Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire
Chapter 1158

Chapter 1158 Only Him

Arielle could not keep herself from smiling.

"Why didn't you send a text to inform me that you're back?"

After placing the cake on the table, Vinson replied, "Rayson told me you were busy, so I decided to come right over. How was it? Are you tired?" She replied candidly, "A little."

It was the truth, as the long day of work had her feeling utterly drained.

"I'll bring you for a massage later." After tousling her hair, he turned toward Glenn and exclaimed, "Happy birthday, Chef Quigley!"

Glenn widened his eyes in surprise. "H-How did you..."

Arielle, too, was taken aback.

Today's Chef Quigley's birthday?

Before she could say a word, Vinson added, "Arielle told me about it and even reminded me to bring a cake."

A dozen of question marks appeared in her mind as she stiffened up.

After all, she did not even know it was Glenn's birthday, let alone instruct Vinson to get a cake.

Nonetheless, it quickly dawned upon her what Vinson was trying to do.

He was trying to help her build a good rapport with Glenn.

Nevertheless, she was surprised by how attentive he was, to the extent of learning about her employee's birthday.

Since he had painstakingly prepared everything, she obviously would not expose the truth.

In the event that the restaurant grew in popularity, there would naturally be many jealous competitors who would try to poach her staff away from her. As it was impossible for her to stay in the restaurant the whole time, Glenn would be the bedrock of the business. If he were to be headhunted by someone else, Maureen's Kitchen would definitely not survive for long.

Even though she had given him a stake in the restaurant, there was always a risk of the competitors offering him more.

As a result, other than offering monetary incentives, she had to build a good relationship with her subordinates.

It was not considered Machiavellian; it was just how a businessperson should think.

That just went to show how much business acumen Vinson had.

Holding that thought, Arielle flashed a smile at Glenn. "Chef Quigley, happy birthday, and may all your wishes come true!"

Glenn was moved to tears.

While rubbing his hands in joy and embarrassment, he replied, "Thank you, both of you."

When all the customers left an hour later, all the chefs, staff, and even the bodyguards celebrated Glenn's birthday for him.

After Glenn had blown out the candles on his cake and was urged by the younger staff to make a wish, he could not help but tear up again. "Even my son doesn't remember my birthday, but all of you did... Thank you. I'm really touched."

"Come on! We're all family here," Arielle replied. "Anyway, go ahead and cut the cake!"

With that, Glenn cut the cake into even portions.

Since the cake was big, everyone managed to get a slice.

When Vinson was not paying attention, Arielle dipped her fingers into her slice of cake and mischievously spread the cream on his face.

The man was briefly stunned before taking revenge on her the very next second.

After messing around for a while, everyone packed up and went home.

Inside the car, Arielle had drifted into a slumber from exhaustion.

By the time she opened her eyes, she was already lying on a bed.

However, she soon realized that she was in Vinson's room and not her own.

Puzzled, she rubbed her eyes and quickly sat up after confirming that she was not mistaken.

The moment she did, she heard the sound of running water from the bathroom.

Vinson was clearly bathing inside.

He's bathing...

Arielle could not help but blush.

Since their marriage was official, it was just a matter of time before they took their relationship to the next step.

Even though she wanted to use the opportunity to leave, she did not know why her legs stopped moving.

After hemming and hawing for a while, she gritted her teeth and lay back down on the bed.

Forget it! This is it! After all, I have chosen him as the man of my life.
