Chapter 1187

Disappointment

After giving it some thought, he was still unable to figure the reason out.

However, there was no way he would let his guests wait for their boss at the entrance by themselves. As
such, he quickly replied, “We’ve reserved our schedule for the entire day just for you. We’ll wait with you
then.”

“Thank you. We appreciate that.”

“No problem at all.” Jacob waved his hands and asked, “What’s your boss’ name? From what I know,
Sann Group has not disclosed any of your boss’ particulars before.”

“That’s right.” The man nodded and replied with a look of admiration, “Our boss is extremely outstanding
but has always maintained a low profile. We are also very excited that our boss is willing to step into the
public eye this time. As for our boss’ name, that’s not for us to say. You’ll find out when our boss arrives.”

“Of course. May I know what time your boss will be arriving? I will prepare some refreshments before
that.”

“I’m not sure about that,” the blonde man replied, shaking his head. “It depends on our boss’ mood. My
boss does not like to plan things in advance. If you can’t wait, you can head upstairs first.”

It was obvious from the tone of the man’s voice that he had tremendous respect for his boss. That got
Jacob even more curious to know what kind of person the boss of Sann Group was.

He could either be an elderly man or a capable young leader like Vinson.

Regardless, Jacob was certain that it was definitely not a woman.

To Jacob, the business world belonged to men and not women like Arielle.



Meanwhile, at Maple Mansion, Arielle just woke up after a great night’s sleep.

She touched the pillow beside her instinctively and was alert at once.

When she turned to look, she saw that the man who was previously lying next to her was gone. The
pillow was completely cold, without any of his lingering warmth.

Arielle did not know what time he had left and could not help but feel slightly disappointed.

The previous day’s livestream was a huge win for her, gaining her both fame and influence.

Vinson was the first person she wanted to share her joy with, but when she got home, she realized that
he was not back yet.

Assuming that he would return slightly later, Arielle personally prepared a celebratory feast while waiting
for the man. She waited until ten o’clock at night, but there was still no sign of Vinson. As such, she had
no choice but to finish up the food that had turned cold all by herself.

After the woman finished eating, she decided to give Vinson a call.

However, the man rejected her call and texted her a short message telling her that he had to attend an
emergency meeting and would only be back after midnight. He had also told her to sleep first and not
wait up for him.

Even though Arielle was already upset before the text, she chose not to say anything. She simply texted
back an “OK” and went to wash up.

Vinson finally returned home when she was already half-asleep.

Arielle wanted to tell him all about the press conference, but the man took a quick shower and fell asleep
as soon as he lay down on the bed.



As such, the woman had no choice but to bite back the words that she was about to say.

She had planned to have a chat with Vinson in the morning, yet, it turned out that Vinson had already
woken up and left, leaving her all alone in the bedroom.

If she had not seen Vinson next to her last night, she would have thought that he had stayed out all night.

Arielle could not help but feel disappointed and let out a barely audible sigh.

She tried to control her emotions and pretend that everything was all right.

Picking up her phone, she texted the man: What time did you wake up? Are you at the office already?

Arielle headed to the bathroom to wash up right after sending the message. However, when she checked
her phone after she finished breakfast, there was still no reply from Vinson.
