Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 235

After everyone else left, Will walked toward the lounge. “Ari.”

Arianne stood up and smiled at him. “What a coincidence, I didn’t know you were coming to the meeting too. I came with Mark here to relieve my boredom… How’s your leg?”

Will didn’t point out her anxiety but smiled warmly. “It's fine now. It just feels a bit funny when I walk, but it will get better in time. I see that Mark treats you well. I just hope he wasn’t putting on an act for others.”

Arianne didn’t carry on the conversation and instead changed the topic. “Um… Would you like to drink something? I can make coffee.”

Will pondered for a moment then said, “Sure, sorry for the trouble.”

Arianne smiled at him then went into Mark’s office to make two cups of coffee since his office had more stuff than in the pantry. Two minutes after she came back to the lounge with coffee, the conference room’s door opened and Mark came out. “Ari, what are you doing?”

Arianne tried her best to speak calmly. “Just chatting with Will. Aren’t you still in the middle of a meeting? What are you doing out here?”

“Toilet break.” Mark swept his glance over the both of them then went off to the washroom at the end of the corridor as if nothing had happened.

Will picked up the coffee and took a sip. “He came out to see if both of us are doing something behind his back. Since he’s that worried about us meeting, why create the opportunity? What a hypocrite.”

“Are you expressing your dissatisfaction with me?” He turned his face to look at her, but Arianne couldn’t tell the emotions in his eyes.

“Yes.” She stood on her toes slightly, in case she couldn’t get her point across to him. Even so, she was still a lot shorter than him. She had realized this since the first time both of them stood together. Back then, she was only an eight-year-old little girl and he had just turned into an adult. His bones had fully developed and he was so tall that she could only look up at him. She thought the height difference between them would reduce when she grew up. Now she realized that no matter how much she ate, she would never be able to reach his height.

When Mark noticed that Arianne was standing on her toes, a smile crept onto his face. He had the sudden urge to tease her, so he pushed her into a corner. Placing one hand on the wall, he trapped her between his body and the wall. “There’s no use in expressing your dissatisfaction. You cannot put up any resistance against me unless you grow bigger than me one day and can crush me. But judging from the situation, I think you’ll never get the chance in this life.”

Was he mocking her? She glanced at the elevator’s display. The moment the elevator stopped on the ground floor, she stomped on his expensive leather shoe with lightning speed then took advantage of her small frame to run away from beneath his arm.
