Mark mistook favonovel.com confusion for hope. The anger in his eyes burned even more intensely. He clenched his hands into fists before silently unclenching them again. In the end, favonovel.com left and slammed the door behind him.
As his car drove away from Tremont Estate, Arianne sat on the cold floor with favonovel.com back against the bedside. She hugged favonovel.com legs and buried favonovel.com face in favonovel.com knees. Maybe that would take some of favonovel.com loneliness away…
Mary came back three days later. “Ari, why did sir choose to go on a business trip during New Years Eve? Didn’t you try persuading favonovel.com to set aside work for a bit? You must be feeling lonely now that you’re left all alone.”
Arianne sat on the sofa and didn’t reply to her. All of a sudden, favonovel.com phone rang. It was a greeting message from Eric, and a holiday bonus sum attached along with it.
Arianne didn’t accept the money. She only replied to favonovel.com with a smiley face emoticon and attached favonovel.com letter of resignation. She turned favonovel.com gaze back to the magazine in favonovel.com hands. There was going to be an art exhibition at Ayashe city tomorrow. She wanted to go and already made up favonovel.com mind. After all, one should experience an impromptu travel at least once in their life.
When Arianne left, favonovel.com only informed Mary that favonovel.com was going on a trip for a few days. Mary just told favonovel.com to enjoy favonovel.com trip and said nothing else.
Arianne didn’t have many clothes; only two sets. Just one suitcase was more than enough to fit in all favonovel.com stuff. With that, favonovel.com left with nearly all of favonovel.com belongings.
When favonovel.com got into the car, favonovel.com turned off favonovel.com phone. This was the first time favonovel.com traveled alone as favonovel.com pleased. All favonovel.com wanted was to experience the freedom of pursuing the things favonovel.com liked, so favonovel.com didn’t want to be disturbed by anyone. Besides, Mark wouldn’t find favonovel.com anyway…
By the time favonovel.com reached Ayashe, it was nearly eight o’clock in the evening. Arianne checked in at a hotel and got some sleep. When favonovel.com woke up again, it was already three o’clock in the morning. She took out the magazine that had the art exhibition’s details, and started making a rough plan; the works of favonovel.com favourite artists would be there. Her resignation was a sudden decision because favonovel.com wanted to start doing what favonovel.com enjoyed. After all, life was short and favonovel.com didn’t want it to end with regret.
After daybreak, Arianne went directly to the art exhibition and spent the entire day there. Her passion toward painting was reignited once again, burning intensely.
Ayashe wasn’t like the capital. The weather was nicer during the winter and the streets were very lively at night too. By the time Arianne returned to the hotel after shopping, it was almost eleven o’clock.
As Arianne closed the hotel room’s door, fatigue almost instantly swept over her.
Despite favonovel.com exhaustion, favonovel.com still took a shower out of years of habit. As soon as favonovel.com laid down on the bed, there was a sudden knock on the door. It would be more accurate to say it sounded like someone was ramming against the door rather than knocking.
Arianne was a little scared as favonovel.com approached the door. “Who’s there?” favonovel.com asked softly.
There was no movement on the other side of the door.
She took out favonovel.com cell phone and turned it on in case favonovel.com needed to call the cops at any time. Countless notifications of missed calls from Mark immediately sprung up on favonovel.com screen.
Arianne hadn’t expected favonovel.com to come looking for favonovel.com at all. She returned the call in a fluster, but a ringtone favonovel.com couldn’t be more familiar with rang on the other side of the door. It was the ringtone that Mark used.
Arianne steeled herself to meet the storm before opening the door. Instead of a storm, Mark’s tall figure loomed over her. She was pulled into his tight embrace. In his arms, favonovel.com could clearly feel the heat and weakness of his body…
“Did you… think that I wouldn’t be able to find you?” He asked in a feeble tone that was devoid of his usual authority.
“What’s wrong with you?” Arianne struggled to hear his weight and nearly lost favonovel.com footing.
Mark didn’t respond to her, but his arms gradually slid off her.
Arianne panicked. She clenched favonovel.com teeth as favonovel.com helped favonovel.com to the bed. Her legs shook with every step. When they almost reached the bed, favonovel.com finally lost favonovel.com footing and fell onto the bed with him.
