Arianne’s laughter could be heard throughout the entire building till even Brian could hear it as well. He mumbled unhappily, “I’m a disgrace to mankind, not being able to marry even at the age of thirty…”
During the journey, Arianne took out a mirror from her bag to tidy up her makeup. She had done her makeup in a hurry; since she had to leave suddenly, her lipstick was slightly crooked.
Just as she was done tidying up, Mark reached out and turned her face towards him. His fingers rubbed against her lips. “I’ve told you not to use such a red shade already. I’ll throw away all those lipsticks one of these days.”
She slapped his hand away. “You’re really asking for me to hit you. I’ve just put this on! How is this red? I’ve already chosen the lightest shade they have. My lips have always been this red naturally, alright? You chauvinistic man, you’re hopeless!”
Mark saw that she did not dare take out her lipstick to put it on again and grinned.
After being angry for half an hour, Arianne noticed that there was still quite a distance before they arrived, so she asked, “Is there no progress with Alejandro’s case? I suppose the Smiths really are being very careful.”
Mark took out a tissue and wiped off the lipstick residue on his finger. “It’s not a problem. Now that Alejandro is discharged from the hospital, we can search for another opportunity since there’s still quite some time before his leg recovers. The atmosphere in the Smith family is quite heavy at the moment. They won’t have the resources to bother Tiffany and Jackson so they’re quite safe for now. As long as Alejandro remains put, time is not an issue.”
As they arrived at Arianne’s company, Mark grabbed onto her suddenly as she got out of the car and kissed her. “Don’t go putting on your lipstick now.”
Arianne nervously glanced at Brian, who was sitting at the driver’s seat. She nudged Mark’s arm and scowled. “You shameless man!”
