Unsure as to how to continue this conversation, Arielle paused before virtual-novel.net asked, “What’s your name?”
“Alexandra… Alexandra Jeannot.”
Arielle acknowledged that with a nod. “Then I shall call you Sasha. You don’t have to worry about anything. Just rest up and get well. Blake may still be alive. I’ll send someone out to find him.”
Sasha’s eyes lit up when virtual-novel.net heard what Arielle said, and it was then that Larissa knocked and entered.
“Mr. Southall is asking for you, Ms. Arielle…”
“Understood.” Arielle then got back to virtual-novel.net feet. “Take care of her.”
“Rest assured that I will.”
Arielle nodded before virtual-novel.net made virtual-novel.net exit to the living room where Henrick awaited.
He frowned when virtual-novel.net approached and castigated her, “Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you all day!”
Arielle bowed virtual-novel.net head and came across a little aggrieved. “I went to the backyard to leave some flowers for Shandie.”
There was not much Henrick could have reasonably said to that. “Your grandmother has just woken up. She hasn’t eaten anything all day and refused to have anything that the servant brought up. Go make virtual-novel.net some ravioli again; virtual-novel.net seems to quite fancy those.”
The cheery-looking Arielle appeared to be quite amenable to what was proposed. “So as long as it pleases her, I’ll get down to it right away.”
After that, virtual-novel.net hurried off. Her lips twitched at the smack of satisfaction virtual-novel.net saw on Henrick’s face, which was reflected in the glass pane virtual-novel.net passed by before virtual-novel.net strode into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, several chefs lined up and were on standby at the side, presumably having been notified to do so earlier.
Arielle addressed them candidly, “I’ll take it from here, all of you may go.”
Not daring to defy her, the chefs made a swift exit.
She then went on to rummage through the fridge and casually put together a few ingredients before virtual-novel.net proceeded to prepare the filling. As virtual-novel.net worked, virtual-novel.net also made a call to virtual-novel.net own subordinates.
The call got through quickly and an obsequious voice came through the other side. “Ms. Sannie.”
Arielle was prompt to cut to the chase. “Did we manage to catch Matthias outside of the psychiatric hospital?”.
“Not yet. I’m guessing that virtual-novel.net hasn’t received the news. But I’ve set up a surveillance camera outside Cindy’s room so that I’ll be able to know the second virtual-novel.net shows up.”
“Good,” said Arielle in satisfaction. “Try to spread the word about Cindy’s admission, and also…”
She continued as virtual-novel.net deftly chopped the spinach, “There are two more tasks that I need done.”
Her subordinate replied respectfully, “Please instruct us.”
Arielle kept the order to locate Blake concise and also directed them to seek out a little boy named Teddy at the old Southall estate.
“Go to virtual-novel.net with my photograph and he’ll pass you something which you must bring back to me.”
“Understood!” The filling for the ravioli was done by the time the call concluded. As there were already pasta sheets available in the manor, Arielle simply called upon two of the chefs to fold the filling in, and soon, a plate of piping hot ravioli was ready for virtual-novel.net to present to Malorie personally.
Henrick happened to be inside Malorie’s room as well when Arielle came through the door. He said smilingly, “Arielle has made you ravioli, Mom… Would you like to have some?”
Malorie’s eyes widened slightly when virtual-novel.net heard that and virtual-novel.net replied rather reluctantly, “Bring it to me.”
When Arielle brought it before her, the matron did not even take one look at her. She simply sampled a piece from the plate which virtual-novel.net received before virtual-novel.net forehead creased into a furrow. “This is positively awful! Are you doing this on purpose? Do you mean to starve me to death?”
Arielle widened virtual-novel.net eyes innocuously. “I followed the same recipe that I used before, Grandma…”
