Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1404

Mark appeared within the Tremont Tower a few moments later. From the entrance to the forty-sixth floor, his presence was marked by widened eyes upon widened eyes, as rapt attention was nailed to him while he sauntered through his office. Had it not been for Henry, his stalwart butler, following Mark’s movement, no one would have believed him to be the genuine article.

Mark was surprised upon not finding Arianne, so he asked a dumbfounded Davy, “Where is she?”

Davy was so overwhelmed that his answer came out as a stammer. “M-M-Madam, uh, she r-returned home, I think? Sylvain came to her excitedly, so she probably heard of your return from him… Um, Mr. Tremont, are you alright?”

“Do I look otherwise?” Mark replied flatly.

As he talked, he crossed the room and sat behind the desk. He could smell a whiff of fragrance, no doubt left by Arianne. He marveled at the fact that she had begun to use a perfume; it smelled soft and sweet, just like the woman herself.

Mark looked at the pile of undone documents on the desk and began to pick them up. She must be exhausted all this time, he thought.

Seeing him casually starting to work, Davy asked tentatively, “Uh-hem, Mr. Tremont? Are you not gonna contact Mrs. Tremont?”

“Let me finish all of the work she needs to do today so she doesn’t have to return later, okay?” Mark intoned without lifting his head from his work. “I’ll go home as soon as I finish. It’ll be nice to gift her a well-deserved long break for all that she has done.”

Davy was speechless. How could his boss remain so unperturbed even after all that had happened? Did he not want to drive straight home and cuddle with his wife and son? How could any normal person act this calmly under the circumstances he had gone through? It was as though he did not just cheat death but had just gone on a very, very lengthy overseas trip!

Of course, Davy was only brave enough to snark within the confines of his head. He had no guts to say those things aloud.
