Arianne hesitated slightly. After all, she was already married and there was a scandal about them in the past. It was best to keep their distance. “Um… Is there something important? I still have work… You can just tell me here.”
Will lowered his head slightly, unable to hide the disappointment in his eyes. Looking at the outline of his profile under the sunlight, Arianne could see his sad emotions flowing out. “I didn’t expect there to come a day when we have to worry about just sitting down and having a chat with each other.”
Arianne bit her lips then opened his car door and got in. “Nothing like that. I… I just don’t want to skip out of work for too long.”
Will didn’t pursue the conversation. He started the car and drove forward. All of a sudden, he changed the topic. “Ari, do you love Mark Tremont?”
Arianne was slightly taken aback. She didn’t understand why he would suddenly ask her such a question.
Will was already engaged and she was married, with a baby in her womb. No matter the circumstances, it wasn’t appropriate for them to discuss their relationship issues. “Will… We…”
Will looked like he could guess what she was going to say before she even finished her sentence. He interrupted her, “All you need to do is answer me, don’t think about other things. Just answer my questions.”
Arianne thought that Will was acting strange today, but now she was even more confident about her observation. “Will, what’s going on? Why are you… not like your usual self today?”
Will took a deep breath before his trademark smile bloomed across his face. “Nothing’s going on… It’s just been so long since we had a private talk with each other like this, Ari. I know you have your worries, but can you let go of them for a moment and answer my question?”
