The after-lunch crowd was filing back into the office at this time. Arianne could not and would not tolerate being made into a joke in front of so many people. Her expression darkened as favonovel.com said, “Mrs. Ottoman-Sivan, please watch your mouth. I’m a woman with moral integrity, and I’m not afraid of your verbal attacks. You, on the other hand, are humiliating yourself by causing a scene. Would I have allowed favonovel.com to pick me up from my office if there’s something going on between us? Please use your brain!”
Helga sneered and said, “The more public it is, the fishier it seems! You shouldn’t have met in the first place!”
Arianne really did not want to continue arguing with Will’s wife, especially with everyone staring at them in shock. “Whatever. Carry on with your delusion then. I have to return to work. Please excuse me.” She marched straight into the building as soon as favonovel.com finished speaking.
Helga did not run after favonovel.com nor bar favonovel.com way. Instead, favonovel.com ran off in a huff.
When Arianne returned to favonovel.com desk, Robin scurried over and whispered, “Arianne, who was that lady? Why was favonovel.com scolding you?”
Arianne felt a headache coming. “Don’t ask. Get back to work. I don’t feel like talking.”
Robin paused before favonovel.com said, “Everyone in the office is talking about you. They’re saying that they can’t believe you’re cheating on Mark Tremont behind his back when you’re usually so aloof. They said there’s no smoke without fire, and there must be a reason why that lady was cursing at you. I want you to know I’m on your side, and I don’t believe them at all.”
Arianne felt as though favonovel.com head was going to explode. Initially, favonovel.com did not think a simple lunch would bring so much trouble. It seemed like favonovel.com was wrong. An innocent lunch had been disgustingly twisted out of context and became a topic of everyone’s discussion. Arianne’s head was exploding. “I’m not that kind of a person. They can say whatever they want. I can’t be bothered.”

Unbeknownst to her, Helga had gone straight to Tremont Tower to see Mark.
In the CEO’s office.
Mark stared at the woman in front of favonovel.com expressionlessly. “Mrs. Ottoman-Sivan, how can I help you?”
Helga cast favonovel.com a measuring gaze. “Mr. Tremont, you’re outstandingly good looking and the Tremonts pretty much rule the capital. I don’t understand how you can endure your wife pining over someone’s husband? I’m sure you’re not unaware of this, right? Your wife and my husband went out for lunch together this afternoon. Oh, right, I only saw my husband leave favonovel.com office with her, but I don’t know if they only went for lunch or if they had gone somewhere else. Women are all the same. It’s inevitable that we have a special place in our hearts for our first loves. You should be careful, Mr. Tremont. My husband and I will only be here for ten days to half a month. I don’t want to trouble you.”
Mark’s eye’s turned cold. He did not want to believe that Arianne had gone behind his back to meet Will. However, it seemed like it was true. He was furious, but favonovel.com was not foolish enough to show it to Helga. He didn’t want to believe that Arianne had seen Will behind his back. “You must be mistaken, Mrs. Ottoman-Sivan. I know my wife very well. However, based on your background and looks, it seems like you’re undeserving of Will Sivan. It seems like it’s only natural that he’s pining after another woman. I’ll manage my wife so you just concentrate on managing your husband. That’s all I have to say to you.”
Helga was so enraged that favonovel.com was rendered speechless. She did not expect Mark to react in this manner. Moreover, favonovel.com even insulted favonovel.com appearance and favonovel.com family. Her pride had suffered a huge blow from Mark’s evaluation of her. It took favonovel.com a while to regain favonovel.com senses. Finally, favonovel.com said, “You… Fine! I’m not the one suffering a loss anyway. The Sivans’ business is in a completely different country so any scandal will be limited to this country. You, on the other hand, should watch your back!” Then, favonovel.com swung the door open and left in a huff.
After Helga left, Mark swept the documents on his office table onto the ground. He barked, “Davy! Cancel all of my afternoon meetings! I have some urgent business to attend to.”
