A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 399
Arielle suddenly recalled Vinson saying that her mother used to work as a guest lecturer in the university and that her mother occasionally brought Arielle along.
So this is what Vinson meant when he said that visiting familiar places of my past would help to jog my memories. It’s working! I should stay at the university
longer, then. It’s probably more effective in jogging my memory than digging for clues from more than ten
years ago.
The others did not find her knowledge of the cafeteria layout surprising. Harvey merely said, “I’ll help you with the shared dishes. Jared, Henry; the two of you can
Arielle did not refuse his offer, and they headed to the main counter to order some dishes.
The cafeteria had a vast selection of dishes to choose from, and Arielle ended up ordering eight dishes and a soup. She and Harvey carried the plates to the table where Jared and Henry were waiting.
Kelsea and Wendy happened to be in the cafeteria as well, basking in Christopher’s attention and personal food-ordering service. There was no shortage of people clamoring to assist them thanks to their beauty, even in an unfamiliar environment such as Jadeborough University.
The three of them were looking for seats in the cafeteria when a commotion broke out.
“Oh my God! That girl is gorgeous!”
Both Kelsea and Wendy smiled knowingly.
They must be talking about one of us.
Christopher did not even bother lifting his head as he said, “They must be talking about the two of you. Even the students in my year can’t stop going on and on about you two. You should start preparing your speech for homecoming queen.”
Kelsea arched her brow arrogantly while Wendy tucked a lock of hair behind her ear and said shyly, “Christopher, you’re making us blush. The campus is brimming with beautiful girls. They might not even be talking about us.”
Her words were but a show of faux modesty. Wendy was confident that the students in the cafeteria were
Kelsea is pretty, yes, but she’s so uptight. Her beauty is rather old-fashioned, I suppose.
“That’s impossible; I’m sure they’re talking about you.” Christopher finally raised his head and stared at the source of the commotion.
Wendy and Kelsea’s eyes followed the direction of his gaze out of curiosity,
To their surprise, the student who had gasped was not pointing at Kelsea or Wendy at all. “Calling her a
goddess is an understatement!”
The girls’ expressions darkened instantly when they realized that neither of them had been the subject of that student’s admiration.
Christopher seemed to catch on to their displeasure and tried to coax them, “They probably didn’t see the two of you yet.”
Kelsea and Wendy ignored him in favor of figuring out who their competitor was.
A figure moved slowly through the crowd, offering them only a glimpse of her profile, which was more than enough for Kelsea and Wendy to recognize her.
Of course it has to be Arielle!
Wendy’s jaw clenched involuntarily.
Freaking Arielle! She’s always ruining my parade! Isn’t it enough for her to steal my thunder in class? Now she’s even to trample all over me in the cafeteria? What sort of a twisted association is this?
Kelsea was not faring any better. Arielle, Arielle, Arielle! Why is she everywhere?
In the next instant, however, Kelsea’s eyes brightened as she spotted the figure next to Arielle.
Isn’t that Harvey?
Carter was always hanging out with Harvey, so she had spoken to him a few times before this.
Harvey had come across as a sort of honest fellow then. He may seem a bit stoic at times, but he’s freaking loaded. And it’s not just money; his family is super powerful as well. Since Mrs. Nightshire’s already decided on Wendy as her daughter-in-law, I’ve lost my chance with Vinson; he’s in some ambiguous relationship with Arielle anyway. It’s a good time for me to switch targets.
