Chapter 67
“Stop it,” interjected Arielle. “I’ve helped him once, and he returned my favor. We’re even now. It’s
purely business between us, so don’t get it wrong and say something like this again.”
Iris wisely shut her mouth.
Arielle rarely spoke to her that harshly, so it was evident that Arielle was mad.
Oh, I should stop gossiping.
Meanwhile, Arielle stared at the landscape in reverse motion outside as she fell deep into thought.
I don’t have time to be in a relationship. Before finding out the truth behind Mom’s death, I can’t get
distracted. Besides, I don’t think Vinson is interested in me. I even got things wrong twice.
A strangely disappointed Arielle quickly shook off her sorrow.
She wasn’t one who would overthink things and never wanted to hear similar comments again.

“I’ve contacted the person whose slot is right after yours. They agreed to reschedule their reservation
to tomorrow, so you will have the castle to yourself for today.”
“Thank you.”
“Wow, it’s really rare to hear you thank me. Is this commercial shoot that important to you?”
After a brief silence, Vinson answered, “Mm. Soir Coffee is an important project.”
“Alright. I’ll let them know about the change. I haven’t been here for a while. It’s time for an inspection.”
“Okay. See you later.”
“See ya!”
Vinson cut the line and shut his eyes to rest. Strangely, the scene of Arielle in that elegant dress
popped up in his mind.
He had a sudden urge to keep Arielle to himself so no one would see her in that dress.
An hour later, they arrived at the entrance of a castle.
The castle was located in a private park. Years ago, an Epean tycoon gave orders to build the medieval
castle.
That had been a long time ago. Flowery vines had crept up along the walls, filling the air with their
sweet breath. It was a magnificent castle that looked like it belonged in a fairytale.
This commercial was about a princess waking up feeling tired and ordering her servant to prepare a
cup of coffee for her.
As the princess was very picky, she wasn’t satisfied with the various types of coffee prepared by her
servant. In the end, the servant bought her coffee from Soir Coffee before she was satisfied.
Arielle was pleasantly surprised by how pretty the castle was.
“Oh, it’s beautiful,” she sighed.
Vinson happened to hear her praise. “If you like it, I can ask my friend to let you stay here for a few
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdays,” he blurted out without warning upon seeing how enthralled she was.
“Huh?” Arielle spun on her heels in surprise. “Is this part of your employee benefits?”
It was expensive to rent a castle like this for a commercial shoot, so she couldn’t believe it when Vinson
told her she could stay here for a couple of days.
Vinson belatedly realized what he had said and was about to add on when Harvey came toward them.
Harvey could only see the back of Arielle’s head, so he didn’t pay attention to her and teased, “Oh?
When have you ever paid so much attention to your employees? Are you seriously renting my castle
for them?”
Vinson let out an awkward cough. “Few people can afford to rent your castle. My employee here can
prevent the rooms from growing moldy and bring a breath of fresh air.”
Arielle pursed her lips.
I knew he wasn’t that kind. Turns out he wants me to suck the moldy air!
Turning toward the owner of the castle, she uttered, No need forthat. We were just jok…”
She trailed off when she realized who she was talking to.
