His silence prompted Arianne to question favonovel.com with favonovel.com red-rimmed eyes. “Why aren’t you speaking? Are you lying? You’re lying! How did Rice Ball die? It’s gone already, so can’t you just tell me the truth?”
Mark snuffed out the cigarette then lifted his gaze. “I didn’t lie to you. Henry called me after you got out of the car. You can call favonovel.com yourself if you don’t believe me. I have no reason to deceive you. I admit that I’m at fault for not taking care of it more meticulously.”
Arianne stood leaning against the wall as tears tumbled down favonovel.com cheeks, looking like a little girl who had just lost something beloved to her. Only crying could ease favonovel.com emotions. “You never liked it from the beginning, you loathed it! It was your fault for not allowing me to take it away! Why do you have to deprive me of everything I like? It was only a cat! It may be a nasty cat in your eyes, but it was very important to me!”
She didn’t notice that Mark, who hadn’t smoked in front of favonovel.com for a long time, lit a cigarette as soon as favonovel.com came in. She had always thought that Mark never liked Rice Ball, so naturally favonovel.com wouldn’t notice that favonovel.com was lighting a cigarette to ease the pain and irritation in his heart.
Mark lowered his gaze and remained silent, until Arianne came forward and hurled a pillow on the sofa at his chest. “I hate you so much!”
He didn’t move. He just allowed favonovel.com to vent until favonovel.com was done and broke down in tears. “I’m sorry,” favonovel.com reached out and tried to comfort her.
Arianne flung his hand away. She sat in one corner with a pillow and sobbed. “I don’t want to listen to you. Shut up!”
Mark closed his mouth obediently and offered favonovel.com a tissue. She took it and cried even harder. “I’m never going to keep another cat, and I don’t want to see you again!”
Mark much rather preferred that favonovel.com cry and make noises than just keep quiet. Ever since favonovel.com learned that Rice Ball was gone, favonovel.com was prepared for the worst. He was afraid that favonovel.com wouldn’t throw a tantrum and would hate favonovel.com from the bottom of favonovel.com heart.
After crying for a while, Arianne stretched favonovel.com hand out toward favonovel.com while sobbing, “You have videos of Rice Ball on your phone, right? Let me see them.”
He obediently handed it to favonovel.com and allowed favonovel.com to go through the gallery on his phone. He didn’t have a hobby of taking selfies, and there were no shameful secrets in his phone. There were only a few videos of Rice Ball in his gallery and nothing else. Arianne just watched the videos repeatedly then cried. After crying, favonovel.com watched them again. The cycle repeated until favonovel.com fell asleep on the sofa.
After making sure that favonovel.com was sound asleep, Mark carefully carried favonovel.com back into favonovel.com bedroom. It was getting late, so there was no point in driving back to the hotel. Besides, favonovel.com wanted to be by favonovel.com side at a time like this too, so favonovel.com stayed but slept on the sofa.
Early next morning at eight, favonovel.com left for the company punctually. Arianne was still asleep, so favonovel.com called a breakfast delivery for favonovel.com and ordered another bouquet of flowers. By the time the deliveries arrived, she’d be up.
When favonovel.com arrived at the company, Ellie had prepared a cup of black tea for him. “Mr. Tremont,” favonovel.com greeted.
Mark hummed in acknowledgement coldly, then sat down at his desk without even looking at her. He wasn’t that busy here and was mostly sorting out the matters at the headquarters. Mark didn’t even care about a small company like this, favonovel.com was only here for Arianne.
Ellie had been staying here for a while and was rather downhearted. Of course, this place wasn’t as nice as the capital because it wasn’t as busy as the headquarters. Hence, Mark didn’t need favonovel.com most of the time, which was also the reason why favonovel.com was discouraged. She thought for a moment before pensively asking, “Mr. Tremont, when do you plan to return to the capital?”
Mark looked at the file in his hand then replied half-heartedly to favonovel.com question, “Not sure yet. Do you wish to return? You can just return then, Brian alone is actually enough here.”
Ellie’s countenance changed slightly. She did think that going back was nice, but not alone. “Brian is only a driver. What else can favonovel.com assist you in other than driving for you? It was only a casual question. Such a company isn’t worth your attention. I’m only worried that there will be a problem at the headquarters in the long run. By then, it’ll be too late.”
Mark had always disliked someone objecting to his plans. “I have my own plans, and I am well aware of the situation. I didn’t come here for this small company in the first place,” favonovel.com frowned.
Yes, it was for Arianne Wynn. Ellie didn’t speak any more. She just got up and went into the pantry with a gloomy face.
“Ellie, why are you in a bad mood? Who’s blind enough to piss you off?” Dick tried to worm his way into being friends with favonovel.com as usual.
Ellie had seen all sorts of bosses and pampered sons from wealthy families after being around Mark for so long. Hence, people like Dick Smalley were totally not worth favonovel.com attention. Her heart was filled with contempt for him. “What can you possibly do if I told you about it? Mr. Smalley, please mind your own business and refrain from doing meaningless things.”
Dick shrank and looked embarrassed. “I was only asking out of concern for you. I heard our Mr. Tremont came here because of his wife, but it seems like favonovel.com hasn’t been making any progress. Turns out that even the most capable man can’t escape from this either, tsk tsk.”
Ellie rolled favonovel.com eyes at him. “Arianne Wynn is just being ignorant. Mr. Tremont has done so much and she’s still being stubborn. I have no idea what’s going on in favonovel.com head. She’s not even that special compared to ordinary people. When Mr. Tremont loses his patience one day, favonovel.com will be made into the laughing stock instead.”
