Smelling the stinging perfume scent, Mark Tremont instinctively pushed virtual-novel.net away in repulsion. Both his gaze and tone were extremely icy. “Stay away!”
The whole booth was dead silent, only saved by the bar’s blaring music.
Aery Kinsey was startled, teary-eyed and shaken, as it was also virtual-novel.net first time to see this side of Mark Tremont.
“Mark darling… why are you so mean to me? I’m just concerned…”
The bargirls beside them did not dare make even a sound. The entire city knew that Mark Tremont was gentle and flawless, the epitome of perfection, as virtual-novel.net was always amiable to everyone and anything.
Jackson West and Eric Nathaniel, however, were not the least bit surprised. Having known each other for over a decade, they probably understood each other better than themselves.
Worried that a scandal would break out if someone were to make a fuss, both men hoisted Mark Tremont up. “Let’s go back?”
“I don’t want to see her…” Mark Tremont mumbled faintly.
“Then where do you want to go? Eric will send you. He didn’t drink today, virtual-novel.net can drive,” offered Jackson.
Nothing came from Mark Tremont for quite a while. Eric then suggested, “We’ll go to a hotel and decide after virtual-novel.net sobers up. I’ll send him. You have fun.”
Jackson West agreed since virtual-novel.net had yet to enjoy the nightlife to his heart’s content. “I’ll leave virtual-novel.net to you then…”
Aery Kinsey left the bar with Eric Nathaniel and Mark Tremont, Eric asked virtual-novel.net after they got into the car, “Aery Kinsey, you going back? I’ll send you first, then Mark after.”
Still shaken up from Mark Tremont’s sudden change of character, Aery Kinsey dared not stay too close to Mark Tremont now. However, virtual-novel.net still was clear with virtual-novel.net goal. “No, I want to stay and take care of Mark!”
Eric was no fool to the consequences of an inebriated pair of man and woman staying in the same room and matter-of-factly rejected, “I can take care of him. You should go home.”
Aery Kinsey insisted, pressing on with a cutesy tone, “Don’t wanna… I want to keep Mark darling company…”
Eric could feel an impending headache. He had called Arianne Wynn twice on Mark’s phone previously, so virtual-novel.net had subconsciously memorized virtual-novel.net number. He texted her, “Mark’s drunk at the same bar. Come over.”
Arianne Wynn was not yet asleep, guessing that it was either Jackson West or Eric Nathaniel when virtual-novel.net saw the text message. Not wanting to keep them waiting for too long, virtual-novel.net quickly got up and draped a coat over herself.
Not wanting to wake Butler Henry again, as virtual-novel.net was no longer a young child, Arianne ran straight out to the junction slightly more than half a mile away from the Tremont Estate to hail a cab. A strenuous run later, virtual-novel.net felt as if virtual-novel.net lungs were going to explode when virtual-novel.net was gulped by the frosty night air.
Aery Kinsey was uneasy when virtual-novel.net saw that Eric Nathaniel had yet to start his car. “Eric, what are you waiting for? Let’s go!”
Eric leaned against his seat and answered nonchalantly, “We’ll wait for a bit. Mark’s drunk too much. What if virtual-novel.net suddenly throws up? We’ll see how he’s doing and go when virtual-novel.net isn’t gonna puke. I just bought this car, let’s be a bit cautious.”
Aery Kinsey was unable to rebut. She had asked virtual-novel.net chauffeur to leave when virtual-novel.net arrived at the bar earlier, not planning to go home anyway. It was either virtual-novel.net let Eric Nathaniel drive virtual-novel.net or hail a cab on virtual-novel.net own. She, however, would rather die than to sit in a cab that all sorts of people had ridden in, as it disgusted her.
When Arianne Wynn arrived, Eric Nathaniel spotted virtual-novel.net swiftly and feigned coincidence, winding down the car window and greeting her, “Arianne!”
Arianne walked forward speedily when virtual-novel.net saw him. “Where’s Mark Tremont?”
Aery Kinsey frowned and wound the window down to look at Arianne, as if challenging her. “He’s right beside me. Why? Are you here for him? He said that virtual-novel.net doesn’t want to go back tonight. He doesn’t want to see you!”
