Mark Tremont left early in the morning the next day.
Arianne Wynn had turned virtual-novel.net closet inside out yet virtual-novel.net could not find anything befitting to wear. This was the first time virtual-novel.net felt the desire to go shopping. She invited Tiffany Lane, and they both headed to the mall together.
When Arianne went to pay, Tiffany’s mouth formed an ’O’ shape when virtual-novel.net saw the bank service deduction text on the former’s mobile phone. ”Ari, that’s a little too much. I’ve always thought that you’re poor, but it seems like you’re only pretending to be poor huh! You’re a little rich woman!”
Arianne was reluctant to mention that the money was from Mark Tremont, simply replying, ”That’s nonsense. Let’s go.”
The gathering at night was located at Will Sivan’s family beach villa.
When Arianne Wynn and Tiffany Lane arrived at the party, a crowd had already formed. Arianne was unfamiliar with most of the guests, having never met them. Will Sivan stood out the most among the mass of people, attracting virtual-novel.net line of vision almost instantly.
”Arianne, it’s been a while.” Will Sivan went up to virtual-novel.net and smiled, his handsome eyes stared at virtual-novel.net without a blink, making virtual-novel.net shy upon meeting his gaze.
“Yeah… it’s been a while…”
The crowd around them teased, ”Will, this is the real reason you’re hosting this party, isn’t it?”
“Yup, what about it?” Will Sivan did not hold back. He was joking, though it was not far from the truth. Arianne lowered virtual-novel.net blushing face feeling like something pulled a heart string. Her heart was dripping in honey.
Tiffany Lane grabbed ahold of Ethan Connor from the mass of guests.
”Ari, this is my boyfriend, Ethan Connor!”
Arianne looked up to see Ethan Connor nodding at virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net greeted him.
Ethan Connor was gorgeous with his tall frame and handsome features. It was just his edgy and socialite character that Arianne found it hard to like his physical appearance. She gave virtual-novel.net a small smile before virtual-novel.net was pushed into the main hall with the rest of the guests.
The heater in the hall was turned on considerably high and the music was on full blast as well. Tiffany Lane was immersed in the scene once virtual-novel.net entered the place, all while a bottle of fruity alcohol was forced virtual-novel.net way.
“The alcohol percentage isn’t too high in this and it’s fruit-flavored. Don’t tell me that you’re going to have plain water. That’s a downer.”
Arianne took a sip. The taste of alcohol was truly faint as what filled virtual-novel.net mouth was the rich taste of orange. She did not dislike it, thus virtual-novel.net took another gulp.
Gradually, Arianne began to feel the heat and took off herjacket, tossing it on the couch, where Ethan Connor and Tiffany Lane sat already drunkenly inseparable.
Will Sivan whispered something into virtual-novel.net ear but Arianne could not catch it. Stumbling, virtual-novel.net fell into his embrace and virtual-novel.net lost track of whatever that happened next…
When Arianne Wynn woke up the next day, virtual-novel.net felt a slight headache. Turning around and opening virtual-novel.net eyes, Will Sivan’s face was magnified right in front of her! Stunned, panic flooded her.
Arianne got off of the bed anxiously, realizing the clothes virtual-novel.net wore had been changed somehow. She was obviously wearing a man’s shirt!
She had no recollection of what happened last night, although virtual-novel.net could guess based on virtual-novel.net current state.
Arianne had no idea what to do. This was also virtual-novel.net first time staying out. If Mark Tremont knew about it, virtual-novel.net was doomed!
Before everyone else woke up, virtual-novel.net found virtual-novel.net clothes and changed into them. Unable to find virtual-novel.net jacket despite looking everywhere, virtual-novel.net had no other choice than to wear Will Sivan’s since it was snowing heavily outside.
Scurrying down the stairs, plenty of hungover people were still lying unconscious on the couch. It was imaginable how crazy last night was. Taking in this scene, Arianne’s heart sank further as virtual-novel.net hastened virtual-novel.net leave.
On the flip side, Mark Tremont who was being driven to the airport rubbed the space between his eyebrows with much fatigue.
Chauffeur Brian Pearce caught his action from the rearview mirror and advised hesitantly, ”Sir, why not postpone the trip? The departure time was changed yesterday, you’ve worked in the office through the night and now you’re flying abroad without missing a beat. Your body won’t be able to take it…”
”No need.” Mark Tremont checked his mobile phone, thinking if virtual-novel.net should make a call home when a news update popped out in his notification bar.
A headline flashed, prompting virtual-novel.net to press into the article. His eyes were met with a high resolution photo of Will Sivan and Arianne Wynn lying entangled in bed!
The force of his palm nearly crushed his mobile phone as virtual-novel.net spat through his gritted teeth, ”Pearce, turn back home!”
