A Beauty with Multiple Masks

Chapter 19

Immediately, Arielle prepared to lash out. However, her movements came to a screeching halt when she caught sight of the man’s face.

“Mr. Nightshire? Y-you…” She stared at him and blinked in utter disbelief.

Vinson interjected before Arielle could finish speaking. “Why did you pretend not to recognize me?”

Arielle looked at Vinson with a gaze full of puzzlement. On the other hand, Vinson’s stare resembled the look of a ferocious and enraged lion.

 

Is he angry because I didn’t greet him when I walked past him earlier? Doesn’t that mean he recognized me? Then why did he act like we were strangers in the airport? He even ignored me when we were on the plane!

 

“You were the one who ignored me first! Besides, how would I dare disturb such a busy man like you?” Arielle replied in bafflement.

What on earth is he thinking? He clearly recognized me. Yet, he pretended like he didn’t. He should have continued the act. Why is he cornering and berating me for doing the same thing?

 

Arielle tried to push Vinson away to put some distance between them. “No matter what… you should let me go first. People will misunderstand if they see us like this.”

Arielle’s words seemed to go in one ear and out the other. Vinson’s gaze remained fixated intently on hers.

 

He found that her bright eyes were like pools of clear water. At the same time, her gaze was as deep as the bottomless ocean.

There wasn’t a trace of fear nor flattery present in her brilliant gaze. The only thing Vinson saw was suspicion. She treated him like he was an ordinary person.

An ordinary person… How long has it been since someone treated me this way?

“Are you angry because I couldn’t recognize you at the airport?”

“I did not get angry,” Arielle said and jutted out her bottom lip. Why would I get mad?

Vinson fell silent after he heard her answer.
