A Beauty With Multiple Masks
Arielle nodded meekly and hastily walked toward the elevator.
That‘s it. I have to be extra careful from now on. I can‘t be acting so recklessly in front of Vinson!
Frankly, Arielle was terrified of riling Vinson up, which made her all the more cautious about her words
and actions.
Instead of keeping up with Arielle, Vinson turned around to face the still quivering Rayson.
“If you tell anyone about this, there will be dire consequences.”
Rayson broke out in a cold sweat as he stammered, “N No, I won‘t. In fact, I didn‘t see anything at all!”
Wasn‘t it just playful teasing between a husband and wife? Why am I suffering because of that?
Thankfully, Vinson had no intention to take the matter further and sauntered away after dropping the
warning.
Rayson heaved a sigh of relief and quickly followed behind at a distance.
Once in the elevator, he couldn‘t help but steal glances at Arielle.
So this is how much Mr. Nightshire dotes on Ms. Moore. No matter how much she hits or scolds him, he
still wouldn‘t bat an eyelid. I‘d better not offend her in
the future. Otherwise, who knows what‘ll happen to me?
Arielle felt the weight of Rayson‘s stare and whipped her head around to him. “Is something wrong?”
“N–Not at all!” Rayson stuttered. “I was just thinking that the two of you should find time to hold the
wedding.”
Upon hearing that, Arielle tensed up immediately.
“He‘s right,” Vinson chimed in. “Other than him, no one else knows that we‘ve gotten married. We should
find an opportunity to announce it to the world.”
Moreover, a marriage doesn‘t feel as complete when there aren‘t witnesses. As my wife, Arielle deserves
the most extravagant wedding ever!
“W–We‘ll see…”
Arielle still had many things to accomplish, but most importantly, she had to gain Susanne‘s approval.
However, now that Henrick was serving his sentence, she no longer needed to hide her identity.
In other words, it was time to shed the masks that she had been hiding behind.
When the elevator doors opened, Arielle marched out without hesitation while Vinson walked beside
Rayson. “Look up all the wedding resources and send me a collated list,” Vinson said in a hushed tone.
“Understood!” Rayson replied, all fired up. It looks like I had hit the bullseye with my spur–of–the–
moment remark!
That said, Rayson was aware it wouldn‘t be an easy task. Not only did he have to gather all the
information, but he also had to filter out only the ones worthy of Vinson‘s consideration. If he wanted to
do a good job, he‘d have to spend a considerable amount of time and effort on it.
Having made up his mind, Rayson wasted no time in calling up the secretary‘s office.
“I need the secretary‘s office to take over my duties for the next few days. I have something important to
work
on.”
Naturally, everyone was puzzled.
“Why? What work is so important that you need a few days off? The projects you‘re currently handling
are all just as important.”
“Ha!” Rayson replied with an enigmatic smile. “Trust me, this task I have is far more important than any
of those projects!”
With that, Rayson ended the call before anyone from the secretary‘s office could turn him down.
What a joke. What else could be more important than planning for Mr. Nightshire‘s wedding?
Meanwhile, Arielle had returned to Josee‘s ward to fetch Nigel and Teddy.
Even though Josee was alone, Nigel knew she’d be in the good hands of the nurses and caregivers, so it
didn‘t bother him as much to leave her.
Ever the eagle–eyed boy that he was, it didn’t take long for Teddy to notice the red marks on Vinson‘s
face. “Vinnie, who hit you?”
Rayson, who had just entered the ward, froze in his tracks.
Oh, my goodness! Of all the things to say, he had to bring that up?
