Marcus noticed the eager look on Marilyn's face, her eyes sparkling with hope, and it seemed She genuinely wanted him to stay and be the first person to have a taste of their new food which is an honor undermining she doesn't know who he really is, and she is this respectful towards him tell a lot. But he knew his time was limited he needs to get Hazel the food and then go train with Mr. Tyler, and the crowd gathering around them might delay him further if he decided to join the queue again it might not get to him on time, and he promised to meet with Mr. Tyler early today, but accepting Marilyn's request might expedite his departure since she is ready to take his order all he has to do is just taste the food, and he's gone.Marcus started weighing his options to see which one of them would be suitable, and then he decided to accept Marilyn's offer. “Okay, since you want to give me the honor of being the first person to taste your newly added food, it's a pleasure, and I accept your

Ivy's gaze was fixed intently on Marilyn, her eyes scrutinizing every detail of her face. Earlier, she couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, but now she senses something is off, and this time it's so bad, even more so than her first encounter with her. Marilyn's smile seemed too wide, her eyes gleaming with an unsettling intensity. Ivy's instincts were screaming warnings, her mind racing with worst-case scenarios. She doesn't seem to like anything about Ivy the way she is staring at her, sometimes she would start wondering if she sees her mind because it's not ordinary for a little child to be this angry towards her it's becoming something else.However, she deleted the thought from her head that, if she liked it or not, her father would be hers today.Marilyn and the waiter stopped in front of Marcus, her face still beaming with a smile as she calmed down.“Sorry for keeping you waiting, Mr. Marcus. I really wanted to give you the best; that was why I took my time to prepare

Marilyn's face was a delicate mask, struggling to contain the storm of fear brewing behind her eyes. She knew that any hint of her inner fear would only heighten Marcus's suspicions of her without being told, she could tell he's suspecting her of doing something with the food. Marilyn tried to hide the fear in her, but her body betrayed her. She couldn't pretend as if nothing was wrong. She is becoming afraid of what Marcus would do if he finds out what she did to the food and why she did it. However, she knows she can't back down now.She tried to compose herself, forcing a smile that felt more like a fake.“Mr. Marcus, are you suspecting me of something? Why are you insisting I should have a taste of the food when you know I prepared it for you?”Her voice wavered, and she hoped Marcus wouldn't notice, she had never been in such situations before.Marcus's silence was deafening. His piercing gaze was fixed on Marilyn, unwavering and intense. Marilyn's thoughts raced. She knew he w

Marcus's face changed dramatically, a mix of disbelief and confusion sweeping over his features; he couldn't believe what he just heard. Marilyn had just told him to leave, and she seemed serious, her tone casual and unbothered.It was as if she didn't care that he had canceled her contract, and she hadn't even argued that he lacked the power to do so; it was as if she was expecting it. Her sudden change of attitude was clear. He could see that her attitude had shifted completely, and it raised his suspicions because her plans had failed. Marilyn had changed, and why would she even do that when she knew he was married? What could she even be looking for in him? He's just a worker at Sam Yellow Company. She is far richer, but with the way she is behaving shows, she knows something or is hiding something. Someone must be behind her newfound confidence, and Marcus was determined to find out whom.With a firm grip, Marcus took Ivy's hand.“Come, let's go.”He said, his voice tight wit

Marcus exhaled slowly, deciding to lay everything out; he couldn't keep it away from Robert if Marilyn was plotting something; she knows about her first, so he can look at it for him.“It's a long story. I met Marilyn at a business meeting the other day. She was charming and confident, and I ended up signing her contract. Everything seemed fine at first. But then, I saw her again at Crown High School when I was dropping my daughter off at school. She approached me, and it struck me as odd, but I didn't think much of it at first; I thought she was just grateful about the contract.”Robert listened intently, the concern in his silence palpable. It seems the young master is in a difficult situation for him to be telling him all of this. Someone has offended him, and he was curious to find that person.“Then”Marcus continued“I ran into her once more at MK. This time, things took a darker turn. She tried to drug me, Robert. I only managed to escape without eating the food. I was lucky. I
