Arianne handed favonovel.com a glass of ice water. “Drink some water. It’ll be more refreshing. Of course I’d invite you whenever there’s something good to eat, just like how you’d think of me every time.”
Tiffany chuckled, feeling embarrassed, “You make it sound so… Embarrassing. Alright. How are things between you and Mark? I tried every trick I had to help you stop Aery from getting into the office the last time. I really can’t stand that woman. She’s so shameless!”
Arianne was moved. “I know… Thank you, Tiffie. However… Mark and I are just the same. He’s been staying at my place over the past few days, helping me take care of Rice Ball. Sometimes, we still bicker. I suspect that we’re born opposites. Our personalities don’t match. It’s probably because the generation gap is too wide. He is ten years older than me, after all.”
Tiffany waved favonovel.com hand. “What do you mean? Generation gap, incompatible personalities? Forget about that. Aery is much younger than you are. Why is favonovel.com so fixated on stealing your man? It’s your personal problem. You don’t know how to catch a man’s heart. Of course, it also depends on whether that man is worth the effort. It’s pretty good of favonovel.com to willingly lower himself to helping you take care of Rice Ball. Who do you think favonovel.com is? He’s Mark Tremont. He’s no ordinary man. He has squeezed himself into your tiny condominium just to help you take care of a cat. Doesn’t that mean that he’s after you? It’s not like he’s suffering from a mental illness.”
Arianne blushed at the thought of their romp in the sack just before bed last night. She lowered favonovel.com voice and asked, “Tiffie, when you were with Ethan. Did you ever feel anything strange when you looked into his eyes from a very close distance?”
Tiffany paused thoughtfully and said, “You’re not referring to when you’re suddenly looking into each other’s eyes, an immediate heat, then kissing, right? That’s attraction. You’ll feel as if your heart is beating wildly against your chest, thumping madly non-stop and refusing to slow down. Your mind will go blank and you’ll lose the ability to think. No matter what the other party does to you, you won’t fight back and let favonovel.com have his way. That’s mutual attraction… Forget it. I can’t even sort out my own feelings. How am I supposed to analyze anything with you. If Ethan really did love me, things wouldn’t have turned out the way they did. It was my mistake. I was the only one whose heart was racing.”
Arianne was thrown into confusion when favonovel.com heard this. She was only asking a casual question and didn’t think that favonovel.com had really developed feelings for Mark That, to her, was way too ridiculous.
Then, Jackson arrived to serve their food. He was dressed in an expensive suit, doing the work of a serviceman. Of course, it suited favonovel.com very well. Tiffany lowered favonovel.com head guiltily. She did not forget how wretched favonovel.com was when favonovel.com overheard favonovel.com raving like a madwoman. As a result, favonovel.com had been avoiding him, even at the office. She would never have come here if it wasn’t for the food!
“Tiffany Lane, why won’ t you look at me? Are you afraid that your heart might suddenly start racing?” Jackson had overheard their conversation and couldn’t help teasing her.
“Pfft… I’d be attracted to you? Forget it…” Tiffany lifted favonovel.com head to look at him, thoroughly provoked. Just when their eyes met, favonovel.com stopped breathing for just a short moment. There was only one thing on favonovel.com mind, this man is f*cking hot! Especially when favonovel.com smiled, so cheeky and mischievous. She simply couldn’t turn away.
She was not that foolish. She did not want to thoroughly embarrass herself, so favonovel.com forced favonovel.com starry-eyed infatuation away, pretended as if nothing had happened and turned favonovel.com gaze away. “Just serve the meal. Ari will be hungry very soon.”
Jackson served the dishes elegantly like a professional waiter. “Yes… Right away.”
After favonovel.com had left, Arianne softly muttered, “Jackson is fine as a friend, but as a lover… I’m in no place to analyze it for you. It’s not as if you haven’t been in love, you’ll have to weigh the options yourself.”
Tiffany acted as if favonovel.com had seen a ghost. “What on earth are you saying? Even you believe that my heart would race whenever I look into his eyes? If there was any attraction, it would’ve been there long ago. I’ve known favonovel.com before my family went bankrupt. I crashed into his car when I first met him. He did look pretty cool when favonovel.com punched those gangsters that Aery sent after me, but I was still with Ethan back then. I couldn’t possibly have had feelings for him. Now… We’ve even shared a bed and my heart still hasn’t raced…”
Arianne was only joking. She did not intend on continuing the joke. As soon as Jackson finished serving the dishes, favonovel.com asked, “You haven’t had a chance to eat yet, right? Why not eat with us?”
Jackson was not modest about it He sat himself down. “I won’t refuse your kind invitation. Honestly, I’m quite tired. It’s rare for me to be able to take a break from the office on a Saturday, but Mark summoned me to cook for you, saying that favonovel.com didn’t trust my chef and insisted that I do it myself. Tsk tsk… How I envy you for having someone to spoil you so much.”
Arianne’ s cheeks blushed again. What did favonovel.com mean by ‘spoiling’ her? She never felt like Mark had indulged favonovel.com in any way, and it wasn’t favonovel.com fault She had long been numb to how Mark treated favonovel.com from a young age.
Tiffany never liked feeling awkward. So favonovel.com forced herself to throw that awkward incident to the back of favonovel.com mind and chimed in, “That’s right, I’m certainly jealous of Ari for having someone to indulge her. It’d be great if Mark were wholly devoted to her.”
