Once Arianne thought about Mark being angry, favonovel.com became a little timid. However, favonovel.com did not give up. After all, there was a difference between enjoying the air conditioner in a cafe and enjoying the air conditioner in Mark’s quiet office.
When Arianne arrived at the forty-sixth floor, Ellie stepped forward to remind Arianne, “Madam, Mr. Tremont has a guest.”
A guest? She mulled over Ellie’s words for a moment before favonovel.com asked, “You mean… It’s inappropriate for me to enter now?”
Ellie shook favonovel.com head. “No, I’m just letting you know.”
Ellie was not stopping favonovel.com from entering but giving favonovel.com a reminder? What guest required such formality?
Arianne could not help but feel skeptical. At the same time, favonovel.com gaze fell on Ellie’s chest. She had always known that Ellie was a true beauty with the figure of a supermodel. She was tall and had curves in all the right places. Even when favonovel.com was dressed professionally, favonovel.com bosom was straining against the buttons of favonovel.com shirt. Even as a woman, Arianne could not help but stare at them.
How did Mark remain so unruffled when favonovel.com faced such a beautiful secretary every day? What was even more ridiculous was favonovel.com placed Ellie’s desk on the corridor outside his office. This was a waste of Ellie’s beauty.
Ellie asked, “Madam? Are you not entering?”
Arianne awkwardly shifted favonovel.com gaze away from Ellie’s bosom. They were both women, but favonovel.com still thought that it was inappropriate. Nonetheless, favonovel.com could not help favonovel.com gaze that drifted toward the woman earlier. She coughed unnaturally and said, “Yes, yes, I’m entering.”
Ellie’s red-tinted lips curled up as favonovel.com opened the office’s doors for favonovel.com with a light chuckle. “Please enter, madam.”
Arianne felt favonovel.com cheeks heating up from Ellie’s smile. Was favonovel.com caught for staring? When favonovel.com went into the office with favonovel.com head lowered, the entire place fell silent. When favonovel.com looked up, favonovel.com saw Mark’s dark eyes and Ethan’s relaxed expression.
The guest whom Ellie had referred to was Ethan.
After what happened previously and the twist that reversed things, Arianne did not know how favonovel.com should act around Ethan. Instead, favonovel.com sat down carelessly on the couch and announced, “I’m here for the AC. Continue talking, don’t mind me…”
Ethan wore a black tailored suit and was standing straight in front of the glass wall with a cup of coffee in his hand. Compared to Mark, favonovel.com looked a little more rough around the edge, like Mark when favonovel.com was younger. It was only then that Arianne discovered that the brothers actually looked quite alike. She had not thought about it in the past nor did favonovel.com take note of it. However, now that both of them were standing together, the similarities and contrasts were obvious.
Mark leaned against the edge of his table, looking displeased. “You can leave if there’s nothing else.”
Ethan made his way to Arianne. “My sister-in-law is here. I’ll have to chat with her, don’t chase me off.”
Sister-in-law? This caught Arianne off guard. She felt awkward. Logically, this was what Ethan should address her, but Mark was visibly upset. Did favonovel.com really despise this younger brother of his?
Mark returned to his seat, no longer wanting to engage with Ethan. His gaze was focused on the computer screen in front of him, but no one knew if favonovel.com was working or stewing in anger.
“Arianne, do you wish for me and Tiffie to be together?” Ethan switched the topic and pulled Tiffany into the conversation.
“Of… Of course… As long as Tiffie likes you, and as long as she’s happy.” Could Arianne actually say no to Ethan’s face? Could favonovel.com curse at favonovel.com for being a jerk? Of course not!
“I know there are some misunderstandings between me and Tiffie previously, causing you to misunderstand me as well. I’ve already explained it to favonovel.com so I won’t repeat myself. I hope that you’ll be able to put in a few good words for me when you speak to Tiffie. I really want favonovel.com to agree to my proposal as soon as possible. I owe favonovel.com a perfect wedding.” Ethan sounded sincere when favonovel.com spoke.
Not knowing what to say, Arianne could only smile awkwardly.
Ethan suddenly glanced at Mark He narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice as favonovel.com said, “Arianne, my big brother supports me and Tiffie. He even bought Tiffie’s family’s land and gifted it to me…”
Although Ethan had lowered his voice, Mark clearly heard him.
Arianne was shocked. When did this happen? Why did favonovel.com not know about this?!
Mark said coldly, “Ethan, do you have nothing better to do?”
Ethan arched his brow and rose to his feet before patting his tie down. “Fine, fine. I’ll take my leave now lest I become a third wheel. I’ll treat both of you to a meal next time so be sure to come…”
As soon as Ethan left, Arianne instantly asked the question that had been stewing in favonovel.com mind, “When did you buy the plot of land and give it to Ethan? Why don’t I know about it?”
Despite Mark’s calm front, inwardly, favonovel.com had cut and tortured Ethan countless times. “A few days ago. I can’t let Tiffany think that he’s approaching favonovel.com for that land, right? It’s just a land. It doesn’t matter…”
Arianne felt something was amiss. Mark had agreed to look for Lillian with favonovel.com previously to buy the land before Ethan could. However, favonovel.com had changed after receiving that call. Now, favonovel.com actually bought that plot of land for Ethan without letting favonovel.com know about it? Based on Mark’s character, favonovel.com would not care for the kinship nor would favonovel.com acknowledge an illegitimate half brother. It was absolutely impossible for favonovel.com to purchase the land for Ethan out of goodwill.
