Chapter 40
Arianne Wynn stood up with an icy expression. "What did you say?"
Aery Kinsey was still yelling with her shrill voice, "Am I wrong? The whole city knows about your scandal with the Sivan's third son, Will Sivan, three years ago. How do you have the face to stay around Mark? If I were you, I'd have killed myself a long time ago! I was still wondering who it was that had come in between me and my dearest Mark, only to find out that it was you! Disgusting!"
The watching crowd broke out with whispers when the incident three years ago was mentioned.
"It was her, huh... that's why I thought she looked familiar. I didn't expect a quiet person like her to turn out to be someone like this. You really can't judge a book by its cover... She was nonchalant when Simon was courting her earlier, they were probably onto it behind our backs huh? Yet she's acting like she's all high and mighty."
"Exactly. Mr. Nathaniel sacks Simon right away. Maybe she's with Mr. Nathaniel now. Tsch, tsch, being young and pretty is all you need these days. Too bad she's a loose woman..."
Hearing the gossip, Arianne's tolerance had reached its limit. She searched for Helen Cameran's number on her phone but Aery Kinsey flung her phone to the floor when she was about to call her.
"Calling my mom? Are you worthy of calling her? Stay away from my mom and Mark. Otherwise, I'll make your life here hell!"
"What's the ruckus about!" Eric Nathaniel heard the commotion once he arrived at the office. Everyone was gathered, disregarding the fact that they should be working. Of course Eric was upset seeing something like this happening just as he took over the company.
Noticing Eric Nathaniel was here, Aery Kinsey's tears flowed faster than a water tap. She ran to hold his arm.
"Eric! She hit me!"
When Eric saw who Aery Kinsey was pointing at, the displeasure on his face was replaced with a helpless look. If he had known that he would encounter such an event, he would not have come to the office even if it meant being beaten to death.
"Uh... Aery Kinsey, you don't have to come make a fuss at my company early in the morning, do you?"
Aery Kinsey scoffed. "Hey, I was hit!"
Arianne's shoulders sagged subconsciously. It seemed that Aery Kinsey was already familiarized with Mark Tremont's circle of friends. She knew Eric too, and both of them looked friendly...
Eric Nathaniel felt an impending headache.
"No, wait... does Mark know that you're here for Arianne?"
Aery Kinsey froze.
"He... doesn't know. Eric, don't tell him okay?

I'll leave now. I promise
a fuss here anymore I'll

Eric Nathaniel waved. "Alright, alright, off you go."
Aery Kinsey glared at Arianne. "Just you wait!"
After Aery Kinsey left, Arianne sat down keeping to herself while the others hurried back to their desks.
Eric Nathaniel wanted to say something, yet he said nothing after parting his lips. He was unable to solve such a matter.
When work was over, Arianne and Eric entered the elevator with tacit agreement.
"How long have they been together?" she asked.
"Er... you mean Mark and Aery Kinsey?" Eric Nathaniel was rather uncertain.
Arianne nodded, to which Eric answered, "I'm not sure in particular, but they had been together white overseas. Hah, you're concerned about this?" Content belongs to Swnovel.net
Shaking her head, Arianne said nothing.
When they got into the car, Eric asked, "Where are we going?"
