Arianne spotted Tiffany sitting by the window with one glance when virtual-novel.net arrived at the restaurant. She recollected virtual-novel.net emotions then slowly walked towards virtual-novel.net and sat down.
Before virtual-novel.net could begin, Tiffany began jabbering on and on, “I’m done for, I’m done for. I thought that I had found a good job, but I never thought that my boss would turn out to be Jackson West! I’ve knocked into his car and said a few hateful words to virtual-novel.net too. I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t hold a grudge! I definitely won’t last very long in his company. I might as well pack up and leave instead of waiting for virtual-novel.net to fire me…”
Arianne was a little rattled. She was thinking about Ethan’s reasons for seeking virtual-novel.net out. If virtual-novel.net gave this card to Tiffany, virtual-novel.net would undoubtedly believe that Ethan was doing well in life, the kind of life that meant that virtual-novel.net could spend millions without batting an eye. There was no greater slap in the face than telling someone that their ex was much better off than they were…
Tiffany grew anxious when virtual-novel.net noticed virtual-novel.net silence. “Say something, Ari. What should I do now?”
Arianne calmed herself and said, “Tiffie, I may not know Jackson very well, but he’s close to Mark. People like virtual-novel.net have pretty good tolerance, and probably wouldn’t begrudge a young girl. Just keep doing your job and see how it goes. I… have something to tell you…”
Tiffany propped virtual-novel.net chin on virtual-novel.net hands and stared at virtual-novel.net innocently. “Go ahead.”
“Ethan came looking for me at my office, downstairs. He asked me to give you something.” This was Arianne’s conclusion after much deliberation. There was no use in holding on to the card. Knowing Tiffany, site would have let go of all uncertainties. Perhaps this money could be used as a consolation prize to make up for virtual-novel.net losses.
“What… did virtual-novel.net ask you to give me? Haha… What good could there possibly be? Nothing except money could make me happy now. He’s wise to avoid coming to me, because I’d beat virtual-novel.net to death! ” Tiffany sounded like virtual-novel.net was joking, but virtual-novel.net eyes clouded over with unmistakable sadness, which looked like it could spill over.
“That’s exactly it—money. And it’s not a small amount either.” Arianne pulled out the card. “The password is your birthday.”
“Oh, I guess my past isn’t a complete loss. Ari, I’ve ordered all of your favorite dishes. You’re pregnant now, so you should eat more. Tomorrow’s Saturday. Let’s pay that letter’s author a visit as soon as possible and clear up your father’s matters. You’ll be able to relax then,” Tiffany picked up the card and quickly changed the topic.
Arianne simply nodded and didn’t say anything more. She could see right through Tiffany. As a friend, virtual-novel.net could not expose virtual-novel.net and had no way of consoling her. This was Tiffany’s last shred of dignity.
A black Rolls-Royce was parked across the road from the restaurant. Brian glanced at the rear View mirror and carefully said, “It seems that Madam did not take the initiative to contact Ethan Connor. it was Ethan’s initiative to go and see her… As for why virtual-novel.net had given virtual-novel.net money… I’m not sure. Madam and Tiffany are the only ones in the restaurant. There’s no one else…”
The man in the back seat released a cold mien, closed his eyes and solemnly said, “Back to the office.”
Arianne went back to the Tremont Estate after work. Mark hadn’t arrived home yet, so virtual-novel.net casually asked Mary about it. Mary, however, seemed overjoyed. “You’ve been very concerned about sir lately, Madam…”
Mary would never call virtual-novel.net “Madam” in Mark’s absence. She was obviously teasing her.
“Mary… I’m just asking,” virtual-novel.net said, feeling awkward.
Mary’s smile grew even more profound. “Yes yes yes, you’re ‘just’ asking. You’re shy about it too… Sir has called. He won’t be back for dinner. You wash up and get ready for dinner.”
Arianne did not insist on explaining herself. After virtual-novel.net shower, virtual-novel.net sat obediently at the dining table and waited to start virtual-novel.net meal. She watched as the dishes were served, one by one. Then, virtual-novel.net gaze instinctively gravitated toward the seat across from hers. That was Mark’s spot…
