Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189 Incorrigible

Cindy had dropped off the invitation earlier, and the butler had reminded Arielle several times about the party after that. It was utterly coincidental that Yvette’s birthday party fell on the following day.

She had resolved to not only avoid it but to retaliate instead.

If Arielle missed this opportunity, she did not know when the next one would arise or if she would even be able to come by one. This was her best shot to clear the obstacles in her way.

Arielle thought about it and immediately dialed Vinson’s number on her phone.

Vinson answered almost immediately. “What’s up?”

Arielle replied frankly, “I have a birthday party to attend tomorrow, so I don’t think I can join you at the banquet. I’m sorry.”

Vinson contemplated this for a moment, then asked, “What time is the birthday party?”

Arielle glanced down at the invitation in her hand. “Seven.”

Unfazed, Vinson replied, “That’s perfect. The banquet I want to bring you along for is at four in the afternoon. I can accompany you to the birthday party after that.”

“Wouldn’t that be too much of a rush? Why don’t you find another girl to go with you?” Arielle stammered.

Vinson replied persuasively, “I’ve already gotten someone to tailor the gown to your measurements. It’ll be too late to ask someone else. Why don’t you come with me, and then I’ll keep you company at the birthday party after that?”

Vinson was afraid that Arielle would refuse, so he hastily added, “You did promise me, after all. Take it as repayment for what I did to get the diary for you.”

At the thought of how Vinson had risked his life for the diary, Arielle felt it was impossible to reject Vinson. Clenching her jaw, Arielle agreed reluctantly, “All right.”

“I’ll send a car over to pick you up at three in the afternoon tomorrow then,” Vinson said cheerfully.

“OK,” Arielle replied. She suddenly remembered her conversation with Susanne a few hours ago, and began, “Tonight…”

Arielle shut her eyes. As she let her thoughts wander, a clever plan suddenly struck Arielle like a bolt out of the blue.

Pleased with the ingenuity of the plan, Arielle fell asleep to the lullaby of the gentle breeze blowing in from the window.

The next day when she awoke, Arielle bumped into Henrick first thing in the morning.

Henrick had risen early in preparation to head to the office. Poring over the accounts last night had left Henrick satisfied with the returns, and he strode down the stairs with a beam on his face.

At the sight of Arielle, Henrick smiled fondly, then asked, “You’re up early. Why not sleep in a little longer?”

Arielle flashed him a bright smile. “I had an early night, and I’m well-rested. Dad, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”

Jovially, Henrick replied, “What is it? I’ll do whatever I can help you with!”
