Chapter 37
Arianne Wynn was immediately awakened.
It had only been two hours since Mark Tremont left, yet he was already drunk?
"Uh... okay. Please hold on, I'm coming now!" As she spoke, she was already off the bed and putting on clothes.
When she arrived at the bar with Butler Henry, Eric Nathaniel and Jackson West were just coming out as they propped Mark Tremont up. Arianne pulled on her coat and approached them.
"Sorry for the trouble."
Eric smiled. "No problem, we've known each other for more than ten years now. You... work at Glide Design... right?"
Arianne did not know why Eric Nathaniel had suddenly asked her this but she nodded.
"Yes."
To which, Eric said nothing else and helped her get Mark Tremont into the car.
On their way back, Butler Henry reminded Arianne, "Madam, watch if sir wants to throw up since he's drunk so much. If he does throw up in the car, he most likely won't want this car anymore."
Arianne hummed her agreement, knowing that Butler Henry was right. Mark Tremont would really do something like that.
He was thoroughly inebriated this time, not waking up even when they had gotten home. Laying him onto the bed, Arianne also plopped herself down in much fatigue.
When Arianne woke up from the alarm the next morning, her first reaction was to turn it off lest it woke Mark Tremont up.
Once she moved, however, she realized that she was trapped in his hug.
The alarm was still blaring.
Arianne carefully twisted around to break free of Mark Tremont's embrace. Then suddenly an arm brushed past her face to switch the alarm off, before it swiftly returned to holding her.
With a nervous jolt, Arianne thought to herself that perhaps he was already awake.
When he made no movement again for some time, Arianne moved once more. Mark Tremont suddenly spoke, "Don't move..."
Frozen, Arianne stuttered, "I... I'm going to be late for work..."
Perhaps he was not yet awake, he snuggled at her neck before flopping over and continued sleeping.
Arianne's hand flew to her neck in shock, her palm felt his lingering warmth. Was this tame big cat really Mark Tremont?!
Wearing dark eye circles to the
office, Arianne looked rather haggard. Having worked overtime, she had inadequate rest, furthermore, last night's events added to her sleep deprivation. Content belongs to Novelxo.org
Since there were no assignments to complete this morning, she bent over on her table to sneak in a nap.
Blearily, someone knocked on her desk. Looking up, Simon Donn's repulsive face came into view.
"The new boss is coming today. Go home and sleep if you want! Don't affect the others in the company!"
Arianne forced herself to straighten up and looked a little brighter, despite her eyelids feeling like they weighed a ton.
Glide Design was acquired, that much she knew. She was only an employee, so she did not care for who the new boss was.
Thinking that the new boss would
make an extravagant appearance, nothing occurred the whole
morning. When lunchtime was
approaching, Simon came knocking at her desk again. Content belongs to Novelxo.org
"Mr. Nathaniel is looking for you."

Picking herself up to go to the CEO office, Arianne realized that Simon was behind her too. She felt overflowing with aversion when she saw his toadying look. Content

Simon Donn knocked on the door before her and a voice that sounded familiar
came from the room.
"Come in."
