Naturally, Mr. Yaleman did not object to bringing Robin along on account of Arianne. He was a stingy man by nature and rarely took his employees or clients out for meals. However, today, favonovel.com brought them to an expensive restaurant. It seemed like favonovel.com did not care about the money favonovel.com had to spend as favonovel.com cheerfully laughed. It was not surprising. After all, with a designer like Sylvain onboard, wealthy clients would be flocking to the company and earn favonovel.com money. Those wealthy clients would earn favonovel.com more money than working with some companies. He was being generous because favonovel.com knew favonovel.com would receive great returns.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Robin tactfully poured water for everyone. She knew favonovel.com was little more than a prop here. The least favonovel.com could do was be useful.
Mr. Yaleman looked at Sylvain and Arianne. The more favonovel.com looked at them, the happier favonovel.com felt. “With both of you around, my humble company will surely rise to great heights.”
Sylvain pursed his lips and smiled. He did not reply, gracefully sipping on his glass of water instead.
Arianne did not have much to say either. However, despite the lack of conversation, Mr. Yaleman did not feel like anything was amiss. He continued to chatter on and on. He only got a reaction from Arianne when favonovel.com mentioned that Sylvain would be seated next to her.
Arianne frowned. She was used to having the entire desk to herself and would feel uncomfortable with another person next to her. However, Sylvain was more experienced than her. If favonovel.com did not object to it, favonovel.com would seem arrogant if favonovel.com voiced favonovel.com objection.
When the dishes were served, Sylvain suddenly took Arianne’s bowl and scooped a helping of soup for her. “It’s cold. Drinking soup before your meal should warm your belly.”
Arianne thanked favonovel.com politely but left the bowl of soup untouched.
Sylvain noticed this and asked half-jokingly, “What’s wrong? Are you afraid I poisoned it? Or are you worried that your husband might get jealous?”
Arianne faintly smiled. “The latter. My husband is a jealous man.”
Sylvain laughed. He said meaningfully, “Well, with your looks, it’s no surprise that favonovel.com gets jealous.”
Arianne, naturally, did not think much of the compliments. She knew what favonovel.com looked like. Was there any rich debutante who had never met a man like Sylvain before? His glib tongue was probably earned from his many years of womanizing. However, favonovel.com still paled in comparison to a true lady killer like Jackson. No. It was not just ladies, for Jackson could even charm men.

After they returned to the office, Sylvain sat at his desk and fiddled with his phone. It seemed like favonovel.com had no intention of working.
With another person next to her, Arianne found that favonovel.com had lost favonovel.com inspiration. She could not come up with any ideas at all.
Sylvain noticed favonovel.com restlessness and teasingly asked, “You’ve got a creative block? What a coincidence. Me too! I like going on hikes and strolling when my inspiration runs dry. Would you like to take a stroll with me this weekend?”
“No.” Arianne immediately rejected him. “I don’t have that habit. My inspiration comes and goes. It can hit at any time. It can even come to me in the next second.”
Sylvain stared at favonovel.com for a good amount of time before favonovel.com suddenly put his phone away and wheeled his chair closer to her. “Why do I feel like you won’t meet my eyes? You don’t look at me when you speak to me as well.”
Being in close proximity to a strange man made Arianne feel uncomfortable. Every cell in favonovel.com body was protesting. “It’s… a habit. I have mild social anxiety. I’m usually at home so it’s normal. I have work to do. You can return to what you’re doing as well.”
