Chapter 1081 Call Me Darling
Arielle and Selena had a good chat, as they were considered friends.
The two conversed for a long while, updating each other about recent events.
Besides the Wilhelms, only Selena and the president knew about Arielle going back to the country to seek vengeance.
Selena looked concerned as she asked, “Have you settled what you intended to do? I’ve already hidden all your records as you’ve asked. I’m not sure if it’s helpful to you.”
“Yes, it helped me greatly although the matter is only half-finished. But there’s no need to help me hide my identity any longer.”
If the remaining opponents were as formidable as Vinson had described, they would be able to find out the truth even if I were to hide my identity. It’s better to lay it all out in the open.
Hearing this, the vice president nodded. “You saved our labs, so let us know if you need our help in the future. I’ll help you as long as it’s within my means.”
Arielle smiled in gratitude. “How is Mr. Lambert doing now?” she inquired as he came into her mind.
Selena gave Arielle another appreciative smile when she brought up the president. “Thanks to the robotic pacemaker you developed, Mr. Lambert’s heart disease has been cured. However, the doctor advised him to rest in bed for three months due to his old age. If he was a young man, he could’ve been discharged after two weeks.”
She then added, “There will be a thesis defense for the students who’ve delayed their studies tomorrow. Would you like to attend it?”
“For students who’ve delayed their studies?”
“Yes,” replied Selena. “I would like you to take over Mr. Lambert’s position as temporary president. I believe you’ll make the same decision as him.”
In other words, she was giving her the power to decide the passing or failure of the thesis defense.
Arielle had intended to reject the offer. However, she nodded in agreement when she suddenly thought of Donovan. “Okay.”
Just as she was about to take out the photo of her mother and the mysterious man, Vernon knocked on the door and entered.
“Dinner is ready at the restaurant in the east building.”
Arielle nodded before reluctantly placing the photo back into her pocket.
While they were heading toward the restaurant, she received a call from Vinson.
“Hello?”
“Why didn’t you tell me that you’ve arrived?” He sounded upset.
Arielle hurriedly replied, “I assumed Sasha would’ve notified you of my arrival.”
“She did inform me that you’ve arrived safely, but I would much rather hear it from you.”
Hearing that, Arielle could not help but smile fondly as she said in a sweet voice, “Got it. I’ll say it now, okay? Vinson, I’ve arrived.”
“Huh? Shouldn’t you be calling me Darling?”
“Don’t push your luck,” she huffed, her cheeks burning up.
“This is a reasonable request from your husband. Call me Darling. Quickly now.”
Perhaps it was because they were miles apart, but Vinson had the urge to hear her call him affectionately.
By now, Arielle was blushing furiously. Ms. Selena and Mr. Curie are both beside me. Not only that, Ms. Selena is fluent in eight languages. She can definitely understand the pet name, so how can I say it out loud?
Having no other choice, she quickly made up an excuse. “I’m busy now. I’ll call you back later.”
She then ended the call.
However, Arielle immediately noticed the nosy look on Selena’s face out of the corner of her eye. “Your boyfriend?” the vice president inquired.
Her face instantly reddened. “Sort of…”
Why do I feel as though I was caught by a teacher for engaging in puppy love?
