A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 60

Lily nodded slightly. “I’ll take my leave now, if there’s nothing else.”

As soon as she returned to the office, everyone in the department of design flocked to her. “How did it go, Miss Pierre? Did he approve it?”

Lily went straight into the CEO’s office and only spoke when she saw Eric. “It has been approved, Mr. Nathaniel.”

Eric didn’t seem surprised at all. “Okay, get the janitor to clean up the office. You may all get off work early today.”

The entire department of design cheered as soon as the news got out. Everyone except for Arianne, who was still seated at her desk.

She quietly packed up her things and went to the bathroom. In front of the mirror, she reapplied her lipstick to cover up her pale lips. She didn’t want Mark to be upset when he saw her at home.

All of a sudden, she heard someone speaking inside one of the toilet cubicles. “I think Arianne is the one who forced Mark Tremont to make their marriage public. He's always kept their relationship under wraps and even rejected the sketches when she went over to submit them. I honestly suspect there weren’t any issues with the sketches to begin with and it was Arianne who botched things up. Otherwise, why would everything go smoothly when Miss Lily went over to submit them this time? I really wonder what kind of tricks she pulled to climb into Mark’s bed…”

“I’m curious too! I was really shocked to learn about her relationship with him. After doing some research on the net, I’m not surprised anymore. He took her in and they shared the same roof for so many years. Lucky women like her just have everything handed to them, don't they? She can just force her way through by using any trick. A nice guy like Mark would definitely give in. She even had a one-night stand with Mr. Sivan’s third son. It’ll be a wonder if Mark is even kind to her. She deserves that kind of treatment!” the other person said.

“I know, right? How can someone like that even marry Mark?! It’s so unfair!”

“Yeah! Well, the higher she climbs, the harder she will fall. Let’s just wait for it. Things won’t go well for people like her! We almost went crazy from all the overtimes. If it wasn’t for the break, I’d have taught her a lesson! Turns out that she’s just a slut despite looking reserved.”

Arianne, having no desire to find out whose conversation she was listening in on, immediately left the bathroom before the two could come out.
