Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 152

While they claimed she wasn't feeling well, the incident of Ariana nearly vomiting in the meeting room was already spread far and wide. Everyone was saying that Ariana was pregnant.

Ariana did not like the person who initiated the rumors and replied with a slightly cold tone, "It's nothing."

Johan raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling on a fresh red mark on the back of Ariana's neck, not hidden by her long hair. His pupils darkened seeing the fresh mark.

It was evident it was recent.

Yesterday, both Ariana and Lambert were absent from work.

Who else, but him, could have left that mark?

He politely nodded, "Then I will leave Manager White alone for now."

"Hmm."

After Ariana responded, she asked Supervisor Parker after Johan left, "Why don't I see assistant Green?"

Supervisor Parker answered, "Since you were absent, he went to the construction site."

She nodded slightly, "Give me the documents I haven't reviewed during my absence."

Seeing Ariana's intention to work overtime, Supervisor Parker hesitated, "This… Manager White… Aren't you…"

She frowned, rarely seeing Supervisor Parker so hesitant, "What am I?"

He hurriedly answered, "The word has been going around the company that you're pregnant."

Ariana was momentarily taken aback. She hadn't expected the rumor to have persisted to the present and was speechless, "Let them talk, but rest assured, I am not pregnant."

Rumors stop at the wise, she doesn't care too much about what others think.

However, she just started working here not too long ago, she has been with this team for a very short time.

If the team knew about her pregnancy now, they would think she was irresponsible. Therefore, it is necessary to explain this to them.

When the team members heard Ariana assure them, they all leaned their heads in surprise.

They never expected that Ariana could understand their concerns.

Ariana thought of the recent times when they didn't dare to leave work because she worked overtime. She pulled a credit card from her bag and handed it to Supervisor Parker, saying, "Last time, during the gathering I hosted, some things didn't go well. Consider this time as making up for it."

Hearing the news of another gathering, all the team members showed excited expressions.

She added: "I've troubled you all these days, always staying with me to work overtime. From now on, allow this to be the norm. Unless necessary, you can help me or leave work earlier. On the way, pay attention to safety. Female colleagues who don't have rides shouldn't go home late."

"Yes!"

After her arrangements, Ariana went into the office, planning to organize her work for the past few days.

Her eyes paused slightly when she placed the medicine bottle on the table.

Upstairs... When Lambert had returned to his office Beverly from next door came bothering him.

Lambert, not in the mood to deal with her, asked his assistant, to handle Beverly.

Beverly was extremely upset and happened to run into Johan in the hallway, who was coming to the vice president's office to find Lambert.

He smirked at the furious Beverly, saying, "What's got you so mad?"

Beverly was annoyed and didn't want to deal with him, but she heard Johan say, "Actually, Ariana isn't pregnant."

She paused and looked at him in surprise, "How do you know?"

Stone Group was located in the busiest area of the city. The stream of cars passing below was ceaseless day and night. She didn't know why, but Ariana thought Lambert enjoyed such a sight too.

Seeing that the sky outside had already darkened, she looked at her watch and saw it was past six. Just as she was preparing to leave work, she heard the office door being opened with a creak.

She halted for a moment, despite the fact it was unlikely for bad men to break into the Stone Group. Recalling her kidnapping experience, she still felt a frisson of fear.

Additionally, by this time, most of the company's people had already gone home, and her team was at a gathering, so no one should be there.

Just as she looking for something she could grab to throw at whoever might enter, the door opened.

Assistant Hills opened the door and saw Ariana looking at him in shock and with a guarded expression, he was somewhat taken aback, "Madam..., did I scare you?"

She did not expect it to be Assistant Hills, she was taken aback, embarrassedly putting down the item she was holding.

"Why are you here?"

Assistant Hills paused, then explained, "It's like this, Conan has gone to the construction site today and can't pick you up, so he asked me to come."

Ariana was a bit stunned, she had forgotten that ever since her kidnapping incident, Lambert assigned Conan as her driver.

However, she mostly traveled with Lambert, so she had put that incident in the back of her mind.

She nodded and said, "Okay, wait a while for me. I will pack up."

Assistant Hills answered, "Yes!"

When Ariana returned to the Stone family, it happened to be right at mealtime. Lambert was also sitting at the table. Her bowl and chopsticks were already prepared.

Only then did she remember that she was so busy working that she had forgotten to tell Old Mrs. Stone and her mother-in-law.
