Chapter 709
Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire
Henrick came to ask for his shares. Yet, with Vinson by Arielleâs side, he wouldnât have the guts to talk about it.
He pondered and finally decided to leave.
He believe that heâd be able to take back what was his one day.
Arielleâs heart was beating like a drum, and she would peek at Vinson every time she got the chance to do so.
Does he also like me?
She couldnât stop doubting as Vinson had this plain expression on his face and said nothing since they walked out of the elevator.
âShall I send you back to school?â he finally asked.
âYes, please.â Arielle nodded.
She was hoping that he would extend their conversation but he was as quiet as a log.
At the school gate, Arielle looked quizzically at Vinson. âBye?â
He gazed into her eyes, slowly traced his eyes down her cheeks, and onto her lips.
Seconds later, he flicked his gaze away and let out a cough. âIâll pick you up after school and weâll pay my mom a visit. What do you say âVinson, do you like me?â Arielle bit her lips for a while before mustering enough courage to hurl Vinson this question.
She had asked him the same question once before but had gotten a negative answer.
Click! Vinson unbuckled his seatbelt and moved closer to Arielle, and before she could react, his soft lips were pressed firmly against hers.
âOf course, I like you. Arielle, I really like you. Iâve never been in a relationship and I donât know how to woo girls. But I promise Iâll learn so I could please you.â
âPfft! Vinson, youâre sillier than me!â Arielle chuckled, got off the car, and scuttled into the school.
She somehow felt that the flowers around the school were blooming for her. Every breath she took in smelled of sweet floral fragrance.
Vinson likes me. He really likes me!
Meanwhile, Vinson had his palm against his chest in the car. Heâd never experienced such a sensation before.
Only God knows how anxious and scared he was when he kissed Arielle. He feared that she might push him away.
But she didnât push me away. She didnât! Yes!
The over six foot CEO giggled like a child in his car.
A few seconds later, he gave Jordan a call.
âIâm gonna give you five million. Show me your way of wooing girls.â
Jordan staggered for a bit before he gave his secret. âThe way to girlsâ hearts are fresh bouquets and a good sense of humor.â
âA good sense of humor?â
âYou have everything but youâre too boring. Girls like men who are fun and youâre anything but that.
Theyâll eventually lose interest in you.â
âThere goes your five million.â
Huh?
âNo, no, no! Youâre a humorous one! How about this, watch this romance drama called The CEO And I.
Since the guy in the show is a CEO like you, you might learn a few tricks that work for you.â
While Jordan was trying to save his fleeting five million, another episode was brewing at the hotel.
Before Donovan could hail a taxi outside the hotel, Queenie caught up and stopped him.
âYou canât just leave like that, Donovan!â
âWhat is it that you want now? If it werenât for you, things wouldnât have gone south.â Donovan threw a glance back at her.
âYouâre the one who spritzed the perfume onto yourself and you are the one who put me onto your bed.
Now that things are messed up, am I the only one to blame? Iâm also the victim here, okay! Youâre going to be responsible for what had happened.â
