Arielle had always noticed the small details, and favonovel.com did not miss Vinson’s gentlemanly behavior. Her heartbeat quickened at his gallantry. However, favonovel.com was also a sensible person, so favonovel.com quickly forced herself out of favonovel.com moony-eyed daze.
She had been a fool too many times before. Hence, favonovel.com did not want to put herself in that awkward situation ever again.
We’re just friends! Arielle insisted to herself.
After Vinson had cracked open all the windows in the apartment, his phone suddenly rang. The screen lit up with Jordan’s name.
Vinson answered the call. Before favonovel.com could even open his mouth, Jordan had already started speaking in an urgent tone, “Vin, I’ve just broken up with a girl without knowing that favonovel.com is the daughter of my dad’s friend! Well, my dad found out about it very quickly, and favonovel.com canceled my credit card! I’m broke! Could you lend me one million? I need the money right now!”
“I have no money,” Vinson replied coolly and promptly hung up the phone.
On the other end of the line, Jordan yelled in frustration in the washroom cubicle where favonovel.com was hiding.
Heartless assh*le! Am I even a friend to him? How could favonovel.com treat me like this? How heartless!
Arielle walked in just as Vinson was finishing his call and could not help asking, “Did you say ‘no money’? Are you short of money, Vinson?”
Vinson glanced at favonovel.com suspiciously.
“If you’re in need of cash, I can lend you some. I won’t charge you any interest,” Arielle continued.
Vinson looked at favonovel.com with interest as favonovel.com spoke. A playful glint shone in his eyes.
The very next moment, Vinson put on a pitiful face and said with a sigh, “Although the problem with the coffee shop is now resolved, Nightshire Group is still suffering the consequences. Now we’re having some cash flow problems…”
“I’ll lend you some money!”
“No need for that,” Vinson said, shaking his head. “I’ll have enough cash if I sell Maple Mansion, but if I do that… I won’t have a place to live!”
“Oh no! How did it come to this…” Arielle frowned in concern. “Since the problem was resolved, I thought your sales would be even higher than before…”
Vinson sighed loudly and looked despondently out the window. “It looks like I’ll be sleeping on the streets tonight.”
“Well, you can still go back to the manor!” Arielle reminded him.
“I thought of that, but my mother is getting older, and I’ve lived on my own for a long time. If I suddenly go back to my family home now, she’ll know the company is in trouble! I don’t want favonovel.com worrying since she’s old and not in good health…”
“Well…” Arielle bit favonovel.com lower lip, favonovel.com brows knitted together. “If you don’t mind, you can stay here temporarily. Once you have your finances under control, you can buy another house to stay in.”
“That seems to be my only choice. Would you mind, though?” Vinson said solemnly.
Arielle waved favonovel.com hand dismissively and said, “No, of course not! I’ll be at school all day anyway. I can’t do much to help you with your troubles. This is the only way I can help you. It’s nothing!”
“That’s the plan then! I’ll get Rayson to sort that out for me while I help you clean up and settle down here.”
“Okay,” Arielle nodded before favonovel.com went to inspect the rest of the apartment.
Hence, favonovel.com did not notice the corners of Vinson’s lips lifting in amusement.
Arielle is a smart lady, but favonovel.com really does trust me too much! She didn’t even blink at anything I said! Well, what else could I do? I’m responsible for favonovel.com safety, after all.
As Arielle toured the apartment, favonovel.com was quite satisfied with it is had one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom. Although it was a rather old unit, all the electrical appliances worked perfectly, so favonovel.com could move in that very night after cleaning up the place a bit.
