Chapter 82: What The Hell Do You Want To Do?
Arianna took a piece of paper from her carry-on bag and used a pen to write down a phone number, and handed it to the beauty. Arianna’s movement was too large, and the cable car shook for a second. The young beauty screamed and said, “What the hell do you want to do?”
“This is the phone number of the sociology professor I said. He will surely be willing to answer your questions.”
Arianna and Charles had dinner together that evening. Charles looked at her for a while and smiled, “Did you forget to apply sunscreen cream? You are looking darker.”
“Really? I’m going to do beauty after dinner. I’ll find a way to come back white again.”
“No need. Now your skin looks healthier. You were white and almost transparent before.”
Arianna did not tell Charles what had happened earlier. That young beauty walked gnashing her teeth, and she vented her spleen. Meanwhile, although she didn’t know much about Charles, that little girl was not the heroine in the story. She had no need to bother.
After two days, Arianna almost forgot about it, and someone came to her again. That person asked to meet her at a small teahouse on campus in the name of sponsoring a college event.
This time the person was also a beautiful woman, looking similar to the previous young girl in the eyes and eyebrows, but with very different temperaments. When they met, the young girl introduced herself, “My name is Irene Fox.”
That sponsorship did exist, and the details had already been finalized, and it was not Irene’s responsibility. So, Arianna drank the tea slowly, waited for Irene to finish her speech on the business, and talked about her real intentions.
“The other day, my sister Tanya was rude. I apologize to you on her behalf.” Irene said.
“You thought too much. We just chatted, and the opinions were not consistent with one another.”
“Charles and I… it’s all in the past. So, please don’t mind.”
Arianna was drinking the tea quietly. “What Tanya said was true. I have known Charles from a young age. The relationship between our families is good. We were classmates from kindergarten, elementary school, and high school. Then we also lived in the same city when we were in college.
Later we went to study abroad together. We were both lonely out there, so we had a relationship and lived together for a time. We originally agreed to break up after returning to the state, but we still contacted each other once in a while. Until one day, Charles said that he met a girl who he really adored, so we officially broke up.” She had a tear in her eyes.
Arianna looked straight into her eyes and waited for her to continue.
“I love him very much, but I respect his choice and hope that he is happy. So, today I am here to apologize to my sister and also to see what his dream girl looks like. In fact, I still had some hope at the beginning because Charles had had many girlfriends, but none of the relationships lasted longer. I really wished Miss Jenkins would be a similar case. But my hope is dead the moment I see you. You are exactly the type Charles has always loved, regardless of appearance or temperament. Many years ago, he had an unforgettable first love girlfriend who died young because of illness, and Miss Jenkins looks really like that girl.” Her eyes were still full of tears.
Arianna quietly added water for her as if listening to stories that had nothing to do with her.
Irene smiled awkwardly, “I’ll be a little sad whenever I think about the past, and I said too much. Please pardon me. In fact, the main purpose of my visit today is to ask you, Miss Jenkins, not to be affected by my relationship with Charles once. Stay with him, please.”
“I won’t.” Arianna said slowly, “Your past with him belonged to both of you. And my present with him belongs to both of us. These two things are not related, so they don’t affect each other.”
“Oh, all right.”
“And, Miss Fox, I think you should know something better than I. A man like Charles, if you can’t forget him, you can only start by changing his mind. If he doesn’t want to look back at all, he will not return to you even if I leave him now.”
Irene could not say anything but listen to Arianna.
“But if you have worked hard and you still can’t get it, and if I were you, I would choose a way to make the best out of life, but not live in self-torture.”
Irene didn’t look good when she left, but she was still looking decent.
Arianna insisted on paying the tea fee and insisted on sending Irene to the parking lot.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Then Arianna said to her, “Thank you.”
Irene smirked with her beautiful face, “You know that I did not come with good intentions, and you pretended to be nice to me. You really resemble him in this aspect.”
Arianna smiled slightly and sincerely, but it was inevitable to be looking like a demonstration of power in the eyes of others, so Irene continued, “You really look like his first love girlfriend, and your smile is even more like her. I admit that my purpose is not kind, but I did not lie. And of course, according to your logic, that’s the business between Charles and his first girlfriend, nothing to do with you.”
Arianna watched Irene leave. Just now, she swallowed some words back into her mouth not to stimulate Irene more.
She wanted to say, “I really thank you. I always thought that Charles was too perfect and not true. I don’t understand what Charles likes about me, so I am not sure. But you came today to tell me his weakness and why he chose me, so now I got a much more secure and real feeling about the relationship between him and me. Of course, I should thank you.”

In the evening, Charles did not go to the appointment with Arianna because of a temporary business socializing call. Arianna did not cancel the box booked in advance but ordered a lot of favorite foods.
She usually had a moderate diet, and she did not have many favorite foods on her list, but she felt she should reward herself at the moment.
She had never been a very aggressive person since she was a child.
In fact, the reason why she was like this was probably that she lacked the fighting factor in her personality. She would easily get angry in an argument with people, even when she was the reasonable party. As time went by, she would rather give in first.
Arianna had no idea when she had grown such a strong fighting power in her words.
