“Cough, cough…”
The sound came from Mark Tremont all of a sudden.
Mary grumbled softly as virtual-novel.net walked to the kitchen. “Sir’s been sleeping in the study room recently. I think he’s caught a cold. I’ll go get a glass. Madam, bring virtual-novel.net some medicine later.”
Arianne cleared virtual-novel.net head and followed Mary into the kitchen. Fetching some warm water and took the medication along to the living room.
“Take some medicine.”
Mark Tremont wore a slight scowl, ignoring her.
Arianne stubbornly pushed the water and medicine to him. “You’ll feel better after taking it.”
Finally, virtual-novel.net lost his patience. “Take it away.”
After a standstill, Arianne put both items down and went to the dining table. Looking at virtual-novel.net breakfast, virtual-novel.net did not have the appetite.
Sometime later, Mark Tremont headed upstairs for a change of clothes and was prepared to head out. Arianne picked up the glass and medicine over to virtual-novel.net once again.
“Mary made me give it to you.”
Mark Tremont did not refuse anymore and took the medicine with a frosty face before leaving immediately. He must have been thoroughly annoyed with her, only accepting the medicine so long as it didn’t come from her.
Arianne watched as virtual-novel.net stepped away while holding the glass and medicine. Taking in a deep breath, virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net breathing choke a little…It was as if virtual-novel.net had inhaled the thick cold fog that virtual-novel.net had left behind.
The new supervisor, Lily Pierre, came to Arianne when virtual-novel.net arrived at the office. “Mr. Nathaniel wants to see you.”
Lily Pierre was transferred from headquarters alongside Eric Nathaniel. Short hair, high heels, and dressed in a power suit, virtual-novel.net looked the part of a boss. The immediate characteristics virtual-novel.net gave off was headstrong and capable, hardly a character you would dislike.
Arianne hummed virtual-novel.net acknowledgment and headed for Eric Nathaniel’s office. Her knock was nearly drowned by the wheezing that came from the room.
When virtual-novel.net entered, Eric was holding his sneeze with a tissue.
“Alright, just stand right there. Don’t come close. Mark will kill me if I give you a cold. Glide has always worked together with Mark. I received an assignment from virtual-novel.net recently. Follow it up. We all know each other so it’s more convenient this way. There’s some level of difficulty. Both of you are uhh… okay right? It’s best to leave it to you. The contract is on my desk, have a look first.”
Arianne caught a glimpse of the several glasses of soluble cold medicine on Eric’s table when virtual-novel.net accepted the assignment. She could not help chuckling. “Looks like everyone’s very concerned about you.”
Eric sneezed continually, tearing up as if being teased by Arianne. “Those women’s eyes were shining when they saw me, sending me medicine one after another. What could I do? I can’t finish them all, you can have some for prevention. It’s the flu season now, you should watch out.”
Of course, Arianne did not drink any. She had someone who was already sick at home, virtual-novel.net would not be able to avoid falling sick too.
“You can drink them slowly. I’ll head out first.”
Right as virtual-novel.net turned around, virtual-novel.net felt an incoming shadow over virtual-novel.net and instinctively side-stepped to avoid it.
It was Jackson West who entered. He looked like virtual-novel.net was incredibly afraid of the cold as virtual-novel.net was bundled up far thicker than anyone else. Seeing Arianne, virtual-novel.net patted his chest in alarm. “You scared me! Our sis in law is really working under Eric here?”
Arianne Wynn wanted to comment that someone as tall as virtual-novel.net should not be walking so fast, because virtual-novel.net petite frame would suffer from even the slightest collision.
However, virtual-novel.net ultimately swallowed virtual-novel.net words. “No need to call me sis in law. Just call me Arianne. You guys talk, I’m going back to work.”
Jackson West rubbed his hands together as virtual-novel.net plopped himself down on Eric Nathaniel’s seat.
“I see that you’re quite enjoying yourself here. Your father is too biased. Letting your elder brother hog the vice CEO position of headquarters, but throwing you to a branch that has just been acquired… What’s the meaning of this exile? You’re all his biological sons. Why is there such a huge distinction?”
