Arianne pretended like she heard nothing and went in. “Mr. Nathaniel, what’s the matter?”
Although Eric had reined in his emotions, he did not smile and was unable to conceal how upset he was. “Uh… Please go to Mark’s office. There are a few contracts that need his signature. We need the agreements urgently. We’ll have to work overtime these coming days. However, since your health is poor, you don’t need to stay overtime. This sudden decision is made due to an emergency. Who knows, I probably won’t be in charge of this company soon. I’ll have to make sure everything is done before that happens.”
Arianne nodded and took the documents before she returned to her desk. After packing up, she headed downstairs to hail a cab to the Tremont Tower.
Smoothly entering the building and reaching the forty-sixth floor, she took the initiative to remove her shoes and stepped on the floor barefooted. Mark’s secretary, Ellie, stopped her outside. “Please hold on. I’ll report your arrival.”
Ellie received Mark’s permission shortly after. “Please enter.”
When Arianne walked in, Mark was writing with his head lowered. The way he was so focused was truly captivating.
Arianne shook herself out of her daze and placed the documents on his table. “Mr. Tremont, I’m from Glide Design. Please have a look at the documents.”
Mark stabbed the pen in his hand into the pen holder with a dark expression. “This is an office, it’s a place for work. Don’t make me regret signing those documents.”
Arianne quickly kept the contracts and turned to leave, afraid that he would really regret his decision. She was not going to damage the company’s profit for personal reasons. Ultimately, she did not manage to get anything out of him.
Glide Design had a meeting in the afternoon, and everyone stayed to work overtime at night. Arianne knew that Eric was in a tough spot now. Hurrying to have the agreements signed was so that he could maximize the earnings before the company was handed over to others. Although Eric asked her not to work overtime, she stayed, not wanting preferential treatment. She was not a frail weakling anyway.
