Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 135
Arielle really liked Iris—an active girl who treated everyone sincerely. She did not ask further but just simply acknowledged her text message, knowing that Iris wanted to keep her in suspense. After washing up, she went downstairs calmly.
She was guessing Henrick would be waiting for her since the location of the shoot was at Southall Group.
Just as she had expected, the moment she walked into the living room, Henrick was already there, reading newspaper on the couch.
Alerted by the footsteps, Henrick turned his head, all smiles. “My darling daughter is up? Soir Coffee contacted me an hour ago to ask for my permission to use our premises as a filming set. Fortunately for them, it’s not a hectic period at the office, so I gave them the green light. I’ll go to the company with you and take a look at how the shoot will be done.”
Arielle responded obediently with a sweet smile, “Sure.”
She scanned the living room and Cindy was nowhere to be seen. “Where’s Aunt Cindy?”
“Oh… She’s been learning how to do business with me over the years. Now that I’m accompanying you to the shoot today, I’ve deputized her to monitor some projects.”
“She… as your deputy? Dad, I don’t know if I should say this…” Arielle said with a hint of dread.
“Go ahead.” He looked at her with a gentle gaze.
Arielle shared, “When I was in the countryside, I’ve seen many women betrayed their men after having a taste of wealth and power. Dad, you should take note of these things and don’t hand over all of your business to others. I’m not doubtful of Aunt Cindy’s character, but isn’t it safer to remain wary than to be sorry later? What do you think?”
Henrick waved his hand. “Rest assured that your Aunt Cindy only has a soft spot for me. Whatever you’ve said won’t happen. I know what to do. Don’t worry about these things.”
Even though Henrick said so verbally, he was reminding himself deep down to be more vigilant.
It’s funny how a gullible girl like Arielle can think of such things whereas I’ve not paid attention to it. Perhaps it’s time to watch out for Cindy.
“That’s great.” Arielle pretended not to take the matter to heart.
However, she knew that her analogy would sow a seed of suspicion in Henrick’s heart as he had always been a skeptical person. With this seemingly unintentional reminder, Arielle believed that Henrick would start to be more cautious around Cindy.
When the time is right, Arielle would expose the love affairs between Cindy and Matthias and send the Southalls into a frenzy of rage.
“Oh, yes, there’s one more thing I forgot to tell you. Mr. Nightshire suggested for me to acquire some knowledge in business if I were to be his girlfriend. Do you…”
“That’s easy!” Henrick interrupted her, “Come with me to the company once you’re done shooting for Soir Coffee. As his fiancée, you should indeed learn about trading. This will equip you to help him out in the future.”
At that moment, Henrick had completely forgotten how much he loathed for women to get involved in business back then.
Marrying any ordinary rich man was incomparable to marrying into the Nightshire family. Though Henrick had suspected something between Arielle and Vinson, he never took it seriously. It was something he could only dream. Thinking that the faint thought in the past could now become his dream come true made him unbelievably happy.
Needless to say, learning something other girls don’t know will give Arielle that added value and advantage to be married into the Nightshires, an extraordinary family.
In his excitement, he was tremendously satisfied with his daughter, Arielle.
He then thought about Maureen. That woman was so strict. She never consumed any salty or oily food, and we’ve only slept together once from the day we got married till the day she died. Yet, she’s given me such a pleasant surprise, my good-natured daughter.
