Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 163

Eric, who was about to leave the company, burst out into laughter when he heard what Arianne said. He called Mark as soon as he stepped out of the elevator and repeated what she said without missing a beat.

Mark looked impossibly brooding on the other end of the line. “Laugh all you want, Eric. I’ll make laughing impossible for you later. Do you still want that contract signed?”

Eric forced himself to stifle his laughter. “Cough, cough… Uh, it has nothing to do with me. I just heard her in the passing. Haven’t I been kind enough to tell you?”

The corners of Mark’s lips curled up thoughtfully. “Eric, ask Arianne to sign the contract with me. Otherwise, I won’t be attending the appointment. I won’t meet anyone from your company either, for that matter. You have an hour and a half until office hours end to decide.”

All traces of humor left Eric. “Big bro, don’t do this to me. What can I possibly do to Arianne if she refuses to go? Fire her? She’s your wife, what can I do? Besides, she said that she’s bored of eating with you and she doesn’t covet the little commission from the contract signing. Do you know what this means? She despises you!”

Mark scoffed lightly. “I said what I said. That’s all. I’m hanging up now.”

Being hung up on, Eric gritted his teeth and made a U-turn as he called Lily Pierre and the second person, who were already on their way to the Tremont’s, to come back.

Returning to the office, he went to Arianne directly. “My fair lady, there’s an emergency. Go get the contract signed. Mark asked for you. Even if I’m bros with him, he always plays fair. He won’t have the back door open just because it’s me. As an employee of this office, can you put aside your personal grudge and consider things for the company? Just once?”

“I’m not going,” Arianne said faintly.
