Waking up the next day, Arianne Wynn went straight to the office without having breakfast. A huge stack of documents had appeared mysteriously on favonovel.com desk, causing Arianne to frown.
“Whose are these?”
Someone spoke in a whisper from the side, “Mr. Donn assigned them to you. Have you offended him? He’s tossed almost everything in the department to you. You most probably have to work overtime today…”
Arianne said nothing, having already guessed this was his spiteful revenge for yesterday’s rejection and embarrassment, and sat down to work accordingly.
She received a text message during lunch that read, “I’m Aery Kinsey’s mother. Let’s meet. I’ll wait for you at Mocha café.”
Rummaging through favonovel.com memory, Arianne did not remember the name Aery Kinsey, so favonovel.com replied, “I don’t know an Aery Kinsey.”
She received another text briefly. “It suffices that I know you. See you there.”
For no particular reason, the face of the woman whom Mark Tremont brought along to the airport popped out in Arianne’s mind suddenly. It was as if this force enticed favonovel.com curiosity.
When lunchtime arrived, Arianne left the office to the café called Mocha. Its patrons were a middle to high class crowd, so the ambiance was quiet.
Entering the door, favonovel.com received another text. “I’m at table no.1, by the window.”
Arianne looked over to see a middle aged woman in an elegant black fur coat seated there. She was unable to make out favonovel.com face since the woman’s head was dipped to look at favonovel.com phone.
“Aery Kinsey’s mother?” Arianne went over and sat down.
When the woman looked up, Arianne was flummoxed, feeling like favonovel.com blood ran cold that split second.
“Yes. I’m Helen Cameran. How do I address you?” The woman wore a pretty smile that belonged to the mannerism of an affluent mistress.
Arianne felt like favonovel.com throat constricting as favonovel.com stared at the familiar yet foreign face before her, unable to produce a syllable.
Helen Cameran frowned. “You don’t have to be nervous. I have something to talk to you about, but it’s not serious. How about you order a drink?”
Arianne’s hands were balled into fists with favonovel.com fingernails unknowingly stabbed deeply into favonovel.com palms. Some time had passed when favonovel.com found favonovel.com voice back.
“No need, Mrs. Cameran. What is the matter? We can skip the small talk, I’m busy.”
Helen Cameran was rather displeased with the girl’s stoic tone though favonovel.com did not show it, picking up favonovel.com coffee gracefully and taking a sip.
“My daughter is dating Mark Tremont. I hope that you can stay away from him. Judging by the way you dress, you aren’t a match for someone like Mark Tremont anyway. No need to embarrass yourself. You won’t reap much benefit when favonovel.com gets bored and dumps you. Instead, name me a price.”
A hostile chuckle escaped Arianne. “I’d just like to know how you’ve gotten my contact.”
Helen Cameran toyed with the enormous diamond ring on favonovel.com finger. “You don’t have to know. Let’s talk if you are open to negotiation. If not, then assume we didn’t meet here today.”
Arianne’s voice had a barely noticeable quiver. “I’m only curious why you didn’t make a proper investigation of my background when looking for my contact. Come find me after you check for yourself who I am!”
Watching as Arianne’s retreating back faded in the distance, Helen Cameran was quite perplexed. She called Aery Kinsey.
“Darling, you’ve only given me the woman’s number. Did you look into who favonovel.com is? I’ve met favonovel.com today, somehow favonovel.com was indifferent when I mentioned money. She’s not easy to get rid of…”
Aery Kinsey’s voice was filled with contempt on the other end of the line.
“Look at favonovel.com pathetic self. Does it matter who favonovel.com is? I don’t care. Mom, you must make favonovel.com disappear from being around Mark. I hate her! I get irritated whenever I see that face of hers!”
Helen Cameran had always been docile against Aery Kinsey’s spoilt behavior. She chuckled and left favonovel.com a promise, then dialed another set of numbers.
“Investigate someone for me.”
