A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1151

She did not hold back with her words, as if conveying that Arianne had no merits apart from her beautiful looks. Arianne resented her mentally but still put a smile on her face as she said to her, “It’s up to us whether we find each other suitable or not. It isn’t as shallow as judging based on appearances, but rather, whether both parties like each other, isn’t that right? So Jessica, when will we talk about the dress?"

Jessica looked at her in silence before saying, “Mrs. Tremont, I will acknowledge that your designs have managed to be published in fashion magazines and you are quite experienced in the field. However, it isn’t up to my standards. Each and every one of my personal designers are even more renown than you are. We’ll put an end to this discussion here today. Until next time.”

Arianne had the urge to curse at the woman, but she held herself back as she thought of Mr. Yaleman’s incessant ranting. She was afraid that she would ruin Mark’s business since Jessica was one of Mark’s business partners. She had to endure as best as she could.

Mr. Yaleman was disappointed when he heard that the business proposal had been rejected, but he did not comment about it. He had already anticipated that it would be difficult to secure such a big business when he took into account the level of standard his company had.

On the other hand, Mark had received news about Jessica’s earlier than originally scheduled arrival at the capital and was a little frustrated. He had a feeling that something was amiss when she did not go to meet him the moment she arrived. It was possible that her objective was to discuss business matters with him. In any case, he had to fulfill the role of a host and organize her stay for her to the best of his abilities. However, it wasn’t all too bad for him. This way, he could resolve the misunderstanding about the present sooner.
