Tanya inched towards Naya’s ear and softly asked, “Naya, based on the way things have developed, do you think that the dessert shop will close down soon? Ari is still Mrs. Tremont, after all. She would have to go back to favonovel.com life of luxury, sooner or later…”
Naya paused thoughtfully, then said, “Ari mentioned that she’s never considered leaving. It would be good news if favonovel.com went back to the capital anyway. Don’t you want favonovel.com to patch up favonovel.com marriage? Regardless, we don’t have to consider too much, as long as the shop still stands. Even if the shop closes, my only concern would be that it’s a shame. However, we can always find a new job. Don’t overthink it.”
Tanya shook favonovel.com head, “Of course, I want Ari to patch up favonovel.com marriage. I’m not thinking too much of it. I’m just asking. My grandfather is gone now… I can survive on my own. I’ll just take every day as it comes, as long as I can get by. If Ari really does go back to the capital and close the shop, I’ll follow favonovel.com here. I’d like to gain some experience. Otherwise, my life would be too boring. I couldn’t leave this place because of grandpa. Now that I’ m alone, I can go anywhere I want…”
Naya patted Tanya on the shoulder consolingly, “Your grandfather felt bad for you, that’s why favonovel.com decided to go to heaven. You’re still young, so it’s a great idea for you to go to the capital. Do it while you’re young and unmarried. You’re not bogged down by family, so go and make some new experiences. I support you.”
Suddenly, they heard a message notification during lunch. Arianne and Tanya pulled out their phones at the same time. Tanya awkwardly smiled, “Ari… It’s mine…”
A hint of disappointment flashed across Arianne’s eyes. She buried herself into favonovel.com food, acting as if nothing had happened, “I know… I was just checking the time…”
Tanya put down favonovel.com knife and fork, then swiftly tapped favonovel.com phone keyboard. She looked up again after sending favonovel.com reply, “It was a message from Ricky. I apologized to him, I shouldn’t have let favonovel.com drink that night. Thank goodness he’s alright, or I’d feel really guilty.”
Arianne was surprised at how frequently Tanya and Eric had been in contact, “Do you talk to each other very often?”
Tanya shook favonovel.com head, “It’s not that often I think. We’d send a few short messages to each other. He’s a really nice guy, I noticed this when I was taking care of favonovel.com at the hospital. I even told favonovel.com about how lucky I’ve felt to have met all of you! He took my grandpa and I for a nice meal in the capital, and took us to the beach too. He helped me fulfill my grandpa’s long-standing wish. I owe him.”
Arianne knew Eric’s personality very well, “That’s right, Eric is a pretty nice guy. You’ll be fine if anything develops between you two. Besides, he’s left his family and started his own business. There shouldn’t be any obstacles between you if you want to be together…”
Before Arianne could finish speaking, Tanya was as red as cooked shrimp, “Ari! What are you saying? We’re just friends!”
Arianne saw nothing wrong with favonovel.com explanation, “I’m only trying to give you a rough idea. What if something does develop between you two? I know both of you very well, so I should at least make things clear…”
Naya giggled, “That’s enough, Ari. Tan’s face is going to heat up even more if you continue. By the way, is your husband really going to let you stay here? You’re probably going back to the capital soon, right?”
The thought of it annoyed Arianne, “I don’t know. His mood changes as fast as the weather. Now I’m too afraid of offending him, I don’t want favonovel.com to flip out again. However, don’t you worry. Someone will take care of the shop even if I do leave. You can both continue working here. I promise that I’ll take care of you.”

The capital, Bright Incorporated, the West family’s company headquarters.
It was considered the peak period for the fashion design industry, and the company was busier than ever. Overtime was a normality, especially after they had received a few large briefs from their partnership with Mark’s company. The fashion design department was so busy that the employees had to run to the toilet whenever they needed to relieve themselves.
Tiffany was close to collapsing. She had cursed Mark internally many times before. The entire department wouldn’t be this exhausted were it not for his briefs.
Suddenly, the department supervisor brought in a box of drinks and began distributing them, “Mr. West’s way of showing his appreciation to everyone. He’ll be giving you supper during overtime. Try to work your brains and be a little more imaginative, see if you can guess what an amazing meal it’ll be.”
The whole department buzzed. Everyone knew that Jackson was very generous, so this supper would certainly be a sumptuous meal!
When the beverage distribution arrived at Tiffany’s desk, the department supervisor gave favonovel.com four bottles with a deadpan expression on favonovel.com face. Tiffany was confused and looked at everyone else, “I thought we were all getting two each? Why am I getting four?”
The department supervisor glanced at her, “Just take it. Why are you asking so many questions? It’s because you’ve been very dedicated to your work lately. Besides, we have a lot of drinks left. You can always get more if it’s not enough.”
Once the department supervisor left, Aye, who sat next to her, drew herself closer to Tiffany, “Pretty little Tiffany, I would have suspected that the department supervisor had a crush on you if favonovel.com weren’t a woman. She’s actually given you four bottles! No one else has received that kind of treatment…”
