Chapter 221: Just A Regular Lover's Quarrel
Mark and Luna were sitting at one of the tables in the waiting room, facing each other with barely anything being said. Tina and Turner left a while ago to go and get everything ready in the assessment room. Mark was leaning back in his seat with his hand folded and his eyes closed. After some time, his phone pinged in his pocket and he brought it out and saw that it was a message from Arit.
[Hey, Mark. I'm done with what I had to do and I'm on my way home. Do you want me to make anything for dinner?]
Mark smiled as he saw the message and sent back that he did not want anything specific. Whatever she makes would be fine.
[Eh… you always say that! You know you can make any request you want! I'll make it for you!]
Mark told her that it was really fine and Mark could almost hear the sigh on the other end of the phone as Arit accepted Mark's choice and sent in another message.
[I'll make fried rice and vegetables then. It's been a while since we had that. Oh yeah, and Dad said he wants to send some money over for a new cooker and oven. I think I'll use it to buy just the cooker and send the rest back since we already have an oven in the hotel.]
Mark grinned as he remembered how good Arit's fried rice was. Arit's fried rice could raise someone from the dead with how good it was! But Mark was stunned that Arit had still not told her father that they were no longer living in the former house. What the hell would happen if he wanted to come visit and he went to that former house?
The man might have a heart attack thinking that we eloped or something. Mark decided that he would call Arit's father later and tell him about it himself. Mark was the one who took Arit away from that house, so it was only right that he took care of this as well.
But Mark didn't like the fact that Arit was still relying on the little money that her father sent them to buy things. This was not the first time that Mark would feel like this. Mark has tried to give Arit money many times, but she was always adamant that she had enough and that she did not need more money. So Mark decided that he would just stop asking and he opened his CoinApp.
[You have sent $3,500,000 to Arit Clayborne.]
Mark sent a message to Arit telling her to use some of that to buy meat for the fried rice and he was surprised when he didn't get a response from Arit for a long time. Mark raised a brow in surprise as he waited for Arit to say something back, and it was only after a few minutes that he got multiple back-to-back messages from Arit like a tsunami!
Arit was sitting on an empty bench on the train with her phone in her lap and her head hunched down as she typed furiously while trying to understand what the hell just entered her account! This was not normal money! This was too much!
Ping! Ping! Ping!
[Mark! Mark, what is this!? I think you made a mistake! There are five more zeros than what I need for the meat!! What are you thinking!? Take it back!
I'll send it back!]
Ping! Ping! Ping!
[I dropped my phone once I saw it! What the hell am I doing with this kind of money? Thank god no one saw that alert! I would have been robbed at gunpoint!]
[Mark, why can't I send you money!? Did you block me on CoinApp? Mark! Answer me! Mark!]
Ring~! Ring~! Ring~! Ring~!
Mark's phone immediately began to ring, and he put the phone away from his face as he started to see more and more messages from Arit when he didn't pick up the phone!
[Mark, please! I don't know what to do with this much money! I feel restless just looking at it! It's too much! How can you even send this much money at once!? I didn't know CoinApp could take this much money!
Isn't this enough to buy a new house!?]
[Mark!!! Pick up the phone!]
Mark finally sighed as he picked up Arit's call when it came through again. She was really distressed, and he figured he might as well talk to her and calm her down.
[Mark, when are you thinking!? Three million -]
Arit's voice quickly came down as she realized that she almost blurted out the amount that Mark sent. She was currently on a train going back home, and there were people all around her and looking at her curiously. Arit didn't want anyone to know what Mark just sent to her. She put her hand up to the mouthpiece of her phone and spoke in an angry whisper.
[Three million dollars! Are you mental!?]
"It's nothing, Arit. I just figured that it was better to give you that much so you don't have to worry about anything for some time. I'll send you more if it's not enough."
[You know that's not the issue here!]
Mark chuckled as he imagined the angry blush on Arit's face as she was saying that and Arit's blush deepened as she heard him laughing at her! This bastard was always getting on her nerves! She told him that she did not need this money, but he just wasn't listening to her!
[Unblock me on your CoinApp so I can send this back! I'm scared to even look at this kind of money! It's too much!]
"Arit, calm down. This is nothing to me, so you shouldn't see it as a big deal. You're my girlfriend, and it's going to be strange for you to constantly ask me for money whenever you want to do anything at all. Besides, don't you think it will be good for you to have ransom money in case I was ever kidnapped?"
[Don't joke about something so serious! This is not ransom money; this is the kind of money they murder people in cold blood for. Let me send it back, please.]
"Who the hell could even murder you in cold blood?"
Mark stopped himself from saying anything more as he knew that Luna was hearing everything that he and Arit were saying. Even though she wasn't doing it intentionally, it was obvious that she could hear them since she was so close. Mark didn't want Luna to know that Arit was already as strong as an S-rank.
Even if Arit were to get targeted by a small-time crook who had accidentally seen the money in her CoinApp, there was no way that they could do anything to her since she would easily destroy them without any effort.
