After some thought, favonovel.com pulled out favonovel.com phone and sent a message to Mark. ‘Helen came to see me. I know you sent Aery and Jean to jail. There was no need to do that. I don’t want to owe you anything. From now on, my issues are none of your business.’
A reply soon followed. ‘For as long as you’re mine, your issues will always be my business. You have the nerve to send me a message instead of telling it to my face?’
She turned favonovel.com phone off and went straight to bed. She refused to reply to his message, and favonovel.com did not have the courage to face him. She did not send favonovel.com that message to tell favonovel.com to let Aery and Jean off the hook. She simply wanted favonovel.com to stop concerning himself with favonovel.com issues. Would favonovel.com ever have a clean break with him?

The capital.
Tiffany had been running into walls continuously after favonovel.com applied for jobs in different companies. She was getting worried. She had just stepped into the house and felt the cooling air from the air conditioner. It felt so refreshing that favonovel.com quickly kicked off favonovel.com heels and made favonovel.com way to the couch.
However, before favonovel.com could even sit down, Lillian stopped her. “Stay away from the couch. Shower first. I just bought the couch, it’s really expensive. Don’t you dare lie on it with your sweaty body. You’ve been out the entire day… Did you find anything?”
Tiffany felt slightly reluctant but did not sit on the couch in the end. She was quite particular about these things as well. Moreover, favonovel.com would have to wash it if favonovel.com dirtied it. “No. I don’t have much job experience since I graduated. I only had a short stint working in Jackson’s company and didn’t contribute to any major achievements there. Every time I tell the interviewers that I used to work in Jackson’s company, their eyes would light up.”
“They’d look at the rest of my details, ask a few questions, and I’d blurt everything out. I know what I’m capable of. Even if Jackson’s company is gilded with gold, it can’t hide the fact that I suck. I’m close to becoming a dishwasher at this point. Please don’t ask, mom.”
Lillian did not complain. She looked around and asked, “Has Jackson spoken to you about this at all?”
Tiffany instinctively defended him. “He has asked me to work for him, but I refused. I want to rely on my abilities, I don’t want favonovel.com to take care of me! Don’t worry about me. Relax, I’ll make sure there’s food on the table.”
Lillian did not ask any further questions and continued binge-watching favonovel.com show.
Tiffany’s shoulders drooped as favonovel.com walked into the bathroom after taking favonovel.com pajamas out. Her phone rang before favonovel.com could take off favonovel.com clothes. She had a habit of playing songs on favonovel.com phone during shower so favonovel.com had brought favonovel.com phone with her. When favonovel.com saw Jackson’s name on the screen, favonovel.com exhaustion vanished immediately. However, favonovel.com tone sounded annoyed as favonovel.com said, “Hello… Why aren’t you asleep?”
Jackson sounded extremely resentful on the other end of the line, “Do you think I can sleep? Did you come across some kind of bullshit how-to guide on love on the internet again? Is that why you’ve been deliberately ignoring me? I can’t stand being alone at night. At this rate, I’m going to find someone else if you don’t see me!”
She chuckled innocently. “No. I haven’t been reading any guide. I’ve been job hunting. I was out the whole day, and I’m exhausted. I just got home, and I’m about to jump into the shower. I can’t even get a job. How am I supposed to deal with you? Keep sleeping alone at night, I’ll shower you with love when I have the time.”
Jackson’s resentment grew when favonovel.com heard about favonovel.com job-hunting experience. “You were doing well in my company, why won’t you come back? Why must you insist on blindly tormenting yourself? Was the salary not enough for you? By the way, I’m going over to Mark’s tomorrow. Wanna come? You can visit Arianne while you’re there.”
“Sure.” Tiffany agreed without a second thought. “I’ve been missing Ari. I’ll be able to spend some time with favonovel.com this way. What time are we leaving tomorrow? Have you bought the tickets? Send me the flight number, I’ll book the same flight.”
Jackson checked the flight number on his computer. “Tomorrow morning. Send me your identification number, I’ll buy your ticket along with mine and pick you up tomorrow.”
Tiffany did not refuse. “Sure. Do it now. I’ll transfer the money for the tickets to you later. I need a shower. I’ll talk to you later.” She felt extremely hot. After all, there was no air conditioner in the bathroom. Any longer, favonovel.com might as well be cooked in a pot.
Jackson stared blankly at his phone for a few seconds.
What did favonovel.com mean by transferring money to him?
This was his first time meeting a woman who had drawn such a clear line between favonovel.com and her. His ex-girlfriends were only too eager to empty his wallet, and yet, Tiffany did not even want favonovel.com to pay for favonovel.com flight tickets?
He felt slightly unhappy about this. He really felt as though there was some distance between them, like there was really a line between them. This was a very strange feeling to him. He had never felt this way, as though someone had reached into his chest and squeezed his heart. Nothing felt right, and it was depressing.

The next day, favonovel.com went directly to the airport without picking Tiffany up. He wanted to see if favonovel.com would sulk since favonovel.com was not considerate of her. Most women liked corny romanticism, and favonovel.com hoped favonovel.com was just like them. Otherwise, favonovel.com would feel as though favonovel.com was thrown off balance and helpless.
Tiffany was very punctual. She did not bring a lot of luggage. Instead, favonovel.com held a small bag and was dressed in a white dress with comfortable sandals on favonovel.com feet. She looked very refreshing and seemed to be in a good mood. She did not complain about his lack of consideration for not picking favonovel.com up. She smiled and waved favonovel.com hand. “I’m here!”
