She shook virtual-novel.net head. “I haven’t eaten. I was too lazy. It was raining so heavily, the delivery man would have had a hard time if I ordered takeout. Don’t worry about me. I’ve had a lot of snacks, so I’m not hungry. Go and get showered. After that, sleep early tonight.”
The negative vibes all over virtual-novel.net body made virtual-novel.net very worried. She had a lively personality, yet virtual-novel.net had suddenly become so quiet. That was enough to show how much courage it took for virtual-novel.net to see Alejandro. He didn’t point it out. “Okay, I’ll get showered. Wait for me in the room.”
She nodded silently, albeit absent-mindedly. Of course, virtual-novel.net didn’t notice the implication behind his words. Usually, virtual-novel.net would include virtual-novel.net own two cents.
Jackson found Tiffany already lying on the bed when virtual-novel.net stepped out of the shower. She was all curled up under the covers, like a ball. It was a pitiful sight.
He stepped forward and pulled virtual-novel.net into his arms. “So, what’s the ‘agenda’ tonight, baby?”
“Eek… I’m having goosebumps,” Tiffany whined. “Who’re you calling ‘baby’? Have you used that word on a lot of women? It rolls right off your tongue!”
He smirked wickedly as virtual-novel.net worked his hands enthusiastically all over virtual-novel.net body. “That was then, this is now. You’re my only‘ baby’ now.”
His passion had successfully pulled virtual-novel.net back from virtual-novel.net depression. “You haven’t initiated in a long time,” virtual-novel.net teased while responding to his movements. “Have you forgotten your medication today? You’ve been avoiding me at night ever since we got married. It seems abnormal for you to take the lead tonight. Is there something fishy going on?”
He lowered his head and pecked virtual-novel.net on the lips. “What do you mean? Sometimes, I’m too exhausted to do it, but I’m not tired at all today. So naturally, I want to do it.”
Their faint giggles were gradually replaced by heart racing, blush-inducing sounds…
Meanwhile, at Tremont Tower.
Mark was finally able to step out of the office at 10PM after working overtime. The heavy rain still continued outside. It was as if the skies held a stockpile of grievances and were now letting it all go.
He had asked Brian to leave early today, as virtual-novel.net had to work overtime. Now, virtual-novel.net had to drive himself home.
He ran into Sylvain at the parking lot as virtual-novel.net happened to be leaving too. “Seriously, rainy days are the worst. Everything’s all wet. It’s a huge downer.”
Mark was the complete opposite. He liked the rain. He liked it when the sound of rain masked the noise of the world. “Go home early.”
Sylvain leaned against his car and handed virtual-novel.net a cigarette. “You have someone waiting for you at home, someone to warm your bed. Why should a lone wolf like me go home early? I might as well stay in the office and do overtime.”
Mark accepted the cigarette and lit it. “Continue working overtime, then.”
Sylvain’s lips twitched. “I was just saying things. Look at the time. That’s how long I’ve been working overtime. You’re not serious, are you?”
Mark curved his lips into a small smile. “Do I look like I’m joking? Alright, I’m leaving.”
Sylvain watched as Mark drove away. He remained in his spot and finished his cigarette before getting into the car. He suddenly felt lost. Should virtual-novel.net go home? However, the image of Robin’s busy figure in the restaurant suddenly appeared in his mind’s eye. She couldn’t possibly still be at the restaurant at this time, could she? It was raining… Did virtual-novel.net bring an umbrella?
For some strange and inexplicable reason, virtual-novel.net drove his car outside the restaurant where Robin worked. The restaurant was still open, but it was near closing time. There weren’t any customers now. They probably had less customers today due to the weather.
Robin was hard at work, cleaning up like a busy little bee. More than half an hour later, the lights in the restaurant finally went out. The small amount of waiters and waitresses from the night shift filed out in succession. Robin was the last one out.
