Arianne was rendered speechless for a moment. “…You’re doubting me just like Tiffie. Alright, we’re here. You can pull up now.”
She waited for the car to stop then left in a hurry after thanking Ethan.
Ethan watched through his dark eyes as virtual-novel.net figure left. It seemed like Tiffany hadn’t told virtual-novel.net about their breakup…
When it was about time to get off work for the day, Arianne received a whining text from Tiffany. ‘It’s too difficult to find a job! Not only that, it’s raining so much today. It’s annoying!‘
Arianne was almost done with virtual-novel.net work at this time, so virtual-novel.net replied to virtual-novel.net text. ‘You have Ethan to support you, what’s there to worry about? You used to help virtual-novel.net out, now it’s his turn to return the favor. Since virtual-novel.net has a good job now and is driving a car that costs nearly a hundred thousand dollars, you can live a decent life. Just take your time in searching for a job.’
After the text was sent out, Tiffany didn’t reply for some time. Arianne found that strange. After a long time, virtual-novel.net finally replied. ‘I broke up with Ethan. Now that I think about it, that car was my birthday present to him. He didn’t even think about selling it off to help me out when my family was in trouble. I should have known better.’
Arianne read the text and fell silent. Tiffany had experienced too many ups and downs during this period of time. Not many people could survive through an ordeal like this.
She didn’t expect to hear that they had broken up, given the fact that Ethan had just offered to send virtual-novel.net back to the office during lunch break. She couldn’t even tell from his expression.
Arianne couldn’t find the right words to console Tiffany from the top of virtual-novel.net head. Instead, Tiffany was the one who comforted virtual-novel.net in the gap between their last text. ‘I’m alright, Ari. I still have you and Will. Men are trash. Nothing’s more genuine than friendship. Let me treat you to a meal when I find a job. I gotta go now, I need to cook.’
In the end, Arianne only managed to text one word back to her. ‘Alright.’ There were too many things that virtual-novel.net couldn’t express with words.
It was still pouring outside. The rain was so heavy that it felt like the sky above the city was coming down.
Arianne had no choice but to stay behind and work overtime until the rain let up. She never had any luck with this; she’d always
forget virtual-novel.net umbrella when it rained and a flash light when it was dark.
When nearly everyone in the company had left, Eric finally came out of his office.
Noticing that Arianne was still here, virtual-novel.net asked, “Why are you still here? We don’t need to work overtime during this period.”
Arianne stared at the sketches in virtual-novel.net hands, then casually replied, “I want to work overtime for free. As an employer like yourself, don’t you like this kind of employee?”
Eric watched the rain pattering against the window then thoughtfully gave Mark a call after virtual-novel.net had gone downstairs. “Bring your woman an umbrella. She’s stranded in the office.”
Half an hour later, Arianne’s phone rang. It was Butler Henry’s private phone number.
Thinking that something had happened at home, virtual-novel.net quickly picked up the call. “What’s wrong, Uncle Henry? I’m working overtime at the office.”
“Come down, I’m waiting at the entrance to your office. Sir asked me to pick you up.” Butler Henry hung up after saying that.
Arianne was a little stunned but obediently packed virtual-novel.net things and went downstairs. Butler Henry was waiting with an umbrella in front of the car. He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, not giving away his old age.
In the car, Arianne asked, “Is virtual-novel.net home?”
Butler Henry drove the car attentively. “Yes, madam.”
She didn’t ask any more questions. As the car drove smoothly along the wet road, Arianne grew drowsy and closed virtual-novel.net eyes for a while. By the time Butler Henry called her, the car had stopped at Tremont Estate.
As soon as virtual-novel.net walked through the door, virtual-novel.net keen nose picked up the aroma of food. She took a shower while enduring virtual-novel.net hunger.
