Chapter 911
In Jadeborough University’s library archive.
After reading through the files for over an hour, Arielle’s eyes were starting to hurt.
Thus, she stood up and stretched, thinking of buying bread to stop her stomach from growling.
However, just as she stepped out of the library, she heard someone ask the student in front of her, “Hello, may I know if Arielle’s in the library?”
Arielle instantly snapped her head toward the source of the voice. It was then she saw two towering men talking to a student with smiles on their faces.
Narrowing her eyes, she began studying the two men.
Although they were wearing casual clothes, something about the way they carried themselves was strange to Arielle.
I sense a murderous intent from them, she realized, feeling startled.
Immediately, she turned to walk back into the library, but in the next second, the student pointed at her and said, “Are you looking for Arielle Moore? She’s right there.”
Arielle halted in her tracks. Knowing that she could not hide anymore, she spun around to look into the men’s eyes and questioned, “Who are you? Why are you looking for me?”
Both men were stunned to see her, but they were quick to let a smile return to their lips. “Arielle, here’s the thing. We’re Mr. Nightshire’s friend, and since Mr. Nightshire helped us out the other time, we were thinking of treating him to a meal as a token of gratitude. However, he’s in Horington right now, so he asked us to come to you instead. Won’t you have a meal with us?”
“I’m sorry; I’m not free. You should wait for Vinson to meet you himself.” As she spoke, she began walking past them.
However, just as she walked past them, one of the men grabbed her wrist.
“Arielle, there’s no need for such courtesy. If you don’t want to have a meal, why don’t we treat you to a cup of coffee instead? We really have to express our gratitude to Vinson.”
“He’s right.” The other man grabbed her other wrist as well. “There’s no need to be so polite with us, Ms. Moore.”
