Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1220

Davy displayed a smile that looked worse than a weeping face. “I received a family call when I was working overtime yesterday. I had a last-minute emergency. I was going to ask the director to send that urgent document over to you, but the director didn’t have your address. I was about to give it to him when Janice walked over and said she knew your address, so she volunteered to take care of it. The director saw that it was close to the end of the work day and wanted to save the extra trouble, so he gave the job to her. I thought that since we were all colleagues and that document needed to be expedited, it didn’t matter who sent it… So…”

Mark’s expression sank even more. “So? My as*! Would I have asked you to do it if I needed someone else to do it? Use your brain next time. Get out!”

This wasn’t Davy’s first time hearing Mark curse. He ran off, escaping his clutches. He was afraid that Mark might tear him into pieces if he stayed any longer. The thought of it still made him uneasy, so he went downstairs to talk to Janice and ask her what happened last night. “You sent the document over, didn’t you? What else did you do? Why do I feel as if something’s not right with Mr. Tremont today? He’s thrown a tantrum at me, first thing this morning!”

Janice was surprised. “He’s pissed? I didn’t do anything. What’s happened?”

Davy’s shoulders slumped. “How should I know? Why would I ask you if I did? I think Mr. Tremont slept in the office last night. He was still asleep when I arrived today. I’m sure he had a fight with his wife and got chased out of the house. I’m surprised, he’s actually a henpecked husband.”

Janice’s eyes gleamed. “Oh… Mrs. Tremont is quite unreasonable. Mr. Tremont has been tired from working so hard every day, yet she chased him out. That’s too much. I guess Mr. Tremont has been overindulging her. That’s just how women are like; they get a big head when they’re overindulged. But this is really crossing a line.”

Davy was never interested in gossip and knew that discussing a superior’s personal issues was prohibited. “Enough. Get back to work.”

After some thought, Janice decided to make a cup of black tea and bring it up to Mark’s office. Davy was hiding from Mark’s wrath and hadn’t come back yet. When she knocked on the door, Mark thought that she was Davy, so he let her in easily.

Janice lowered her head nervously. “I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have said that. I was just showing concern. I’ll get back to work!” She hurriedly turned around and left after that. The look in Mark’s eyes frightened her. She even had a feeling that she might end up getting dragged out if she said anything more.

She had clearly seen how gentle Mark was to Arianne; why was he so cold towards her? This man held her heart, she deeply admired him, yet Arianne had chased him out of the house and forced him to sleep in the office. The man she cherished was being trampled on.

She had given her all yet failed to attain her objectives. Arianne, on the other hand, achieved hers easily but did not appreciate it. This was unfair! She had never hated someone so much before. The very thought of Arianne’s face, which had the word “apathy” written all over it at any given time, filled her with disgust!
