Tiffany was a little skeptical. “Really? Then why didn’t I feel anything?”
Arianne was stunned for a good while before coming back to virtual-novel.net senses. “You mean… you’re a…? Weren’t you dating Ethan for a long time and even occasionally stayed with him? Why are you asking me this kind of question? Shouldn’t you know this better than I do?”
Tiffany’s eyes dimmed a little at the mention of Ethan. “Ethan and I… never got to that stage. He wanted to wait until we got married, but who knew… Hehe… He never even thought of marrying me in the first place. Now that I think about it, he’s a decent guy. At least virtual-novel.net didn’t completely wreck me when virtual-novel.net was using me.”
From virtual-novel.net statement, Arianne picked out a clue. “Since you’ve never done it with Ethan, then why are you suddenly asking me about it? Tiffie, tell me the truth.”
Tiffany got so nervous that virtual-novel.net emptied half a glass of water in one breath. “Stop asking me that, Ari. I can’t tell you… I’m alright. It was just a random question. Look at me, I look fine, don’t I?” After confirming that virtual-novel.net didn’t feel any discomfort in virtual-novel.net body, virtual-novel.net significantly relaxed and could even laugh now. That meant nothing really happened between Jackson and virtual-novel.net last night. She didn’t have to feel guilty anymore. However, it was still better to keep this kind of thing a secret. After all, it was pretty embarrassing.
Arianne pouted but didn’t continue pressing and changed the subject instead. “Did you find out anything about Mr. Sloane?”
Tiffany shook virtual-novel.net head. “The person I engaged is quite famous in the industry, but it has been a few days and there’s still no news about it. Every time I asked, virtual-novel.net would tell me virtual-novel.net needs a bit more time. I’m seriously suspecting that he’s taking me for a fool. But then again, virtual-novel.net has a good reputation. Since we have only paid virtual-novel.net the deposit and kept the remaining money in our hands, we have nothing to worry about. At most, we only lose the deposit, which isn’t much. Give it two more days.”
Arianne nodded. She could only wait for now. If Mr. Sloane was still alive, virtual-novel.net would definitely be found. There was no use in rushing things.
After lunch, the girls parted ways at the restaurant’s exit and returned to their respective workplaces.
It was still lunch break by the time Arianne returned to virtual-novel.net office. There wasn’t anyone around. As soon as virtual-novel.net sat down at virtual-novel.net desk, virtual-novel.net heard quite a commotion in Eric’s office. It sounded like someone was fighting. Out of curiosity, virtual-novel.net got up to check on the situation. She was almost at Eric’s office when a figure was slammed heavily against the door. Since it was a translucent glass door, Arianne was shocked and couldn’t hold back virtual-novel.net loud scream. “AHHH! ”
The office door was opened from the inside very quickly. Eric stood at the door, looking at virtual-novel.net with a murderous face. “We’re fine. Get back to work.”
Arianne saw another person lying on the ground beside Eric with a bleeding forehead. She had never seen virtual-novel.net before, so virtual-novel.net couldn’t be an employee. She was so frightened that virtual-novel.net wanted to turn around and leave, but what if things got even more serious and Eric wound up in jail? She calmed herself down and advised him. “Eric, you can always talk things out. There’s no need for violence. Who is this person?”
Before Eric even had time to speak, the person on the ground suddenly got up and punched virtual-novel.net in the face. The two of them fought again and Arianne was extremely alarmed. She couldn’t call the cops or Eric would be in trouble too. Feeling that virtual-novel.net heart would jump out of virtual-novel.net throat, virtual-novel.net called Mark in a panic instead.
Fortunately, virtual-novel.net call was answered. Without waiting for Mark to speak, virtual-novel.net spoke first. “Come to my office quickly, Eric is in trouble! I think he’s fighting with someone, but there’s no one else in the office…”
Mark said nothing and instantly hung up.
