“I know your mom thinks I’m a bad influence, but I’m not angry. She still thinks you’re an impressionable little kid so if you ever do anything that’s out of her expectations, she automatically blames it on the people around you. It’s really normal. It’s the kind of thing many parents do. I understand that, and I don’t care what people say about me,” she said. “Most importantly, I’m sure both of you know how committed you are to each other, right? So, cheer up. Don’t feel bad. Rest easy… I’ve prepared the guest room for you.”
This midnight debacle, as it turned out, cost Arianne her sleeping hours. When morning arrived, she was hardly awake. Mark was with her as well the night before, but he appeared to be in much better shape compared to her. If he put on his suit, he would look even more spirited. It was as though what happened last night did not affect him at all.
Arianne was rushing to the company that morning because she needed to personally oversee something. Otherwise, she would have continued to sleep. She was too tired to hail a cab so she accepted a ride from Mark.
After watching her giving a jaw-breaking yawn, Mark freed a hand and rubbed her cheek. “Hey, are you still not awake? Is Robin currently dating Sylvain?”
Arianne puffed her cheeks and nodded. “Yea, or at least, it seems like it. Robin likes Sylvain. The two have been together before, and now, they're back together. They’ve done almost everything a typical couple would do. The only thing is a lack of confirmation from Sylvain so their relationship is still in an ambiguous state. Honestly, no one is able to read Sylvain’s mind… However, he better not play with Robin’s feelings for his own good! Otherwise, he’s nothing but a douchebag who deserves being destroyed by Jessica.”
Mark mulled over her words for a moment before he remarked, “To be honest, this Trudeau is brimming with raw talent. I might not have a firm grip on his character, but my gut feeling says he’s not that big of a douchebag at all. If he proves himself by treating Robin right, then, I might consider hiring him. It would be just the thing to clear the mud that tarnishes his name.”
Arianne was shocked. “Every company out there is treating Sylvain like he’s Slenderman or something. They think his presence alone will tarnish their names, but you’re going to hire him? Talent aside, are you sure you can change everyone’s opinion about him?”
