Chapter 397
Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire
Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 397 The next moment, Jared piqued up, âYou did us such a huge favor. We should be the ones treating you to a meal!â
Henry nodded as eagerly as before. âYes! Heâs right! Please accept our treat. It would be rude to have a girl treat us anyway.â
Arielle refused their offers. âIâm in a great mood today. So let me have my way; you can treat me another day.â
âAlrighty then!â Henry asked, âSo, where should we eat?â
Before Arielle could answer, the door to their booth was suddenly kicked open, followed by a familiar voice.
âJared, what the hell did you do this time?â
Isnât this Harveyâs voice? Arielle was stunned.
As expected, Harvey stormed into the room soon after.
Jared scrunched his brows and was about to reply when Arielle cut in, âHarvey Jupiter?â
Harvey froze in motion before whipping around to stare at Arielle.
Once he recognized her, he asked in surprise, âArielle, what are you doing here?â
She smiled in response. âI should be asking you the same thing. Arenât you abroad? When did you get back?â
Harveyâs anger seemed to deflate in an instant as he said, âI just got back. I got a phone call from the principal the minute I got off the plane, telling me that my younger brotherâs in trouble.â
As he mentioned his younger brother, Harveyâs gaze landed on Jared, who was next to Arielle.
âWait. You guys know each other?â
Arielle eyed Jared and realized something akin to reverence in the latterâs gaze. He must be pretty scared of his older brother.
Recalling how furious Harvey had been when he soothe some of the tension. âYes, weâre classmates now. Weâre both in the preparatory class for Jadeborough University. I practically begged him to show me around Jadeborough.â
âAh, I see.â Harvey nodded as the last hints of anger left his features. He turned to Jared next. âThat was kind of you. If Arielleâs bored, you should show her around town. Iâll keep this from grandpa.â
Jaredâs eyes widened in shock.
I thought he would hit me for sure! How did he make a complete one-eighty after a word from Arielle?
Could it beâ¦
His gaze darted between Arielle and Harvey as he came to a realization.
She might become my sister-in-law in the future. That would be awesome! Sheâs the coolest! So what if those fake socialites said sheâs from the countryside? Arielleâs insanely talented and friendly to boot.
Sheâs more than a fitting match for Harvey!
Their conversation, however, told Jared that Harveyâs pursuit of Arielle had yet to succeed.
He decided right then and there to help them speed things along. âThanks, Harvey. Boss was about to treat us to a meal. You probably havenât eaten anything after getting off the plane; would you like to join us?â
Harvey looked at his younger brother approvingly before speaking to Arielle. âI havenât eaten. You wouldnât mind me tagging along, would you? I swear I wonât eat you out of house and home.â
Arielle smiled and shook her head. âOf course not. Iâve got things to ask you anyway.â
âThatâs great. Lead the way, then.â
The four of them left the internet cafe. The attractive group invited admiring stares from other patrons in the internet cafe.
Someone even pulled out his phone to discreetly snap a shot of the group. He posted it online and added a cheeky caption: Ran into some hotties in the internet cafe. Yay or nay?
The person who uploaded the photo happened to be a popular game streamer, and his post was soon bombarded with comments from his followers.
Whereâs this place? Sign me up!
Yay, a billion times yay! Especially that gal!
Arielle remained blissfully unaware of her anonymous stardom on the Internet. She walked ahead with Harvey, while Henry and Jared kept a distance to give them some privacy.
Hmm? This route seems oddly familiar.
Henry piqued up, âArenât we walking back to the university? Is Boss treating us to a meal at the cafeteria?â
âHey, a treat is a treat. Be grateful,â came Jaredâs curt reply.
Henry grew more perplexed. âArenât you a picky eater? Why are you suddenly so considerate?â
Jared left his friendâs question hanging in the air.
Once Harveyâs married, he wonât have the time to interfere in my business anymore. Whatâs a bit of cafeteria food for the sake of his marriage and my independence? I can eat anything Jaredâs expression changed slightly. Okay, maybe not anything As Arielle led them toward Jadeborough University, she whispered to Harvey, âDid you find any clues during your trip overseas?â
Harvey nodded and did not bother sugarcoating anything since Arielle was now fully involved. âWe tracked the coordinates you gave us, but the place was empty when we arrived. We did find something useful, though. The clues are presently pointing us toward a shipping company.â
