Arianne wondered to herself. Didn’t Mark sleep in their room last night? Why did virtual-novel.net come out of the study room early in the morning? He looked like… virtual-novel.net just woke up. Did virtual-novel.net get out of the room and go to the study room in the middle of the night?
She naturally couldn’t comprehend Mark’s behavior, but since virtual-novel.net knew better than to get herself into trouble, virtual-novel.net left without even having breakfast.
Mary came out of the kitchen with a bowl of millet porridge, but Arianne was no longer in sight. “Where is she?” virtual-novel.net wondered out aloud.
As soon as virtual-novel.net voice fell, virtual-novel.net caught a glimpse of Mark who was coming down the stairs. The sour look on his face instantly muted her.
Arianne couldn’t focus on virtual-novel.net work the entire morning. She had never expected herself to feel weak and dizzy just from not having breakfast. Her morning sickness felt even more intense than usual when virtual-novel.net was hungry.
When it was almost lunch break, virtual-novel.net received a call from Tiffany. “Ari, I’m downstairs of your office. Come down quickly, I’ll treat you to lunch.”
Tiffany promised virtual-novel.net before that virtual-novel.net would treat virtual-novel.net to a meal when virtual-novel.net found a job. “Have you found a job?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Tiffany kept virtual-novel.net hanging instead. “We’ll talk about that later over lunch! ”
As soon as lunch break arrived, Arianne was the first to leave virtual-novel.net office. She met up with Tiffany downstairs then randomly found a place to eat. Tiffany was dressed up; it would seem like virtual-novel.net had put in a lot of effort in finding a job.
After they ordered their food, Tiffany tried rousing Arianne’s curiosity. “Guess which company I managed to get in? I’ll give you a prize if you get it right”
Arianne had no intention of guessing because virtual-novel.net thoughts were occupied by food. “I don’t know… but it must pay well, right? Otherwise, you wouldn‘t have accepted it. In any case, you came back from studying abroad. Even without any work experience, you should be highly sought after in the corresponding industry.”
Light shone from the depths of Tiffany’s eyes. She looked just as virtual-novel.net used to back in virtual-novel.net carefree days. The light in virtual-novel.net eyes had gone out ever since virtual-novel.net family’s incident. “Yeah, it pays pretty well. I didn’t spend my time looking for a job in vain. God is merciful enough to grant me a foothold. Now, I only have one dream: to start a fresh then buy a house in this city on my own and live peacefully with my mom.”
The smile on Tiffany’s face was contagious. Arianne felt virtual-novel.net mood lift too. “Thank God, Tiffie. I’m glad all those unfortunate events
didn’t bring you down. You will definitely realize your dream. Everything will get better.”
Tiffany suddenly sighed. “You didn’t catch what I mean. It’s a ‘dream’ because it’s very difficult to make happen. My mom can’t change virtual-novel.net ways of spending frivolously. I’m very worried that my entire month of salary won’t be enough for her. I just want to live peacefully. Shouldn’t everyone live in the present?”
Arianne burst out laughing because virtual-novel.net didn’t think of it as a big deal. “Auntie is used to living a luxurious life. It’s understandable that virtual-novel.net would not be able to adapt to the sudden changes. Give virtual-novel.net time, virtual-novel.net will change. Stop sighing, you’re in a better situation than l am now…”
