Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire novel Chapter 1158

Chapter 1158 Only Him

Arielle could not keep herself from smiling.

“Why didn’t you send a text to inform me that you’re back?”

After placing the cake on the table, Vinson replied, “Rayson told me you were busy, so I decided to come right over. How was it? Are you tired?”

She replied candidly, “A little.”

It was the truth, as the long day of work had her feeling utterly drained.

“I’ll bring you for a massage later.” After tousling her hair, he turned toward Glenn and exclaimed, “Happy birthday, Chef Quigley!”

Glenn widened his eyes in surprise. “H-How did you…”

Arielle, too, was taken aback.

Today’s Chef Quigley’s birthday?

Before she could say a word, Vinson added, “Arielle told me about it and even reminded me to bring a cake.”

A dozen of question marks appeared in her mind as she stiffened up.

After all, she did not even know it was Glenn’s birthday, let alone instruct Vinson to get a cake.

Nonetheless, it quickly dawned upon her what Vinson was trying to do.

He was trying to help her build a good rapport with Glenn.

Nevertheless, she was surprised by how attentive he was, to the extent of learning about her employee’s birthday.

Since he had painstakingly prepared everything, she obviously would not expose the truth.

In the event that the restaurant grew in popularity, there would naturally be many jealous competitors who would try to poach her staff away from her. As it was impossible for her to stay in the restaurant the whole time, Glenn would be the bedrock of the business. If he were to be headhunted by someone else, Maureen’s Kitchen would definitely not survive for long.

Even though she had given him a stake in the restaurant, there was always a risk of the competitors offering him more.

As a result, other than offering monetary incentives, she had to build a good relationship with her subordinates.

It was not considered Machiavellian; it was just how a businessperson should think.

That just went to show how much business acumen Vinson had.

Holding that thought, Arielle flashed a smile at Glenn. “Chef Quigley, happy birthday, and may all your wishes come true!”
