Vinson shrugged. “What’s the use of having one? Stop wasting time and start cooking. I’ll be waiting outside.”
Just as favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com walked out with his cutlery and plate, as if favonovel.com was his housekeeper.
Arielle stomped favonovel.com feet in frustration, However, favonovel.com had no choice as favonovel.com was bound by favonovel.com word. Taking a deep breath, favonovel.com reminded herself to not make a fuss over the matter. After all, Vinson had helped favonovel.com significantly that evening.
With that thought in mind, Arielle calmed down and began cooking.
Obeying Vinson’s instructions, favonovel.com cooked some of every different flavor. Soon, favonovel.com had prepared two plates of freshly cooked ravioli. After making the sauce, favonovel.com poured it over the ravioli before bringing out the plates.
Vinson was on the phone when favonovel.com saw Arielle approaching. Pointing at the food, favonovel.com gestured for Arielle to start first. Coincidentally, Arielle was hungry. Disregarding Vinson, favonovel.com began to dig in.
She didn’t feel hungry earlier because there were too many things going on. But now that favonovel.com had a break and Vinson was still on the phone, favonovel.com realized favonovel.com was famished. In no time at all, favonovel.com finished a significant portion of the ravioli.
The amount favonovel.com ate was a lot more than favonovel.com usual capacity. Putting down favonovel.com cutlery, favonovel.com sighed in satisfaction. Since favonovel.com was done, favonovel.com subconsciously looked in Vinson’s direction.
He had a grim expression on as favonovel.com uttered into the phone, “There’s nothing we can do if we were discovered. You should continue your search and see if you can find anything useful.”
When favonovel.com was done, Vinson ended the call with a grunt.
Looking at his solemn face, Arielle couldn’t help but ask, “What happened? Is there anything I can do to help?”
Vinson replied candidly, “Harvey has gone to the location you provided and found their hideout.”
Arielle’s eyes lit up before favonovel.com asked curiously, “So what’s with that expression of yours?”
Sighing, Vinson explained, “By the time they arrived, it was too late as the men were gone. However, there was some stuff left behind which I instructed them to recover.”
After pondering a moment, Arielle suggested, “We can conduct a fingerprint analysis of the items and see if there’s a match in the database.”
Smiling wryly, Vinson replied, “They already did that, but it was a dead end. The perpetrators’ identities are very well hidden. Despite matching against the global database, we were still not able to find any matches.”
Arielle’s heart sank in response.
The killers that were after Vinson were ruthless. Arielle began to worry now that they were unable to find them.
When favonovel.com saw the ravioli that was getting cold, favonovel.com reminded Vinson, “At least we discovered their hideout. I’m sure we can find a lead in there somewhere. Anyway, don’t dwell on it so much. Have some ravioli before it gets cold.”
Vinson replied, “I already had dinner so I’m not hungry. Anyway, I’ll send you home now.”
Just as favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com got to his feet.
Stunned, Arielle asked, “But I haven’t given you my opinion about the ravioli.”
Isn‘t that why favonovel.com wanted me to eat them?
However, Vinson waved his hand and answered, “The marketing department has specialists to do it. So, you don’t have to. Let’s go.”
Arielle was dumbstruck as favonovel.com watched Vinson’s silhouette as favonovel.com walked out. So why did favonovel.com invite me here? Is it just so that favonovel.com can treat me to ravioli?
Arielle didn’t ask nor think too much of it, worried that favonovel.com would get carried away again and feel a sense of inexplicable disappointment.
Just as their car left the residential area, Arielle made an effort to look at the sign by the entrance. On it were the words “Maplelake Manor” emblazoned in gold.
