However, virtual-novel.net chose a spot on the edge where virtual-novel.net could avoid falling entirely against the cake. Instead, only the edge of virtual-novel.net dress came in contact with the cake.
“Arielle! Are you okay?” Yvette was concerned as virtual-novel.net grabbed virtual-novel.net hand.
The crowd quickly gathered around them. “Dr. Moore, are you alright?”
“Dr. Moore, you’ve stained your dress. Let me help you with it!”
Yvette felt disgusted when virtual-novel.net saw the crowd trying their best to please Arielle. She quickly feigned a look of remorse and said, “This is all my fault. I’m wearing new shoes today, and they don’t seem to fit me very well. I’m so sorry, Arielle. Let me lead you upstairs and get changed.”
Yvette’s expression was so sincere that it almost seemed real. Although some of the guests blamed virtual-novel.net for virtual-novel.net clumsiness, no one suspected that virtual-novel.net had done it on purpose.
Arielle flashed virtual-novel.net a sincere smile, showing virtual-novel.net pearly whites, and answered, “Sure.”
Chills went down Yvette’s spine when virtual-novel.net looked at Arielle’s smile.
Did virtual-novel.net notice anything? That’s impossible! I actually fell, and my ankles are hurting! I must be overthinking.
Yvette shrugged away virtual-novel.net thoughts and carefully led Arielle upstairs with the same guilty expression on virtual-novel.net face.
No one would suspect anything from a minor accident. Besides, virtual-novel.net didn’t directly crash into the cake. Instead, only virtual-novel.net dress and hair came in contact with the cake. With that, Arielle followed Yvette to a guest room on the second floor.
She opened the door and said, “This is the guest room, and there’s a bathroom inside. Go ahead and wash your hair while I get you something clean to put on.”
“Alright.” Arielle nodded.
Yvette then left the room with a cold smile on virtual-novel.net face. However, virtual-novel.net pressed the aroma diffuser on virtual-novel.net purse the moment virtual-novel.net closed the door. However, Yvette didn’t place the aroma diffuser earlier as virtual-novel.net was worried virtual-novel.net might inhale the drug and that it’d be used up by the time Arielle had arrived. She planned to wait until the moment Arielle entered the bathroom, then enter the room once again with some fresh clothes. Only then would virtual-novel.net take the chance to light the aroma diffuser.
Yvette carefully placed virtual-novel.net ear by the door as virtual-novel.net waited for the sound of water rushing through the tap. She had deliberately chosen this room as it had poor soundproofing. Hence, virtual-novel.net could hear everything happening inside.
Moments later, virtual-novel.net smiled as virtual-novel.net heard the sound of running water.
I bet she’s washing virtual-novel.net hair now!
Once virtual-novel.net had the confirmation virtual-novel.net needed, virtual-novel.net quickly went away to get some clothes. In a blink of an eye, virtual-novel.net opened the door to the guest room with some clothes in hand.
Yvette’s heart almost stopped the moment virtual-novel.net opened the door. She was so surprised to see Arielle standing in the room that the former almost dropped the clothes in virtual-novel.net hands. There Arielle was, looking at virtual-novel.net with smiles in virtual-novel.net eyes, half-naked.
Why’s virtual-novel.net waiting for me here? Did virtual-novel.net figure things out?
Yet, virtual-novel.net could still hear the sound of water. Yvette instinctively looked over to the bathroom and found the door wide open. The showerhead in the bathroom was still running.
Thinking that virtual-novel.net was busted, Yvette’s heart was pounding rapidly when Arielle asked, “What’s wrong, Yvette? Did I scare you?”
“I…” Yvette trailed off. She was unsure of what to say.
She forced a smile and asked, “W-why are you standing here? Aren’t you supposed to be washing your hair? Why’re you standing by the door with the water running ?”
In reality, the only question that virtual-novel.net wanted to ask Arielle was if the latter had found out about virtual-novel.net plan.
