It was time to leave but Marcel didn't want her to go, not to mention that Arianna too was tempted to stay. But she knew deep down that she couldn't waste any more time here, not if she wanted to gain her mother's trust for the next time.
Natalie already overlooked her crime of not returning home last night thanks to Eric, but if she fails to go home today as well, her mother would go ballistic and Arianna didn't want the already blossoming relationship between the both of them - Natalie and Marcel - to go sour.
"Give me a second to find my keys, I'll drive you home myself," Marcel said, searching for the key on his desk. He needed to apologize to Natalie for making Arianna fail her promise to her.
If he hadn't gotten drunk last night and made a scene, Arianna wouldn't be forced to return to the base with him. It was a privilege that Eric hadn't sent his people to come to take her already.
