Tiffany sent Arianne a message when she went back to her room: ‘Jackson’s mother visited me today. She brought me food as usual, then somehow persuaded me into joining her company. It’s a subsidiary branch in the Southern Lake District of South Park, which is pretty far from here. I won’t be coming back so often for now, since the journey to and fro will take a few hours. I’m going to take the job, if nothing happens. I didn’t want to go at first, but she’s been so good to me that I couldn’t refuse. I don’t know how to.’
Arianne quickly replied: ‘Since you can’t reject her, you’d better stay. This is between you and his mother. It has nothing to do with him. No need to overthink it. Do your best once you’re there and prove yourself with your own efforts. Don’t let his mother down. By the way, Tanya resigned from Eric’s company after you left. However, she’s still staying in that condo and hasn’t gone out to find a job. It’s very strange. How can she survive without a job?’
Tiffany’s heart plummeted to an all-time low when she saw Arianne’s reply. She would turn into a mess every time Tanya was involved: ‘No need to mention these things to me. How she is doing is none of my business. I won’t ever look at her again, even if she’s dead.’
Despite her reply, she still felt suspicious, just like Arianne. How was Tanya able to survive? Even Tanya’s savings wouldn’t be enough for her to stay idle for a few months. It had been more than a month now… Perhaps… Someone was paying for her? Was it Jackson?
She gritted her teeth at the thought of it. She didn’t want to know. She didn’t want to know anything about them. It would only mess her up even more! But she couldn’t control herself…
Ten minutes later, having received no reply from Arianne, she lost her restraint and asked: ‘Do you know what’s going on with her? Is she dating Jackson now? Is he taking care of her? Then I’ll have to congratulate her. She’s finally made it. She won’t have to worry about her basic necessities, now that she’s with Jackson. She can show off in front of us now.’
Around five minutes later, Arianne finally replied: ‘I was just changing Smore’s diaper. Calm down. It’s not what you think. Jackson hasn’t contacted her at all. I asked Mark to find out all of that for me, which is why I’m feeling suspicious. How is she surviving without a job? That’s all. I was just casually informing you. There’s no need for such a huge reaction. Rest well and get ready for your new job. I have to pacify my baby now. Good night.’
