Arianne remained silent. She did not expect Will’s wife to be so aggressive. Not only did his wife humiliate favonovel.com by causing a big scene, but favonovel.com even went to Mark’s office to do it. Arianne felt pity for Will. He was such a gentle and elegant man, and yet, favonovel.com married such an unreasonable and uncouth woman. Moreover, favonovel.com was not the woman favonovel.com loved. It seemed like the burden on Will’s shoulders was much heavier than favonovel.com had imagined.
Mark exploded in anger when favonovel.com saw Arianne keeping quiet. “Say something! What does your silence mean? An admission of guilt?! I’m only in my early thirties, I don’t want to die in anger because of you!”
Arianne helplessly said, “What do you want me to say? I’ve said what needs to be said. It’s really just an innocent meal. He asked me out as a friend to catch up. What would you have me do? He’s a nice guy, I can’t find it in me to reject him. As for the past, shouldn’t we face it openly? Running away or hiding only makes us look guilty. I’ve not done anything I should feel guilty about, why should I run?”
After a brief pause, Mark suddenly asked, “Do you still like him?”
Arianne replied without hesitation, “I don’t. Also, Will said that time is an interesting thing. It’s able to make you dislike something you used to like. Likewise, it’s also able to make you like something you used to dislike. For example, you seemed so fierce and intimidating in the past, I didn’t think I would like you. And yet, didn’t I fall in love with you in the end? I no longer have that throbbing feeling in my heart that I used to have for Will. It’s an obvious win for you, and yet, you’re getting angry over nothing.”
Although Mark only snorted in response, Arianne knew favonovel.com words had affected him. At the very least, favonovel.com seemed to have calmed favonovel.com down a little. Fortunately, favonovel.com did not fight fire with fire and used Tiffany’s method to handle the situation instead. At this moment, favonovel.com realized why Tiffany had Jackson in the palm of favonovel.com hand. No matter who was in the right or wrong, as long as one gained the upper hand with coaxing words, men would always give in. After a moment, favonovel.com asked in an attempt to test the water, “Can I return to work? I still have some unfinished business there…”
Mark glared at her. “You’ve got time to eat with Will, but you don’t even have time to accompany me?”
Arianne smiled wryly. “Forget I said anything, I’ve asked for the day off anyway. I’ll accompany you instead. Where do you want to go? It’s the end of the year, our company’s not too busy, what about yours? Why don’t you go to your office? I’ll accompany you. You can work while I read in your office. Maybe I might even be able to help you… What do you think?”
Mark paused to think for a moment before favonovel.com said, “Alright, we can have dinner in the evening as well.” He was actually really busy. He had a meeting to attend in the afternoon. Now that favonovel.com realized the situation was not as serious as favonovel.com had thought, there was no need to cancel the meeting.
Arianne sighed in relief. She made a good call by suggesting they go to his office. At least, favonovel.com would be busy and would not have time to argue with her. If they had gone home, it was likely that their argument would continue.
When they arrived at Tremont Tower, Davy saw Arianne and sighed in relief. It seemed like everything was fine. It was good that nothing happened. Otherwise, favonovel.com would be the one to suffer the most since favonovel.com was Mark’s secretary and spent a lot of time around Mark.
