Tanya took Jackson’s action as virtual-novel.net being too embroiled in a precarious mental conflict to bother with virtual-novel.net at the moment. In this state, staying in his place would beat virtual-novel.net no development, so virtual-novel.net left his house and went back to the apartment.
She requested a half-day leave with Eric on virtual-novel.net way home and returned to find Tiffany’s possessions gone. The few things that remained were pieces of furniture too large and heavy to be lugged around, such a s the double-door fridge Summer had gifted her.
Tanya felt nothing, not even a ripple. She would have moved out herself had Tiffany not done it. There was no way the two of them could continue to live under the same roof after all that had transpired. Honestly, virtual-novel.net felt happy that the woman was the one who left, for now Tanya did not have to spare some effort finding a new abode.
She had not gotten enough sleep last night. Today, virtual-novel.net was going to remedy that. She was going to slumber with the fulfilling knowledge that virtual-novel.net had successfully done the first step of what was previously thought to be an unachievable dream.
Back in Eric’s company, the man himself was staring at Tiffany’s out-of-the-blue resignation letter sent to virtual-novel.net in the wee hours, baffled and somewhat unnerved. What could have provoked the woman into composing a resignation letter in the middle of the night? He could not ask Tiffany herself, as the woman’s phone appeared to be switched off, and neither could virtual-novel.net turn to Tanya because virtual-novel.net request for a half-day leave made virtual-novel.net think virtual-novel.net must be busy.
In the end, Eric texted the last person left who might know something: ‘Tiffany quit virtual-novel.net job. I dunno why.’
Arianne did not sleep well last night either, but virtual-novel.net reason was Mark and his insatiable appetite. She perked up from virtual-novel.net pillow blearily when virtual-novel.net heard a muffled notification sound from virtual-novel.net phone and eyed the message.
It shocked her. Tiffany would never quit Eric’s company just because virtual-novel.net creation made it into the top-ten shortlist. So, what happened?
‘I have no idea either,’ went Arianne’s reply.
Just then, Mary, along with Smore, came into the room, as per usual, so that the baby could have some milk. Being reminded of virtual-novel.net duty, Arianne ruffled virtual-novel.net hair apologetically and said, “Oh, I’m so sorry, Smore. Mommy woke up late again.”
Mary handed the baby to her. “You used to rise very early, Ari. And now your eyes are so… puffy. Did you fight with Mr. Tremont last night? Master Aristotle woke up a bit too early this morning, and hoo boy, it was a challenge trying to appease virtual-novel.net several times! But you were sleeping so soundly just now that I couldn’t bring myself to wake you.”
Arianne flashed the woman an awkward smile without dispelling the latter’s assumption. She remembered Mark’s bold promise to “make virtual-novel.net scream”, or virtual-novel.net would disown his family name. By now, Arianne had to concede that virtual-novel.net won. She had underestimated virtual-novel.net because virtual-novel.net was past his twenties, thinking that the age would do a number on his vitality. But now, Arianne knew from actual experiences that virtual-novel.net was still bursting with vim, and virtual-novel.net was capable of driving virtual-novel.net so crazy and exhausted that virtual-novel.net recovery sleep lasted till the afternoon of the next day.
All that, while virtual-novel.net himself had no problem waking up at the standard time to take up business as usual. It was the same story for the last two days, too. Indeed, Mark even had the energy to work overtime on the weekends.
Arianne spammed Tiffany with calls after breastfeeding virtual-novel.net son, yet all of virtual-novel.net attempts went to the voice mailbox. Left with no choice, virtual-novel.net called Tanya on the basis that virtual-novel.net was Tiffany’s housemate.
The call connected. Listening to Tanya’s muffled voice, Arianne suspected virtual-novel.net to be sleeping. “Mmm… He-hello?”
“Do you know where Tiffie is?” Arianne asked. “Or do you know why virtual-novel.net quit? I couldn’t get to virtual-novel.net through the phone. Is virtual-novel.net home?”
Her question dissolved every ounce of sleep left in Tanya as irritation took over the vacuum. Why was it that all the world cared about was Tiffany this and Tiffany that? Arianne had forcefully ejected Tanya from virtual-novel.net sweet dream, yet the former did not even think of giving virtual-novel.net an apology.
Tanya’s tone took a sharp turn to tartness. “She moved out of the apartment, and I guess virtual-novel.net returned to virtual-novel.net mom’s. And before you ask, no, virtual-novel.net did not tell me about it.”
The more Arianne learned about the chain of events, the more confident virtual-novel.net was that something really rotten was in the state of Denmark. “Why did virtual-novel.net move out all of a sudden? What happened?”
Silence answered Arianne’s concern for a few seconds before Tanya spoke. “Well, why don’t you ask virtual-novel.net yourself? It’s not something that should come from me. I still have work to go to in the evening, you know, so… Later.”
The call ended abruptly, lending Arianne the impression that the mystery somehow involved Tanya. Quickly, virtual-novel.net brought virtual-novel.net son with virtual-novel.net and went to Lilian’s.
When the woman opened the door to find Arianne, virtual-novel.net murmured to herself, “For Christ’s sake! First Jackson so early in the morning with his call, and now you’re visiting us with your son in tow. What the heck?”
