This occurred frequently when Arianne was younger, yet virtual-novel.net did not remember since when virtual-novel.net began to feel awkward about it.
Being so close to Mark Tremont, virtual-novel.net caught a whiff of the faint tobacco emanating off virtual-novel.net and the smell of alcohol, virtual-novel.net drank again!
”Will Sivan is gone, who is it this time? Hand in hand, with you I shall grow old… Tell me, who is it?” Mark Tremont’s voice was chillingly bewitching.
Arianne Wynn was too scared to answer. He had already ‘ushered’ Will Sivan overseas, if virtual-novel.net were to admit that the gift came from him, what sort of fate would befall upon him? She dared not think about it.
”I… I don’t know…”
”Don’t know? Why were you hiding it so carefully if you didn’t know? Ari… you’re misbehaving…” Mark Tremont’s hand seemed to be casually resting on Arianne’s waist, which virtual-novel.net then subtly pressed into virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net spoke.
Arianne Wynn was high strung, not knowing when virtual-novel.net might crumble. ”I really don’t know…”
Mark Tremont stopped pursuing, as virtual-novel.net buried his head at virtual-novel.net neck and sniffed the light fragrance on her. “You know the consequences if there’s a next time.”
He did not let virtual-novel.net leave, his thin supple lips softly rubbing against Arianne’s neck and shoulder. A million thoughts raced through Arianne’s head. To her, intimacy like this could only be conducted with someone you like. He hated her, yet why was virtual-novel.net still like this?
Nevertheless, Arianne stayed frozen and submissive to his every action as virtual-novel.net did not dare push virtual-novel.net away. Just as virtual-novel.net thought that Mark Tremont would do something else, virtual-novel.net pushed virtual-novel.net away out of the blue, panting harshly like virtual-novel.net was holding back.
Arianne looked at virtual-novel.net in confusion. To be exact, virtual-novel.net was cautiously waiting for his next course of action.
However, Mark Tremont only picked up the gift box and passed it to her, announcing icily, “Throw it.”
Arianne frowned. Did virtual-novel.net want virtual-novel.net to throw it out with virtual-novel.net own hands?
”Do I have to repeat myself?” Mark Tremont glowered, the dissatisfaction in his eyes near a tipping point.
Without the courage to hesitate, Arianne Wynn hastily took the gift and threw it into the bin. When virtual-novel.net looked back and in a flash of stupor, virtual-novel.net was caught off guard by the faint smile on the corners of his lips.
Of course, it was thanks to Mark Tremont that Arianne Wynn woke up late the next day, even though virtual-novel.net did not particularly do anything to virtual-novel.net other than the intimate move that confused her.
Butler Henry was waiting for Arianne by the door.
”Miss, I’ll send you to school. Sir has… thrown away your bicycle.”
Arianne did not comment on the matter. Her bike was near its end anyway, it had served its time. Reaching a stretch of road that was nearby the campus, Arianne asked Butler Henry to stop the car.
”Uncle Henry here’s good enough. It’s only a few hundred meters away. l’ll walk over.”
Butler Henry parked to the side.
”Be careful then. Call me when you’re dismissed. I’ll pick you up.”
Arianne thought for a moment. ”Then wait for me here when school dismisses. Don’t drive to the campus gate.”
She did not want anyone to know about virtual-novel.net relationship with Mark Tremont. It would dishonor him.
When virtual-novel.net arrived at the gate, Tiffany Lane was waiting for virtual-novel.net as usual. ”Why are you so late today?”
“Woke up late,” Arianne answered simply.
Tiffany hooked virtual-novel.net arm around Arianne as virtual-novel.net had always done and led the way. ”What a rare occasion for you to have woken up late. I’m late too waiting for you.”
Just as Arianne Wynn was about to speak, virtual-novel.net felt a pang in virtual-novel.net stomach.
Seeing that Arianne did not look well, Tiffany pulled close to virtual-novel.net and asked, ”What’s wrong?”
”Nothing.” Arianne shook virtual-novel.net head.
”You sure? Wanna check it out at the infirmary?”
”Nah, we’re already late. Let’s hurry up.” Arianne waved virtual-novel.net hand in dismissal and quickly made their way to the studio pulling Tiffany along.
When they arrived, virtual-novel.net was already covered in sweat from the pain. The tutor gave virtual-novel.net a side eye. ”Late when you know there’s class huh. Stand there for now.”
