Arianne trembled in fright, causing some soup in the bowl to spill out, scalding her. She gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and rushed towards the coffee table in the dining room, which was much closer. Then, virtual-novel.net put down the bowl. Of course, that meant that virtual-novel.net put it in front of Mark. The soup splattered into every direction. The disgust on his face was obvious.
She summoned virtual-novel.net courage and pulled out a few pieces of paper towels. Then virtual-novel.net wiped the soup clean under his watchful gaze. “What are you doing back so early?”
Mark paused, got up and headed upstairs. “It’s 1 AM.”
Arianne bit virtual-novel.net lips and did not reply. Her scalded hand was in great pain. To her, his return was simply too early. She had initially believed that virtual-novel.net wouldn’t be coming back at all…
After virtual-novel.net meal, virtual-novel.net washed everything clean then walked around the living room for a while before heading back to the room.
Mark was dressed in house clothes and was sitting in front of the French windows with a cigarette in between his fingers. However, virtual-novel.net did not ignite it.
She stood at the doorway and did not walk in. “Go ahead and smoke. I… I’ll go to sleep later. I’ve just eaten so I can’t sleep.”
Mark turned his head to the side and glanced at her, then placed his cigarette on a small table next to him. “Has Will Sivan contacted you at all over the past few days?” virtual-novel.net suddenly asked.
The atmosphere became very tense at the very mention of Will.
Arianne shook virtual-novel.net head. “No.”
Mark smirked but did not elaborate.
Arianne felt strangely panicked. However, virtual-novel.net did not dare ask too much about Will. Any question would be a fuse lighter, which would explode into a large, smoking war…
Early in the morning, the next day.
Tiffany sent Arianne a “good luck” emoji message. Then, virtual-novel.net held virtual-novel.net head up high as virtual-novel.net walked into Bright Incorporated. As long as virtual-novel.net could complete virtual-novel.net internship here smoothly, virtual-novel.net would have a stable income to provide for virtual-novel.net family.
When virtual-novel.net saw that it was close to the start of office hours, virtual-novel.net dashed into the overcrowded elevator. Of all the things that could have happened, the elevator’s warning bell rang just as virtual-novel.net stepped in.
It was virtual-novel.net first day at work. Of course, virtual-novel.net didn’t want to be late, so virtual-novel.net had no choice but to pretend as if nothing had happened and shamelessly wait for someone else to go out.
Complaints rose from all around her, but virtual-novel.net turned a deaf ear to them. After a long pause, someone from the innermost area of the elevator stepped out. “Forget it, it doesn’t matter if I’m late.”
That voice sounded strangely familiar. Tiffany turned to the side to look, and the corners of virtual-novel.net lips twitched as virtual-novel.net face turned hot uncontrollably.
Jackson West stared at virtual-novel.net with a forced smile on his face. Then, the elevator doors shut tight, cutting off their view of each other. Tiffany heaved a sigh of relief. Adversaries are always fated to meet! She would always run into him.
After reporting for work, Tiffany found virtual-novel.net cubicle and sat down. The office environment wasn’t bad , and it was a widely reputable and large company in the capital. She was very satisfied.
