The only person in Griffin's heart was Ariana, so he didn't care about others' attitude.
He didn't feel a thing when faced with Fanny's indifference. However, he initiated the parting words to make things easier for Ariana.
They are bound to meet again in a day or two.
So, Griffin was not in a hurry at this moment.
Ariana slightly nodded her head in agreement.
When Griffin had walked far enough that even his silhouette was no longer visible, Fanny coldly snorted and said, "Ari, that Griffin has caused you quite a bit of trouble. How come you don't guard against him and instead chat with him? Aren't you afraid of what he might do to you?"
Ariana lightly withdrew her gaze.
Upon hearing her friend's words, she shook her head with a complicated expression, saying, "That incident was Beverly using him. It's not his fault. Don't worry. Even though that incident was not entirely his fault, I have no intention of continuing to interact with him. I was just having a polite conversation with him a moment ago."
Only then did Fanny feel relieved, but she still said anxiously, "Anyway, try your best to minimize contact with such people in the future."
Ariana looked at Fanny's grudge-filled expression and couldn't help but laugh.
Fanny's brow furrowed tighter when she was laughed at.
She squinted her eyes and threatened, "What are you laughing at? Do you think I'm wrong?"
Still giggling, Ariana shook her head and said, "How dare I? Everything you said is correct; isn't it enough for me to know?"
Fanny gave a cold hum, indicating that if Ariana didn't listen to her advice, she would suffer again eventually! This made Ariana laugh even harder in helplessness. She shook her head, struggling to control her laughter, "Yes, yes, yes. I understand. Alright, are we going to have afternoon tea or not? If not, I'm going home."
Afternoon tea, how could they not go?
Fanny had been waiting for this day for quite some time, so her attention was instantly drawn.
She hurriedly said, "Come on, it's a rare occasion for us to enjoy leisure time! How can we not go?" Upon finishing, she grabbed Ariana's arm and ran towards the car parked outside the campus.
Ariana could not help but crack a smile, without saying much, she just followed Fanny's force and started to run-walk.
...
Meanwhile at the airport.
Jane had just returned from abroad.
With a suitcase and a mask worn to avoid discovery, even though the chance was slim, she was mainly worried about Ariana, or someone that Ariana knows, recognizing her. But she could not be too careful, after all, Ariana flies often. What if they somehow coincidently bump into each other?
Therefore, she tried to cover herself as much as possible.
She didn't want to be discovered by Ariana as soon as she returned. Otherwise, she would certainly complain to Mr. and Mrs. White and they would be even more disappointed in her.
Right now, she could not get away from the material support of the White family.
Without the White family, she had no means of living. She had no desire to work for a meager wage.
