Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 556

Ellie’s mind went momentarily blank, followed by a subtle wave of delight. It was probably because she’d performed outstandingly in every aspect, right? She reached up and tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear, and asked bashfully, “Why?”

“Because in the past, you would put all of your focus into your job and would never try to seduce me.”

Ellie’s expression immediately changed. She promptly straightened up, “I-I’m sorry…”

Mark refused to give her a chance, “You may collect your pay from the financial department. Consider yourself fired. You’ll even receive a pretty good severance package.”

Ellie couldn’t believe this. She had more to say, but she shut her mouth when she stared into Mark’s icy glare. Reality had finally struck her. She had managed to maintain this great job for many years because of her own professional capabilities, not her good looks. Giving in to devious intentions had not only caused her to lose her chance in achieving her goals, but she had also completely lost out on a larger reward!

She knew Mark very well. After working so many years for him, she knew that he had always been a decisive man. When she walked out of the office building, she threw all of the personal belongings that she had brought out with her into the trash can. Then, she marched into the café.

Tiffany thought that she had arrived to buy more things for Mark. “What do you want this time?” she asked irritably.

“I need to speak to Arianne,” Ellie replied with an emotionless look on her face, “I’ll leave once I’m done.”

Tiffany rolled her eyes, knocked on the kitchen door, and said, “Ari, Ellie’s here for you. She says that she has something to say to you.”

Arianne opened the door and walked out. Before she could speak, Ellie spoke up first, “Could we talk elsewhere? It’s inconvenient here. I need to speak to you in private.”

Arianne stared out at the sweltering heat outside and chose the quiet staff lounge, “Come with me into the lounge.”

In the staff lounge, Ellie went straight into the topic, “I’ve been dismissed because I tried to seduce Mr. Tremont.”

Arianne’s surprise left as quickly as it arrived, “And?” she calmly asked.

Ellie forced a smile on her pretty lips, “I just wanted to give you a few words of warning. He’s willingly stooped to this — abandoned the capital and moved all the way to this rotten place, all for your sake. You should be grateful. Don’t wait until he’s lost his patience before running back to him.”
