Arianne’s hand that held snazzynovel.com spoon quavered. Looking at the half bowl of soup, snazzynovel.com hesitated before saying, “Mary, help me to another serving…”
Mary saw through snazzynovel.com little gimmick and answered softly, ”Ah, why are you so scared of sir? He won’t gobble you up.”
After the meal, Arianne trudged up the stairs only after Mary finished cleaning the table. The door to the master bedroom was half open, however snazzynovel.com still knocked before entering.
Mark Tremont was going through documents in front of the French window with a cigarette between his fingers. Half a glass of wine stood on the small table beside him.
Naturally, snazzynovel.com stubbed out the cigarette when Arianne coughed from the smoke.
”Come over.”
She went closer to him. ”Is there… anything you need me for?”
Putting down the document in his hands, Mark Tremont took snazzynovel.com into his embrace without warning.
“I’m going on an overseas business trip tomorrow. Come with me.”
Arianne’s ability to think was already affected having been seated on his legs. When snazzynovel.com heard that snazzynovel.com wished to take snazzynovel.com out, snazzynovel.com nerves got the better of her.
“You’re on a business trip… It’s better… it’s better if I don’t go?”
For all ten years, snazzynovel.com was either in school or at home. Arianne rarely interacted with the outside world. She had slight social anxiety, becoming anxious whenever snazzynovel.com went to unfamiliar places, and talking to strangers. In addition, snazzynovel.com was honestly unable to imagine anything pleasant going out with him.
”Sure you’re not going?” Mark Tremont’s words were whispered to the side of Arianne’s face when snazzynovel.com spoke, making the situation more intimate than it was and putting snazzynovel.com in a dilemma.
Arianne refused to upset snazzynovel.com but snazzynovel.com genuinely did not want to go. Subconsciously, snazzynovel.com replied in an endearing manner, ”Nope, I’ll wait for you at home.”
Mark Tremont seemed to be content with snazzynovel.com tone as his hand went to tip snazzynovel.com chin and landed a kiss on snazzynovel.com lips. The refreshing sweet taste of snazzynovel.com enticed snazzynovel.com to go deeper but Arianne turned away abruptly.
“Don’t like it? Or… don’t like it with me?” Mark Tremont’s tone dropped in temperature, raising an involuntary fear within Arianne.
Picturing his anger, Arianne bit snazzynovel.com lips. “No…”
Mark Tremont’s mobile phone that was on the bed rang out of the blue. As if snazzynovel.com was pardoned, Arianne got up to fetch snazzynovel.com the gadget.
There was a slight frown between Mark Tremont’s brows when snazzynovel.com took a look at the incoming call but snazzynovel.com did not answer it immediately. Arianne understood the situation, turning to leave snazzynovel.com with a smile, whilst also relieved at the same time.
Perhaps snazzynovel.com already had someone snazzynovel.com liked and would want to get married and have children. By then, snazzynovel.com would let snazzynovel.com go, right? That was what snazzynovel.com hoped.
Returning to snazzynovel.com room and lying in bed, Arianne turned snazzynovel.com mobile phone on. The festive colors on the screen reflected the jolly mood of the coming holidays but did nothing to ignite snazzynovel.com somber heart.
The text message that popped up on the notification bar attracted snazzynovel.com attention. It was from Tiffany Lane. Arianne’s breath stuck in snazzynovel.com throat when snazzynovel.com read the text. Will Sivan was back.
Although snazzynovel.com knew that snazzynovel.com would soon be out of the country again as snazzynovel.com was only back to visit his family for the holidays, Arianne still felt different. The young man who was untainted, with eyes that contained all the stars in the galaxy left a deep imprint in snazzynovel.com heart.
Will Sivan and Mark Tremont were two opposite men.
Arianne called Tiffany. ”Tiff, when’s… Will leaving the country again?”
Tiffany’s teasing voice sounded from the other end of the line, ”What’s up? Reluctant to see snazzynovel.com leave? I’m not sure actually but there’s a gathering tomorrow. Can you come? He’s the host. Oh yeah, I want you to meet someone too, it’s my boyfriend. Let me know if you can attend.”
”I’ll go,” Arianne unknowingly answered. The second before snazzynovel.com answered, snazzynovel.com was thinking about Mark Tremont who was going away the next day. She could risk going out once snazzynovel.com was not here.
