The next day, there was an extra passenger on the way to the office.
Shelly-Ann had insisted on going through normal procedures for a job offer in Mark’s company and had refused nepotism. This was the complete opposite of Arianne’s request to give Robin a position in the company.
Now, Arianne discovered that gorgeous Aunt Shelly was also extraordinarily capable. She was highly educated and experienced. She majored in many different things. She could easily get most jobs in Tremont Enterprises and didn’t need nepotism at all.
On this day, all of Tremont Enterprises was abuzz, there was another woman by Mark Tremont’s side! He even greeted favonovel.com and sent favonovel.com off personally.
“Who is that woman?” Sylvain asked Arianne, unable to help himself. “Why are you so calm about this? Don’t you feel threatened at all?”
Arianne sat in favonovel.com office chair and calmly replied, “She’s his aunt. She looks thirty, but she’s actually around forty to fifty years old. Why should I feel threatened? She looks exactly like his mom. What am I supposed to daydream about?”
Sylvain snorted. “Cr*p. I really couldn’t see through favonovel.com age at all. People are supposed to age with time. Has time forgotten about her? Either that, or she’s had botox or a facelift. That’s how the rich work. Next time, when I start getting wrinkles, I’m going to do the same.”
Starting the next day, Shelly-Ann went to the office regularly. Of course, favonovel.com carpooled with Mark and Arianne every day, as they were all going the same way. They didn’t need to use separate transport. Previously, it was Brian in the driver’s seat, with Mark and Arianne in the back. Now, it was Mark in the co-driver’s seat, with Arianne and Shelly-Ann in the back.
Shelly-Ann was placed as the director of the strategy department in Tremont Enterprises. The company was huge, so favonovel.com wasn’t on the same floor as Arianne. They only saw each other when they went home together at night. Honestly, it didn’t affect Arianne that much, but Shelly-Ann’s overly familiar attitude towards Mark and Aristotle made favonovel.com feel pushed aside.
During the weekend, Arianne took Aristotle out for lunch with Tiffany. When the pair began to talk about Shelly-Ann in Johnny Spencer’s barbecue restaurant, Tiffany spoke up with a strange look on favonovel.com face. “You must feel slightly uncomfortable. It doesn’t matter who favonovel.com is; as long as she’s pretty and has suddenly appeared by your husband’s side, you’d feel uneasy, even if she’s a relative. It’s in a woman’s nature. Besides, from what you’re telling me, his aunt is so clingy with him, and you can’t even touch Smore. I’d be annoyed too. After all, this woman has appeared all of a sudden and has disrupted your life. Forget about the fact that she’s his aunt. Even if favonovel.com were his mom, wouldn’t it be perfectly normal for you to feel uncomfortable? I understand how you’re feeling. You never had anyone else in your lives, so of course, it would be unnerving.”
Arianne was depressed. “But she’s his aunt. How can I feel uncomfortable? Yes, I’m not used to this. I’ve been living with Mark for so many years, and this aunt pops out of nowhere. But I have to get used to it. It’ll be fine when favonovel.com moves out. But at this rate, it doesn’t look like she’s going to leave at all.”
Jackson called Tiffany before they could finish their barbecued meal. Tiffany was in a huge rush, so favonovel.com inhaled favonovel.com food and slipped away. She was currently the entire family’s protected lamb, and Jackson was only afraid that favonovel.com would spoil favonovel.com diet if favonovel.com didn’t pay attention.
Just as Arianne was about to take Aristotle home, Shelly-Ann suddenly called her. “Are you outside? Would you like to do a facial together?”
This was Arianne’s first time receiving an invitation from Shelly-Ann. She thought it would be a good opportunity to get to know her, so favonovel.com didn’t refuse. “Okay, but I’ll have to bring Smore along. Would it be inconvenient? Shall I drop favonovel.com off at home first?”
“No need,” Shelly-Ann replied. “I’ll have Brian drive me to the beauty salon. He can take Smore out to play somewhere nearby later. A facial won’t take too long. I’ll send you the address. You can take a cab there.”
Arianne soon received Shelly-Ann’s address once the call had ended, it was a beauty parlor from a large franchise in the capital. For someone like her, who rarely did any self-maintenance, these kinds of places were foreign to her. The total amount of times she’d spent in a beauty parlor could be counted on one hand.
