Chapter 1490 A Couple
When Vinson checked his watch and realized that it was time to pick Arielle up, he left Harvey’s place and headed to the medical school.
Meanwhile, when Nico, who had already arrived, saw him leaning against his car, her heart began to flutter. Somehow, she felt the man before him was not who he claimed he was. Even though he was just a bodyguard, the aura he emitted was more distinguished than that of Aaron, who was already a prince.
After tidying up her hair that was messed up by the wind, she swaggered up to Vinson with a smile. “Hi, what a coincidence to see you again.”
Upon hearing her voice, Vinson looked up and shot her a glance before retracting his gaze.
After all, he wasn’t bothered about anyone he deemed irrelevant.
When Nico saw how he blatantly ignored her, she broke into a smirk.
Do you think I would give up that easily? Never! Whatever I want, regardless of someone or something, I’ll definitely have them.
“You must be waiting to pick Arielle up. I already found out that she’s nothing but your employer.” Smiling slightly at Vinson, Nico added generously, “If you’re willing to be my bodyguard, I’ll pay you five times what your current salary is.”
Even though Vinson continued to ignore her, Nico wasn’t disheartened at all. In fact, the more he disregarded her, the more intense her interest in him became.
“If you’re not willing to be my bodyguard, why don’t we be friends instead?” she asked while maintaining her vibrant smile.
“You’re being annoying.”
Initially, Vinson had no intention of talking to her. However, her incessant badgering caused him to lose his patience.
Nico blushed in response, for this was the first time in her life someone had complained that she was being too noisy.
Oh, my God! He’s so cool when he does that. This is too much for me!
“In that case, let’s be friends and I won’t bother you.” Nico stared at him with admiration as her interest in him kept growing with every passing moment.
After giving her the side-eye, Vinson retracted his gaze.
Other than Arielle, he would not befriend any other woman.
“Shall we exchange contacts?” Just as she spoke, Nico handed her phone over, hoping that he would input his number into it. In response, Vinson continued to ignore her.
Despite putting her phone away, she continued to gawk at him.
Just then, Arielle walked out of the school and raised her brow upon the scene that greeted her. Has her pursuit of Vinson brought her here?
Monitoring the school’s entrance the entire time, Vinson hurried over to her side the moment he spotted Arielle. After taking her bag from her, he escorted her to the car.
Watching Vinson throughout, Nico was filled with indignance when she saw him go beyond his duties as a bodyguard to carry Arielle’s bag for her. Consequently, she walked up to Arielle and admonished her, “He’s your bodyguard, not your nanny. Carrying your bag for you isn’t within his job scope. Next time, you should hold your own bag and not get him to do it.”
“He’s my man, so I can get him to do whatever I want. Besides, how is this any of your business?” Arielle asked with a raised brow while trying to hold back a smile.
Nico was infuriated. What does she mean that he’s her man? He’s nothing but her bodyguard. Why is she making their relationship sound so intimate? In fact, someone not in the know would assume both of them are a couple!
“What you’re doing violates the labor laws!” Nico snapped, directing a hostile glare at Arielle.
“So what?” Arielle raised her brows. “Does he look like he’s being forced to do it?”
Stung by the words, Nico turned her attention toward Vinson and noticed the affection in his eyes.
