He sat up straight abruptly. The grasp he had on his phone quivered with an expression of disbelief on
his face.
It was the first time the two women had seen such an expression on him. They leaned in for a closer
look at his phone.
They merely saw the beautiful face of a girl on the screen. Her beauty gave a strong impression, carving
her every detail into their memory.
The two women exclaimed, “This girl is so beautiful! Do you know her, Aaron?”
Aaron didn’t reply to them, but the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
He was too busy recently that he forgot about the kitten he met in Chanaea.
Unexpectedly, his kitten was proficient in diffusing bombs and piano.
Perfect! As expected of my kitten indeed!
He rose from his luxurious throne-like chair and made a call as he paced, ignoring the two women.
“That girl in Chanaea I’ve asked you to find out. Why haven’t I received anything on her yet?”
The subordinate on the receiving end answered respectfully, “Mr. Aaron, I have sent you a copy of the
findings to your mailbox. I’ll send you another copy.”
The call ended, and Aaron soon received a new mail.
The email had labeled the girl’s previous resume and her latest whereabouts.
“Jadeborough University.” Another smile curled on Aaron’s lips.
To his surprise, she had a rough past. She was kidnapped and sold to a rural town when she was
younger, but she made her way back to Jadeborough. She is the epitome of a damsel in distress waiting
for my rescue.
Aaron left his castle-like house and got in his car. However, two bodyguards stopped him before he could
drive off.
“Apologies, Mr. Aaron. We were ordered not to let you leave.”
Aaron frowned. “Why?”
The bodyguards exchanged glances. “The Duke was not satisfied with the way you implemented your
last mission. So, you’re ordered to stay at home till the collaboration with the Duke ends, for the Duke
fears you might mess it up.”
The creases on Aaron’s forehead deepened.
“I’m not going to look for the Duke. I’m helping him
search for a pianist. Didn’t he like playing the piano? I’ll bring her to meet him.”
The bodyguards stand firm with their decision. “Apologies, Mr. Aaron. You can’t leave.”
Aaron’s face darkened.
These two have decent skills. I can overpower them and escape if I try my hardest. But the problem is I
will definitely get caught.
After a brief hesitation, Aaron said, “Bring me to him. I’ll talk to him myself.”
Arielle asked around and found out Donovan was in the lecturers’ dorm.
She couldn’t reach Donovan through her phone, so she came looking for him. She knocked on his door.
If she didn’t apply for leave before her departure, Donovan would find fault with her once she comes
back.
Donovan had changed into his pajamas, ready to turn in for the night in his room. He was experiencing
insomnia recently. He needed at least two hours of shut-eye before he could fall asleep.
Unexpectedly, someone knocked on his door. He got up from the bed annoyingly to greet his late-night
visitor.
A complicated look arose on his face, seeing Arielle outside his door.
He didn’t understand his feelings toward her.
However, he could feel something blossoming deep within a corner of his heart when he saw her
knocking on his door late at night.
That feeling made him anxious and scared.
Donovan’s face turned hostile. “What are you doing in front of my room so late at night?”
His words made him realize the peculiarity of Arielle’s arrival.
The kind which could induce dirty thoughts.
But all Donovan felt was glee.
