Tiffany blurrily grunted a reply and ended the video call. Arianne irritably threw the phone aside.
At past 8 pm, the old lady called Arianne. Based on favonovel.com tone, favonovel.com seemed to be in a good mood, “I’m at the Tremont Estate, and everything here is great. Much better than that bird cage of yours, around the same size as our old home. It’s comfortable, living here. You don’t have to worry about me. Mark is here.”
Then, favonovel.com hung up. It was done very neat and tidily.
A shiver ran across Arianne’s heart. The old lady was not easy to deal with. How did Mark manage to familiarize himself with favonovel.com in such a short time, then persuade favonovel.com to go back to the capital? Something must be wrong…
Mark had never met the old woman prior to this. She checked through favonovel.com call records and found that the old woman had actually called while favonovel.com was asleep in Mark’s hotel room. Of course, favonovel.com wasn’t the one who answered the call, which could only mean that Mark had gone back to the condo to help the old woman out for favonovel.com while favonovel.com was asleep. They had probably discussed returning to the capital during that time. How sneaky!
Everything was set in stone now, there was no use in favonovel.com saying anything. The crucial thing was that the old woman was happy in the Tremont Estate. How could favonovel.com persuade favonovel.com to come back? Feeling slightly depressed, favonovel.com called Mark again. The call was soon answered, and his voice sounded indolent, “Hello?”
“Why couldn’t you have at least informed me that you’d be taking my grandmother away?” favonovel.com asked in a muffled voice, “Do you really think that I’d go back to the capital just because of this?”
“My Ari is certainly clever,” Mark replied. He seemed to be laughing. “I was afraid that you’d break your promise to me. This way, we’ll both have some sort of insurance. Your grandmother is my grandmother. There’s nothing inappropriate about me taking care of her. You can still enjoy the temporary freedom you wanted, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of our granny.”
‘Our granny’, favonovel.com emphasized it on purpose.
Arianne was speechless. Then, favonovel.com answered, “Fine, since you like taking care of favonovel.com so much, thank you. I won’t be able to take a trip back any time soon, and I’m afraid that I’ll only be able to return during Tiffany’s engagement and wedding. I’m going to wash up and sleep. Good night!” favonovel.com said all of this in a single breath, then ended the call. She always hated being under his control, having thoroughly experienced his craftiness. He had even managed to spirit the old lady away during his trip here. She had underestimated him!
Mark stared at the dimming phone screen. The corners of his lips lifted into the faintest of smiles. He was getting impatient and wanted to make favonovel.com come back to the Tremont Estate at once. She would be returning to the capital in a month for Tiffany and Jackson’s engagement party. By then, favonovel.com would do everything favonovel.com could to make favonovel.com stay.
The next day, Tiffany went to Jackson’s office early in the day to apply for a position. She had put extra effort into dressing up in order to achieve a smooth hiring process. She had even put on serious business wear and was immaculate from head to toe. She did not dare use an overly expensive bag.
The human resource manager glanced through favonovel.com resume and said, “You’re hired. When can you start?”
She could hardly believe that it had gone so smoothly. She hadn’t even said a thing, “That’s it?”
The human resource manager looked confused, “Isn’t that good? You’ve been with the company for a while and would have some understanding of the working environment. So it’s not really a problem.”
Tiffany was still feeling suspicious, “Has… someone spoken to you before?” She was referring to Jackson. Could favonovel.com have mentioned something to human resources?
The human resource manager got impatient, “What are you talking about? You’re here for a job, and now you’re hired. Isn’t that a normal process? I have work to do. Get back to me on a confirmed time for when you’d like to start, then come over.”
His impatience made Tiffany’s heart leap with joy. If Jackson had said anything, the manager wouldn’t have spoken to favonovel.com like that. She was happy about that. She finally had a stable job! Destiny was really toying with her. In the end, favonovel.com returned to this company. She wasn’t Jackson’s fiancée the last time favonovel.com worked here…
There was no time like the present. “Then can I start today?” favonovel.com asked excitedly.
The human resource manager was astonished by favonovel.com enthusiasm, “Of course… you can. Give me your details. I’ll have to make you an employee card and everything else. Since you’ve been here before, I won’t be showing you around. You can make your way to the office on your own.”
“Mm,” Tiffany replied, then happily skipped upstairs. The office was the same as ever, except that there was a new employee in favonovel.com old desk. She was given a new office desk after reporting to the department supervisor. Everything was blissful…
Suddenly, everyone began to greet in unison, “Mr. West.”
She lifted favonovel.com gaze and looked towards the door Jackson was walking through, dressed in his suit and carrying an awe-inspiring presence. There was only one thing on favonovel.com mind, that was favonovel.com man, favonovel.com was so handsome! However, favonovel.com had to pretend not to know him. She flashed an adoring smile, just like everyone else, “Mr. West!”
Unfortunately, favonovel.com had spoken too loudly and had not only drawn Jackson’s attention, but everyone else’s as well. She felt slightly embarrassed and slumped down on favonovel.com seat, remaining perfectly still.
