A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 38

There was no time for Arianne Wynn to scrutinize where she had heard this voice from. Thus, it was to her surprise when she stepped into the office and saw Eric Nathaniel.

“You…”

Eric Nathaniel flashed her a small smile. “Yes, I’m your boss now. However, don’t think that I’ll help you under the table. I don’t play favoritism. Have a seat first. I have something to tell Mr. Donn.”

Simon Donn was surprised that Eric Nathaniel actually knew Arianne Wynn and involuntarily felt apprehensive, quickly stepping up with a smile. “Mr. Nathaniel, what can I be in favor of you?”

Eric looked amiable and welcoming, yet he wore a ghostly smile at the corner of his lips. In addition, he flaunted his gorgeous looks. Even Simon Donn, who was also a man, found him captivating. However, when the former spoke, his words were the least bit welcoming.

“Claim your remuneration at HR and leave.”

The grin on Simon Donn’s face froze. “Wha – what? Why? Have I performed poorly?”

Eric Nathaniel raised an arched brow when he answered, “No, I just don’t like you.”

Simon Donn blenched. He had thought that the new boss must have a good temper since he was so smiley, not expecting him to land a harsh strike as soon as he stepped into position.

Before Simon Donn left, his glare daggered at Arianne Wynn.

Arianne shrugged helplessly. This had nothing to do with her.

After Simon Donn left, Eric Nathaniel spoke to her, “You don’t have to work for the rest of the day. Go back and have some rest, you must be exhausted taking care of Mark last night. Don’t mistake this as favoritism. If you’re not in the right state of mind, you won’t have the efficiency. Come back after you get a good rest.”

Arianne Wynn wanted to say that Mark Tremont had been the least of effort to take care of yesterday, but she was indeed beaten to exhaustion. So she replied gratefully, “Alright then, thank you.”

Returning to the Tremont Estate, Arianne saw the familiar lean figure seated on the couch once she entered the hall and was slightly surprised. Mark Tremont, who was always a workaholic, was not yet in his office.

There were two seconds of hesitation on whether she wanted to greet him before Arianne headed upstairs without a sound.
