Henry nodded and went out.
Mark drove to the Tremont Tower and passed the key to the security to park his car. When a senior citizen fell down by the road, Mark subconsciously wanted to go up and help, but he was suddenly reminded of Arianne’s hysterical words when she left, “Stop acting with a mask, okay?”
Was he being too hypocritical like this? He was supposed to be someone cold. He should not have been so kind.
Ultimately, Mark stepped into the tower without turning back while the security, who was striving to showcase himself, helped the senior citizen up.
…
In the White Water Bay villa, Arianne and Tiffany were just done fooling around. The living room and the couch were a mess. Luckily, Jackson was not home. Otherwise, he would have grumbled.
“Ari, now that you’ve left the Tremont’s, what’s your plan?”
Arianne thought about it for a moment. “I haven’t gotten a clue yet… I don’t want to stay in this city anymore. I want to go somewhere completely foreign and start anew.”
Tiffany pictured the new life that Arianne mentioned instantly and looked envious. “I want to leave with you too and start afresh. That’s a new word…”
Arianne shook her head with a smile. “You’re different from me. You still have your mother. If you leave her, she won’t know how to survive. I’m alone, so I can go wherever I want. I can find a job to feed myself or maybe open up a small shop, live normally… It sounds good.”
Roused, Tiffany felt like leaving even more. She had things that she did not want to face in this city and people whom she did not want to meet. Lillian could actually live as well without her. “Ari, didn’t you learn how to make desserts before this? We can go to a brand new city and start a dessert shop, and sell some coffee and milk tea and stuff. What do you think? Since my mom still has some money laying around, we have the funds for an investment. You decide!”
