Before Naya spoke, the woman smiled. “Arianne, I didn’t expect you to be working at a place like this. Mark darling doesn’t want you anymore? How delightful! Didn’t I tell you that you won’t have a happy ending.”
Arianne’s expression darkened, she did not expect to see Aery here. “Aery, watch your words. I didn’t expect to see you here in this place either. You weren’t able to survive in the capital, were you? Eat if you want, scram if you’re not. I have no obligation to serve you.”
This was Naya’s first time seeing Arianne’s harsh side. She felt greatly satisfied since her anger was vented. “This is our boss. We’re the employees.”
Aery did not think much of Arianne just because she owned a dessert shop. “I heard the dessert shop here isn’t bad with desserts that taste like a master’s work. I was wondering who it is, but now I know it’s nothing but a gimmick after seeing the owner. Even if you’re not an employee, you’re only an owner of a dessert shop. What’s the big deal? I came here for a break, how am I anything like you? Arianne, quickly tell me, how did you get chased out of the Tremont’s? I can’t wait to hear about your tragic story…”
Arianne spoke coldly. “I’m the one who doesn’t want Mark, understand? Someone whom I don’t want doesn’t want you. Who’s more tragic?”
Aery turned pale from anger. “What did you say? Repeat yourself if you have the guts!”
Arianne repeated it word for word. “Listen again if you didn’t hear it the first time. The man I don’t want doesn’t want you!”
Tanya sent the coffee that she had prepared at this time. “Coffee’s ready.”
Aery picked it up and hurled it at Arianne. “Bitch!”
Arianne side-stepped to avoid it and the coffee slammed against the wall behind her, making a huge splash.
Naya picked up the phone on the counter. “Let’s call the police.”
Aery grabbed the phone in Naya’s hand and threw it on the floor as well. “Who are you? Who gave you the right to speak?”
Arianne rolled up her sleeves soundlessly and hinted at Tanya with her eyes to close the shop’s door. She had put up with Aery for far too long. She had wanted to retaliate for a long time now, especially after learning that Aery had colluded with Ethan to kidnap Tiffany. She had not been able to get over that.
Tanya was able to discern that her boss was going to beat this woman up. Naturally, she would help. She quickly ran to close the door and turned the sign to the side that said they were on a break.
