Arianne’s laughter could be heard throughout the entire building till even Brian could hear it as well. He mumbled unhappily, “I’m a disgrace to mankind, not being able to marry even at the age of thirty…”
During the journey, Arianne took out a mirror from virtual-novel.net bag to tidy up virtual-novel.net makeup. She had done virtual-novel.net makeup in a hurry; since virtual-novel.net had to leave suddenly, virtual-novel.net lipstick was slightly crooked.
Just as virtual-novel.net was done tidying up, Mark reached out and turned virtual-novel.net face towards him. His fingers rubbed against virtual-novel.net lips. “I’ve told you not to use such a red shade already. I’ll throw away all those lipsticks one of these days.”
She slapped his hand away. “You’re really asking for me to hit you. I’ve just put this on! How is this red? I’ve already chosen the lightest shade they have. My lips have always been this red naturally, alright? You chauvinistic man, you’re hopeless!”
Mark saw that virtual-novel.net did not dare take out virtual-novel.net lipstick to put it on again and grinned.
After being angry for half an hour, Arianne noticed that there was still quite a distance before they arrived, so virtual-novel.net asked, “Is there no progress with Alejandro’s case? I suppose the Smiths really are being very careful.”
Mark took out a tissue and wiped off the lipstick residue on his finger. “It’s not a problem. Now that Alejandro is discharged from the hospital, we can search for another opportunity since there’s still quite some time before his leg recovers. The atmosphere in the Smith family is quite heavy at the moment. They won’t have the resources to bother Tiffany and Jackson so they’re quite safe for now. As long as Alejandro remains put, time is not an issue.”
As they arrived at Arianne’s company, Mark grabbed onto virtual-novel.net suddenly as virtual-novel.net got out of the car and kissed her. “Don’t go putting on your lipstick now.”
Arianne nervously glanced at Brian, who was sitting at the driver’s seat. She nudged Mark’s arm and scowled. “You shameless man!”
Mark smiled as virtual-novel.net saw Arianne run off, but virtual-novel.net quickly composed himself and tucked away his smile when virtual-novel.net heard Brian laughing, unable to hold it in any longer. He sat up straight and said, “What are you laughing at? Damn bachelor.”
Brian couldn’t laugh anymore, Mark’s words had still hurt virtual-novel.net personally. Could virtual-novel.net not laugh because virtual-novel.net was a bachelor? Where’s the logic in that!
At the West Group.
Jackson was busy conducting his monthly meeting. When virtual-novel.net passed through the office area with the executives, virtual-novel.net saw that Tiffany had taken off virtual-novel.net coat and was only wearing a thin sweater. He sternly pointed at Tiffany whilst virtual-novel.net was talking to the executives. His eyes shot a threatening look while virtual-novel.net was at it.
Tiffany stuck out virtual-novel.net tongue and put on virtual-novel.net coat. She felt as bloated as a penguin and felt that virtual-novel.net looked ugly no matter which angle you looked at virtual-novel.net from, especially with virtual-novel.net bloated belly. No amount of luxurious apparel could help her. She had finally gotten the chance to take off virtual-novel.net coat with the radiator on in the office, yet virtual-novel.net still had eyes on her.
Aye, who was quite close with her, had been transferred out, and now, everyone in the company knew that virtual-novel.net was Mrs. West, their boss’s wife. None of them were willing to talk to virtual-novel.net except for when giving pleasantries. Her superior had even given virtual-novel.net so few tasks that virtual-novel.net would normally sleep on the job out of boredom, which usually ended up with half a day gone. This was Jackson’s way of forcing virtual-novel.net to hurry home and rest.
Not only that, Summer would often bring food to the company for her, afraid that Jackson had not taken care of virtual-novel.net properly. Summer had no idea that Jackson had taken care of every little detail, even virtual-novel.net trips to the bathroom had a time limit since it wouldn’t be good for the baby if virtual-novel.net had stayed there for too long! He was also insistent on not letting virtual-novel.net eat what virtual-novel.net shouldn’t. All of this had made Tiffany even more eager to hurry up and release the baby from virtual-novel.net belly so that virtual-novel.net could be rid of all these annoyances.
As Jackson arrived at the boardroom, his phone rang just as virtual-novel.net sat in his chair.
He held up his phone to see who the caller was and noted that it was a text message from an unknown number. ‘I’ve decided not to work under Alejandro anymore. Can we meet up?’
