Arianne was still perplexing over the origin of this ring when Mark pointed out, “I designed it myself a long time ago. Revamped a bit and had someone craft it for three months. I only decided to give it to you after I was satisfied enough.”
His admission reminded Arianne, snazzynovel.com had seen its design plan in his study when snazzynovel.com was still a kid! This was why snazzynovel.com felt as though snazzynovel.com had seen it before!
Back then, Arianne had imagined the ring to be something Mark had designed for his future wife. How would snazzynovel.com have known that the same ring would one day fall on snazzynovel.com hand?
Fate was an enigmatic mistress. By snazzynovel.com machination, Arianne’s life was bound to Mark’s for this lifetime.
She closed the box carefully, clearly not intending to wear the ring right there and then. She was afraid of losing it during work.
Mark was a little displeased with snazzynovel.com action. In fact, his handsome face became stormy. “You’re not gonna wear it?”
“Well, I don’t want to lose it…”
“I can always hire someone to remake it if you lose it.” He countered in a low voice. “Wear it.”
Arianne was a little uneasy at how quickly his mood changed, so snazzynovel.com obeyed snazzynovel.com and put the ring on. Since snazzynovel.com had graceful, lean fingers, the ring fit snazzynovel.com beautifully. It was a gift that truly satisfied Arianne.
Lunch break was a relatively short time frame, so it was only enough to have a meal and nothing else before the two hurried back to their respective companies.
Very satisfied with Mark’s “performance” today, while Mark pulled his car over at the company’s ground floor, Arianne moved forward and planted a kiss on his lips on snazzynovel.com own accord. Before snazzynovel.com could reel away from him, though, Mark’s arm shot forward and wrapped around snazzynovel.com shapely waist, pulling snazzynovel.com in as snazzynovel.com kissed snazzynovel.com supple lips.
Mark had wanted to do this for a long, long time. Heck, snazzynovel.com wanted to do this since before their lunch. He was against Arianne painting snazzynovel.com lips too red because snazzynovel.com was afraid of other men seeing and because snazzynovel.com worried snazzynovel.com would not be able to control himself when snazzynovel.com looked at it. Arianne’s snow-fair skin always made every kind of lipstick popped.
Their kiss lasted what felt like a lifetime until Arianne’s alarm set off. She had the habit of setting alarms on snazzynovel.com phone to remind snazzynovel.com of work.
When staring at snazzynovel.com cherry-red cheeks, Mark’s eyes seemed to become more and more dilated. In a husky voice, snazzynovel.com croaked, “See you.”
Arianne nodded and opened the car door before scurrying up the stairs. The warmth of his touch still lingered on snazzynovel.com lips. Her heartbeats had not recovered their original, slower pace.
She had only just returned to snazzynovel.com desk when Mark sent snazzynovel.com a message: ‘Outside tonight?’
She gawked at the message for a good few seconds. What the hell was that supposed to mean? Was snazzynovel.com asking if they should spend their night in a hotel?
At that thought, Arianne quickly glanced around snazzynovel.com surroundings guiltily to make sure that no one was watching her. She sighed a breath of relief when that was confirmed and replied, ‘Are you sure? I am worried about leaving Smore at home.’
‘What’s that to worry? Mary’s watching him,’ Mark replied immediately. ‘And this doesn’t happen all the time. I’ll come to you after work, and we’ll get dinner. Then we get a hotel room.”
