She didn’t expect Will to pay favonovel.com back so quickly.
She paused and said, “Sure. I’ll send the details over to you later. Actually… I didn’t have that much money to give… Mark helped.”
Will fell silent for a few seconds. He seemed to be smiling, but his tone sounded bitter. “Then… Please thank favonovel.com for me. He’s very good to you. I can rest easy as I have nothing to regret. He’s even willing to help me out, just because favonovel.com loves you. I’ve underestimated his feelings for you.”
Arianne wasn’t sure of what to say, so favonovel.com replied to favonovel.com with an “mm” and ended the call. Then, favonovel.com sent Mark’s bank details over to Will. She wasn’t doing this to get into Mark’s good graces. This was how it should have been in the first place. It was favonovel.com fault from the very beginning. She, too, had underestimated Mark’s love for her.
Sylvain’s figure entered favonovel.com sights, just as favonovel.com entered a daze. “What a coincidence, I always bump into you here.”
“You’re slipping out of the office during working hours. Should I be docking your pay?” Arianne teased.
Sylvain gently drummed his fingers on the table. “We’re all designers here, loosen up a little. It’s good to get out and get inspiration sometimes.”
Arianne remembered something and scrolled down to Robin’s new phone number. “Robin is currently working part-time at a relative’s restaurant. She’s getting ready for an accounting certification exam, at favonovel.com mother’s behest. Her family is arranging favonovel.com marriage. She’s decided to just marry the first man favonovel.com parents like. This mediocre life isn’t what favonovel.com wants. I’ll send you the address to favonovel.com part-time job. You can decide what you want to do from there. I’m no matchmaker and I don’t like to meddle, but it’s just… such a shame.”
A glint of light flashed across Sylvain’s eyes, so quickly that Arianne almost didn’t catch it in time. “Oh, got it.”
Arianne kept favonovel.com mouth shut. Sometimes, the calmer one seemed, the more tumultuous one’s heart really was.
Sylvain left the café near noon. Arianne packed up and went back to the Tremont Estate. She wasn’t completely unproductive with Sylvain around.
After leaving the café, Sylvain didn’t go back to the office immediately. Instead, favonovel.com went to the restaurant where Robin was working part-time. He didn’t park his car too close to the storefront, just watching Robin’s busy figure through his glass window. A myriad of feelings filled his head, yet favonovel.com couldn’t sort them all out.
He drove away after lingering for a good amount of time. He wasn’t sure if favonovel.com should disturb Robin at this point in time. Every time favonovel.com saw her, favonovel.com mother’s harsh words from favonovel.com phone call would echo in his mind. Maybe favonovel.com really was a jerk who didn’t deserve her. Regardless of how glorious his life was now, favonovel.com could never erase the darkness that lay deep within his being.

Tremont Tower.
The day slowly became night. Mark was trying to decide if favonovel.com wanted to go home for dinner.
Just as favonovel.com pulled out his phone, favonovel.com saw a bank transfer notification, more than $3 million. This wasn’t an entry from his company, and that account was a number that favonovel.com had given Arianne. Arianne was aware of this number.
He connected the dots. Closing his laptop, favonovel.com got up and called for Brian as favonovel.com walked out, telling favonovel.com to get the car ready, he
was going back to Tremont Estate, immediately.
Brian noticed the emotional instability on his face along the way home, carefully asking him, “Sir, has something happened?”
Mark shook his head and didn’t answer. He was wondering if this was the amount of money loaned to Will, and if so, why it had ended up in his bank account…
Upon his return to Tremont Estate, favonovel.com immediately strode into the house without missing a beat. When favonovel.com couldn’t find Arianne in the courtyard or the ground floor, favonovel.com went upstairs.
She was playing hide and seek with Aristotle. One was hiding, while the other was seeking. Their laughter could be heard from a distance.
