ariel maintains her glory.
When they finished discussing about their next step against ariel it's already getting evening.
Xander still has some work to finish so stayed back in his office where as rachel went for shopping.
Eric after strolling out for some time got bored and came back to ariel's room.
Ariel almost about to finish her work for the day, but she need to go back to AEC to sign an agreement with a perfume company.
When Eric came into her room she informed "handsome I need half an hour more to finish work here then I have to visit AEC.
If you want you can continue staying here or else can go back to your company..? what do you want to do..?
He thought for a second and replied let me check with my assistant. He pretended asking about his schedule to his assistant
Ariel smilingly said yes and continued with her work. Eric called to his assistant and asked if there is any work he needed to complete today.
Understanding his intention, he spoke loudly saying "no master, you have already completed all your work in the morning itself.
Eric disconnected the call thanking his assistant and said to ariel, "it seems I have already finisher all my work for the day so I will stay with you and keep you company till you finish your work.
After finishing your work will go back to home together, okay..?"
Ariel looked at him raising an eye brow and nodded her head. Eric sheepishly smiled and pretended as if browsing something serious in his phone.
Areil smiled to herself knowing what he is trying to pretend infront of her. Emily observed everything standing aside.
In the mean while christian and charlie were discussing about the design of protective suit which will have give access to the nearest machine gun.
The protective suit will have a laser equipment which will defect the machine gun from their enemies.
For the protective suit they are going to set up a separate design department. The department will sign an non disclosure agreement with military.

They formed an specific design department and then prepared the agreement stating all the important clauses which should non disclosable.
There should be an higher official presence required before signing so charlie old general of the military campus.
Before he came they prepared all the necessary documents. The old general reached in half an hour at the headquarters of weapon manufacture.
Charlie personally went to receive him and brought him on the highest floor of the building where the discussion is going on.
The old general requested ariel's presence as she will is the future heir and current acting CEO of the evans conglomerate.
Ariel knew about the project before through charlie but she didn't involve herself as it is related to military.
Christian called ariel to come and meet old general explaining the situation. Ariel said okay and tidied up her work leaving the office along with emily.
Eric understanding the situation didn't follow her and said "I will stay here, you must came back and pick me up. Dumb woman if you dare to forget, be ready to face the consequences."
Ariel said "come on handsome, how can I miss spending time with you, I will definitely comeback to pick you up."
Ariel reached the headquarters in less than half an hour as it's a peak time to go back home but not to offices.
More over the road is leading to outskirts of the city. Ariel got the access and reached at the highest floor along with emily.
The old general nolan possess immense power even after retiring from the military. His words can make rules in the army.
As soon as he saw the pretty yet confident ariel walking into the meeting room, he knew her capabilities in the business world.
Years of experience in the military made him recognize the talent with a single glimpse. His look of approval made charlie worry about his sister.
Charlie immediately said "old general nolan, don't even think about asking her to join in the army.
I don't want my sister to face more hurdles than what she already had. Old general nolan laughed saying "you cheeky brat, this young lady can achieve wonders in army.
But as you said she is more suitable in the business world. Christian we will meet again soon.
Both christian and charlie looked at each other confused but didn't probe what he mean by meeting soon.
He warmly welcomed her "come young lady, you didn't face nay difficulties while coming here."
Charlie is dumbfounded listening to his words thinking what she will face while through her own car with an capable assistant and body guard.
Old general nolan is more enthusiastic to know about ariel's personal life than about her skills in the business.
The interaction went well and they signed the contract along with the agreement. The contract states the years they are they are going to collaborate with each other.
Old general nolan is so fond of ariel that he asked her to visit him in the military colony. Ariel agreed for the time sake thinking he will forget her once he will become busy.
All the official documents has been signed and sealed by both the parties keeping a copy for each of them.
Old general surprised when he got to know that ariel got the business woman of the year. He is all smiles feeling proud of her accomplishments.
Even though his enthusiasm made a bit doubtful he covered it well with his praises for her.
After finishing their work old general nolan asked charlie to return to the military base to handle an important mission.
Ariel and Christian were reluctant to send back charlie so soon but call for the duty cannot stop him to spend time with family.
Sending their reluctance old general gave them one day and asked charlie to report back to the base.
Here eric accidentally got the information about ariel's meeting with xander. He narrowed his eyes thinking his presence must needed that time beside ariel.
Eric surprised to his own silly thoughts but still he can't trust ariel with any man what if those scum bags gets serious with her teasing and harass her.
He is reluctant to allow this man come closer to her let alone have a meeting. He clearly remembers how she felt while she was with him.
Eric called his assistant to ask his tomorrow schedule. He postponed outdoor meetings and asked him to send all the other documents he has to handle for tomorrow to evans conglomerate.
Ariel is a bit disappoint thinking about departure of charlie but she knew they can't stop him. All the way she cheered herself up.
Christian and charlie stayed back while she came back to the evans group.Eric looked at her and sensed her dullness even after she gave a smile to him.
For others, they might not be able to see through but to his astonishment he is able to see.
He cheered her up saying "dumb woman I will stay with you through out the day tomorrow. You will this most handsome man for an entire day are you happy..?
Ariel laughed at his narcissistic behavior and said "of course, I am more than happy to get you accompany me.
Have you finished your work..? let's leave for the home."
Eric successfully distracted her and said yes. She asked emily to leave for the day. Emily is reluctant to leave and said she will come along to evans mansion.
Eric immediately understood that Charlie might be leaving tomorrow. He ordered emily "take leave for tomorrow, I will accompany ariel."
Ariel looked dumbfounded at him but didn't speak anything. Charlie asked christian go back to the mansion himself as he has some personal work to finish.
Thinking it might be related to army, christian nodded his head asking him to be careful and went back in his car.
Charlie called a number asking him to meet where as emily got a call asking her to come back to their home by her mother.
