Jackson took a deep breath. His woman had been suffering under someone else’s hands and was driven to tears. Aside from heartache, virtual-novel.net felt enraged as well, “Alright, alright. Don’t cry. Where are you? I’ll come over and pick you up right now. Stay right where you are and don’t move, okay? What kind of a horrible company are they? Don’t be angry, forget them!”
Tiffany sniffed, told virtual-novel.net where virtual-novel.net was, and waited for virtual-novel.net at the side of the road. The weather was gradually turning cold and it wasn’t hot anymore. Sometimes, a gentle breeze would pass and put virtual-novel.net emotions slightly more at ease.
Soon, Jackson’s luxurious sports car stopped at the side of the road. When virtual-novel.net got into the car and saw him, virtual-novel.net broke down again. She leaned against his shoulder and sobbed, “I feel so useless, I’ve been fired… I’m so pissed…”
Jackson patted virtual-novel.net on the back soothingly as virtual-novel.net turned towards the office floor, not too far away. That company wasn’t even fit to lick his boots, yet they’d brought grief upon his woman!
On the way home, virtual-novel.net carefully asked, “If you… still want a job, how about coming over to my subsidiary company? It’s just a little far off in the northern district. Since you’ re not comfortable with working in the main branch, the subsidiary branch should be fine, right? Don’t worry, I won’t have any influence in the hiring process so you can expand on your own. You don’t have to worry about the working environment. It’s definitely good. I’ll leave the office two hours early every day to pick you up, after all, it’s a little far off. It’ll take two hours to get home. Stay at my place, okay?”
Tiffany hesitated, “Won’t that be troublesome? The northern district is a bit far. It’ll take around four hours, to and fro. We can do a lot in four hours, but it’ll be wasted on travel time… I don’t mind working at your main branch, but you mustn’t reveal our relationship, or people will think of me differently. We’ll have to keep it a secret, at least until the wedding…”
Jackson cheered up once virtual-novel.net relented, “That’s more like it. I promise to follow your wishes. Then it’s agreed, right? You can go over to human resources for your interview tomorrow. Since you’ve worked there before, you’ll receive priority.”
Tiffany nodded, “Okay, I’ll go tomorrow. I’m sorry for disturbing you at work. You can drop me off at home and go back to the office. I’d like a big meal tonight to feel better, you can keep me company tonight!”
Jackson reached out and stroked virtual-novel.net long hair, “It’s fine. I won’t go back to the office. We’ll do whatever you like.”
Tiffany suddenly felt sluggish, “I… want to sleep now.”
Jackson was surprised that virtual-novel.net was still in the mood for sleep at this time, “Uh… Then come over to my place. You can sleep, and once you’re up, we can have a big meal.” Only virtual-novel.net was capable of doing such a thing, crying from anger, then going to sleep and enjoying a big meal. He was beginning to wonder if virtual-novel.net really had been in shock… Wouldn’t a normal person be depressed?
The dessert café.
Arianne went back to the condo once virtual-novel.net had some spare time. She now had an old woman who required virtual-novel.net constant care and attention. She was always worried.
She was stupefied when virtual-novel.net arrived at home. The old woman was gone!
The house was small enough, so virtual-novel.net could tell at a single glance. Where could a handicapped old woman have possibly run off to? She panicked. She had rushed straight to the shop from the hotel and had been preoccupied until 5pm. The old woman did not call virtual-novel.net during this time. Only Mark had contacted her, telling virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net would be going back to the capital.
It had been less than five hours since virtual-novel.net left the condominium. Where could virtual-novel.net have run off to?
Just as virtual-novel.net was fumbling over virtual-novel.net phone to call the police, virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net had received a message from Mark. She did not have time to read it, as virtual-novel.net had been busy: ‘I’ve taken granny back to the capital. She asked to come with me. It’s inconvenient for you to continue to take care of virtual-novel.net anyway. I’ll do it for you. We’re leaving. You can visit virtual-novel.net in the capital whenever you miss her.’
She heaved a sigh of relief. However, at the same time, virtual-novel.net felt that the situation wasn’t as simple as it seemed. Regardless of whether the old woman had agreed to leave with Mark or not, Mark Tremont would certainly have had some benefit from agreeing to this. Was this one of his ways of persuading virtual-novel.net to go back to the capital?
After calming down, virtual-novel.net poured herself a glass of water and downed it. She hadn’t even had time to drink water, and virtual-novel.net had received a terrible fright…
Mark’s phone was still turned off when virtual-novel.net called him, which also meant that they were still on the plane. She felt that the situation had grown complicated. She had initially intended on dragging the time out, then having a civil conversation with Mark after a year. Would virtual-novel.net still have a choice now that the old woman was with him? Perhaps virtual-novel.net might end up having to go back to virtual-novel.net in the capital in less than a year.
She gave Tiffany a video call instead. In times like this, talking things out with someone else would allow virtual-novel.net to relieve virtual-novel.net mind from its frustrations. When the video call was answered, Tiffany still had virtual-novel.net eyes closed. “Ari…” virtual-novel.net mumbled, looking like virtual-novel.net was still asleep, “I’m sleeping. What is it?”
Arianne swallowed virtual-novel.net bitter grievances, “Why are you sleeping at a time like this? Alright… Go back to sleep. I’m fine…”
