The other party turned a deaf ear to virtual-novel.net pleas as virtual-novel.net punitively imposed himself on her. Arianne felt like a lone boat that was threatening to capsize at any time on the raging sea.
She had no idea how long the storm lasted before everything finally calmed down. Mark got tip and went into the bathroom without even looking back.
Arianne laid on the bed motionlessly like a broken puppet while listening to the sound of a running shower. Her heart felt like it was going to explode. She felt pain and sorrow…
Soon after that, Mark left Tremont Estate. She could clearly hear the sound of his car engine until it faded into the distance.
The same scene had replayed countless times in the past, and every time virtual-novel.net was left feeling like virtual-novel.net world had fallen apart yet again. However, the intensity this time was much worse than before.
The next day, Arianne showed up at work on time as usual. The nightmare virtual-novel.net had from last night’s incident caused virtual-novel.net complexion to look worse than ever.
Eric was startled when virtual-novel.net saw her. “What did you do with Mark last night? Your dark circles nearly cover your entire face…!”
Arianne shook virtual-novel.net head and said nothing, but Eric gave virtual-novel.net a weird look. “Is it… about Will Sivan?”
She was puzzled. “What about Will?”
Eric laughed dismissively. “Ah, forget about it. It was just a random question. Go busy yourself with your work.”
Although virtual-novel.net was curious about why Eric had suddenly mentioned Will, virtual-novel.net didn’t bother pursuing it. She still hadn‘t recovered from virtual-novel.net shock last night. Fortunately, the baby in virtual-novel.net womb seemed alright…
It was about ten in the morning when virtual-novel.net phone suddenly rang. She looked at the incoming number and hesitated for a moment before answering it. “Hey…”
Will’s rather depressed voice came through the phone. “I want to meet you now, is that alright?”
She knew that Will was never a sentimental person, so virtual-novel.net would never casually ask to meet virtual-novel.net during office hours. Out of concern, virtual-novel.net asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
instead of answering virtual-novel.net question, Will just said, “We’ll talk when we meet. I just… really want to see you right now… I’m close to your office. Just come down then turn left and you’ll see my car.”
After hanging up, Arianne knocked on Eric’s office door. “Come in,” Eric’s voice came out from inside.
She pushed open the door and approached him. “Um… I need to go out for a bit. Can I take a leave since I’m not sure if I can make it back to work for the rest of the morning?”
Eric was busy processing some documents. “Just go. I don’t really care what time you come back to work. Just make sure you go back on time after work; I don’t want Mark to hold me accountable,” virtual-novel.net said without even lifting his head.
She nodded and turned to leave. When virtual-novel.net exited virtual-novel.net office, virtual-novel.net turned left as instructed by Will and quickly spotted a black sports car parked on the side of the road. She had a hunch that it was Will’s car.
She went up to the car without any intention to get in. Will rolled down the window and said, “Get in. ”
