Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 472

A senior executive rushed into the office, “Uh… Mr. Tremont, Nick’s told me about your misunderstanding. You can’t blame an ignorant man. Now that he’s aware, he’ll keep in line. Nick is a very capable member of the team. Have a look, Mr. Tremont…”

Mark sat at his office desk and calmly looked through the company report. His previous cold exterior had completely disappeared. “I never said that I wanted to dismiss him. It’s just as you said, I can’t blame an ignorant man. From now on, I’d like everyone in the company to understand that Arianne is my wife. You may like her desserts, but not her. Or else…”

The senior executive nodded and bowed, “Yes sir, yes sir! Everyone knows now. But… Why has Mrs.Tremont opened a dessert shop in a place like this?”

His question received a glare from Mark, “Is that any of your concern? Get a box of desserts for me and a cup of americano.”

The senior executive wiped the sweat off his forehead, “From Mrs. Tremont’s shop?”

Mark stared at him as if he were looking at an idiot, “What do you think?”

The senior executive was too afraid to dawdle any longer. He mumbled a reply and headed for the hills. Still panicking over the possibility of losing his job, Nick stepped forward and asked, “Sir, has Mr. Tremont mentioned anything about firing me?”

The senior executive shook his head, “Mr. Tremont did not mention anything of the sort. Ignorance can be forgiven. You won’t be dismissed. I’ve got to go to Mrs. Tremont’s shop to buy some desserts for him. Now, don’t bother me now, and get back to work! I’ve always heard about how casual Mr. Tremont is, and now I know that it’s all a lie. I’m sweating here!”

The senior executive scurried off to Arianne’s shop. His chubby figure and beer belly proved cumbersome to him, as he was huffing and wheezing, “Lady boss… I’d like… I’d like a box of desserts and a cup of americano!”

The newest member of staff in the shop was a cashier, Naya Palmer, a young mother. Her three-year-old son had just started kindergarten. She felt rather embarrassed after being addressed by the senior executive in that manner, “I’m not the lady boss. We don’t actually have a male boss here, let alone a lady boss. The bosses are two young girls. What kind of dessert would you like?”

The senior executive racked his brains. Mark never mentioned anything about the desserts he wanted, only Arianne would know, “Tell your lady boss… No, Arianne Wynn. I’m looking for Arianne Wynn, she’ll know.”

Naya went to the kitchen to summon her. Arianne poked her head out, “What is it?”

The senior executive was one step away from hugging her legs and bursting into tears, “Lady boss, the boss has asked me to get him a box of desserts and a cup of americano, but he didn’t mention which ones he wanted…”

Arianne glanced at the senior executive’s office tag, then connected the dots according to the desserts and americano that the latter had mentioned. She could pretty much guess the customer’s identity, “I’ll have it all ready as soon as possible. Please wait a moment.”

Since this was a snack for Mark, she knew what he wanted. She whipped up the most expensive desserts, similar to the ones that he had first ordered for her. Then, once they were done, she served them personally and warned the senior executive, “Do not address me as ‘lady boss’.”
