She still hoped that her family could be happy together, without wanting to tear it apart.
Staring blankly at Georgia as Jane went upstairs, a deep sense of jealousy and distortion sprang up in her eyes.
She clenched her fists coldly, leaving a chill in her heart.
Jane thought, since you are so ruthless to me, don't blame me.
...
At night, the weather approaching November swathed the entire city in chilling cold, especially at night. The cold was piercing, all people wanted was to kill the chill with a good sleep.
At that time, Ariana was in the top office of the Lamari Group, dealing with the files she hadn’t finished.
Her demeanor was serious, without a trace of fatigue.
When Lambert entered, he saw such a scene. His dark eyes flickered as a pang of heartache crossed his mind. Subsequently, there was a deep sigh and fascination. His gaze was fixed on Ariana without shifting a bit. Rightfully, as they say, serious working individuals are the most attractive. Lambert experienced the truth of the claim for the first time.
This was his first time seeing Ariana in this light. She looked different than usual yet exuded a deep charm.
Lambert stood there for about half an hour, and then he was spotted by Ariana, who was about to ask her assistant to get her a cup of coffee. Ariana was confused. "When did you come?"
Lambert, who had been standing by the door for over half an hour, laughed and raised his eyebrows. "I've been here for a while. I was wondering how long it'd take for you to notice your dear husband. Seems like I have overestimated myself." After saying that, Lambert slowly walked towards Ariana and whispered, looking at the files, "I'm a bit jealous of them now."
Ariana: "... "
"What are you up to now?" Ariana asked.
Lambert raised his eyebrows and blinked. "I’m just messing around. What is Mrs. Stone planning to do to me?"
Ariana was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. "What are you doing? Those who don’t know might think you're my lover." The tone of her voice just sounded like that of an ‘office lover.'
Who would have known Lambert's smirk would only widen upon hearing this? His lips curled into a wicked smile on purpose, and he leaned closer to Ariana, speaking in a slow sultry voice, "Today, I'm your lover. President White, feel free to 'enjoy' my presence to your heart’s content."
Ariana: "......"
Just then, the assistant entered the room with a stack of documents, only to be greeted by this sight!
She was taken aback for a moment, almost dropping the files.
Swiftly, the assistant bowed her head and retreated, mumbling, "Apologies, President White. I’m sorry, I didn’t see anything."
Ariana: "......"
Before Ariana could rebuke Lambert, who was clearly satisfied with the scene he had created, the assistant gently knocked on the door again. Upon confirming that President White had heard her, she slightly opened a crack and whispered sternly, "But President White, please...try to be careful." With that, she scurried out.
She hadn't intended to offer a warning initially. But, given her fresh start at the company and having heard that President White's husband frequently visits, she felt the need to caution her.
