Arianna checked her appearance once again from behind the mirror. She felt it wouldn't hurt to double-check if her dress and makeup were still less than perfect or already looking 100% flawless. In fact, she had sprayed countless times the white musk-scented perfume from that famous brand all over her body.
Wearing a black cocktail dress adorned with glitter accents, Arianna looked incredibly sexy. From her body's curves to her long legs, everything was exposed without exception. Please don't forget, she was paid 250 million for her appearance tonight. Fortunately, all the items Samuel entrusted to her through Axel fit perfectly and were suitable for her to wear.
However, no matter what, Arianna essentially belonged to the category of good-looking women. Even at Pasific Palace, she was among the workers who were counted for their looks and skills. At that moment, Arianna was grateful for all the blessings that God had given her. Even though she was an orphan, it didn't hinder her in the slightest from achieving her dreams one by one.
"Lipstick is okay, eyelashes are stunning, and my hair looks like it's from shampoo commercials on TV. I think everything's in place," Arianna murmured to herself as she spun around in front of the mirror, making sure her appearance was already perfect.
"Arianna," someone called from outside the room. Opening the door, she looked amazed at the girl's appearance. Arianna had never dressed so beautifully before tonight.
"Why are you calling me like that?" she asked as she put tissues and her card wallet into the gold-colored clutch Samuel had given her.
"Where are you going all dolled up like this? Looking for rich guys?" inquired the young girl who happened to be Maria.
Arianna turned around. With her hands on her hips, she frowned. "Come on! Do you think your pretty sister is cheap?"
"Then where are you going?" Maria asked again.
"Just somewhere. I'm going to the birthday party of the owner of Pasific Palace," Arianna explained while fastening the clutch in her hand.
"That sounds great. There must be a lot of delicious food there," Maria replied innocently. As an orphanage resident, it was undeniable that they often had meals with a basic menu. Let alone eating delicious food, having rice every day was already something to be thankful for. Occasionally enjoying good food was a rare treat, and Arianna had received a large bonus from her office a while ago.
"Not really, dear," Arianna replied. "Besides, even if there's plenty of delicious food, I won't eat."
"Why?" Maria asked in confusion. "If it were me going, I'd pack some for the kids at the orphanage. It's free!"
Arianna laughed. Why was her little sister so innocent? She gently stroked the hair of the little girl she had come to consider as her own sibling. "I have no appetite for that. I prefer the food cooked by Bu Laura. It's more satisfying, tastier, and delicious. Especially when she cooks our favorite dishes. Hmm... getting hungry, aren't you?" Arianna's jest caused Maria to unconsciously swallow her saliva. "But speaking of delicious food, since I'll be getting my salary tomorrow, how about we cook chicken and beef for a change?"
Maria immediately nodded with enthusiasm. "Really? You isn't lying, is she?"
"Naah, not really," the girl replied quickly. "Tomorrow after work, I'll buy the ingredients for us to cook together."
"Yay!" Maria exclaimed in joy. She felt so happy because, after a long time, she and the other children from the orphanage could have a party while enjoying delicious food.
"Alright then," Arianna continued, preparing to end the conversation. "I'm going to leave now. If you feel tired, just go to bed early."
"Why's that?" Maria asked again. Don't be surprised. Among the many children in the orphanage, this girl was known to ask a lot of questions.
"I might be coming back a bit late. So, no need to wait up. You'll get tired," Arianna explained.
"Okay," Maria said, giving a thumbs-up. She then followed Arianna as she headed towards the front door. "Be careful on the road, okay? If someone's mean, just shout loudly."
Arianna sighed. Holding 10-centimeter heels in her right hand, she nodded. "Don't worry. I know self-defense. No one would dare to bother me."
***
Arianna seemed to look in all directions to make sure where Samuel's car was. Instead of being picked up right in front of the orphanage, she had arranged to be picked up right in front of IndoApril, which was about 200 meters from her place.
Arianna had her reasons for this. She simply didn't want to attract attention from the people around, especially if they saw her being picked up by a luxury car. Oh, she could become the talk of the town for days if the nosy neighbors got wind of it. That's why Arianna played it safe for the sake of her peace.
After waiting for almost five minutes, Samuel's car finally arrived. After making sure no one was watching, Arianna quickly got into the car and followed the driver to their destination.
"Your house is really hard to find. My driver had to go around looking for the address," Samuel complained while they were both inside the car.
"Sorry," Arianna replied apologetically. "That's why, Pasific Palace should have a housing program for employees whose locations are in the city center, Sir. So, Mr. Samuel won't have to go through the trouble of picking me up in the future."
Samuel sighed and turned to Arianna. "No need to be arrogant. Who's going to pick you up in the future anyway? Besides, you've just received 250 million, so why don't you use the money to rent a house, an apartment, or maybe a slightly better-located boarding house?"
Arianna chuckled softly. She didn't know what it was that made her suddenly find it funny. There was nothing strange about her boss's statement.
"Well, you never know. Maybe you'll still need my services in the future."
"No, you won't," Samuel replied confidently.
"Alright then, if next time you want me to pretend again, I'll raise the fee," Arianna remarked.
The innocent expression Arianna displayed only irritated Samuel further. Immediately, he cursed silently in his heart. Not only was her house location hard to reach, but now she was also raising Samuel's blood pressure. If I wasn't pressed for time, I wouldn't even bother using your services, Arianna. Plus, it's so expensive!
As they entered Samuel's parents' housing complex, they prepared themselves inside the car. Before getting out, Samuel gave a briefing to ensure that he and Arianna would be on the same page when questioned by anyone at tonight's party.
"Do you remember what I just explained?" Samuel asked after a lengthy explanation.
"Yes, Sir," Arianna nodded.
"You said you understood. Why still call me 'Sir'?"
"Oops! Sorry, Sweetie. I'm not used to it yet. But by the way, what if there are questions or incidents outside of the briefing?"
"Well, you improvise, darling. Can't believe I paid you 250 million and you can't handle anything."
Arianna couldn't help but hiss in her heart at that moment. If she hadn't already been paid so much, she swore she would leave Samuel right then and there because of his annoying attitude.
Be patient, Arianna, be patient. Patient people have wide patience, right? Remember, you have to be professional. Pretend like you're acting in a movie.
Arianna repeated these words to herself in her mind. With a sweet smile, she finally followed Samuel out of the car.
Hand in hand, Samuel led Arianna straight to the main hall. There, Mrs. Arabella and the invited guests were already present, most of whom were executives and successful businessmen from various companies.
From Arianna's perspective, she could see how enthusiastic Arabella was about her son's arrival, especially when Samuel began introducing her.
"Mom, it's my birthday. As Samuel promised yesterday, today he's brought someone special who has been by Samuel's side all this time."
Arabella smiled, shifting her gaze as she gave Arianna a once-over, scrutinizing her appearance from head to toe for a moment. As if satisfied, she then welcomed Arianna, who stood right beside her son. With enthusiasm, Arabella welcomed her and even enveloped Arianna in a hug, despite clearly seeing her for the first time.
"I'm so glad Mama could meet you. What's her name, Honey?" Arabella asked, turning to her son.
"Arianna, Auntie. My name is Arianna Grey."
With a wide smile, Arabella responded to Arianna's answer. "Don't call me 'Auntie.' Just call me 'Mom.' All of Samuel's friends call me that to be more friendly."
Arianna nodded. Considering Arabella's wealth and that they had just met, she found Arabella to be quite friendly. That's why she didn't feel the slightest bit awkward following the woman's request.
"Yes, Mom."
Delighted by the arrival of a special guest, Arabella immediately pulled Arianna to approach the invited guests. Meanwhile, Samuel was left with his husband and nieces and nephews who were also present.
"Where did you pick up this girl again?" Rama, Samuel's eldest cousin, chimed in. Among all the cousins, he was the one who frequently clashed with Samuel on various matters.
"Not your business," Samuel replied casually. Instead of responding, he chose to move away and join his mother, who was engaged in lively conversation with her colleagues.
"In my opinion, opening a new branch doesn't necessarily require a physical store, Sir. It's the modern era now. People can establish a store or multiple branches with just a smartphone."
Everyone was immediately surprised by Arianna's statement. She was currently with Arabella, engaging in light conversation with the owners of major businesses in Indonesia.
"How do you do it?" asked Marcel, one of the crazy rich businessmen from Surabaya. He seemed interested in the material Arianna had been explaining.
"Market your products through e-commerce. Create a massive promotion during the soft opening. Don't forget to advertise on television. I'm sure it won't take long for your store to start running and expanding." Marcel immediately nodded, seemingly agreeing with Arianna's advice.
"What are they talking about?" Samuel, who suddenly found himself standing next to his mother, asked.
"This is Arianna. She's really good at personal marketing. Mr. Marcel, Mr. Hendra, and Mr. William were all amazed by the fresh ideas she just presented."
"That's right," one of Arabella's colleagues chimed in. "Arianna's business acumen seems to be above average. That's why, as it happens, my company is launching a new product next week. May I ask for Arianna's advice directly for consideration regarding its marketing strategy?"
It was Arabella who responded to her colleague's question, not Arianna. "Of course... of course... don't worry. Arianna will come with me." Arabella then turned to her son. "Is it okay, right? Next week, Mama will borrow Arianna to attend Mr. William's product launch event in Surabaya?"
"But, Mom—"
"Why?" Arabella inquired. "Does Arianna have a prior commitment for next week or is she unavailable?"
"Arianna—"
"It's okay, Mom," Arianna interjected innocently. Her actions made Samuel frown in displeasure. "My schedule is free next week, right, Sweetie?" she asked Arianna while playfully winking at him. She deliberately accepted Arabella's invitation because, to the best of her knowledge, there was an audit activity at the office next week. So, instead of dealing with office work, it was better to join Arabella for a trip to Surabaya. And it was free!
"Ah, yes... yes." Samuel reluctantly nodded, although he was seething with anger inside. "Arianna can accompany Mom next week."
"Thank goodness," William said with relief. "In that case, I'll be waiting for Mrs. Arabella and her future daughter-in-law next week in Surabaya. And don't forget, if Mr. Samuel and Ms. Arianna are getting married soon, please inform me."
"Wait a minute." Samuel interrupted. "What does this mean? Who said we're getting married soon?" A look of confusion was clearly written on the tall and statuesque man's face.
Seeing her son looking puzzled, Arabella quickly provided an explanation to avoid Samuel's confusion.
"Yes, Sweetie. Arianna said that your relationship is already serious. So, Mama thought, why don't you get engaged and married soon? Besides, Mama likes Arianna."
"Samuel and Arianna are indeed in a serious relationship, but we're not rushing to get married, Mom. Just let us enjoy dating for a while."
Arabella didn't mind. Instead of listening to her son's words, she walked onto the stage with a glass of wine in her hand.
"Attention, everyone," Arabella began, getting the attention of all the guests. "First of all, I want to thank you all for being here at today's event. There's nothing more valuable than the heartfelt wishes and prayers you offer. Tonight, aside from celebrating my birthday, I, Arabella Walters, am very happy to receive a gift brought by my beloved son. So, tonight, I would like to introduce someone very special to all of you. My son, Samuel Walters, has found the life partner he has been searching for, Arianna Grey."
Everyone immediately applauded as Arabella pointed her hand towards where Arianna was standing.
"In addition, tonight, I would also like to make an announcement that in the near future, Samuel and Arianna will be engaged and soon to be married. Therefore, I request prayers from all of you so that this plan can proceed as intended."
Listening to Arabella's announcement, both Samuel and Arianna were equally surprised. They had never expected that the game they were playing would end up like this. Now, they had a decision to make: whether to continue with their original plan or end the game right now.
"Mom, Samuel is leaving now. Once again, happy birthday." After finishing conversations and mingling with all the important guests present at the party, Samuel decided to head home promptly. After all, she was aware that tonight she was bringing Arianna along, and it didn't feel right to keep a girl out late, even though she had every right to do so since she had paid the woman so handsomely. Besides being tired, Samuel was also not in the mood to deal with all the questions from her mother and extended family. That's why as soon as the event ended, she quickly took Arianna to say goodbye. "Thank you so much for coming and keeping your promise to introduce Arianna to Mama. Just so you know, Mama is very happy tonight," Arabella expressed. She gave Samuel a hug before letting her son leave the party. "Samuel is also happy if Mama had a good time tonight." "Oh, definitely," Arabella replied. "Especially Arianna's presence made Mama's party even livelier. I hope we can meet her again
Today, Ariana appeared busy completing all the tasks Samuel assigned to her. There were so many of them that she even had to skip lunch. If Ariana thought about it, it seemed like Samuel intentionally gave her endless tasks. For some reason, Ariana believed that all of this was still related to her boss's anger over everything that happened at Mrs. Arabella's birthday party. "Such an annoyance! The boss is so unprofessional. Does he really think that end-of-month tasks need to be done right now? Is he even sane?" Grumbling, Ariana's eyes remained focused on her personal computer screen. She was determined to finish all the work Samuel had given her today. She didn't want to go home late because she had to drown in tasks. Not a chance, she thought! "Ariana, I looked everywhere for you, and here you are hiding." Chacha, Ariana's friend from a different department, paid her a visit. Realizing that Ariana was nowhere to be found during the lunch break, Chacha took the initiative to se
While waiting for Ariana, who was in the restroom, Chacha was seen helping to organize the files that Ariana had previously arranged. She neatly arranged them from the oldest date to the newest. Continuing to sort the files, suddenly, a woman's voice was heard from behind. As Chacha turned, she immediately stood up and saluted. "Mrs. Arabella." Chacha greeted while bowing respectfully. She was quite surprised to find the mother of Pasific Place's leader suddenly visiting after so long. She wondered what business had brought the queen to their office. "Is Samuel in his office?" Arabella asked. "Yes, Ma'am," Chacha quickly replied. "Mr. Samuel is inside with Mr. Axel. It seems they are conducting a performance evaluation. Would you like me to escort you in?" Arabella shook her head, smiling in response to what Chacha had told her. "No need. I'll go in by myself. Thank you for the information." Arabella then walked into the room. After making sure that the queen's presence was out
Ariana rubbed her face in frustration. She didn't know what else to say when she remembered the dinner at Arabella's house just a few hours ago. Ariana had intended to be honest in order to make Samuel's parents feel at ease. However, the opposite had happened. What Ariana said and shared only seemed to draw even more attention from the Prawira couple. "It seems Samuel can't invite Ariana's parents over, Mom," Samuel said at the time. She said this on purpose because she didn't want to complicate their fake relationship further and lead to unwanted problems. "Why?" Arabella asked curiously. "Don't you want to introduce Mama to Ariana's parents?" "It's not like that," Ariana replied. Finally, she joined the conversation, thinking that what she said next might make Arabella stop wanting to marry her and Samuel. "Both of my parents have been gone for a long time. I'm actually an orphan. I've been living in an orphanage since birth. That's why it's highly unlikely that you both will me
Axel could clearly see Samuel's sour expression since this morning. Believing that his boss might be going through something, he decided to muster the courage to ask. Who knows, he might be able to help solve the problem Samuel was currently facing. Furthermore, Axel couldn't let Samuel continue to be so irritable. In the long run, it would affect the man's performance in completing his tasks. "What's really going on, sir? I've noticed for a while now that you seem a bit puzzled," Axel inquired. Samuel turned and, after sighing repeatedly, attempted to answer Axel's question with uncertainty. Whatever he was thinking right now seemed to be bothering him, not a little, but a lot. "You can read this proposal yourself," Samuel said, offering a folder with documents to Axel. He preferred his assistant to read it himself rather than explaining it as usual. After a few minutes of reading and trying to understand the content, Axel immediately smiled. The excitement was clearly visible on
Actually, getting married is a very sacred thing for an Samuel Walters. He hopes to go through the wedding process only once in his life, and it must be with the woman he loves very much. Samuel has always dreamt of marrying Valerie, the woman he has considered his life partner for many years. Samuel has made many plans, from the wedding venue to the wedding concept, honeymoon destination, and even the number of children he envisions after marrying Valerie. However, hopes remain hopes. All the beautiful plans he has made do not align with the existing expectations. In reality, Valerie prioritizes her career over the continuation of the relationship they have built over the years. Despite the fact that Valerie could easily get whatever she wants when officially becoming the wife of an Samuel Walters without the need for hard work, Samuel's wealth can provide her with everything she desires on this earth. Nevertheless, she still does not agree with what Samuel wants and chooses to pur
Sweat trickled down Arianna's forehead as she clutched her stomach, asking the taxi driver to pull over at one of the pharmacies along the roadside.Due to being late for dinner, her long-standing stomach ailment had flared up, making her extremely uncomfortable until this morning. As a result, Arianna curled up on the bed for a while. After feeling a bit better, she slowly prepared herself to head to the office.She could have taken a sick day, but remembering the pending work that needed to be completed before stopping, Arianna forced herself to go. She chose to make a quick stop at the pharmacy before continuing her journey to the office. She didn't care if Axton or Samuel would be angry later because she arrived later than usual.Upon reaching the office and walking towards the lobby, Arianna was slightly surprised. She saw some of her colleagues gathered not far from the reception desk.Initially, she chose to ignore them and continued walking towards her room. However, when she
Since morning, after returning from the market, Arianna chose to take a quick shower and then busied herself in the kitchen. It's been her habit every Sunday to spend time preparing breakfast and lunch for all the residents of the orphanage.With the help of Citra and Angela, the three of them cooked several dishes to be served. Earlier, they had already cooked fried rice with scrambled eggs to be eaten for breakfast.After finishing breakfast, they prepared several dishes like tamarind soup paired with grilled grouper and shrimp paste chili. And not to forget vegetable soup with breaded fried chicken in a considerable amount for lunch."It's rare to cook this much. We're like preparing for a feast," Angela said while flipping the grilled fish."Once in a while. Luckily, I have some extra income. Besides, it's been a while since we had grilled fish," Arianna replied."The other kids will be really happy because today we have breaded fried chicken and vegetable soup.""Hopefully, every
During Arianna's first delivery, Arabella was visibly excited, eagerly awaiting and welcoming the birth of her grandchild. This time, however, Darwin and Randy were the ones filled with enthusiasm over the birth of Samuel and Arianna's twin babies. It all started with Samuel assigning his two cousins the task of naming their newly born son and daughter. Samuel and Arianna were indeed grateful because their children were born as twins and even had matching genders. "So, have you got the names for the babies yet?" Samuel asked. At the moment, both cousins along with other family members were gathered in the hospital room. Even Rama was present at the hospital. He happened to have a task that brought him to Indonesia for a few days. Upon hearing from Arabella that Arianna had just given birth, he hurriedly visited with his mother. After being given a few hours to think, Randy, who was sitting, immediately looked up. Standing up, he then approached Samuel. "I've got one, not sure abo
In the car on the way to somewhere, Samuel laughed loudly. He chuckled to himself after listening to his wife's story, who intended to retaliate against Randy. Samuel didn't object at all. He thought his cousin needed to be taught a lesson once in a while to learn his lesson. "I can't imagine how annoyed Randy's face must be, having to treat and unwillingly pay for the orders I've already placed," Arianna exclaimed, continuing to laugh. "You're absolutely right." "Let it be! He brought it on himself by being mischievous. Besides, it's nothing compared to what he's done to me countless times. It's also a good deed. We'll donate the food to the orphanage," Arianna replied without feeling any remorse. Then she shifted the topic by asking Samuel something else. "By the way, where are you taking me? I've been wondering for a while now." Samuel glanced briefly, smiling as he answered his wife's curiosity. "I'm planning to surprise you," he said, keeping his focus on the road ahead. "A
Upon realizing she had been blatantly deceived by Randy, the next day Arianna invited Samuel's cousin to have lunch together. With the intention of seeking direct clarification and giving a lengthy lecture on what he had done to her. That's why, after dropping Kalvin off at Arabella's house, Arianna hurried to her husband's office first. Upon arrival, she chose to wait for a moment in Samuel's room because he was currently attending a meeting with other Pacific executives. "After a more in-depth evaluation, there are no longer any obstacles found in this project. I think, going forward, we just need to monitor the progress of the tower construction and then discuss it again. Randy seemed serious as he presented and led the meeting today. While Samuel, from his seat, observed. Occasionally noting the important points conveyed by his cousin. "From our side, there are no issues or matters that need clarification at all, Mr. Randy," replied Agatha, who was attending the meeting today.
Since the unclear argument that happened last night, this morning Arianna continued her silent treatment. Despite still serving and even preparing breakfast for her husband, she did everything in silence. As a result, Samuel, unable to stand being ignored any longer, immediately confronted her. Seeking to ascertain what was really going on with his wife. "Honey..." called out Samuel. His usually firm voice sounded gentle this morning. Yet deep down, he was also frustrated at being ignored by his wife for too long. "Are you tired of being angry and ignoring me all the time? If I've done something wrong, I genuinely apologize," pleaded the man. He continued to gaze intently at Arianna, who was busy pouring milk into her glass. Today, Samuel didn't have to work as it coincided with a holiday. He had plans to take his wife out. However, seeing Arianna still angry since last night, Samuel was puzzled on how to persuade her. "I'm not angry," replied Arianna. Meeting his gaze, she spoke
Arianna knew that her relationship with Samuel had started accidentally. It began with a plan to secure a big tender while deceiving Arabella, and they agreed to a contractual marriage. Over time, love grew between them. Samuel was even the first person to declare his love for the woman he had married. They both promised to take their marriage seriously, to care for each other, to support and complement each other, to stay together faithfully until the end of their lives. Seeing Samuel's sincerity, love, and affection over the years, Arianna doubted that her husband was up to something behind her back. However, after noticing several oddities and Samuel's increasingly strange behavior, Arianna decided to find out what was really going on. Arianna had every reason to be suspicious. Samuel's recent movements only added to her concerns. Like detectives in movies, Arianna sought Randy's help to tail her husband, who was heading somewhere unknown. From the office, they cautiously follow
"If you look at it, land preparation and access roads are not a problem anymore. I'm optimistic that this project can be completed within a maximum period of 2 years," Samuel said, currently discussing in the meeting room with Randy and Agatha. They were indeed in a discussion, talking about the apartments and shopping center that would soon be built. All three of them looked serious, exchanging ideas to be evaluated later. Agatha, starting to feel comfortable at Pasific, didn't miss a chance to hear how Samuel presented his ideas briefly. Agatha had to admit, her ex-boyfriend was very credible in carrying out his tasks and responsibilities. Agatha was even impressed by Samuel's demeanor, always serious in giving explanations. "When the towers here are completed, the next step will be the groundbreaking for the tower in Singapore, right?" Agatha asked to confirm. "Yes, that's correct," Samuel nodded. "That means our team will take turns staying in Singapore." Agatha smiled widely
Arianna watched her husband carefully as he enjoyed his breakfast. Since last night, she couldn't stop thinking. Where did Samuel go, actually? He claimed to be going out and wanted to meet Randy to discuss something. But, when directly asked, Randy himself didn't seem to know anything about it. He even insisted that he was at home because he had just returned from the office. So, did Samuel lie to her? But why? Why did her husband have to lie like that? Because of what happened last night, negative thoughts immediately flooded her mind. Full of questions, she pondered what Samuel was hiding because his behavior had been very strange lately. "Sweetheart," Arianna spoke up after taking a sip of warm milk from the glass she held. "Yes, what is it, honey?" Samuel replied, smiling at Arianna and waiting for her to speak. "Is there anything you want to tell me or talk about?" she asked cautiously, her words inviting questions in Samuel's mind. "Talk? About what?" he asked, puzzled by
"Finally, you're back here, Mrs. Agatha. Mr. Samuel and I hope that for the next two months, you'll be comfortable here in Indonesia and the Pacific," Randy warmly greeted Agatha as she returned to Indonesia. While discussing project schedules, he occasionally threw jokes to lighten the atmosphere. "Thank you very much for the warm welcome, Mr. Randy and Mr. Samuel. I'm truly delighted to be back here and working on projects with great people like both of you," replied Agatha with a smile. Her gaze didn't stray from the figure of the man in the gray suit, who was none other than Samuel. He was the one she wanted to meet at the company. Samuel reciprocated with an equally friendly smile. After Randy, it was his turn to speak. "I hope that during the project execution and supervision process, there won't be any significant obstacles or difficulties. Even if there are any problems or something that needs consultation later on, don't hesitate to ask for help from me, Mr. Randy, or any
Entering the eighth month of pregnancy, Arianna's belly was noticeably large. Fortunately, in this final trimester, she still had the freedom to engage in many activities. Despite feeling tired more quickly, she still enjoyed everything she did. Besides, it would be boring to just sit around or spend a lot of time watching TV and lounging in the room as Samuel often suggested."I think you should just stay home and enjoy some me-time. Whether it's watching Korean dramas, relaxing while snacking, or inviting someone over. Ask Chacha or Madam Laila to accompany you for a chat rather than going out alone," her husband often said.Arianna had heard this sentence many times from her husband's mouth. Somehow, in this second pregnancy, Samuel's worries were evident from the beginning."If I stay at home all the time, I'll get bored, Sam. I want to go to the office or go out. Spend time outside," Arianna replied.
