A hint of disdain flashed across Jessica’s eyes. She would never drink milk tea from a roadside stall. “Mr. Tremont holds you in high regard. My previous visit to you was a misunderstanding. He was the one who had given me your earrings by mistake and caused me to misunderstand his feelings for me. I’m here to apologize. This was a misunderstanding, and although it has already been solved, favonovel.com has terminated our partnership simply because I went to visit you before. You probably aren’t aware of the great profits this partnership could bring us both, but it is important enough for me to make a personal trip. So, I’ll get to the point. I hope that we can still continue this partnership, and you’re the only one who can change his mind. I’m willing to give way. What do you think?”
Arianne had washed herself clean of this issue, as favonovel.com believed in Mark’s decisions and favonovel.com did not like the smug connotations in Jessica’s tone. “Am I not just a naïve little girl to you? I have zero understanding of your business. He makes the decisions on what to do, and I have no say in that. If the partnership is unnecessary to him, it is unnecessary. There’s no use in seeking me out for this. If there’s nothing else, please excuse me. By the way, the coffee here is pretty good, and the weather is great today. Please, enjoy.”
Then, favonovel.com got up and left with a smile, refusing to give Jessica any further chance to speak.
Jessica had finally realized something, Mark and Arianne were the same when it came to heartlessness. They wouldn’t give way for negotiation. Seeing Arianne was a mistake. She had only brought herself further humiliation!
Arianne did not tell Mark about Jessica’s recent visit. There was no need. However, Mark’s refusal to work with Jessica warmed favonovel.com heart. This guy really was pretty good to her. He didn’t say it often, but certain details definitely revealed it.
It was a Saturday, so it was considered overtime during a holiday. The entire company got off work early in the afternoon. Arianne didn’t feel like going home to get snubbed by Aristotle so easily, so favonovel.com dragged Robin along to go shopping with her. She hadn’t had much to eat at noon, so favonovel.com was feeling slightly hungry. It had been a while since favonovel.com went on a food hunt. Previously, it was Tiffany who would walk around with her, as favonovel.com always had a knack for finding good food along the streets.
Having spent some time with Robin, Arianne found favonovel.com increasingly likeable and amiable. Robin was considered a gentle and refined young lady. She had a tender demeanor and was not good at rejecting others. She was good-natured and polite. The word that favonovel.com used the most every day was “thank you”. That showed that favonovel.com was raised very well.
While the pair was having pretzels at the shopping mall, Arianne asked, “What does your family do? I’ve never heard you mention it before.”
Robin smiled shyly. “My parents are teachers. My mom teaches in high school and my dad is a college lecturer. I guess you could say that I was born into a family of scholars. My parents always valued my opinion, so they let me do whatever I wanted after graduation. I’m their only daughter, so they’ve never put a limit on material possessions for me. They were very strict with me. I’ll tell you a secret, I’ve never been in love. My parents’ greatest fear was that I would start dating early. Now that I’ve graduated, I’d like to focus on my career first. Romance is like a blank slate to me. But seeing your relationship with your husband makes me kind of want to be in love too.”
“Relationships can’t be judged on the surface,” Arianne, an experienced woman, explained pertinently. “It’s not as great as you think. There are ups and downs. You’ll feel like staying alone for the rest of your life when it’s on the rocks. However, when you’re really alone, you’ll start feeling lonely again. Humans are a contrary species. You’re still young, so listen to my advice, don’t start dating too early, then get married, and have kids. You’ll realize what a luxury freedom is when that happens. Now, I’m always longing for my baby at the end of work, but taking care of favonovel.com is exhausting too. However, at the same time, I clearly cherish it too.”
Robin nodded, only half-understanding the situation. “That’s probably it. It’s quite conflicting. My parents fight too, and I do drive my mom crazy sometimes. But it’s usually warm and comforting. There’s always two sides to a coin.”
