Unfortunately, the ingredients were insufficient, and Arielle had no choice but to ask for the help of Sasha and Blake.
The three of them, together with a few other bodyguards, toiled the night away until they had made enough ravioli for one hundred people.
“All right, that‘ll do,” Arielle mumbled as she stretched her limbs. With everything stored in the freezer, she turned toward Sasha and Blake. “I‘m going off to bed now. Why don‘t you two do the same? There are so many people on guard duty anyway. Besides, I‘d still need your help tomorrow.”
“Okay!” Blake exclaimed in joy. He might not have tasted the ravioli, but after seeing Arielle prepare the ingredients, he was already salivating for it.
I‘m sure they‘ll taste divine!
Arielle returned to her room, and after washing up, she decided to light the therapeutic candles that the Wilhelms had gifted her.
Before long, she fell into a deep sleep.
Unbeknownst to her, a tall figure had suddenly appeared at the entrance of Maple Mansion.
Despite Arielle‘s instructions, Sasha had stubbornly insisted on standing guard while she got Blake to retire for the night.
In the end, her guard duty had barely started when an unexpected visitor came by.
Sasha‘s eyes lit up at the familiar face in front of her. “Boss?”
Surprised but happy, she quickly went up to welcome Vinson with two bodyguards in tow.
She didn‘t believe the other bodyguards earlier when they reported that Vinson might have returned. But now that she had seen him with her own eyes, there was no mistake about it.
It was Vinson Nightshire in the flesh.
Even though it rained heavily in Horington, Jadeborough‘s skies were clear and dotted with stars.
And if it weren‘t for the thunderstorm delaying his flight, Vinson would‘ve made it home an hour earlier.
He acknowledged his staff with a nod before looking up toward Arielle‘s room.
Her room‘s all dark and quiet. I guess she‘s sound asleep.
Knowing what Vinson was looking at, Sasha spoke up. “Ms. Moore has just fallen asleep. Shall I wake her up?”
“No,” Vinson quickly answered. “I just wanted to see her. I‘ll be leaving in a while.”
