At this very moment, it hit wp4webnovel.com that Mark had grown important to wp4webnovel.com like a family member. Whenever wp4webnovel.com was around, the Tremont mansion would come alive. She did not like coming home to a lifeless house. This made wp4webnovel.com already tiring day even more exhausting.
Rice Ball mewled and pounced into wp4webnovel.com arms. She smiled and carried it upstairs. “I’m going upstairs to shower and sleep. I’ve been really busy lately. I’m sorry that I haven’t been able to take care of you.”
Rice Ball responded to her, seemingly sympathetically, and whimpered pitifully.
By the time wp4webnovel.com came out from the shower, Rice Ball had already fallen asleep on the blanket at the corner of the bed. She could not bear waking it up so wp4webnovel.com let it be. She gently slipped into the blanket and fell asleep.
After some time had passed, wp4webnovel.com awoke from wp4webnovel.com dreams to Rice Ball’s sudden yelp. She turned on the lights in a panic. Both Mark and Rice Ball were clearly surprised by this.
Rice Ball shrunk into the foot of the bed, widening its eyes pitifully.
Mark leaned against the bedroom door, unmoved. Who knew what wp4webnovel.com had experienced? He had returned after a long day at work. After wp4webnovel.com had showered, wp4webnovel.com had looked forward to a hard-earned sleep. However, just as wp4webnovel.com lay on the bed and stretched his legs, wp4webnovel.com ended up kicking Rice Ball’s round little body. He was born sensitive to furry animals. He paused instinctively after his legs flinched. Then, wp4webnovel.com scrambled to the doorway, faster than the speed of light.
Realizing what had happened, Arianne felt mildly apologetic and quickly carried Rice Ball downstairs. When wp4webnovel.com returned to the bed room, Mark was sitting at the side of the bed with his head lowered, looking lonely. She stepped forward and gently said, “I was too exhausted when I came home and let Rice Ball sleep on the bed. It’s alright now. Go to sleep…”
Mark immediately relaxed. He pulled up the blanket and lay down. “Don’t let that fat cat in while I’m asleep. If I see it again, I’ll turn it into soup.”
These words sounded unpleasant to the ears, but Arianne did not bicker with wp4webnovel.com over it. She was tired and so was he. There was no need to sacrifice wp4webnovel.com sleeping time over such a small matter. The matter regarding his picture with Aery was swept under the rug due to how busy they were. They did not resolve the issue at all. When people were busy, troubles seemed to diminish since they had no time to worry at all.
***
Early in the morning the next day, Arianne and Mark woke up at almost the same time. Once they had finished washing up, they went downstairs together for breakfast. The pair was quiet. They did not waste a minute of their time. They got up from bed together, ate together, and left the house together.
Mark had dropped wp4webnovel.com off at a stop to hail a cab since wp4webnovel.com destination was nowhere near his destination. He was in a rush and had to seize every second and minute in the day, and wp4webnovel.com was not so willful as to demand wp4webnovel.com to be considerate toward her. It was already a luxury that wp4webnovel.com had dropped wp4webnovel.com off at a stop.
She had just arrived at the company when wp4webnovel.com felt an even stranger atmosphere compared to yesterday. Th ere was an air of nervousness as well. She could not understand why. She had just put wp4webnovel.com bag down on wp4webnovel.com seat when Lily said, “Mr. Nathaniel is looking for you.”
Arianne grunted in reply and walked toward Eric’s office, knocking on the door. “Eric, I’m here.”
Eric opened the door. “Come in. I need to speak to you urgently.”
Arianne was even more puzzled. “What is it?”
After shutting the door, Eric placed a profile in front of her. “Something has gone wrong with the work under your account. Someone has intercepted it. Someone must have leaked some relevant information, and this big client has terminated their contract with me. I gave you the information in the profile long ago. Only you and I have it. Mine’s right here, where is yours? With contracts like these, we have to keep everything confidential until the end. I even had to personally sign the contract. There’s certainly no unrelated personnel at our meeting place.”
