Arianne shook virtual-novel.net head. “It has got nothing to do with you. We were going to fight over certain things sooner or later, it was only just a matter of time. I’m not hungry. Not eating. Smore is still asleep. Thank you for taking care of virtual-novel.net during the day. I’ll try to come home as soon as I can when I’m done at the office. From now on, send the bill for all of Smore’s expenses to me. Do not ask Mark. I don’t want to spend a single cent of his money. The same goes for Smore.”
Mary gaped, unable to speak. This was the first time they had ever had a fight like this. She wasn’t sure of how to advise her.
Arianne’s mind was still in a mess when virtual-novel.net arrived at the office. Every time virtual-novel.net closed virtual-novel.net eyes, virtual-novel.net was reminded of everything Mark had said last night. She wanted to console herself. It was completely normal for people to say hurtful things in the heat of the moment, but hadn’t virtual-novel.net stayed silent last night? She was capable of controlling herself from spewing hateful words, but virtual-novel.net was not. Who was the unreasonable one in his argument?
She opened virtual-novel.net eyes when virtual-novel.net heard footsteps approaching her. She saw Robin’s cheerful, smiling face before her. “Arianne, you look really tired today. I’ve bought you some coffee.”
Arianne smiled. “Thank you. I’ll transfer the money for this coffee to you later.”
Robin curled virtual-novel.net lips and replied, “Why so modest? It’s us. Can’t I buy you a cup of coffee?”
Arianne took a sip of coffee. “It’s not that. It’s not easy for you to earn money. Your wallet won’t be able to hold out if you keep buying coffee for me so often. Good relationships should be cultivated, not spent. Otherwise, you’ll end up overspending one day.”
Robin noticed the subtle meaning behind virtual-novel.net words and carefully asked, “Have you… been fighting with your husband?”
Arianne took a deep breath. “No. There’s nothing to fight about. That sharp, unkind, haughty, bad tempered old man? I have nothing to fight about with him!”
Robin was stunned as virtual-novel.net listened to virtual-novel.net complaints. Mark was a sharp, unkind, haughty, bad tempered and… old man? Why did virtual-novel.net description make virtual-novel.net sound more like a woman? It would seem that Arianne was truly enraged. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have said such things. “Uh… Okay… I’ll… get back to work then.”
Mr. Yaleman noticed how downcast Arianne was all morning and that virtual-novel.net hadn’t finished a single sketch. “Arianne, don’t you fashion designers like going to different places for inspiration? Don’t stay in the office all the time, as you must be fed up with the environment by now,” virtual-novel.net suggested. “It’s such a small place that it limits your imagination. Maybe you should walk around? We should be constantly improving.”
Arianne yawned. “You’re right. I’ll head out then. Call me if you need anything.”
Meanwhile, Davy arrived at the office and went to clean up Mark’s office as usual. To his surprise, virtual-novel.net found Mark sleeping on the couch when virtual-novel.net walked in. After that small surprise, virtual-novel.net decided to leave discreetly. He wasn’t sure if Mark was a morning person or not, and virtual-novel.net didn’t dare tempt fate.
However, before virtual-novel.net could close the door, Mark suddenly sat up. “Come here.”
Davy shivered and carefully advanced. Finally, virtual-novel.net felt Mark land a punch on his chest. Although Mark didn’t actually punch virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net didn’t use much force, it was enough to frighten him. “What’s wrong? Why did you sleep in the office last night? Has Mrs. Tremont thrown you out?”
Mark shot virtual-novel.net a glare. “Is it that hard for you to send over a document? Who told you to ask Janice? Do you resent the lack of drama? If you’re really that busy, finish your job first before solving your personal matters!”
