As Vinson did not speak Turlenese, Arielle was reluctant to converse with Aaron in his language for fear of making Vinson feel excluded. Though Vinson did not care, Arielle did not want him to hang onto every word of theirs in confusion.
“I'm only concerned about you," Aaron replied dully.
Though Arielle knew from the time they had spent together that he meant well, she decided to tell Aaron a version of the truth seeing as Vinson and Aaron were destined to run into each other frequently for the foreseeable future.
“He's a bodyguard under my employ for my personal protection,” Arielle lied casually as she met his gaze.
Aaron’s eyes dimmed at the news. No wonder he's always by Arielle's side.
“Fire him,” Aaron suggested as his gaze darkened. “I'll protect you instead.”
He found himself going mad with jealousy at the thought of another man being in close proximity to her.
Vinson seemed to have read Aaron's mind from the way his dark eyes flicked toward the latter fiercely.
Feeling Vinson's eyes upon him, the prince's temper rose instantly at the insolent way he was being regarded.
“Get out!” he barked at Vinson.
However, Vinson stood his ground to Aaron's chagrin. “Can't you understand a simple instruction?” he bellowed again. Incensed at the former's unresponsiveness, Aaron opened the door to summon his bodyguard to expel Vinson.
