Confused, Arielle asked, “Dad, didn't you say you want to keep me company? Aren't you coming in?"
Henrick coughed. “Your team is very professional, it's best I don't disturb your flow. I'll go and check on your Aunt Cindy. She isn't familiar with certain things, so I'm afraid she can't handle it on her own. Call me when you're done, I'll treat your team to a good meal.”
At that moment, Arielle realized that Henrick started having dubious assumptions about Cindy.
That was a good chance for Arielle to find out if the secret compartment in her mother's office was still there.
“Okay, you go ahead. I'll look for you when I'm done.” She smiled.
“Sure, have a good time. I'll get going.” Henrick said as he turned to leave in a rush.
Obviously, he had no trust for people around him, including his wife. A comment from others would easily sow a seed of doubt in him.
Arielle thought that it would be quite easy and yet challenging to attack people who were not resolute. She could not give herself away in front of Henrick, otherwise, she would be suspected too.
The smile on her face remained until Henrick disappeared from her sight when the elevator door closed.
Iris did not notice the changes in Arielle's expression. She teased her, “Ms. Sannie, do you remember my text message? There's a new
person in charge today. Do you want to know who it is?”
Arielle's response was slightly delayed as she was not paying attention. “Who?”
To her, she could not be bothered about the new personnel. All she wanted was a smooth day at work.
Iris chuckled. Before she could say anything, they had arrived at the top floor. The elevator door opened, revealing a towering figure.
That man outside the elevator was exceptionally good-looking. He had a pair of deep-set eyes, a chiseled face, a defined jawline, and outstanding features.
Who else could it be if it's not Vinson?
Arielle was so stunned to see Vinson showing up at the elevator. The next moment, she turned to Iris as she recalled her text message.
Iris giggled. “Ms. Sannie, Mr. Nightshire is the person in charge of today's shoot.”
Arielle was flabbergasted.
Why is he the person in charge? As the CEO of Nightshire Group, is he that free?
Vinson was planning to go downstairs and pick Arielle up. Seeing that she had arrived, he took a step back and cast a look at Iris.
Instantly, Iris got the cue. Keeping her head low, she scurried away and left them alone.
Confused, Arielle asked, “How did you become the person in charge? You don't have anything to do in your company?”
Vinson replied casually, “It's just a simple shoot that won't take up a lot of my time. Moreover, I can continue working from here. I'm more worried about your performance as the ambassador. This is a project that I place great emphasis on, don't you mess it up.”
Arielle assumed that he came because of her. After hearing his explanation, she pursed her lips.
I knew it! Thankfully, I'm aware that he doesn't have any feelings for me. Had I not known that, I might have thought in the wrong direction.
She answered, “I can guarantee that I won't let you down. Let's get started!”
She had to complete quite a bit in the afternoon due to the fact that she had requested for a half-day leave in the morning.
