Meanwhile, Aaron was speeding in his car when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
With one hand on the steering wheel, he reached for his phone with the other.
When he saw that it was from an anonymous number, he decided to not accept the call.
However, after the call was automatically rejected due to him not answering, the caller called a second time.
Left without a choice, he stopped the car abruptly and finally answered in an exasperated tone, “Who is this?"
Nico didn't mind him being rude. In fact, she was delighted by it. The more upset he was, the stronger his feelings for Arielle were. That way, there was a higher chance of them working together.
“I'm Nico,” she replied candidly.
Aaron furrowed his brows. Nico? I don't know her at all.
Holding that thought, his tone worsened. “I don't know you!”
Just when he was about to end the call, Nico read his mind and remarked, “I'm the daughter of the general, Nico. The one you're supposed to marry.” Worried that he would hang up on her, she quickly added, “I know you like Arielle. So, I have a deal for you.”
Upon hearing her proposal, Aaron asked in a grim tone, “What kind of deal?”
“Let's talk about it face to face. It's hard to discuss over the phone,” Nico answered with a raised voice.
Curious to know what she had in mind, Aaron took down the venue of their meeting before ending the call. Having heard the voice over the phone, Nico curled her lips. He's definitely something. If I hadn't already fallen for someone, there might be a chance I’ll have a crush on him.
After putting her earpiece away, she drove to their meeting venue. By the time she arrived, Aaron was already there waiting for her. With a slight grin, she gradually walked up to him.
Before Nico could say a word, Aaron asked, “Are you Nico?”
She nodded. “I am.”
