Everyone else held their breath as they watched in utter silence.


    Nichol was the first to speak. “The kiss is supposed to be on the lips.

    So, this doesn’t count,” he mumbled.


    Marco frowned, but said nothing. He simply picked up the ss of wine that Loraine had just poured


    and drank it in one gulp.


    “Is that enough?” he asked Nichol.


    Nichol nodded, “Of course.”


    Loraine, on her part, was feeling a little restless. Her face, especially the part that Marco had kissed,


    was very hot.


    She tried to pretend as if nothing had happened, but she failed miserably.


    What made it worse was the fact that Marco was still sitting next to her.


    She closed her eyes for a while and then got up on her feet. “I have something urgent to do, so I’m


    going home. You guys can continue the game,” she said with a forced smile.


    “I’m also leaving now,” Marco said and got up too.


    Carl knew what his boss was thinking, so he quickly came to his assistance. “Miss Torres, Mr. Bryant


    just drank a ss of wine for your sake. Since it’s not safe for him to drive, can you give him a ride?”


    Loraine froze.


    Her aim was to avoid facing Marco any Longer, and now, she would have to sit in the same car with


    him?

    No way! That would not happen!


    She cleared her throat and replied, “You’re his assistant. Why can’t you drive him yourself?”


    Carl smiled and pointed at the bottle in front of him. “I’ve drunk a lot myself. Besides, Mr. Bryant has


    given the driver a holiday, so he’s not avable.”


    Loraine was speechless.


    She just didn’t know what to say. She tried to think of something, but her mind was nk. Already,


    Marco was smiling, thinking that she was going to agree with Carl’s idea.


    But Loraine pointed at Nichol and said, “He hasn’t had any wine. He can take Marco back home.”


    With that, she picked up her bag and hurried out of the ce.


    Marco stared at Nichol, which made Nichol shiver in apprehension.


    He couldn’t help but remember all the mistakes he had made in the past few years. He knew Marco


    could easily decide to punish him now for all those past mistakes, so he decided to apologize


    immediately.
