The protesters were about to confirm it was indeed Vinson when they heard Arielle’s words. One of
them laughed. “Vinson Nightshire? That’s just a real estate agent. Come on, let’s find that ambassador.
It’s easy to spot her in the crowd.”
With that, they spread out and ignored Arielle and Vinson.
Though Arielle was fooling around with Vinson, she kept an eye on their surroundings.
After making sure those men weren’t coming after them, she heaved a sigh of relief silently.
They stayed in this position until they arrived at the exit and saw the security guards of the shopping
mall arresting the men at the door.
Both of them exited the shopping mall without any
hiccups.
However, more people wearing white bandannas were swarming toward the shopping mall.
As Arielle was racking her brain trying to figure out how to leave without alerting those men, an MPV
screeched to a halt before them.
The car window rolled down to reveal Carter’s face.
“Get in!” he yelled.
Arielle instantly relaxed. She released Vinson and
hopped into the vehicle swiftly.
Vinson came in after her.
Vroom! With a loud roar, the car sped away.
In the car, Carter glanced at them through the rearview mirror and laughed. “Chief, if I hadn’t seen the
surveillance cameras, I wouldn’t have recognized you. Your disguise is awesome!”
“Thanks,” Arielle said and took off her cap coolly. “Let’s go to the hospital now.”
“Sure!” Carter nodded. Ignoring the lights, he floored the accelerator as his expression scrunched up in
anguish.
I might have to retake my driving test to get my driver’s license back. Ah, this is more important than
my driver’s license. I can ask my chauffeur to drive me around anyway.
In the backseat, Vinson scanned Arielle carefully and made sure she was fine before letting out a sigh
of relief. He chuckled and said, “I’ve never seen you in this
style.”
Arielle shot him an exasperated look. “How dare you laugh at me? If I wasn’t smart enough to put on a
disguise, we would’ve been beaten up by those thugs by now.”
Though she was skilled in combat, there was no way
she could defeat a bunch of men alone.
The smile on Vinson’s lips disappeared as he ruffled her hair affectionately. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have
laughed at you. You’re the smartest person I’ve ever seen.”
As a tickling sensation spread all over her scalp, Arielle felt her heart racing.
She let out a dry cough and slapped his hand away. “Don’t touch me!”
Before Vinson could answer, Carter pressed the button to raise the partition between them.
Two seconds before the partition closed completely, his voice rang out, “I refuse to listen to your PDA.”
Arielle’s embarrassment heightened. She didn’t even dare to look in Vinson’s direction.
Unfazed, Vinson retracted his hand and uttered, “This isn’t a big deal. You shouldn’t have come. What
if something happens to you?”
“Your problem isn’t a big deal?” Arielle’s brows furrowed in displeasure. “I don’t like it when you act this
way. When I was in trouble, you’d offer help at once. But when you’re in trouble, you don’t even tell me
about it. Don’t you see me as a friend?”
Vinson gulped at her words. He wanted to say that he never thought of them as friends but changed his
mind instead. “I want you to be safe.”
Arielle blurted out, “I want you to be safe, too!”
