Chapter 930
“Ms. Moore, Mr. Nightshire has given us the kill order. We can‘t let anything untoward happen to you again,” Sasha said with a stern expression.
Even though the Greenes‘ mercenaries were hardly a threat to Arielle, the fact that they carried guns did justify the need for added security.
Arielle replied, “Got it. You don’t all have to be on the lookout, though. Take turns for the guard duty. I doubt the Greenes would dare to send anyone back.”
“Understood.”
With that, Arielle smiled and ruffled Blake‘s hair before walking into the mansion.
Vinson‘s arrangement might have been over the top, but even Arielle had to agree that it did give her a greater sense of peace and security.
I suppose this is the advantage of having a powerful backer.
Previously, Arielle had made a lot of ravioli for Vinson and kept the leftovers in the freezer. Even after defrosting and cooking them for dinner, their taste was still impeccable.
A glint flashed across Arielle‘s eyes as she reached for her phone and rang up the manager of Maureen‘s Kitchen
“Ms. Moore!” he exclaimed as soon as he answered the
phone. “Our sales today have gone up by another fifty percent! If we keep this up, we‘ll be able to open another outlet soon.”
“That‘s what I planned on discussing with you too,” Arielle chimed in. “After this busy period, I‘d be able to focus on the preparations for a second outlet. Before that, however, I’d like to introduce a new dish for the restaurant. I‘ll swing by tomorrow after school and let the chef have a taste. If he approves of it, we can give this dish out to attract customers during the opening of the new outlet.”
“Will do. I’ll inform Glenn about it.”
Arielle had just ended the call with the manager when Trisha‘s call came in almost immediately.
Without hesitation, Arielle answered it.
“Trish?”
“Sannie, there‘s something I forgot to tell you.”
Arielle hummed as she swallowed her ravioli. “What is
it?»
“Tomorrow‘s Monday, and as usual, our school will be holding a charity auction. There will also be a flea market in the afternoon, where people usually bring
along knick–knacks or food items to sell. The money collected will either be donated to poorer students or used to build schools in the poor rural areas.”
“Oh? That‘s news to me. What about the charity auction?”
“It starts at half–past four in the auditorium. The school will auction items donated by well–known alumni, and all auction proceeds will also go toward the donations.” After a pause, Trisha added, “Do you know which rural region our school will be helping this year?”
“Which one?”
“It‘s the one where Teddy‘s from!”
Trisha had learned about Teddy from Arielle, so naturally, this piece of news excited them very much.
“Oh, wow, Teddy‘s hometown, huh?” Arielle remarked.
“Yes! So, shall we take part in the flea market tomorrow?”
“Sure!”
“What should we sell then?” Trisha asked. “Hmm… Maybe I could sell my Lego figurines.”
Arielle was still racking her brains when the sight of her ravioli gave her an idea. “Then I‘ll sell some food items.”
“Food? What kind?”
“You‘ll find out tomorrow.”
“Okay! I‘ve eaten your food before, so I‘m very much looking forward to it. I‘ll even skip tomorrow‘s lunch to support you!”
“Haha! Thank you in advance then,” Arielle replied before ending the call with Trisha.
She quickly finished her dinner and made her way back into the kitchen again.
If I‘m going to sell them, I‘ll have to make a lot more.
Since Arielle had planned on introducing her ravioli as a dish for her restaurant outlet, the flea market would provide a good opportunity for her to test out how well received it‘d be.
