Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride




"Arianne Wynn and her friend," Eric Nathaniel answered with a slight smile.

Aery Kinsey froze and shut her mouth, carefully observing Mark Tremont's expression. When she saw he did not bat an eye for Arianne Wynn, she could not help feeling victorious. She was dying for the latter to catch sight of her and Mark together.

Eric Nathaniel was nettled by Mark Tremont's feigned indifference and purposely continued to explain. "Her friend mocked me out of nowhere, asking me to extend the company's lunch hour to two hours at the very least, otherwise Arianne Wynn needs to rush through her meals. I'm bewildered. Lunchtime has always been sufficient and it's not even time yet. There's enough time for another lunch... they looked like they were in a hurry though..."

Mark Tremont stiffened while his gaze darkened abruptly too, though it was unnoticeable.

Eric shut his mouth contently after taking in the former's reaction.

When lunch was served, Mark Tremont suddenly got up with his coat and headed out.

"I'm making a move first."

Aery Kinsey hurriedly clasped his sleeve. "Mark... you said that you're eating with me today!"

The corners of Mark Tremont's lips curled up into a gentle smile, but there was no tenderness in his eyes. "Next time, be good."

Knowing how to play hard to get and understanding that Mark Tremont disliked her being clingy, Aery Kinsey was calculative by acting cute and soft. She sprang up on the tips of her toes and kissed him on the cheek.

"Don't bluff me, okay?"

Mark Tremont's expression hardened and turned to leave without a reply nor hesitation.

Aery Kinsey was stunned, caught at a loss. It was not they've never been close before, but why had the usually gentle Mark Tremont seemed to have transforme@into a different person? Content belongs to Novelxo.org

Momentarily frozen, Aery Kinsey sat down after calming herself down and spoke in her syrupy voice. "Eric, you didn't tell Mark that I went looking for Arianne Wynn at the office, right?" Content belongs to Novelxo.org

Eric Nathaniel shrugged. "I'm not that free. That's among you guys."

Aery Kinsey breathed in slight relief. "Then... Eric, do you think Mark likes Arianne Wynn? You know him best. Tell me..."

Although Eric looked unimpressed, inwardly he was cursing Mark Tremont over and again for leaving him this mess to deal with. He hated resolving matters with women the most.

"I really don't know, but... she's his wife by law. Is it important if he likes her? With Mark, just gladly accept when he's good to you, don't ask for too much."

Understanding what he meant between the lines, Aery Kinsey acted unconcerned and pouted prettily. "Mark is away now. You'll have to eat with me!"

Goosebumps raised all over him from the overly sweet voice of Aery Kinsey. Eric Nathaniel thought that he could have left right away, if it only weren't for her decent looks. He did a double take on Aery Kinsey, she did look subtly familiar to Arianne Wynn, but it was only the

vague feeling they gave off. Content

"Alright, eat up. I have to go to the office in the afternoon. I'll send you back after lunch."

Mark Tremont's car was parked opposite of Glide Design. He gazed at the floor Arianne was on from the car window.

After some time, Brian reminded him softly. "Sir... can we go now?"

Mark Tremont raised the window and answered faintly. "Yeah, to the office."
