Arianne followed virtual-novel.net line of sight, and virtual-novel.net heart skipped a beat. Mark was as eye-catching as ever even when he’s surrounded by a crowd. She could not miss virtual-novel.net even if virtual-novel.net tried. She was not sure if it was due to the alcohol, but virtual-novel.net was not as afraid as virtual-novel.net usually would be. For an extra dose of courage, virtual-novel.net poured herself another glass and downed it. “Tiffie, I’ve got to go. Call me if you need anything…”
Mark and his group of bodyguards arrived at their booth soon after. Arianne bravely threw herself into his embrace before virtual-novel.net lost his temper. “I was out having dinner with Tiffie, and it was still early so we came here. What are you doing here?”
Mark’s face looked grim. The inebriated expression on virtual-novel.net face made virtual-novel.net boil over with rage. He forced himself to restrain his temper. “I came for you. Let’s go home.”
Arianne secretly waved goodbye to Tiffany and left the bar with Mark. She discovered Jackson was also in the bar, and virtual-novel.net had been the one who disclosed virtual-novel.net location to Mark!
“How much longer did you plan on sticking around if Jackson didn’t tell me about this? Who told you to come here? Do you have any idea how dangerous it is for girls to get drunk in a place like this? Have you been listening to me at all? Do you want to meet your maker?”
Arianne acted meek and obedient when faced with Mark’s wrath. “I understand… I won’t set foot into these kinds of places again. If I ever do, I’ll ask you to come along. Will that be okay?”
He took a deep breath and massaged his temples, alleviating his headache. “There won’t be a next time! Moreover, I won’t be coming to these places again.”
She was too afraid to answer. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net stomach churn. She tried to hold it in for a while but found herself unable to do so. She quickly told Brian to stop the car, “I need to puke. Stop the car!”
Brian quickly pulled the car to the side of the road. After a particularly hair-raising bout of vomiting, Mark got down from the car and handed virtual-novel.net some tissue and a bottle of mineral water in disgust “I really want to leave you on the side of the road!”
She curled virtual-novel.net lips, cleaned herself up before getting into the car again. She had clearly puked it all out, but the alcohol had numbed all of virtual-novel.net senses, taking away the very last vestiges of virtual-novel.net awareness.
When they arrived at the Tremont Estate, Mark carried virtual-novel.net into the bedroom, looking thoroughly disgusted. He threw virtual-novel.net into the bathtub before filling it with water. Before virtual-novel.net could help clean virtual-novel.net up, virtual-novel.net flailed virtual-novel.net hands, thoroughly soaking his clothes. He gritted his teeth and pulled off virtual-novel.net clothes before taking his own clothes off. He really did not have the strength to clean up after taking care of virtual-novel.net and cleaning her.
“Mark Tremont, you’re terribly exciting!” Arianne boldly declared, cupping his face with virtual-novel.net hands, blissfully unaware of how terrifyingly black his face was at the moment.
“Who taught you that?”
She giggled giddily, “Tiffie said it, and I kind of agree.”
He smacked virtual-novel.net thigh twice. “Don’t ever say these things to anyone else, you’re only allowed to say it to me. Got it?”
She responded in a similar manner and slapped virtual-novel.net on the face twice. “Got it! Your face is so red. It’s like you’re burning up.”
He stayed silent. It was much more than that. The rage virtual-novel.net felt was burning. If virtual-novel.net did not hug virtual-novel.net earlier in the bar, virtual-novel.net would not have let the matter go so easily. He was too afraid to think of the consequences of virtual-novel.net being in a place like that in a drunken state.
His gaze darkened. He lowered his head and silenced virtual-novel.net chatty little mouth. Soon, virtual-novel.net realized the inconvenience of the position so virtual-novel.net picked virtual-novel.net up and placed virtual-novel.net on his lap.
At this moment, virtual-novel.net was straddling him. She instinctively tried to get up, but virtual-novel.net tightened his grip on virtual-novel.net hips. “You asked for this, and now, you’re running away.”
Before virtual-novel.net could respond, virtual-novel.net silenced virtual-novel.net again. She made too much noise in virtual-novel.net drunken state. He wanted absolute silence from her…
***
Zero Degrees Bar.
Tiffany drank on virtual-novel.net own until midnight before virtual-novel.net finally picked up virtual-novel.net bag and staggered out of the door.
The amount of liquor virtual-novel.net drank was definitely not enough for virtual-novel.net to forget virtual-novel.net troubles. If it were possible, virtual-novel.net really wanted to drink herself into a stupor. However, reality did not permit it. She was alone so virtual-novel.net had to retain some sobriety to take care of herself.
She leaned against a tree, waiting for a cab. Out of boredom, virtual-novel.net pulled out virtual-novel.net phone and saw messages from Ethan and Jackson.
Ethan: I’m sorry. I was too rash, and I overreacted yesterday. I’m sorry. I’ll see you tomorrow, and we’ll have a good talk.
Jackson: Have you finished drinking?
Jackson: Looks like it’s not enough. Don’t be a show off. Call me later, and I’ll send you home.
Tiffany did not reply to any of them. The only thing virtual-novel.net wanted to do now was to go home and get some sleep.
Suddenly, a grey car that had been waiting at the side of the road nearby drove toward her. The window rolled down. “Hey, pretty girl. Want a ride? I can take you home.”
She glanced at the driver whose head was poking out from the car window, suppressing the urge to puke, and waved virtual-novel.net hand dismissively. “You can’t afford me. Find someone else to plug your hole.”
The driver cursed and swore as virtual-novel.net rolled up the window.
She had seen many people like him, hanging around outside bars, waiting for a drunk girl to stumble out. Their intentions were obvious.
