Chapter 654
Arielle had always noticed the small details, and she did not miss Vinson’s gentlemanly behavior. Her heartbeat quickened at his gallantry.
However, she was also a sensible person, so she quickly forced herself out of her moony-eyed daze.
She had been a fool too many times before. Hence, she 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 he 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 she is the daughter of my dad’s friend! Well, my dad found out about it very quickly, and he 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 he was hiding.
Heartless assh*le! Am I even a friend to him? How
could he 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 her 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 her with interest as she 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…”
