Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me
Arielle’s gaze turned soft as she said, “Don’t worry. They’re gone.”
“Gone?” Henry turned to look around, and all he saw was the stall owner cleaning up the mess.
“W-What happened?” he asked quizzically.
Just when Jared was about to say that it was Arielle who chased them away, she spoke first. “Jared’s
good. He’d already defeated all of them when I got here.”
Henry immediately turned to look at Jared with admiration. “Oh my gosh, Jared. They had machetes! No
wonder you’re one of the Jupiters. I’ll tell your grandfather about this tomorrow. You’re totally born for the
military!”
Jared turned away with mixed feelings.
I won’t ever say that I’m good at fighting and that I’m made for the military ever again. Maybe I’m just not
talented. Maybe I should listen to Harvey and Granpa and focus on my studies instead.
Not knowing what Jared was thinking about, Henry kept complimenting him.
Arielle interrupted Henry, who was talking non-stop, “It’s late. Let’s go back to campus before the school
finds out we had a fight outside.”
Henry nodded eagerly. “Yes, especially Donovan. If he finds out about this, it’s for sure you’ll be in huge
trouble. He has always been targeting you.”
Arielle gave him a faint smile. Then, they helped Henry up and went back to campus.
The campus was quiet, but Jared felt at ease.
At the same time, he felt ridiculous. He had promised Harvey that he would protect Arielle at all costs,
but the truth was, Henry and himself were the ones that ended up getting protected by Arielle.
Soon, they arrived at the dorms.
Arielle waved goodbye at both of them. “I’m going to sleep now. Remember to bring Henry to the hospital
tomorrow. You don’t want him to have any internal bleeding or anything,” she said.
However, she knew that was not likely to happen because she had secretly read their pulses earlier.
They were fine
Jared opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but nothing left his lips.
Seeing that, she pulled him to the side and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Why did you say it was me who chased them away?” Jared said awkwardly.
Arielle chuckled. “It’d be too troublesome to explain.”
“Okay.” He scratched his head and continued, “What are you going to do about this matter?”
Arielle thought for a while before she replied, “Don’t tell anyone about this first. I’ll take care of this. All
you have to do is not mention this to anyone.”
He immediately nodded. “Okay! Go back and take a rest. We should head back, too.”
He had witnessed Arielle’s capability and had decided to do whatever she told him to do.
She nodded as a response and watched the two of them leave toward the male dorm.
Trisha was asleep by the time Arielle returned to their room.
She tiptoed her way to her bed, trying her best not to wake Trisha. Before she lay down, she checked her
phone.
There were no missed calls or texts.
Arielle’s gaze dimmed as she convinced herself not to think about it anymore.
This is for the best. I don’t want Vinson to mess with my feelings any further.
Soon, she was fast asleep with the help of the therapeutic candles.
“Arielle, Arielle…”
The next day, Arielle woke up to the voice of Trisha.
