Arianne was perplexed. The only landline phone in the entire design department was at Lily’s table, and it was normally used for work. Usually, virtual-novel.net would not be asked for work matters. She rose to virtual-novel.net feet and went over to pick up the phone.
Arianne answered the phone, “Hello? Good morning, this is Glide Design.”
“Hah, it’s me, Wendy Galena.”
Hearing the voice at the other end of the line, Arianne was even more bewildered. “Wendy? Can I help you?”
“Nothing much. I passed by your office earlier and saw Mark dropping you off at work. You were smiling really happily as though you like him. I genuinely thought you like Will. I really didn’t expect that you’re not even affected by what Mark did to the Sivans. You’re quite ruthless. Well, I guess everyone would be thrilled to become Mrs. Tremont. You must have done good in your past life for being able to cling onto someone like Mark despite your identity.”
“Is there anything else you want to say?” Arianne frowned.
Wendy chuckled dryly. “Will broke off our engagement for you, do you know that? He said there’s no space for another woman in his heart. I thought a relationship during his college years would fade with time and that he’ll learn to love me in time. However, that’s just my one-sided thoughts. I’d be lying if I say I have no enmity with you. You’re already Mrs. Tremont, but you’re still occupying Will’s heart. What I can’t tolerate is that virtual-novel.net has always loved you, but not only did you not care when virtual-novel.net was at his lowest, but you can even smile so happily. You didn’t even bother virtual-novel.net visiting when virtual-novel.net was admitted into the hospital. I really feel sorry for him?”
“Galena, I’m working. Don’t call my company for private affairs. I’m hanging up.” Arianne hung up directly and turned around to see Lily’s unhappy face.
“Don’t use work resources for private matters in the future. This is basic etiquette, do you understand?” Lily said as virtual-novel.net sat down.
Arianne felt virtual-novel.net head throbbing. “I know. I’ll be attending to my work now.” She looked calm, but it was undeniable that Wendy’s words caused a ripple in virtual-novel.net heart. Recalling what Will had told virtual-novel.net previously, virtual-novel.net could empathize with him, and virtual-novel.net had complicated mixed feelings. Perhaps, Mark had been etched so deeply in virtual-novel.net bones since virtual-novel.net was young that virtual-novel.net did not even think about freely loving someone or doing the things virtual-novel.net liked. Moreover, virtual-novel.net was inexperienced in romance. Her budding romance in college was cruelly nipped in the bud before it could bloom. The only thing virtual-novel.net got from all these was only a sense of heaviness.
When it was near lunchtime, Mary sent a nutritious meal to the office.
Arianne thought that it troubled Mary too much. “Mary, you don’t have to deliver meals to me after this. I can eat out. Besides, the office caters quite well. Eric usually eats in the company too. I’ll eat what you deliver today, but you don’t have to come tomorrow. Go home, I’ll bring the lunchbox back when I get off work.”
Mary agreed with a smile. “Sure. Look at you, embarrassed by having your lunch delivered. Are you afraid that your colleagues think that you’re like a child? Anyway, you’re always a child in my eyes.”
Arianne did not deny it. She did feel this way too.
After Mary left, Arianne focused on eating virtual-novel.net lunch, virtual-novel.net colleagues had all left, but virtual-novel.net suddenly felt someone approaching her. When virtual-novel.net looked up, virtual-novel.net saw Aery.
“Arianne, you really do have tricks up your sleeve. You actually managed to convince darling Mark to leave me.” Aery was still as arrogant as virtual-novel.net usually was.
