She took off virtual-novel.net jacket and washed virtual-novel.net hands before going back to the bedroom. She even sniffed herself to check if there was any leftover stench on her, afraid that virtual-novel.net would hate virtual-novel.net for it.
Her carefulness had been established since virtual-novel.net was eight years old.
The faint smell of tobacco greeted virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net opened the door. “What is it? ” virtual-novel.net asked with a frown.
Mark was standing in front of the French windows, looking out at the snow. His light grey tailored suit set off his tall, straight figure very well. Even his back seemed attractive. “My company will be organizing a fashion show at six tonight. Your designs will be there. You can go if you like.”
Her designs? The only decent work she’s done were the wedding dress designs that virtual-novel.net had criticized, right? Finished products were certainly released very quickly. “I’m going,” Arianne replied gleefully.
He didn’t have much to say. He lifted his hand, put it to his lips and coughed twice. “Are you still sick?” virtual-novel.net asked after a pause. “Remember to take your medicine.”
Mark turned around and looked at her, his eyes holding a hint of mockery. “Don’t think that you can act that way just because I’ve slept with you. It was only once. No one can be certain if you’re actually pregnant.”
Arianne’s gaze flashed with hurt. However, virtual-novel.net replied, “Even if I am pregnant, no one knows that you want the baby. You and I have both been consuming a lot of flu pills lately. That could easily deform the baby.”
The mockery in his eyes deepened. “Looks like for the sake of pregnancy, you’ve done your homework.”
She didn’t explain, nor did virtual-novel.net want to. She looked at the time and said, “I’m going to get ready. I shouldn’t be late.”
Arianne heaved a sigh of relief when virtual-novel.net turned around. She couldn’t explain it, but virtual-novel.net was getting increasingly afraid of the look in his eyes when virtual-novel.net stared at her, regardless of whether virtual-novel.net was mocking virtual-novel.net or being apathetic.
She stood in front of virtual-novel.net one hour later. “Are we ready to go now?”
Mark gave virtual-novel.net a once-over and showed no signs of criticism. Her style was never extravagant. She wore a light blue, tight-fitting pair of jeans that hugged virtual-novel.net long, slender legs, paired with a cream-colored high neck sweater, a coat, and cream-colored boots. She let down virtual-novel.net long, waist length hair, and virtual-novel.net light makeup gave virtual-novel.net already breathtaking features an extra sparkle.
Her cherry-colored lip gloss made virtual-novel.net lips all the more enticing, and virtual-novel.net overall look was simple but radiant She looked like a naive young girl. However, that’s exactly what virtual-novel.net was.
The pair did not interact at all in the car. When they arrived at the fashion show venue, Mark made long strides with his long legs, and virtual-novel.net had to jog in order to keep up with him. By the time virtual-novel.net found a seat, Arianne was gasping for air. Her pretty, plump, and tender lips drew a sidelong glance from him. When his gaze began to darken, Aery’s voice suddenly called out to him, “Mark, darling! You agreed that I could sit next to you…”
He turned away. “Arianne, sit at the back,” virtual-novel.net said with a grim voice.
Arianne’s breathing stagnated. She lowered virtual-novel.net eyelids, refusing to look at Aery. She then got up, searched for the furthest seat away, and sat down. It was the type of seat that completely blocked virtual-novel.net view of them, even if virtual-novel.net were to accidentally look at them from the corner of virtual-novel.net eye. She just wanted to focus completely on the fashion show now.
Aery was dressed in a black leather skirt with garters. She had a short light grey fur coat and black thigh high boots. This ensemble showed off virtual-novel.net sublime figure in great detail. Her makeup was a stark contrast to Arianne’s simple elegance. She nuzzled into Mark’s shoulder like a cat and purred, “You’re so wonderful, Mark. Aren’t you afraid of Arianne’s wrath?”
Mark frowned and gently pushed virtual-novel.net head away with his slender fingers. “Watch yourself.”
Aery stuck out virtual-novel.net pink tongue. “I know. If someone took a picture… You’re scared of compromising your reputation. I can understand that…”
About fifteen minutes later, the fashion show began.
The first showcase was a trendy spring wear lineup. The models’ tall, slim bodies showed off the unique features of the lineup perfectly. Arianne was considered to be a professional, so virtual-novel.net could tell that the quality of today’s fashion show was much higher. After all, this was a fashion show by Mark Tremont’s company. This standard was no surprise.
When Mark turned around to look at her, his gaze darkened and virtual-novel.net felt mildly annoyed. She was actually paying full attention to the fashion show…
