A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 44

“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.
