A Ruling Passion – Chapter 0218

Arianne called home and informed Mary that she would not come home for dinner since she was working overtime.

Mary nagged at her, worried that her body could not endure hard work, but she did not say anything else.

When Eric exited his office to make himself a cup of tea around eight at night, he was taken aback when he saw Arianne was still around. “Why haven’t you gone home?”

Arianne replied nonchalantly, “I sit here all day, it’s not like my work is physically arduous. It’s not tiring at all. I can handle this. If I feel unwell, I’ll leave early. Don’t worry about me.”

Eric was still concerned. “It’s already past eight. We’ll stay till half-past nine latest. So you can leave now. It’s fine.”
