That man was Hans, a man in his early forties who had a little gray in his hair. Yes, although it was not visible because all his hair was now dyed brown. And now, Hans seemed to be staring angrily at Marco. He clenched his fist and hissed, "You're talking out of your ass! Don't be a smartass!"Hans said, "I've been in business for a long time, and I'm not a newbie like you. Who are you to act like you know that my company has a lot of debt? You have no right to say such things!" He didn't want people to think that way just because of a single remark from a stranger they met one day.Marco raised one eyebrow with indifferent eyes. "Why wouldn't I have the right?" Marco then chuckled and smiled mockingly. "You don't know my company either. Do you think my company is lousy? Even I don't want to work with you."Hans took a rough breath and looked at Marco with a glare. "So that you know, my company has a very large income. One million dollars is a very small amount to me."Hans clucked a
"No, that's not possible. There seems to be a mistake here," said one of the people who had been there and heard everything. His face looked so incredulous at what he had just heard. The man with dark black hair pointed at Marco with his hand and said, "This kind of thing makes no sense."Meanwhile, Hans, who was previously insulted by Marco, began to take the opportunity to add his opinion deliberately. "Who does he think he is? What family does he come from to be able to do such a big thing with a company that has just been built?"One of the women who had talked to Wilson and heard Marco's surname immediately said, "He just comes from a very small and not famous family. Do you know the Moore family? Do you know them?" Apparently, not only did he want to refute the argument, but he also wanted to reply to Marco's insinuation that the women here were mostly stupid.And the woman at his side nodded in agreement. "He must be doing a trick. How could he succeed with just one try?"Xavie
Neither Wilson nor Marco went straight home after the party ended. The two chose to dine at a fancy restaurant in the city center. They exited the car and took the elevator to the top floor. And here they were, sitting down to a sumptuous dinner with a stunning night view of the city. Yes, Savoureux Tower never fails to deliver the most delightful ambiance among other fine dining restaurants.Wilson crossed her legs and looked at Marco. "It turns out that you can respond and reply to people who mock you so calmly." The woman then leaned her back against the chair. Before, she played with the drink in her hand with a curious face. She wanted to know who Marco was. There was no sign that the man would reveal the truth anytime soon.So Wilson chose to take a sip of the wine in her hand and asked, "You're not going to tell me who you are?" The woman leered slightly, affected by the effects of the wine she had swallowed while still at the party.Marco did the same. The man fiddled with the
Marco took a long breath and pressed his head while shaking his head. The man looked at Wilson, who looked so messed up with eyes that were now half open. "Ah, she is a woman who likes to trouble herself."The man saw that Wilson was increasingly acting and speaking strangely. Some things sounded like inconsequential mumbling, and Marco could not catch the meaning. The woman was still clutching the zipper of her dress and tugging at it to get it off her.Realizing this, Marco immediately held the woman's hand to stop her from doing anything further. "You'll regret it when you wake up."Marco was certain that Wilson would be embarrassed when she regained consciousness the next morning. What woman would want to show her body in front of someone who is not theirs? Especially Wilson, a great woman who doesn't seem to need men.But unexpectedly, Wilson looked at her with her eyes blinking several times. The woman smiled like a fool. "Gosh, you're handsome and charming. How can there be som
Once they had cleaned up, Marco and Wilson sat across from each other with two glasses of tea on the table. Marco savored every sip of the tea he ordered with its soothing chamomile aroma. Even the warm smoke still filled the room.Wilson lowered her head slightly and stole a shy glance at Marco. The woman tucked her hair behind her ear. Her face reddened slightly as she accidentally recalled what she had done to Marco last night. It felt like Wilson's face was getting hot, and she was at a loss for what to do.Marco certainly noticed that Wilson was more silent than usual. "Already, it's better to forget what happened last night." She didn't like the awkwardness between them either. Since both of them were coworkers, it would not be pleasant to continue to be trapped in a situation like this. Yes, despite the fact that he also did not expect that something like last night would happen because it was very embarrassing.Wilson gave a slight nod, although the uncomfortable feeling stil
"Yes, we can probably have coffee together next time," Isabella said as Marco said goodbye to leave. Marco gave a slight nod and stood up to leave. But apparently, Isabella didn't want that yet.The woman in the floral dress that covered her knees held Marco's hand and looked at him curiously. "This is the first time I've seen a man like you."The two were now staring at each other. "Should I feel proud of that?" Although the tone Marco said sounded like a question, obviously, the man did not need an answer.Isabella, of course, immediately smiled when she heard Marco's answer. The woman lowered her head slightly to avert her eyes from constantly staring at Marco. Finally, she looked back at the face of the man in front of her.To be honest, this is not a common occurrence. Isabella often gets unpleasant treatment because of her beautiful face. Although beauty is a gift, sometimes beauty can also get her into trouble. Some of the calls were mischievous and teasing, even harassing, no
Without turning around to look at Jeremy's face, Marco stood where he was while adjusting his breathing and intonation. "Do you know that what you said was very dangerous?" His tone sounded like a threat. Jeremy could feel it even though Marco had not turned towards him.At that moment, Marco turned around with a serious face. Stared at Jeremiah without blinking, let alone trembling. "You shouldn't say things like that." Slowly, Marco walked closer. The man took such a slow and steady pace that he deliberately made every second more terrifying for Jeremy. And now, he stood before Jeremy, staring at him with a flame in his eyes. The man was still incensed by Marco's retaliation for his evil deeds. And now, Marco leaned in and locked his gaze onto Jeremy's eyes. "Moreover, this is about human life. You should have thought better of it. This time, I will forgive you. But not next time."But what Marco said only made Jeremy even more upset. His hands were clenched, and he growled. "I do
At first, Isabella was afraid Marco would get bad and unpleasant treatment from the two men who didn't know where he came from. Moreover, Marco was only alone, and Jeremy, known to be very pushy, came with his rude friend, Niel. he would have a bad experience today, and Isabella would not be able to see it.But apparently, her guess was wrong. Isabella even had to shut her mouth when she saw Marco put up a fight. Whether in terms of strength or intelligence. How could that man be calm and retaliate against Jeremy and Niel's inappropriate treatment? It feels like Isabella is becoming more and more fascinated by the man.Especially when Jeremy shouted while sitting on the ground and holding his stomach, the man's face looked so red. Isabella couldn't guess whether it was because he was embarrassed that his arrogance was exposed or angry. After all, he felt he had been defeated.Marco himself smiled in the face of Jeremy's anger. "Why are you yelling? "You can't beat me?" he asked with a
