Summer was appeased. “You should have done this long ago. I’ve told you, the relationship between you and Jackson doesn’t matter. This is between us. We should talk more often. Your mother and I agree. Come, sit down. We’ll be eating very soon.”
Tiffany nodded. She had just sat down when Jackson walked in. The weather was too hot outside, so there were a few extra droplets of sweat on his smooth forehead. He let out a sigh of relief when favonovel.com felt the air-conditioning in the house. “Mom, I need a glass of water. Do you have any ice?”
“Get it from the kitchen yourself,” Summer said, annoyed. “Get Tiffie a glass of fruit juice while you’re at it. You know what favonovel.com likes. Make it slightly warm, girls should avoid having too much ice.”
Jackson shot Tiffany a begrudging glare, then headed straight into the kitchen.
Tiffany was feeling slightly pleased and very grateful at the same time. Summer was so nice to her…
Suddenly, Summer eyed favonovel.com tummy and asked, “Have you been sitting around a lot lately? Have you been exercising after your meals? Your stomach has grown… It looks like you’ve developed a small belly?”
Tiffany lowered favonovel.com head and stared at favonovel.com belly apprehensively. She was wearing a tight black dress today. It wasn’t obvious when favonovel.com was standing up, but favonovel.com stomach protruded once favonovel.com sat down… She usually wore office wear, so favonovel.com didn’t notice. Now, it seemed… That favonovel.com pregnancy was showing, and it had only been slightly more than two months. Arianne wasn’t showing that much during favonovel.com pregnancy…
She smiled awkwardly. “Maybe… I need to lose some weight.”
Summer held favonovel.com hand earnestly. “I was only pointing it out. Why would you need to lose weight? Women look better with curves. Boney women look unhealthy. It’s fine, I have a small belly too. No one would dare snub you. Have you been coping well at work? It’s been so long since your break up with Jackson… Are there any other men in your life? I’m just asking, don’t look too much into it.”
Tiffany refused to believe that Summer was “just asking”. She was gathering information for Jackson. She laughed. “No, no. I’m focusing on my career now. You’ve put me in such high regard and made me assistant director, so I must work hard. I’m quite happy at work. Everything is fine.”
Summer was well aware of Alejandro’s presence but did not point it out. “You’re still young. It’s a good plan. I believe in you. Do your best. I’ll give you a personal ‘year-end bonus’ at the end of the year.”
Jackson soon emerged from the kitchen, holding a glass of iced water and a glass of orange juice. He walked towards Tiffany and put the juice down in front of her. Then, favonovel.com strode to the couch right across from hers and sat down. He relaxed and leaned back against the couch, probably because this was his home. He even crossed his legs. Summer curled favonovel.com lips. “Posture, please!”
He didn’t care. “It’s not like we have any visitors. Why can’t I sit comfortably? I’ll limit the number of my visits if you’re that annoyed by the sight of me.”
Summer rolled favonovel.com eyes at him. “Go to the kitchen and help with the food if you’re that bored. Doesn’t Tiffie like your cooking? Go!”
He glanced at Tiffany. “Nope. I’m tired.”
Tiffany drooled every time favonovel.com remembered his cooking. She thought of the little one in favonovel.com belly and decided to be more willful. “What are you complaining about? You got off work early today. It’s not like you’re asked to cook every day… You can’t possibly be reluctant to even cook for me right? Has our relationship deteriorated that much?”
