Arianne thought she was running as swiftly as the wind, but she unexpectedly got caught by Mark before she even ran out of the lobby on the ground floor. “Oh, seems like you’re getting bolder if you’re now stepping on my foot. Great. I’ll make sure to teach you a lesson later.”
She surrendered and allowed herself to be dragged back to the car dejectedly. Brian noticed both of them panting as though they just finished exercising and couldn’t hold himself back from commenting. “What’s going on here? Did you two just finish running a hundred meter sprint?”
Mark seemed to be in a great mood and replied to his question. “Something like that, except it was over before we even ran a hundred meters. Let’s go to White Water Bay Café.”
White Water Bay Café...
Arianne recalled her last visit with Mark to that café, but of course, it couldn’t be considered a wonderful memory. She couldn’t understand her current state of mind. Rather than saying that they had changed their way of getting along, it was more like she had finally given up and learned how to be sleek.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Mark allowed Arianne to pick their seat. It was nearly lunch time. There weren’t many people around yet, so there were still many empty tables. However, most of them were reserved so the place would soon be overcrowded.
Arianne picked a seat near the window. The waiter was startled but said nothing. Even if it was a reserved table, it could still be changed. However, if Mark was offended, there would be no going back from that. Besides, the owner of White Water Bay Café was Jackson West. Everyone knew of the relationship between Mark Tremont and the owner.
The seat was a nice spot that allowed the guests to see the river outside the window, and the café was situated at an excellent location in the White Water Bay. In order to avoid any awkward silence, Arianne started a conversation. “This is a really nice location. Do you own any property at White Water Bay?”
