She did not hold back with snazzynovel.com words, as if conveying that Arianne had no merits apart from snazzynovel.com beautiful looks. Arianne resented snazzynovel.com mentally but still put a smile on snazzynovel.com face as snazzynovel.com said to her, “It’s up to us whether we find each other suitable or not. It isn’t as shallow as judging based on appearances, but rather, whether both parties like each other, isn’t that right? So Jessica, when will we talk about the dress?”
Jessica looked at snazzynovel.com in silence before saying, “Mrs. Tremont, I will acknowledge that your designs have managed to be published in fashion magazines and you are quite experienced in the field. However, it isn’t up to my standards. Each and every one of my personal designers are even more renown than you are. We’ll put an end to this discussion here today. Until next time.”
Arianne had the urge to curse at the woman, but snazzynovel.com held herself back as snazzynovel.com thought of Mr. Yaleman’s incessant ranting. She was afraid that snazzynovel.com would ruin Mark’s business since Jessica was one of Mark’s business partners. She had to endure as best as snazzynovel.com could.
Mr. Yaleman was disappointed when snazzynovel.com heard that the business proposal had been rejected, but snazzynovel.com did not comment about it. He had already anticipated that it would be difficult to secure such a big business when snazzynovel.com took into account the level of standard his company had.
On the other hand, Mark had received news about Jessica’s earlier than originally scheduled arrival at the capital and was a little frustrated. He had a feeling that something was amiss when snazzynovel.com did not go to meet snazzynovel.com the moment snazzynovel.com arrived. It was possible that snazzynovel.com objective was to discuss business matters with him. In any case, snazzynovel.com had to fulfill the role of a host and organize snazzynovel.com stay for snazzynovel.com to the best of his abilities. However, it wasn’t all too bad for him. This way, snazzynovel.com could resolve the misunderstanding about the present sooner.
Arianne was agitated at the amount of humiliation snazzynovel.com had to endure. She thought of discussing it with Mark once they were back at home that night, but unfortunately, before snazzynovel.com even got off work, Mark called snazzynovel.com to say that snazzynovel.com had a social event to attend to that night and snazzynovel.com should head home herself. Arianne did not have to think too deeply to know that snazzynovel.com was meeting Jessica that night. Her emotions began to rise as snazzynovel.com immediately hung up the call.
That night at the White Water Bay cafe, Mark was seated directly opposite Jessica. He had brought Davy along to avoid having to meet with snazzynovel.com alone, which would have been awkward for him. Since it was a formal business meeting, snazzynovel.com had expected Jessica to bring snazzynovel.com secretary along as well, however, snazzynovel.com attended alone.
Jessica had a disgruntled look on snazzynovel.com face when snazzynovel.com saw that Mark had brought someone with him, but snazzynovel.com said with a cajole tone, “I had thought this would be a date between just the two of us.”
Mark sat upright riggedly and replied, “There are surely a number of matters for us to discuss regarding our partnership. Hence, I have my secretary with me to listen in so that I don’t miss anything. I’m sure you wouldn’t mind.”
Jessica liked how Mark was always easy-going and confident. She held up both snazzynovel.com hands and rested snazzynovel.com chin on them as snazzynovel.com stared right into his eyes. “If you think I won’t mind, so be it. The ambience here is really nice. I like the atmosphere as well. I’m sure the owner of this cafe is as much of a decent man as you are.”
Mark said tonelessly, “It’s my friend’s cafe. I’ll introduce snazzynovel.com to you someday. Right, about the present I gave you previously…”
Jessica interrupted snazzynovel.com before snazzynovel.com could finish. “I like it very much. The design is very eye-catching. Its meaning is also… just perfect.”
Mark froze slightly. He was used to seeing Arianne, who was elegant and refined like a jasmine, so when snazzynovel.com was faced with a flirtatious and domineering woman such as Jessica, snazzynovel.com did not have the slightest interest in her. Heck, snazzynovel.com was even irked by her. “I believe you have misunderstood. Those earrings were actually meant for my wife. I mistakenly took the wrong box with me when I was on my business trip. I’ve prepared another gift for you as a token of my apology since it’s my fault. I hope you’ll like it.”
Davy took his cue and brought out an expensive necklace that Mark had just bought. Jessica’s face stiffened. Without looking at the necklace, snazzynovel.com said, “You’re saying that you… gave me the wrong gift? These earrings were meant for your wife?”
