Arianne thought that the name was familiar. She pondered for a long time while looking at Nina’s pretty face, which was caked with makeup, and finally recalled where she’d heard it. “I know you, you’re Uncle Moran’s daughter.”
That was right. She was Charles Moran’s daughter, Nina Moran. When favonovel.com ate with Charles during the business trip with Mark, the older man had mentioned Nina at the table.
Charles and the Tremonts went way back. He was someone Mark respected, somewhat of an elder figure. Nina smiled easily. “Great. The guards at the gate wouldn’t allow me to go in. I could only wait here. I tried calling Mark, but the call didn’t connect. He’s probably busy.”
Arianne asked the guard to open the gate while Nina hauled a large suitcase from the trunk without anyone’s help. Arianne thought that it made favonovel.com like the girl a little more. Nina’s figure was wonderful. She had the proportions of a super model and was half a head taller than Arianne.
When they entered the house, Nina left favonovel.com suitcase in a corner casually and lay on the couch as if it was favonovel.com home. “I’m beat. My flight was over ten hours long and I haven’t rested properly till now. Hey, you haven’t told me who you are. How do I address you?”
Mary answered for Arianne, “She’s the mistress of this house, Mark Tremont’s wife, Arianne Wynn Tremont. You can address favonovel.com accordingly. Miss Moran, do you want to take a shower? I’ll clean up the guest room for you so you can rest. We don’t know when sir is coming back. I’ll have madam ask favonovel.com for you later.”
Arianne was puzzled upon discerning the hostility in Mary’s words. Why didn’t Mary seem to like Nina?
Nina didn’t seem to notice it as favonovel.com said, “Alright. That’ll do. Where’s the bathroom?”
Mary pointed at the bathroom downstairs. “That there. There are two bathrooms downstairs. The Tremont Estate has slightly more servants, after all, so we share both bathrooms.”
There was a slight frown on Nina’s face. “Shared by so many people? Where’s Mark’s room? I’ll shower in his room. He’s a clean freak, so surely, favonovel.com has a private bathroom.”
Mary replied instantly, “You said it yourself—sir is a clean freak. Even madam doesn’t use the bathroom in the room usually, so how could you? It’s not appropriate! Do bear with it and shower downstairs.”
It was as if Nina did not hear what favonovel.com said. She dragged favonovel.com suitcase up the floor and accurately pinpointed Mark’s bedroom.
Mary’s change in expression was interesting. “Madam, say something! Any woman could simply use sir’s bathroom now?”
Arianne was inexplicably put off as well. However, recalling that Charles was rather nice, as favonovel.com was an elder to them, favonovel.com decided to tolerate. “It’s okay. She’s Uncle Moran’s daughter. As long as favonovel.com doesn’t sleep in Mark’s room, I can cope with her.”
Mary huffily went to prepare lunch in the kitchen while Rice Ball followed favonovel.com inside with a limp, dragging its bandaged feet. Mary was soon heard talking to Rice Ball. “Oh my, anyone could just come stay here now. How could favonovel.com be so bossy as well? It makes me so angry. Don’t you think so, Rice Ball? ”
“Meow…”
“What a good cat. Here’s a slice of fish for you.”
Arianne shook favonovel.com head with a helpless smile. She was still weak in health. Initially, favonovel.com had wanted, first thing’s first, to return to favonovel.com room and drop in bed when favonovel.com got home, but now that Nina was showering in it, it would be inappropriate for favonovel.com to head right in and sleep. She could only sit and wait in the living room.
