Chapter 20 It’s None Of My Business

Travis casually strode into the room and waved Arianna in to follow him. He stood by the window and pulled a cigarette box out of his pocket. He lit the cigarette and then brought it to his mouth.

After a leisurely inhalation, he said, “What a coincidence, we have met again.”

Arianna stepped into the entrance of the room and just looked at him.

He passed the cigarette box to her, “Try one.”

She caught the box, but he noticed he did not get a reaction out from her. He shallowly smiled, “What? Did you forget how to smoke?”

Arianna spent a lot of effort speaking, “Why?”

Travis looked coldly through the smoke of his burning cigarette.

More forcefully, she repeated, “Why?”

He slowly put out the half-burnt cigarette in the ashtray on the windowsill. He still spoke very casually, “You need to read some useful books instead of your nonsense love stories. You don’t learn anything practical from those books.”

Snickering, he continued, “They only make you look more and more stupid.”
