Chapter 930
Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire
âMs. Moore, Mr. Nightshire has given us the kill order. We canât let anything untoward happen to you again,â Sasha said with a stern expression.
Even though the Greenesâ mercenaries were hardly a threat to Arielle, the fact that they carried guns did justify the need for added security.
Arielle replied, âGot it. You donât all have to be on the lookout, though. Take turns for the guard duty. I doubt the Greenes would dare to send anyone back.â
âUnderstood.â
With that, Arielle smiled and ruffled Blakeâs hair before walking into the mansion.
Vinsonâs arrangement might have been over the top, but even Arielle had to agree that it did give her a greater sense of peace and security.
I suppose this is the advantage of having a powerful backer.
Previously, Arielle had made a lot of ravioli for Vinson and kept the leftovers in the freezer. Even after defrosting and cooking them for dinner, their taste was still impeccable.
A glint flashed across Arielleâs eyes as she reached for her phone and rang up the manager of Maureenâs Kitchen âMs. Moore!â he exclaimed as soon as he answered the phone. âOur sales today have gone up by another fifty percent! If we keep this up, weâll be able to open another outlet soon.â
âThatâs what I planned on discussing with you too,â Arielle chimed in. âAfter this busy period, Iâd be able to focus on the preparations for a second outlet. Before that, however, Iâd like to introduce a new dish for the restaurant. Iâll swing by tomorrow after school and let the chef have a taste. If he approves of it, we can give this dish out to attract customers during the opening of the new outlet.â
âWill do. Iâll inform Glenn about it.â
Arielle had just ended the call with the manager when Trishaâs call came in almost immediately.
Without hesitation, Arielle answered it.
âTrish?â
âSannie, thereâs something I forgot to tell you.â
Arielle hummed as she swallowed her ravioli. âWhat is it?»
âTomorrowâs Monday, and as usual, our school will be holding a charity auction. There will also be a flea market in the afternoon, where people usually bring along knickâknacks or food items to sell. The money collected will either be donated to poorer students or used to build schools in the poor rural areas.â
âOh? Thatâs news to me. What about the charity auction?â
âIt starts at halfâpast four in the auditorium. The school will auction items donated by wellâknown alumni, and all auction proceeds will also go toward the donations.â After a pause, Trisha added, âDo you know which rural region our school will be helping this year?â
âWhich one?â
âItâs the one where Teddyâs from!â
Trisha had learned about Teddy from Arielle, so naturally, this piece of news excited them very much.
âOh, wow, Teddyâs hometown, huh?â Arielle remarked.
âYes! So, shall we take part in the flea market tomorrow?â
âSure!â
âWhat should we sell then?â Trisha asked. âHmm⦠Maybe I could sell my Lego figurines.â
Arielle was still racking her brains when the sight of her ravioli gave her an idea. âThen Iâll sell some food items.â
âFood? What kind?â
âYouâll find out tomorrow.â
âOkay! Iâve eaten your food before, so Iâm very much looking forward to it. Iâll even skip tomorrowâs lunch to support you!â
âHaha! Thank you in advance then,â Arielle replied before ending the call with Trisha.
She quickly finished her dinner and made her way back into the kitchen again.
If Iâm going to sell them, Iâll have to make a lot more.
Since Arielle had planned on introducing her ravioli as a dish for her restaurant outlet, the flea market would provide a good opportunity for her to test out how well received itâd be.
