Chapter 46: Just die, Arianna

Richard wanted to look away and just nod his head. When had he become a buddy to Jace Hudson? But he couldn't, his eyes met with Jace's and the broad smile he had on was contagious. Richard chuckled and smiled back. "Good morning CEO Jace"he said and their eyes lingered on each other more. Jace walked further into the room as he cast a glance on Arianna. She was still unconscious and he hoped she would come back to consciousness soon. "Good morning, bro" Chase chimed, going over to his brother and giving him a hug. He is so happy to see Jace, better looking than the previous day. He seemed to put the emotional breakdown of the previous day behind and embrace a new dawn with great expectations. Jace went over and hugged Richard. The latter initially was reluctant but then,he respected Jace for taking the first initiative. They hugged each other and Richard said "I'm sorry, CEO Jace, about yesterday" "It's alright, it's in the past now" he said and passed another glance at Arianna.
