A Beauty With Multiple Masks
Chapter 146

Arielle’s eyes lit up. “We’ve regained access to control!” Vinson stopped in his tracks as soon as he saw the screen too. Arielle quickly scrambled out of his arms and ran towards the computer. She began to type rapidly across the keyboard. A second later, the computer prompted an instruction that said, “The door is open.” “It’s open!” she exclaimed excitedly. Her excitement did not last long before the ceiling began to collapse.

It all happened so quickly, even Vinson didn’t see it coming. Fortunately, Arielle was quick on her foot to avoid the ceiling from crushing on her. She somersaulted and threw herself on Vinson. Vinson was instantly pulled into reality as he grabbed her and dragged her out of the room. The ceiling collapsed to the ground the moment they stepped out of the place. It turned into ruins in the sea of fire and dust. Consequently, Arielle could hear the sound of the door on the lower floor of the building opened.

Many people shouted in joy, “It’s opened! It’s finally opened! Run!” Arielle let out a sigh as he locked eyes with Arielle. “I told you, there was no chance for us to die in here.” He smiled in relief. Vinson looked deep into her eyes and replied, “Yeah. I guess I owe you another one.” Great, now I owe her yet another one for saving my life again. She nodded, “Don’t forget to wire me the money.” I am never going to crack a “marry me” joke anymore. Or else, he’s going to say crap like I was hinting at him or something. Vinson, on the other hand, nodded solemnly. “I got it.

I’ll give you whatever’s left in my account once we get out of here.” Arielle was stunned as she could not tell if he was joking or did he mean it. Do you want to give me all your money? Well, I certainly can’t take that! “Let’s go.” She ignored him to avoid further misunderstanding as she walked towards the stairway that led to the safety tunnel. However, she suddenly thought of something as she reached the stairway. Oh yeah, I haven’t opened the secret compartment in the CEO’s office! I’m sure there wouldn’t be anyone up there. So, if I go over right now, I can replace what I want without being spotted.

She halted in her tracks and turned to Vinson. “You go ahead, I’ll meet up with you very soon.” He frowned and stared at her suspiciously. “What else do you need to do? The door’s opened.” “I have left something on the top floor and I have to get it back. Go, I’ll meet you in five minutes.” Vinson disagreed and dragged her by the arm towards the safety tunnel. “Absolutely not! I’m not going without you. No one can guarantee if this building might blow up again.

What if the entire building collapses? You have to go with me now!” Arielle tightened her grip onto the door of the safety tunnel as the other hand tried to break free from Vinson’s grip. “I’m not going anywhere until I get it! This is very important to me and this is my last chance!” Before Vinson could persuade her any further, she quickly took a step backward and closed the door. She then locked the door behind her.
