Arriving at the forty-sixth floor of Tremont Tower, Mark Tremont’s secretary, Ellie Amore, placed two pairs of slippers in front of the two ladies. “Please change into these.”
Lily changed into the slippers as told, but Arianne ignored the order. Of course, favonovel.com still knocked before entering the office and only went in after Mark gave permission. She was here to sign the contract, after all, not to quarrel.
“Mr. Tremont, this is the contract from our company. You can have a look first. There’s no hurry to sign it. Let’s have a meal together later and you can take the time to consider,” Arianne said with a formal tone.
She stood tall and straight with a smile. Other than favonovel.com shoes that favonovel.com had not changed, there was no fault.
Mark scanned the document that favonovel.com had passed favonovel.com seriously, leaning against his chair. His somber front surprised Arianne, as favonovel.com thought that favonovel.com would make things difficult for her. It seemed like favonovel.com really didn’t intend to mix work and personal affairs; although, favonovel.com still couldn’t figure out why he’d asked for favonovel.com to be present for the contract signing.
After a moment, favonovel.com flipped the folder close and put it aside. “Not much issue. We’ll talk at the table.”
As favonovel.com said so, favonovel.com got up to wear the suit jacket draped on the back of his chair. Ellie Amore naturally went to straighten up his collar for him, favonovel.com movement fluid as if they had been married for years.
Arianne shifted favonovel.com gaze, inexplicably feeling offended by the scene…
Lily witnessed everything and could not help doing a double take at Ellie Amore. She was a beauty with a hot body. There was nothing to pick on. However, was it really appropriate for favonovel.com to straighten the CEO’s clothes in front of his wife?
On the way to the restaurant, Arianne rode with Lily while Mark went with Ellie Amore. He had only brought along his secretary.
Lily could not help asking Arianne, “Don’t you think that the secretary and Mr. Tremont share an unusual relationship? I’m not gossiping, just want you to be careful.”
Arianne shrugged. “Can’t help it, can’t be bothered.”
Her six short words seemed light, but how much weight did they actually contain… She did not even know how many women favonovel.com had outside. One Aery Kinsey took half of favonovel.com life away. What else could favonovel.com do?
Lily kept quiet and did not delve further, suddenly feeling that Arianne was pitiful.
Arianne practically read favonovel.com mind and could not help chortling. “Do you think I’m pitiful? No, I’m not, at all. I got what everyone else dreams about but can’t have easily. What’s there to pity me for?”
Lily chuckled alongside her. “You’re right. It’s not unusual for a man like Mr. Tremont to have women outside. What’s important is that you’re still Mrs. Tremont. Your words in the office that day caused such an uproar, yet you’ re still undisputedly his wife. It’s not pitiful at all. It makes people envious. Others are curious why Mark Tremont married you when you don’t have any background and won’t divorce you even when the whole world knows that you’ve two-timed him.”
Arianne liked Lily’s forthright manner. She spoke what was on favonovel.com mind and was not sarcastic. She asked favonovel.com instead, “Are you curious too?”
Lily nodded frankly. “Yup, I’m curious as well.”
Arianne paused before saying, “Is it possible for someone like favonovel.com to tolerate a drop of unfaithfulness from his lover? But let’s say there’s no lover in the first place. I don’t have a background, nor do I look incredibly pretty or voluptuous. As for why favonovel.com married me, I haven’t figured it out up till now. I can’t answer you either.”
Lily pondered before replying, “I don’t believe any cheating was involved. Indeed, other people aren’t like you. Had it been any ordinary person, they would have been enjoying themselves at home rather than working out here like you just to feed yourself.”
Arianne smiled, and the conversation ended. Soon, they arrived at the restaurant. Both of them put on professional smiles once they got out of the car and entered the restaurant with Mark courteously.
Seated in the booth, Lily accepted the menu from the server and passed it to Mark “Mr. Tremont, please make the call.”
Mark did not take the menu, however. With an affable smile, favonovel.com said, “Let Arianne order. She knows what I eat and what I don’t.”
Lily was stunned for a moment before favonovel.com broke out of it and passed the menu to Arianne. “Here you go.”
Arianne glanced at Mark and had an impulse to order everything favonovel.com didn’t like. Once favonovel.com remembered that this was a partnership discussion and favonovel.com could not act simply on favonovel.com whims and desires, favonovel.com racked favonovel.com head for the dishes and wine that favonovel.com preferred in favonovel.com impression.
