A Ruling Passion – Chapter 0163

Eric, who was about to leave the company, burst out into laughter when he heard what Arianne said. He called Mark as soon as he stepped out of the elevator and repeated what she said without missing a beat.

Mark looked impossibly brooding on the other end of the line. “Laugh all you want, Eric. I’ll make laughing impossible for you later. Do you still want that contract signed?”

Eric forced himself to stifle his laughter. “Cough, cough... Uh, it has nothing to do with me. I just heard her in the passing. Haven’t I been kind enough to tell you?”

The corners of Mark’s lips curled up thoughtfully. “Eric, ask Arianne to sign the contract with me. Otherwise, I won’t be attending the appointment. I won’t meet anyone from your company either, for that matter. You have an hour and a half until office hours end to decide.”

All traces of humor left Eric. “Big bro, don’t do this to me. What can I possibly do to Arianne if she refuses to go? Fire her? She’s your wife, what can I do? Besides, she said that she’s bored of eating with you and she doesn’t covet the little commission from the contract signing. Do you know what this means? She despises you!”
