Chapter 137 A Domineering Female CEO,A Beauty with Multiple Masks

Confused, Arielle asked, “Dad, didn’t you say you want to keep me company? Aren’t you coming in?”

Henrick coughed. “Your team is very professional, it’s best I don’t disturb your flow. I’ll go and check on

your Aunt Cindy. She isn’t familiar with certain things, so I’m afraid she can’t handle it on her own. Call

me when you’re done, I’ll treat your team to a good meal.” At that moment, Arielle realized that Henrick

started having dubious assumptions about Cindy. That was a good chance for Arielle to find out if the

secret compartment in her mother’s office was still there.

“Okay, you go ahead. I’ll look for you when I’m done.” She smiled. “Sure, have a good time. I’ll get

going.” Henrick said as he turned to leave in a rush. Obviously, he had no trust for people around him,

including his wife. A comment from others would easily sow a seed of doubt in him. Arielle thought that it

would be quite easy and yet challenging to attack people who were not resolute. She could not give

herself away in front of Henrick, otherwise, she would be suspected too.

The smile on her face remained until Henrick disappeared from her sight when the elevator door closed.

Iris did not notice the changes in Arielle’s expression. She teased her, “Ms. Sannie, do you remember my

text message? There’s a new person in charge today. Do you want to know who it is?” Arielle’s response

was slightly delayed as she was not paying attention. “Who?” To her, she could not be bothered about

the new personnel. All she wanted was a smooth day at work. Iris chuckled. Before she could say

anything, they had arrived at the top floor.

The elevator door opened, revealing a towering figure. That man outside the elevator was exceptionally

good-looking. He had a pair of deep-set eyes, a chiseled face, a defined jawline, and outstanding

features. Who else could it be if it’s not Vinson? Arielle was so stunned to see Vinson showing up at the

elevator. The next moment, she turned to Iris as she recalled her text message. Iris giggled. “Ms. Sannie,

Mr. Nightshire is the person in charge of today’s shoot.” Arielle was flabbergasted. Why is he the person

in charge? As the CEO of Nightshire Group, is he that free?

Vinson was planning to go downstairs and pick Arielle up. Seeing that she had arrived, he took a step

back and cast a look at Iris. Instantly, Iris got the cue. Keeping her head low, she scurried away and left

them alone. Confused, Arielle asked, “How did you become the person in charge? You don’t have

anything to do in your company?” Vinson replied casually, “It’s just a simple shoot that won’t take up a lot

of my time.

Moreover, I can continue working from here. I’m more worried about your performance as the

ambassador. This is a project that I place great emphasis on, don’t you mess it up.” Arielle assumed that

he came because of her. After hearing his explanation, she pursed her lips. I knew it! Thankfully, I’m

aware that he doesn’t have any feelings for me. Had I not known that, I might have thought in the wrong

direction. She answered, “I can guarantee that I won’t let you down. Let’s get started!” She had to

complete quite a bit in the afternoon due to the fact that she had requested for a half-day leave in the

morning.

It should not be too stressful to look through the to-do lists for both the morning and the afternoon tasks

in the absence of the woman who liked finding fault with her. Soon, both of them entered the CEO’s

office one after the other. When she was passing by an office, she could hear children’s laughter. She

stopped in her tracks and queried the staff, “Why are there children at the office?” The staff replied, “This

is our company policy.

Working parents are allowed to bring their children in and stay in the kids playroom. With a specialized

person taking care of the children, employees can be more devoted to their work.” Arielle nodded. When

the staff left, she turned to Vinson and commented, “I didn’t expect that my dad is quite… humane to his

employees.” “Humane?” Vinson chuckled as if he had just heard a joke. Dumbfounded, she asked,

“Why? What are you laughing at? Did I say anything wrong? It’s not easy for females to find a suitable

job after becoming a mother.

He’s willing to hire them and accommodate their needs by setting up a kids playroom. Isn’t that a

humane move?” Vinson shook his head. “That’s what you think when you don’t know the full story.

Henrick did employ working mothers, but he pays them according to part-time wages although their

workloads are more than full-time staff. This isn’t a humane move, but an act of oppression. Do you

really think that the playroom has a conducive environment?” As soon as Arielle heard that, she opened

the door to the playroom and was immediately greeted by a pungent stench of pee and poop lingering in

the air. Some of the kids were playing by themselves but a majority of them were crying.

The so-called ‘specialized staff’ was seen sitting at the side, playing games on her mobile phone. Arielle

was dumbfounded. There’s nothing humane about this whole situation. In fact, it’s a form of oppression

in disguise. She was horrified at the sight. Yet, she was not too surprised that it happened because it did

seem like something Henrick would do. How selfish and immoral could he be to recruit employees

through such despicable means? Arielle made a firm decision to reorganize Southall Group back to what

was originally Moore Group.

Regardless of whether Mom’s death has anything to do with Henrick, it’s an indisputable fact that he has

snatched away Mom’s business empire. I must take possession of Southall Group! “Let’s go.” Arielle’s

face darkened as she went ahead to the CEO office. Vinson had no idea why she suddenly looked glum;

he suspected it was related to Henrick. He blurted, “If you beg me when I’m in a good mood, I can help

you teach Henrick a lesson.” “No need. I can handle it myself.” Arielle appreciated Vinson’s good

intentions even though she did not express it so.

The CEO office was the last room at the end of the hallway. It was extremely spacious and nicely

decorated with French windows and potted plants. Compared with the dirty and smelly playroom, they

are worlds apart. Iris quickly approached Arielle. “Ms. Sannie, the equipment have all been set up.

Please come with me to get changed. Your clothes have been carefully selected for you.” Arielle nodded

and followed Iris to go get herself ready.

Watching Arielle leave the room, the director could not help but voice his concerns to Vinson, “Mr.

Nightshire, although Ms. Sannie is a gorgeous girl, do you think that something is missing if she were to

assume the role of a CEO? Something about her aura.” “Aura?” The director nodded. “Yes, you know, an

air of dignity that netizens talk about. She’s such a goody two shoes. So, I’m afraid that she’s not able to

play the role well. Consequently, it will have an adverse effect on the commercial. I’d rather we select

another person to play this role.”
