Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 284

Having to wait an entire hour just for Mr. Stone shows how unstable her marital relationship is.

Regardless of the circumstances, Zara is not afraid.

Thinking about this, her eyes flickered unintentionally.

Coincidentally at that moment, Lambert's assistant had finally arrived. He glanced at the curious gaze of the other staff members, which effectively made them turn their heads and continue their work. He then went straight to the front desk, and upon seeing Ariana, he respectfully said, "Madam, Mr. Stone has asked me to escort you up."

Zara: "..."

The receptionist's face at this moment couldn't be described as just pale. So... she really is the CEO's wife!

Thinking about the words she had just said, she practically wanted to slap herself!

Zara was also startled.

She didn't expect Lambert to let Assistant Hills personally greet this woman. Hearing Assistant Hills's addressing of this woman, Zara's complexion momentarily flashed with panic.

However, good self-restraint made her calm down.

At the same time, she mentally geared up, thinking that as long as she had her cousin Stefan, there was nothing to fear, regardless of the other party's capabilities.

Meanwhile, Ariana didn't even glance at them.

Instead, she looked at Assistant Hills and asked, "Has he finished his work?"

Assistant Hills somewhat helplessly replied, "Mr. Stone asked me to tell you he was in a meeting just now, so he couldn't answer your call. Next time you come, you can directly go to his office."

Ariana: "Hmm."

Just like that, the receptionist and Zara helplessly watched Ariana enter the company without uttering a single word.

The rest of the people who were witnessing this scene were nearly laughing their shoulders off.

No one had expected that the girl was actually their CEO's wife!

Many people were resentfully silent about Zara always acting arrogantly and constantly lecturing others due to her connection with Stefan. However, this moment provoked their hidden delight and schadenfreude. They sneered under their breath, thinking Zara had gotten into trouble this time. They were curious whether the lady 'president' was as unpopular as the rumors suggested.

If that was the case, Zara might have a chance to gloat again.

However, if their marriage was harmonious, Zara would likely be in trouble.

Of course, with Stefan present, she wouldn't end up in too much distress.

Still, watching her lose face made them quite happy.

...

Meanwhile, once Ariana reached the penthouse, she saw Lambert standing at the door.

He seemed to be waiting especially for her.

Upon seeing Ariana, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly walked towards her, blinking and laughing, "What makes you so generous today, coming to see me?"

Ariana snorted, "You make it sound like I was not good before."

Lambert immediately responded earnestly, "Ah, dear, you have misunderstood me." He glanced at the lunch box in Assistant Hills's hand and instantly understood that Ariana had brought it. He revealed a surprised expression, saying, "Hey? You even brought food for me. My wife is truly amazing." He then took the lunch box from Assistant Hills's hand.

Assistant Hills had been listening to all this, feeling quite bitter.

Upon seeing the CEO accept the takeaway, he quickly found a pretext and left.

However, after two meals, Mr. Stone's stomach seemed to be unable to take it. It seemed that he would need to buy some stomach-reinforcing pills later on.

With this thought in mind, Assistant Hills hastened his pace.

On the other hand, Ariana was seated on Lambert's couch, and couldn't resist letting out a small yawn.

Lambert furrowed his brows slightly, his voice was gentle as he asked, "Feeling sleepy?"

Ariana shook her head and said, "No, not really."

Lambert had concerns in his heart. Although he wanted to spend time alone with Ariana, seeing her so tired made him feel a little distressed. Therefore, he softly said, "If you are tired, you should lie down and rest for a while. After I finish my work, I will take you home." After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and added, "Did the receptionist and Ms. Flynn mistreat you just now?"

Ariana: "Hmm?"

Lambert sternly said, "I will fire them later."

Ariana coughed once then said, "Well, perhaps not. If this gets out, it would seem like the director’s wife comes to visit the director, but then gets upset with the assistants and receptionist and fires them. People might think I am too aggressive."

Lambert chuckled, "Who dares to say that? I will keep firing."

Ariana made a face and said, "Then you would have no employees left in your company."

Lambert: "Haha, no, there would still be Assistant Hills and Stefan."

Ariana: "..."

After the joke, Lambert regained his serious demeanor. He gazed at Ariana, whom he hadn't seen in a while, for quite a bit, before gently resting his forehead against hers. Then he softly said, "So to ensure my employees recognize you, remember to visit the company frequently. My beloved wife."

Ariana: "...." Ariana's face turned red.
