Vinson added, “But, you don't have to worry as have made some arrangements. As you are my guest and not a member of the Haut Monde, you don't have to participate in the chess tournament.”
However, Arielle was stunned.
Hans Jewell?My student, Hans?
Arielle had a talent for chess. During an international tournament, she had beaten Hans before.
Ever since then, Hans pestered her to be his teacher until she had no choice but to take him in as her student.
So, it seems Hans is a renowned chess player in this country What a coincidence. However, a few years have passed since then, I wonder if his skills have improved.
Lifting her gaze, Arielle requested, “In that case, can I trouble you to let the organizers know that
I want to participate in the chess tournament too? The round-robin format sounds exciting.”
When Vinson saw the sparkle in Arielle's eye, he raised his eyebrow in surprise. “Do you know how to play chess?”
“A little bit.”
Vinson fell silent.
During the acupuncture session and explosion incident, Arielle used the words “a little” too.
Therefore, he would be a fool to believe Arielle when she used the words “a little” ever again.
“Fine. Since you're keen to play, I'll let them know. Go ahead and have some hors d'oeuvres while you wait for me here. Just don't stray away.
“Alright.” Arielle let out a mesmerizing smile, causing Vinson's heart to race.
He assumed that he had a high level of selfrestraint. But, when it came to Arielle, he just couldn't keep himself in check.
It's better not to look at her so often.
Averting his gaze, Vinson went off at once.
