Became CEO's Beloved, Accidentally

Chapter 2

In less than ten minutes, a bright red sports car arrived before Ariana.

A woman in flamboyant outfit hopped out of the vehicle hastily.

"Girl, you really filed for a divorce?” the woman asked right away. She was Ariana's best friend, Brittany Foster.

"Yes." Ariana nodded and got into the passenger seat.

"Finally!" Brittany exclaimed dramatically and leaped into the driver's seat. "Look at you. Where has that confident and chic girl gone? You laid down your pride just for that man, caring for his family like a servant. But they not only didn't appreciate it, but they also thought you were taking advantage of them! I'm sick of those assholes!"

Ariana pressed her lips together and remained silent.

Brittany sensed her discomfort and immediately hugged her. "If you want to cry, just let it out."

Ariana stayed in her embrace for a moment, lowered her head to wipe away the dampness in her eyes, then started to laugh. "Today is a good day, I want to go to an amusement park to celebrate."

Half an hour passed.

At a certain amusement park in Oswestry City, Ariana sat on a bungee ride, experiencing the exhilarating sensation of free-falling and screaming loudly.

After that, Ariana went for numerous thrilling rides like the propeller, the roller coaster, and the freefall water slide.

She screamed and cried freely, her tears mixing with the excitement.

In her mind, memories of her interactions with Bobbie over the past decade flashed by like a carousel...

The thrill-seeking rides indeed had a healing effect on her. After all the rides, Ariana felt much better.

Wiping the last teardrop from her eyes, Ariana had thoroughly removed Bobbie from her heart.

Later, with Brittany by her side, Ariana went to the clothing store for a total makeover. She also changed her long straight hair into blonde wavy curls.

Staring at the completely transformed Ariana, Brittany snapped her fingers contentedly. "Now, this is the real Ariana."

Ariana gazed at herself in the mirror – elegant, beautiful, and confident.

No one could associate her with the timid, silent, pitiful Mrs. Davies of the past four years.

"Long time no see, Ariana," Ariana murmured to herself.

By the time they were done with all the activities, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

The two starving women headed to a restaurant.

"You wait for me here. I'm going to ask the chef to make some of his specialty dishes," Brittany said while patting Ariana's shoulder before turning away.

As Ariana walked towards the private room they reserved, unexpectedly encountered a couple on their way out –

Bobbie and his lover, Jaclyn Jenkins.

It was rare to even catch a glimpse of Bobbie on an ordinary day, yet they happened to cross paths immediately after the divorce?

Ariana sighed inwardly, wanting to avoid them.

"Miss Barnes." Jaclyn was the first to notice her. Smiling sweetly, she greeted, "You must be here for Bobbie."

Just as Ariana was about to deny it, but then she heard Jaclyn's voice again, "Sorry, I only asked Bobbie to pick something up for me from the court's office. I didn't mean for you two to divorce."

Ariana scoffed inwardly.

It turned out that even her divorce was because of Jaclyn's sake. She had mistakenly believed that Bobbie still had a hint of feelings for her after four years of marriage.

But now, she realized how mistaken she was. Ariana chuckled at herself silently.

If she had not decided to let Bobbie go entirely, she believed she would be heartbroken.

"Now that there's a cooling-off period, Bobbie, you should explain things properly if there are any misunderstandings between you two, got it?" Jaclyn spoke softly, then gave Bobbie a slight push before gracefully turning around.

Ariana did not want Bobbie to misunderstand, so she quickly explained, "I'm not here for you. TIt was a complete accident."

"Your tactics won't work on me!" Bobbie retorted.

He lowered his gaze to look at Ariana.

All radiant and beautiful in her new hairstyle and different clothes.

Huh, she's trying to get his attention that way, isn't she?

He did not believe that Ariana truly wanted a divorce. In fact, he thought it was just her tactic of taking advantage of the cooling-off period.

The more Ariana acted like this, the more disgusted Bobbie felt.

"My tactics?" Ariana did not expect that Bobbie would still harbour such a thought even after their divorce.

Bobbie's words made Ariana laugh out of anger.

Thinking that Bobbie never trusted her anyway, Ariana did not bother to explain. She simply responded, "Think whatever you want."

With that, she walked straight into the private room.

Bobbie initially intended to leave after hearing her response. However, he did not expect such a response. Hence, he paused in his tracks, turning around to look at Ariana.

All he saw was her back.

She... left?

After dinner, Brittany said mysteriously, "It's not enough for you to return to your old self physically. You must get back your old spirit too. I plan to bring Queen Ariana back for good."

Ariana. She was puzzled by Brittany's words until they arrived at the largest nightclub in the city.

"Are you sure you want me to dance like this?" Looking at the sexy dancers on the stage, Ariana hesitated.

"What's there to be afraid of? You've danced like that before!" Brittany tossed a red dress to Ariana. "With your skills, when you're on stage, those professionals will have to step aside!"

Ariana laughed at Brittany's teasing and picked up a more conservative outfit. "I think it's better to do a classical dance."

After changing into the outfit, Ariana started to dance on stage.

Amidst the powerful music, her body moved gracefully and elegantly. The dress highlighted her agility, and she leapt around as if she were a fairy descending to the human world.

"What the hell? Someone's actually doing a classical dance at the bar," someone in the audience who noticed Ariana's unconventional performance exclaimed.

"But look at that! How perfectly her dance matches the music's rhythm!"

"Wow! She's got some moves!"

Originally criticizing her choice of dance, the audience's opinion quickly changed when they saw her skillful performance. Their eyes were wide with amazement.

They had never seen anyone doing a classical dance along with such pumping music in seamless harmony.

The crowd that had been dancing on the stage gradually moved to the sides as they were captivated by her enchanting movements.

Under the spotlight, she was the sole focus of attention. Her spins and jumps were flawless and daring, earning her continuous screams of admiration from the audience.

The four scantily-clad pole dancers on stage were instantly outshined.

Brittany was initially worried that people would mock Ariana's classical dance, but looking at the situation, she could not help but prop up her chin and look at Ariana with admiration.

"That's my girl! Ariana shines wherever she goes."

Ariana was deeply immersed in her dance and did not notice the onlookers watching her.

She had not danced for four long years, and all her suppressed feelings burst forth at this moment. All she wanted was to let go and vent her feelings.

Ariana's body was limber and enchanting, and she was very light-footed. Once she got into the swing of the dance, she even jumped onto a pole and began to dance on it.

Her pole dancing style was not as explicit as the typical pole dancers', and it was definitely refreshing to see. As she executed one difficult move after another perfectly, the crowd below erupted in screams of delight time after time.

"Hey, is she a new dancer? She's got skills."

Below the stage, Bobbie and a few friends came over. Immediately, one of them had his attention pulled towards Ariana's figure on the stage.

The more the man watched, the more he thought something was off. "Isn't that woman... your ex-wife?"
