A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 30

“No, I’ll leave immediately.” Arianne answered shortly.

Just as she turned around, a pen flew past her ear and smashed against the office door. Ink leaked from the crack of the pen and stained the floor.

Throwing things meant that Mark Tremont was furious. Arianne dared not move, although she was slightly shaken. She wanted to restrain her fear toward him but she was unable to…

“Come here!” Mark Tremont’s voice was laced with anger. To Arianne, it was the forewarning of a life threatening situation.

Her hesitation lasted for only two seconds before she turned to go toward him with her hands clutching the hem of her clothes and looked cautiously at him.

Mark Tremont tugged her close to him and wrapped his arm tight around her waist to prevent her from moving. His voice was piercing and icy cold. “What did you call me? Does making such a clear distinction mean that you’re changing how you address me at home?”

Once he was reminded that she would rather stand for more than two hours outside of his office than come to see him, his wrath flared.

Arianne finally understood why he was angry.

“I… I’m worried that you think that I can’t separate work from personal matters.”

Mark Tremont perched his chin on her shoulder, his enchanting voice filling her ears.

“Yeah? Did you stand outside for two hours for the same reason?”

Exposed, Arianne’s conscience was guilty.

“I… No… I was afraid that you were busy. I didn’t want to disturb you…”

“Don’t you know if I’m busy or not?” he hinted. It was obvious he knew she had encountered the woman before who came to visit.
