A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 33

Waking up the next day, Arianne Wynn went straight to the office without having breakfast. A huge stack of documents had appeared mysteriously on her desk, causing Arianne to frown.

“Whose are these?”

Someone spoke in a whisper from the side, “Mr. Donn assigned them to you. Have you offended him? He’s tossed almost everything in the department to you. You most probably have to work overtime today…”

Arianne said nothing, having already guessed this was his spiteful revenge for yesterday's rejection and embarrassment, and sat down to work accordingly.

She received a text message during lunch that read, “I’m Aery Kinsey’s mother. Let’s meet. I’ll wait for you at Mocha café.”

Rummaging through her memory, Arianne did not remember the name Aery Kinsey, so she replied, “I don’t know an Aery Kinsey.”

She received another text briefly. “It suffices that I know you. See you there.”

For no particular reason, the face of the woman whom Mark Tremont brought along to the airport popped out in Arianne’s mind suddenly. It was as if this force enticed her curiosity.

When lunchtime arrived, Arianne left the office to the café called Mocha. Its patrons were a middle to high class crowd, so the ambiance was quiet.

Entering the door, she received another text. “I’m at table no.4 by the window.”

Arianne looked over to see a middle-aged woman in an elegant black fur coat seated there. She was unable to make out her face since the woman’s head was dipped to look at her phone.

“Aery Kinsey’s mother?” Arianne went over and sat down.

When the woman looked up, Arianne was flummoxed, feeling like her blood ran cold that split second…

“Yes. I’m Helen Cameran. How do I address you?” The woman wore a pretty smile that belonged to the mannerism of an affluent mistress.
