After collecting the documents from the office and hailing a cab, Robin hurried to Sylvain’s residence. She had been to Sylvain’s residence before; although she was not familiar with the place, she was not a complete stranger to it either. As she arrived at Sylvian’s doorstep, her heart began to beat rapidly. She took a few deep breaths before mustering up the courage to press the doorbell.To her knowledge, Sylvain was living alone in a bungalow without any butlers or nannies. Robin had pressed on the doorbell for quite a while but to no avail. She figured that Sylvain might still be asleep, which was normal since it was only around ten in the morning and Sylvain was known to be a person who enjoyed the nightlife. Robin had no choice but to give Sylvain a call on his cell phone, and luckily, he had answered. When he found out that Robin was waiting for him at the door, he actually gave her the password for entering his house in a croaky voice before hanging up. Robin felt that it w
Robin was so confused and upset that her body trembled. She bit her lip without saying a word. She honestly didn't even know what to say. She had lost her capability to think, as she was enshrouded by Sylvain’s breath. However, one thing was very clear to her: how could she resist Sylvain’s seduction when she had literally zero experience in love and relationships?She was no different from any typical girl. She admired Sylvain, even to the point of loving him. However, these were all just thoughts in her head. She had never thought of turning those feelings into actions, yet she was now in this situation…Seeing that Robin no longer struggled and was silent, Sylvain boldly moved. It wasn’t until Sylvain’s body moved downwards that Robin came to her senses. “You asshole…!”Sylvain’s passionate movements stopped Robin’s rants as she focused on the moment. Sylvain was considered a veteran playboy, hence he was able to get any woman into the mood very quickly and very easily.When i
Robin thought that Arianne would have thought she was being foolish. “Arianne, don’t you think I’m being silly and insensible? You’ve already told me we’re not compatible together, yet I…”Arianne sighed and said, “How should I put this to you? We’re colleagues and friends, so I’ll give you some honest advice when it comes to your private matters. However, the final decision still lies with you ultimately. When you’ve already decided in your heart that you want to be in a relationship with someone, you won’t be able to listen to any advice no matter who it comes from. Also, I can’t control your actions since you have your own independent thinking, but like I’ve said, you may not seem compatible on the outside, but you may have more in common than you think, am I right? I don’t know Sylvain well, so you should go ahead if you think it’s what you want and ignore my advice. Like I’ve said, you should make your own decisions and take responsibility for it. You’ll be fine as long as you’ve
Arianne was worried that Smore would find it very tough during weaning and would start crying the whole night. She even started to feel a little sorry for him, but she then found out that the little guy actually enjoyed drinking milk powder. Further, he had already gotten used to drinking from a milk bottle and did not even whine at all. Everything had not gone as she imagined. There was not a trace of him weaning at all!Arianne sighed with relief, although she was a little disheartened as well. Things had turned out for the better for her, thanks to Mark’s planning. The last string that had connected her and Smore had been broken—she no longer had to suffer from the pain of breastfeeding, nor did she need to worry if there was enough reserved milk at home…As the weekend ended, it was time for Arianne to focus on her work again come Monday. She did not have time to think about Smore’s weaning.Sylvain only arrived at his office around eleven in the morning as usual. On the surface
Arianne lowered the car window and called out to her. “Robin, come on. I’ll send you home.”Robin put on a smile on her face, although it was forced.In the car, Arianne casually asked, “Did Sylvain not ask you out? Why did he drive off himself?” Robin smiled and said, “We were going to have dinner together and then he would send me home, but he got a phone call right at the last minute. When he got off the phone, he said he had something to do and went off. I can’t disturb him since it’s his work matter, right?”Arianne did not comment. She hoped that Sylvain was really going off to work.After she dropped Robin off at her home, Arianne asked Brian to head towards the Tremont estate. While she was at it, she asked him about his blind date. “How was your blind date? You spent quite a lot of time on this, so I suppose there should be some good news, right?”Brian’s face was filled with happiness. “It’s alright… We’re going out at the moment, and we’ll keep going out for a while f
Piecing the puzzle together, Arianne asked, “Are you saying that Jessica sent Sylvain after me, just to have her revenge against you?”Mark nodded. “Do you have any other explanation? Everything was fine at the company, wasn’t it? Then Sylvain arrives and you end up being drugged.”Arianne’s heart sank. “Then that makes sense. Only Robin and I drank Sylvain’s champagne on the night I was drugged. Robin got into trouble too. I didn’t have any evidence to prove that Sylvain was behind it at first. I asked him about it too, but he denied it. Now, it seems that Jessica goaded him into it. I may have been his target, but by pure coincidence, I left without telling him that night. In the end, he took advantage of Robin… The funniest thing is that he’s dating Robin now, probably with an ulterior motive. He’s only toying with her.”Previously, she believed that she didn’t have the right to meddle in Sylvain and Robin’s relationship. Now, it was different. She had a responsibility for whatev
Mark pulled out some data and showed it to her. “Do you really think that Sylvain managed to enjoy such a smooth-sailing career, all on his own? He’s talented, it’s true, but his methods in gaining his promotion weren’t exactly glorious. I don’t know everything, but he and Jessica have a shady relationship. Jessica’s personal life is horrifyingly messy. She’s well-known for her fondness of… Well, you know.”Only then did Arianne come to a realization. “So, she’s taking revenge because she’s in love with you?”Mark didn’t answer, but based on the revulsion in his eyes, her guess was probably correct. Arianne shivered. Jessica didn’t seem pretty to her at first glance. In fact, she came off as more of a slippery character. Despite her stylish outfits, she definitely wasn’t Mark’s type. It was a bad sign for a woman like that to have her eye on him.Arianne couldn’t sleep well that night. She was plagued with guilt. Previously, Tiffany had been traumatized because of her. Now, Robin wa
Mark knew what she was asking about. “I’ve already arranged to go overseas the day after tomorrow. I will handle this. Jessica is well connected outside the country. Honestly, it won’t be easy. I’ll try my best to solve this as fairly as possible. If not, you wouldn’t mind if I resort to more… ruthless measures, would you?”Arianne knew how malicious he could be. “I don’t. Do whatever you think is best. I’m feeling extra frustrated now. Robin had nothing to do with this in the first place, yet she ended up becoming a sacrificial lamb for no good reason. If only I had known this sooner. I wouldn’t have been so nice to Jessica when I met her!”Mark reached up and held her shoulders. “Alright, calm down. I’ll take care of this. It’s not entirely your fault. There’s no need to blame yourself.”Arianne’s heart ached when she saw the exhaustion in his eyes. “Okay. Get washed up and go to bed. You haven’t had enough rest lately. I’ll stop grumbling now.”Mark planted a kiss on her forehea
