Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me
Unsure as to how to continue this conversation, Arielle paused before she asked, “What’s your name?”
“Alexandra. Alexandra Jeannot.”
Arielle acknowledged that with a nod. “Then I shall call you Sasha. You don’t have to worry about
anything. Just rest up and get well. Blake may still be alive. I’ll send someone out to find him.”
Sasha’s eyes lit up when she heard what Arielle said, and it was then that Larissa knocked and entered.
“Mr. Southall’s asking for you, Ms. Arielle.”
“Understood.” Arielle then got back to her feet. “Take care of her.”
“Rest assured that I will.”
Arielle nodded before she made her exit to the living room where Henrick awaited.
He frowned when she approached and castigated her, “Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you
all day!”
Arielle bowed her head and came across a little aggrieved. “I went to the backyard to leave some flowers
for Shandie.”
There was not much Henrick could have reasonably said to that. “Your grandmother has just woken up.
She hasn’t eaten anything all day and refused to have anything that the servant brought up. Go make
her some ravioli again; she seems to quite fancy those.”
The cheery-looking Arielle appeared to be quite amenable to what was proposed. “So as long as it
pleases her, I’ll get down to it right away.”
After that, she hurried off.
Her lips twitched at the smack of satisfaction she saw on Henrick’s face, which was reflected in the glass
pane she passed by before she strode into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, several chefs lined up and were on standby at the side, presumably having been notified
to do so earlier.
Arielle addressed them candidly, “I’ll take it from here; all of you may go.”
Not daring to defy her, the chefs made a swift exit.
She then went on to rummage through the fridge and casually put together a few ingredients before she
proceeded to prepare the filling.
As she worked, she also made a call to her own subordinates.
The call got through quickly and an obsequious voice came through the other side. “Ms. Sannie.”
Arielle was prompt to cut to the chase. “Did we manage to catch Matthias outside of the psychiatric
hospital?”.
“Not yet. I’m guessing that he hasn’t received the news. But I’ve set up a surveillance camera outside
Cindy’s room so that I’ll be able to know the second he shows
up.”
“Good,” said Arielle in satisfaction. “Try to spread the word about Cindy’s admission, and also…”
She continued as she deftly chopped the spinach, “There are two more tasks that I need done.”
Her subordinate replied respectfully, “Please instruct
us.”
Arielle kept the order to locate Blake concise and also directed them to seek out a little boy named Teddy
at the old Southall estate.
“Go to him with my photograph and he’ll pass you something which you must bring back to me.”
“Understood!”
The filling for the ravioli was done by the time the call concluded.
As there were already pasta sheets available in the manor, Arielle simply called upon two of the chefs to
fold the filling in, and soon, a plate of piping hot ravioli was ready for her to present to Malorie personally.
Henrick happened to be inside Malorie’s room as well when Arielle came through the door. He said
smilingly, “Arielle has made you ravioli, Mom. Would you like to have some?”
Malorie’s eyes widened slightly when she heard that and she replied rather reluctantly, “Bring it to me.”
When Arielle brought it before her, the matron did not even take one look at her. She simply sampled a
piece from the plate which she received before her forehead creased into a furrow. “This is positively
awful! Are you doing this on purpose? Do you mean to starve me to death?”
Arielle widened her eyes innocuously. “I followed the same recipe that I used before, Grandma…”
