Thinking that Nina had made this for Mark, Arianne got an inexplicable urge to clean the entire plate.
She took the first bite, reviving her taste bud. It was a little spicy...
She took the second bite and couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath. It was too spicy! She suspected that Nina was addicted to spiciness. Was this even made for humans? No wonder why it had barely been touched!
“Ari, if you are free, then go prepare a cup of tea for sir…”
Upon hearing Mary coming back, Arianne pretended that nothing had happened and slipped out of the kitchen. “Alright, alright, I’ll go do that!”
Seeing Arianne sprinting away, Mary warned her. “Slow down! What if you fall down?”
How could she dare to slow down? Her tongue was burning right now! She needed water!
When she returned to her room, the heat in her mouth only gradually receded after she drank a full glass of water and a carton of milk.
By the time she recovered, she remembered that she had to make tea for Mark. She quickly prepared a cup of black tea then sent it to the study room. The moment she pushed open the door, she saw Nina latching herself on the back of Mark’s chair. Their intimacy kind of offended her eyes.
“Mark, I don’t want to go abroad anymore. Is your company short-staffed? Would you consider offering me a position? I’m sure my dad won’t have any objections if I’m working for you.” The hair behind Mark’s head swayed under Nina’s breath as she spoke.
She blushed in her embarrassment. “Nothing, I’ll go to bed first. Move lightly when you come back to the room later. I won’t be able to fall asleep after being woken up.”
Mark nodded. He turned back to the email, then reached out for the black tea and took a sip. “A little too strong. Just let Mary prepare it for me next time,” he commented.
Arianne didn’t respond to him. She secretly rolled her eyes at him then turned around to leave. Mark should be grateful for the tea. How dare he pick fault with it!
By the time Arianne returned to the bedroom, she realized that her heart was beating unusually fast. Why had her reaction been so strange in the study room? She never cared before about how many women Mark had around him. Was it because… she was traumatized by Aery?
Some things would turn into sharp knives if she didn’t fight them. So… this was the only thing she could do, right? Before Mark agreed to a divorce, she could only defend herself against any women around him who posed a threat to her.
