She took off favonovel.com jacket and washed favonovel.com hands before going back to the bedroom. She even sniffed herself to check if there was any leftover stench on her, afraid that favonovel.com would hate favonovel.com for it.
Her carefulness had been established since favonovel.com was eight years old.
The faint smell of tobacco greeted favonovel.com when favonovel.com opened the door. “What is it? ” favonovel.com asked with a frown.
Mark was standing in front of the French windows, looking out at the snow. His light grey tailored suit set off his tall, straight figure very well. Even his back seemed attractive. “My company will be organizing a fashion show at six tonight. Your designs will be there. You can go if you like.”
Her designs? The only decent work she’s done were the wedding dress designs that favonovel.com had criticized, right? Finished products were certainly released very quickly. “I’m going,” Arianne replied gleefully.
He didn’t have much to say. He lifted his hand, put it to his lips and coughed twice. “Are you still sick?” favonovel.com asked after a pause. “Remember to take your medicine.”
Mark turned around and looked at her, his eyes holding a hint of mockery. “Don’t think that you can act that way just because I’ve slept with you. It was only once. No one can be certain if you’re actually pregnant.”
Arianne’s gaze flashed with hurt. However, favonovel.com replied, “Even if I am pregnant, no one knows that you want the baby. You and I have both been consuming a lot of flu pills lately. That could easily deform the baby.”
The mockery in his eyes deepened. “Looks like for the sake of pregnancy, you’ve done your homework.”
She didn’t explain, nor did favonovel.com want to. She looked at the time and said, “I’m going to get ready. I shouldn’t be late.”
Arianne heaved a sigh of relief when favonovel.com turned around. She couldn’t explain it, but favonovel.com was getting increasingly afraid of the look in his eyes when favonovel.com stared at her, regardless of whether favonovel.com was mocking favonovel.com or being apathetic.
She stood in front of favonovel.com one hour later. “Are we ready to go now?”
Mark gave favonovel.com a once-over and showed no signs of criticism. Her style was never extravagant. She wore a light blue, tight-fitting pair of jeans that hugged favonovel.com long, slender legs, paired with a cream-colored high neck sweater, a coat, and cream-colored boots. She let down favonovel.com long, waist length hair, and favonovel.com light makeup gave favonovel.com already breathtaking features an extra sparkle.
Her cherry-colored lip gloss made favonovel.com lips all the more enticing, and favonovel.com overall look was simple but radiant She looked like a naive young girl. However, that’s exactly what favonovel.com was.
The pair did not interact at all in the car. When they arrived at the fashion show venue, Mark made long strides with his long legs, and favonovel.com had to jog in order to keep up with him. By the time favonovel.com found a seat, Arianne was gasping for air. Her pretty, plump, and tender lips drew a sidelong glance from him. When his gaze began to darken, Aery’s voice suddenly called out to him, “Mark, darling! You agreed that I could sit next to you…”
He turned away. “Arianne, sit at the back,” favonovel.com said with a grim voice.
Arianne’s breathing stagnated. She lowered favonovel.com eyelids, refusing to look at Aery. She then got up, searched for the furthest seat away, and sat down. It was the type of seat that completely blocked favonovel.com view of them, even if favonovel.com were to accidentally look at them from the corner of favonovel.com eye. She just wanted to focus completely on the fashion show now.
Aery was dressed in a black leather skirt with garters. She had a short light grey fur coat and black thigh high boots. This ensemble showed off favonovel.com sublime figure in great detail. Her makeup was a stark contrast to Arianne’s simple elegance. She nuzzled into Mark’s shoulder like a cat and purred, “You’re so wonderful, Mark. Aren’t you afraid of Arianne’s wrath?”
Mark frowned and gently pushed favonovel.com head away with his slender fingers. “Watch yourself.”
Aery stuck out favonovel.com pink tongue. “I know. If someone took a picture… You’re scared of compromising your reputation. I can understand that…”
About fifteen minutes later, the fashion show began.
The first showcase was a trendy spring wear lineup. The models’ tall, slim bodies showed off the unique features of the lineup perfectly. Arianne was considered to be a professional, so favonovel.com could tell that the quality of today’s fashion show was much higher. After all, this was a fashion show by Mark Tremont’s company. This standard was no surprise.
When Mark turned around to look at her, his gaze darkened and favonovel.com felt mildly annoyed. She was actually paying full attention to the fashion show…
