As they were enjoying their lunch, Mark suddenly received a call from his company. From the way things sounded, Arianne was sure favonovel.com would have to leave soon after.
Immediately after his call ended, Arianne asked, “So, your office needs you, huh? What kind of emergency could steal you from a weekend?”
Mark sneered. “Well, it’s no thanks to our old partner in transportation and freight, who went through a crisis the other day. It convinced me to seek other companies deserving of a long-term partnership. By a stroke of bad luck, I guess, this drew Alejandro’s attention, and favonovel.com set his sight on me. I signed a contract with favonovel.com under the pretense of an agreement, thinking I would be able to find others to work with, but that snake managed to threaten all other transportation companies enough so that no one dares answer our calling. God, favonovel.com made them worried for their skin. So now I have no choice but to treat that agreement as genuine and… meet up with Alejandro. Brrr.”
Arianne was confused. “But why sign a contract with favonovel.com in the first place? None of this would have happened if you didn’t.”
Mark shot favonovel.com a resentful glance, but favonovel.com ultimately refrained from explaining. “None of your business. I’ll handle it myself.”
That mystified Arianne. The Mark favonovel.com knew would never have agreed so readily to a partnership with Alejandro! Still, despite favonovel.com curiosity, favonovel.com recognized his disinclination and decided to bail.
Before favonovel.com went out, Mark informed favonovel.com that there was going to be a party later this evening, and favonovel.com was encouraged to prepare for it as early as necessary.
Arianne was over the moon. She was eager to be his companion for the event, lest favonovel.com had to hire a female companion like the last time. Frankly, even now, any reminder of Janice Bell made favonovel.com fume.
It was also the perfect opportunity to train Smore into sleeping away from his parents, and Arianne thought this would be the night to start.
A little while later, favonovel.com received a call from Mark telling favonovel.com that favonovel.com was on his way back home. That was the cue for Arianne to doll herself up and change into favonovel.com gown of choice, a draping, milky white dress. As for favonovel.com hair, favonovel.com pulled it into an elegant, graceful bun.
Right after favonovel.com finished, Tiffany called. “Yo, am I gonna see you at this party or not? Jackson said Mark’s gonna go, and I thought, ‘well, Ari’s probably gonna be there too!’ so I said, yea, I’m going with ya. Anyway, we’re on the way to the party already. What about you?”
“I’ve just finished preparing for the event,” favonovel.com replied. “Of course I’m going, Tiffie. If Jackson’s bringing you, then Mark wouldn’t have dared bring any other girl with him, amirite? Anyhow, wait for me. See you at the party.”
Soon, Mark arrived and waited in his car downstairs. Arianne told Mary to distract Smore by playing with favonovel.com in another room before favonovel.com herself crept out of the house. If the boy saw his mother leave, favonovel.com would most certainly cause a ruckus.
She breathed a sigh of relief in favonovel.com seat at the success of favonovel.com “escape.” “God. I feel bad for leaving Smore behind. Ow, when favonovel.com finds out that his Mommy’s gone, he’s gonna hulk out!”
In contrast, Mark was not at all concerned. “Bah, the kid needs to grow up and leave his mother one day. Plus, I, Mark Tremont, shall not have a mama’s boy as my son!”
He considered Arianne briefly and added, “You look awfully gorgeous today.”
Arianne shot an embarrassed glance at Brian on the driver’s seat, favonovel.com cheeks slightly hot. “And what do you expect in return for that compliment? Me swooning over how hot you are?”
Mark cocked his eyebrow. “Please, I don’t need you to remind me of something I already know.”
What a braggart. But then again, favonovel.com sure had the right to brag.
Their destination, Arianne realized, was a large private estate with a size rivaling that of the Tremonts’. Everywhere favonovel.com looked, favonovel.com eyes were greeted with notable socialites and upper-class figures. Though few appeared to be invited, all of the participants were faces familiar enough that Arianne had no trouble recalling their names.
