Arianne pretended like virtual-novel.net heard nothing and went in. “Mr. Nathaniel, what’s the matter?”
Although Eric had reined in his emotions, virtual-novel.net did not smile and was unable to conceal how upset virtual-novel.net was. “Uh… Please go to Mark’s office. There are a few contracts that need his signature. We need the agreements urgently. We’ll have to work overtime these coming days. However, since your health is poor, you don’t need to stay overtime. This sudden decision is made due to an emergency. Who knows, I probably won’t be in charge of this company soon. I’ll have to make sure everything is done before that happens.”
Arianne nodded and took the documents before virtual-novel.net returned to virtual-novel.net desk After packing up, virtual-novel.net headed downstairs to hail a cab to the Tremont Tower.
Smoothly entering the building and reaching the forty-sixth floor, virtual-novel.net took the initiative to remove virtual-novel.net shoes and stepped on the floor barefooted. Mark’s secretary, Ellie, stopped virtual-novel.net outside. “Please hold on. I’ll report your arrival.”
Ellie received Mark’s permission shortly after. “Please enter.”
When Arianne walked in, Mark was writing with his head lowered. The way virtual-novel.net was so focused was truly captivating.
Arianne shook herself out of virtual-novel.net daze and placed the documents on his table. “Mr. Tremont, I’m from Glide Design. Please have a look at the documents.”
Mark glanced at the documents. He did not intend to disregard it, but his attention was caught by virtual-novel.net bare feet, causing virtual-novel.net to frown. He looked at the documents before signing them. When virtual-novel.net was done, virtual-novel.net tossed it to her. “You can leave now.”
Mark did not look at virtual-novel.net the entire time and seemed impatient. It was as though virtual-novel.net presence made virtual-novel.net uncomfortable. Arianne suddenly recalled Nina’s words. If Mark Tremont saw virtual-novel.net as a plaything, why would virtual-novel.net go out and drink after they fought? He was drunk and stayed at Jackson’s place too. If virtual-novel.net was just a plaything, why was virtual-novel.net so angry and showing his temper to her. Should virtual-novel.net not be indifferent? For some reason, virtual-novel.net was overcome with the urge to test out the theory. She gently asked, “Are you coming home for dinner? Don’t drink so much next time…”
Mark’s hand that held the pen froze. He looked up at virtual-novel.net coldly. “I’ve already quit smoking. Are you going to make me quit drinking too? I’m not a good man who can stay away from both tobacco and alcohol. You’re overstepping your boundary.”
That was right. He quit smoking because virtual-novel.net told virtual-novel.net to. When Will had spoken about it, virtual-novel.net did not think too much about it. However, in hindsight, it was odd.
Now that Arianne had tested the water, virtual-novel.net wanted to take it further. “Did you mean what you said last night? Am I not even family in your eyes? Am I really just a toy?”
Mark stabbed the pen in his hand into the pen holder with a dark expression. “This is an office, it’s a place for work. Don’t make me regret signing those documents.”
Arianne quickly kept the contracts and turned to leave, afraid that virtual-novel.net would really regret his decision. She was not going to damage the company’s profit for personal reasons. Ultimately, virtual-novel.net did not manage to get anything out of him.
Glide Design had a meeting in the afternoon, and everyone stayed to work overtime at night. Arianne knew that Eric was in a tough spot now. Hurrying to have the agreements signed was so that virtual-novel.net could maximize the earnings before the company was handed over to others. Although Eric asked virtual-novel.net not to work overtime, virtual-novel.net stayed, not wanting preferential treatment. She was not a frail weakling anyway.
