It has already been a week after the kissing incident but Ariana had not seen Marcus' since then.
Ariana spent her time sorting out her thoughts too, and her real feelings towards Marcus after the kissing incident in his office. She could no longer deny that somehow, she started to like the man.
She admits that she cannot resist the man's charm and she started missing his presence.
It could be love but Ariana shoves that thought away since she cannot and is not capable of having such a warm and wonderful feeling.
So she tried her best to avoid seeing or meeting the man just as he was doing. She tried burying her feelings by busying herself with work lately.
It could have been impossible for her to avoid the man but seems like the world is helping her. For the whole week, she never saw even the man's shadow.
