NovelOnline“You could say so.” Simon absentmindedly took a sip of his red wine.
Ariana blurted out, “Do you have a girlfriend, Dr. Finch?”
Her question nearly made him choke. “Ms. Torrey, why do you ask?”
“Well, | think you're a perfect candidate. Not only are you Handsome, you're young and successful. To top it off,
you're a doctor. If | ever need to see the doctor when | age, all | need is you. You look like husband material too...
“I need to stop you there.” Simon had tried to play matchmaker for Victor. Never in his wildest imagination had
he imagined getting himself involved.
He worried that Ariana might ask deeper questions about his family if he continued the conversation. He quickly
brushed it off. “Ms. Torrey, it was just a casual remark. | have no plans to get a girlfriend for now.”
“Oh.” She put on a disappointed look. “What a shame-I feel the same! You should ctoagain when you're
ready to date.”

No one in their social circle would dare set their eyes on a woman of Ariana’s status.
“Are you done eating?” Victor's cold voice pierced through the air.
“Almost.” She had only taken a few bites of the seafood as she wasn’t hungry.
He snapped, “Get back to writing if you're full. Don’t waste your tspouting nonsense at the dinner table.”
Thinking he sounded like a stern teacher, she teased him. “Alright, sir. I'll get back to writing.”
“What did you just call me?”
“You're my teacher.” She replied matter-of-factly, “Didn't you teachhow to write? That makes you my
teacher. What's wrong with calling you my teacher?”
With that, she left for the second floor.
Simon shook his head in exasperation. “I told you not to be that harsh to girls. See? She sees you as her teacher
now. How are you gonna pursue her?”
“Do you have too much ton your hands?” Victor sneered.
Simon immediately went back to eating without another word.

Emily stared at the two dishes and a plate of pasta in the photo, but she also noticed the edges of sother
plates.
She gave it sthought and answered truthfully, “Doesnt look like dinner for one.”
Brian frowned again. “Ariana doesn’t eat dinner at night. How could she possibly finish that amount of food?”
Besides, the tableware did not look like the ones at Ariana’s apartment.
He questioned, “Has she gone home?”
“She should have gone hby noon.”
“Who sent her home?”
