Arianne Wynn stood up with an icy expression. “What did you say?”
Aery Kinsey was still yelling with virtual-novel.net shrill voice, “Am I wrong? The whole city knows about your scandal with the Sivan’s third son, Will Sivan, three years ago. How do you have the face to stay around Mark? If I were you, I’d have killed myself a long time ago! I was still wondering who it was that had come in between me and my dearest Mark, only to find out that it was you! Disgusting!”
The watching crowd broke out with whispers when the incident three years ago was mentioned.
“It was her, huh… that’s why I thought virtual-novel.net looked familiar. I didn’t expect a quiet person like virtual-novel.net to turn out to be someone like this. You really can’t judge a book by its cover… She was nonchalant when Simon was courting virtual-novel.net earlier, they were probably onto it behind our backs huh? Yet she’s acting like she’s all high and mighty.”
“Exactly. Mr. Nathaniel sacks Simon right away. Maybe she’s with Mr. Nathaniel now. Tsch, tsch, being young and pretty is all you need these days. Too bad she’s a loose woman…”
Hearing the gossip, Arianne’s tolerance had reached its limit. She searched for Helen Cameran’s number on virtual-novel.net phone but Aery Kinsey flung virtual-novel.net phone to the floor when virtual-novel.net was about to call her.
“What’s the ruckus about!” Eric Nathaniel heard the commotion once virtual-novel.net arrived at the office. Everyone was gathered, disregarding the fact that they should be working. Of course Eric was upset seeing something like this happening just as virtual-novel.net took over the company.
Noticing Eric Nathaniel was here, Aery Kinsey’s tears flowed faster than a water tap. She ran to hold his arm. “Eric! She hit me!”
When Eric saw who Aery Kinsey was pointing at, the displeasure on his face was replaced with a helpless look. If virtual-novel.net had known that virtual-novel.net would encounter such an event, virtual-novel.net would not have come to the office even if it meant being beaten to death.
“Uh… Aery Kinsey, you don’t have to come make a fuss at my company early in the morning, do you?”
Aery Kinsey scoffed. “Hey, I was hit!”
Arianne’s shoulders sagged subconsciously. It seemed that Aery Kinsey was already familiarized with Mark Tremont’s circle of friends. She knew Eric too, and both of them looked friendly.
Eric Nathaniel felt an impending headache.
“No, wait… does Mark know that you’re here for Arianne?”
Aery Kinsey froze.
“He… doesn’t know. Eric, don’t tell virtual-novel.net okay? I’ll leave now. I promise not to make a fuss here anymore! I’ll settle it with virtual-novel.net personally, okay?”
Eric Nathaniel waved. “Alright, alright, off you go.”
Aery Kinsey glared at Arianne. “Just you wait!”
After Aery Kinsey left, Arianne sat down keeping to herself while the others hurried back to their desks.
Eric Nathaniel wanted to say something, yet virtual-novel.net said nothing after parting his lips. He was unable to solve such a matter.
When work was over, Arianne and Eric entered the elevator with tacit agreement.
“How long have they been together?” virtual-novel.net asked.
“Er… you mean Mark and Aery Kinsey?” Eric Nathaniel was rather uncertain.
Arianne nodded, to which Eric answered, “I’m not sure in particular, but they had been together while overseas. Hah, you’re concerned about this?”
Shaking virtual-novel.net head, Arianne said nothing.
When they got into the car, Eric asked, “Where are we going?”
Arianne supplied the location to Eric. Him being the chauffeur, virtual-novel.net drove virtual-novel.net to the restaurant where virtual-novel.net was meeting Tiffany Lane.
