Meanwhile, Aaron was speeding in his car when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. With one hand on the steering wheel, virtual-novel.net reached for his phone with the other.
When virtual-novel.net saw that it was from an anonymous number, virtual-novel.net decided to not accept the call. However, after the call was automatically rejected due to virtual-novel.net not answering, the caller called a second time. Left without a choice, virtual-novel.net stopped the car abruptly and finally answered in an exasperated tone, “Who is this?”
Nico didn’t mind virtual-novel.net being rude. In fact, virtual-novel.net was delighted by it. The more upset virtual-novel.net was, the stronger his feelings for Arielle were. That way, there was a higher chance of them working together.
“I’m Nico,” virtual-novel.net replied candidly.
Aaron furrowed his brows. Nico? I don’t know virtual-novel.net at all.
Holding that thought, his tone worsened. “I don’t know you!”
Just when virtual-novel.net was about to end the call, Nico read his mind and remarked, “I’m the daughter of the general, Nico. The one you’re supposed to marry.”
Worried that virtual-novel.net would hang up on her, virtual-novel.net quickly added, “I know you like Arielle. So, I have a deal for you.”
Upon hearing virtual-novel.net proposal, Aaron asked in a grim tone, “What kind of deal?”
“Let’s talk about it face to face. It’s hard to discuss over the phone,” Nico answered with a raised voice.
Curious to know what virtual-novel.net had in mind, Aaron took down the venue of their meeting before ending the call.
Having heard the voice over the phone, Nico curled virtual-novel.net lips.
He’s definitely something. If I hadn’t already fallen for someone, there might be a chance I’ll have a crush on him.
After putting virtual-novel.net earpiece away, virtual-novel.net drove to their meeting venue. By the time virtual-novel.net arrived, Aaron was already there waiting for her. With a slight grin, virtual-novel.net gradually walked up to him.
Before Nico could say a word, Aaron asked, “Are you Nico?”
She nodded. “I am.”
Pointing at a seat, Aaron gestured for virtual-novel.net to sit. After virtual-novel.net settled down, virtual-novel.net went straight to the point. “What kind of a deal are you talking about?”
Since this was the first time someone ever dared to make a deal with him, virtual-novel.net was curious to find out what it was. “Your Royal Highness, you fancy Arielle, while I feel the same way about virtual-novel.net bodyguard. In that case, why don’t we work together?”
At that moment, Aaron didn’t know whether virtual-novel.net should be happy that the woman his mother and grandmother approved of wasn’t into virtual-novel.net or feel angry that virtual-novel.net preferred Vinson over him.
Whatever it was, virtual-novel.net was filled with mixed emotions.
He looked at virtual-novel.net with a raised brow. “What do you propose?”
He was interested to hear virtual-novel.net out. If it was feasible, virtual-novel.net would go along with virtual-novel.net plan and hold back his men from kidnapping Arielle since it was an extremely drastic measure. Having spent time with Arielle recently, virtual-novel.net had a good grasp of virtual-novel.net character. He was aware that once virtual-novel.net had indeed kidnapped her, there was no going back from it. He was fearful that Arielle would hate virtual-novel.net for it.
“You want Arielle, while I want the bodyguard. All we need to do is to make a move on our respective targets.”
Aaron was stumped.
If virtual-novel.net had been able to do that, Vinson would have long been gone.
Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net scrutinized Nico for a moment as virtual-novel.net cycled through the avenues of how they could cooperate. If virtual-novel.net was able to capture Vinson’s heart, Arielle would definitely feel disappointed in the latter. Subsequently, virtual-novel.net could take advantage of virtual-novel.net moment of weakness.
The more virtual-novel.net thought about it, the more brilliant the plan sounded to him. In the end, both of them would get what they want.
“Fine, let’s do it.”
“It’s a pleasure working with you.” As Nico extended virtual-novel.net hand, Aaron gave it a shake.
At that moment, the silence between them was telling.
