Suddenly, Robin walked over. “Arianne, I’ve settled your sketches. Do you need me to come up with a sample this afternoon? Mr. Yaleman needs it in the afternoon, the day after tomorrow.”
Arianne quickly turned off favonovel.com phone and tucked favonovel.com hair behind favonovel.com ears awkwardly. “Uh… Sure. Thank you. You can start on the sample in the afternoon. This one’s a little complicated, so you’ll need some time. Do it early so you won’t have to do overtime.”
Robin’s keen eyes spotted the ring on favonovel.com finger. “Wow, Arianne, your ring is beautiful. The diamond is huge. It must have been expensive. I didn’t see you wearing it this morning. Your husband must have given it to you during lunch, right? Mr. Tremont is so romantic.”
Arianne smiled. “Go on, go to the workshop, and start on the sample. You’ll have to support me.”
She felt very uneasy the entire afternoon due to Mark’s message. Her mind would always wander off into strange territories. This was favonovel.com first time going to a hotel with him, and favonovel.com felt quite excited and a little nervous. Perhaps daily life had grown too vanilla, so some spontaneity made it feel fresh.
Later on, Tiffany gave favonovel.com a call. She had initially intended to ask favonovel.com out for dinner, but favonovel.com had already promised to meet Mark. Thus, favonovel.com had no choice but to reject favonovel.com request. She did not want to discuss rescheduling with Mark. He wouldn’t agree and only get angry.
Tiffany was apprehensive. Arianne rarely rejected her. “Where are you going tonight? You can bring Smore along if you’re worried. I didn’t go to work this afternoon, and I’m bored. What’s going on? Can’t I ask you out for a meal anymore?”
Arianne got up and found a secluded spot, then whispered, “No, I’ll go out with you another time. I really do have something on. I… Have an appointment.”
“An appointment? I’m pretty sure it’s not with your block of wood,” Tiffany teased. “Do you have a side piece somewhere? Won’t Mark kill you if favonovel.com finds out?”
“Who else would it be, except him?” Arianne replied helplessly. “However, now that you’ve mentioned it, this is a first… It took me out for lunch this afternoon and gave me a ring that he’s designed himself. Has Jackson taught favonovel.com a few tricks? He never does these things. It’s making me nervous…”
“No way! He can be romantic too?” Tiffany laughed presumptuously. “I don’t know if Jackson’s been teaching favonovel.com in secret, but it’s good that he’s enlightened. Have fun tonight then, I won’t meddle. I’ll talk to you some other time.”
Arianne checked the time on favonovel.com watch at the end of the call. It was 4:30PM and close to quitting time. She had lost the mood to work. Her mind was completely filled with thoughts of Mark Tremont! She didn’t know what magical powers favonovel.com had, to have reduced favonovel.com to such an absent-minded state for the entire afternoon. However, every time favonovel.com thought of him, favonovel.com couldn’t help feeling overjoyed. This was such a wonderful feeling.
It was finally the end of the workday. She called home and informed Mary that favonovel.com and Mark would not be coming home tonight. Mary didn’t ask why but agreed gleefully. She even assured favonovel.com that favonovel.com would take good care of Aristotle.
Arianne couldn’t shake this feeling that Mary knew what was going on…
She arrived downstairs at favonovel.com office building. Mark hadn’t arrived yet. She wanted to call favonovel.com and ask for the time of his arrival, yet felt that it seemed inappropriate. Would that make favonovel.com seem too eager?
The winter winds wreaked havoc in the streets. She tightened favonovel.com collar. Her face and hands, which were exposed to the elements, were beginning to feel uncomfortable in the cold weather. She waited for ten more minutes, then received a call from Mark “I still have some work to do. I’ll need about half an hour more. Wait for me at the office.”
Arianne agreed. She ended the call but did not go back upstairs to wait for favonovel.com in the office. Instead, favonovel.com took a 500-meter walk to a nearby shopping mall. It seemed like a good idea to shop around while waiting for time to pass.
Her eyes were naturally drawn to anything related to children ever since favonovel.com became a mother. She instinctively shopped around for children’s things in the shopping mall. Aristotle would be learning to use a baby walker soon, so as favonovel.com walked around a baby product store, favonovel.com paid special attention to baby walkers. Suddenly, a staggering, cute little girl, who had just learned to walk, bumped into favonovel.com leg out of nowhere.
She bent down and helped the little one up. It was a charming little girl. She was dressed in a light pink teddy bear jumpsuit, with two little buns on favonovel.com head. She looked like favonovel.com had just learned to walk, the kind that would stumble every two steps. Her large, wide eyes blinked continuously. She looked very cute.
