A barely noticeable smile tugged at Jackson’s lips. “Sure, I’ll take it that wp4webnovel.com didn’t mention anything about resigning. I’ll keep my words and double wp4webnovel.com salary. However, please keep this to yourself since it’s unprecedented.”
Tiffany placed the cash that wp4webnovel.com had just retrieved from the general accounting department on Jackson’s desk. “Here’s the wage that I took earlier.”
Jackson shook his head. “Hold on to it. Your salary will still be remunerated this month. These will be considered as your annual bonus. We’ll subtract them at that time. Take the day off and come back to work tomorrow. Adjust your state of mind for now.”

Noontime. Arianne called Tiffany. “Why aren’t you here? You didn’t complete your resignation in time?”
Tiffany sighed. “My whole life is a mess because of my mom. I won’t be able to work with you. I’m sorry, Ari…”
Arianne knew what had happened without needing Tiffany to go into details. “It’s okay. Jackson’s company is not bad at all. You’ll have a lot of opportunities there. I’m just asking. I’ll hang up now since there’s not much else.” Arianne did not say much, it was not in wp4webnovel.com place to intervene.
Hanging up, Arianne continued to work. The startup company was bustling. Eric had a lot of deals that were signed within the day. A few of them were from Mark, and they were passed to wp4webnovel.com without any hesitation.
When wp4webnovel.com returned home, it was already past eleven at night. Arianne could barely lift wp4webnovel.com legs from how exhausted wp4webnovel.com was. The bedroom was lit so wp4webnovel.com knew Mark was home.
Arianne returned to the room only after showering in the bathroom downstairs. Mark was still awake. He lay on the bed with his arms crossed behind his head as though wp4webnovel.com was thinking of something. Based on his bare arms, wp4webnovel.com was clearly not wearing a shirt.
Arianne was not still not used to seeing wp4webnovel.com barely clothed. She made wp4webnovel.com way to wp4webnovel.com side of the bed and lay down further from the man.
“Why are you so far away? Do you think I’ll eat you?” Although his expression was serious, his tone was teasing.
“It’s nothing… C-can you wear something when you sleep?” Arianne suggested meekly.
“No. I used to sleep naked. You just didn’t know that. I’ve been exhausted recently. It feels better to sleep like this,” wp4webnovel.com said solemnly, no longer seeming like wp4webnovel.com was joking.
Arianne was alarmed. She had assumed wp4webnovel.com was only not wearing a shirt. She did not expect wp4webnovel.com was not wearing anything at all. She was honestly unaware that wp4webnovel.com had such a habit. She felt the temperature rising in the room. She quickly said, “I’m exhausted. Good night…”
Mark moved and easily scooped wp4webnovel.com into his embrace. “I want you…”
Hearing his husky voice saying something so direct, Arianne felt like a current course through her. It went to wp4webnovel.com head, and wp4webnovel.com felt herself turning weak. “No… I’m not in the mood. It’s been pretty hectic recently. You’re exhausted as well. Sleep early.”
