Arianne wondered to herself. Didn’t Mark sleep in their room last night? Why did he come out of the study room early in the morning? He looked like… he just woke up. Did he get out of the room and go to the study room in the middle of the night?
She naturally couldn’t comprehend Mark’s behavior, but since she knew better than to get herself into trouble, she left without even having breakfast.
Mary came out of the kitchen with a bowl of millet porridge, but Arianne was no longer in sight. “Where is she?” she wondered out aloud.
As soon as her voice fell, she caught a glimpse of Mark who was coming down the stairs. The sour look on his face instantly muted her.
Arianne couldn’t focus on her work the entire morning. She had never expected herself to feel weak and dizzy just from not having breakfast. Her morning sickness felt even more intense than usual when she was hungry.
When it was almost lunch break, she received a call from Tiffany. “Ari, I’m downstairs of your office. Come down quickly, I’ll treat you to lunch.”
Tiffany promised her before that she would treat her to a meal when she found a job. “Have you found a job?” she asked.
