Chapter 177: The Devious Arnold!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Arnold was in his forties, but he was neither bald nor pot-bellied. He was bespectacled and rather decent-looking.
Victoria walked in with a smile on her face and took the initiative to reach out to Arnold. “It’s been a while, Mr. Decker.”
“Long time no see.”
Arnold also hurriedly extended his hand to give Victoria a handshake.
Feeling the beauty’s soft and slender right hand, Arnold refused to let go for a long time and even kept his eyes glued onto her.
“Victoria, you’ve become prettier again.”
The two had met before at a symposium in Toronto. At that time, Arnold just happened to have an asthma attack and didn’t have an inhaler with him.
Victoria, who was a stranger to him then, saved Arnold’s life by making him a cup of hot coffee immediately after seeing his condition.
Since then, Arnold had been in love with Victoria.
It was just a small matter for Victoria, and she was extremely nice to many men, especially C-suites.
After Victoria came to New York City, she finally came to him because she knew that Arnold harbored designs on her.
If she hadn’t been forced by Cayden, she wouldn’t want to see him at all. After all, she already has a boyfriend.
“Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Decker. You seem much healthier than before.”
Victoria ruffled her hair.
Arnold had been holding Victoria’s hand, and he had even placed his hand on hers.
Holding Victoria’s hand with both hands, he said, “I really missed the days of skiing with you in Canada three years ago, do you still remember them? You didn’t know how to ski back then. I was the one who taught you step by step by putting my arm around you from behind. It was just like teaching you to walk.”
Victoria blushed with embarrassment, and some beautiful images of the Lake Louise ski resort flashed in her mind.
There were forests, lakes, beautiful scenery of all colors, and snow.
Ever since Arnold taught her to ski, Victoria fell in love with this recreation and went skiing every winter.
Since Victoria had come to him for help this time, she didn’t have the cheek to retract her hand.
Instead, she said with a smile, “Mr. Decker, your skiing skills are at the level of professional athletes. How could I forget?”
“Now that I’m here in New York City, we can go skiing in Hokkaido during winter.”
Arnold exclaimed with a joyful grin, “Sure! Let’s go to Hokkaido together!”
“Well… uh, won’t you invite me to take a seat?” Victoria asked awkwardly.
“Oh, it’s all my fault,” Arnold said.
Knowing that Victoria would be visiting him, Arnold had long prepared some coffee and specially instructed his subordinates to buy a small red couch for Victoria.
He had also prepared plenty of comfortable cushions and flowers to express his love for her.
After Victoria sat down, Arnold asked, “How many days have you been in New York City?”
Victoria replied, “I just arrived a few days ago.”
“I heard that you have been to several companies for interviews, but why didn’t you come to me first?” Arnold asked.
Victoria knew that Arnold harbored designs on her, but he was different from other men.
