Continuing, Marco said, “In fact, a few newpanies are eager to meet with you, Loraine. Would you


    Like to see them? Let Cayson converse with


    Mr. Fowler.”


    Marco understood Loraine’s character well. Jealous antics would yield him nothing; it was through


    business that he could truly pique her interest.


    As expected, Loraine hesitated before conceding.


    Given Marco’s suggestions, she realized she couldn’t monopolize all the work and needed to share the


    responsibilities with Cayson, who, after all, was the acting CEO of Universe Group.


    Patrick, adjusting his sses, wore a sly smile. He strolled up to


    Cayson, saying, “I’ve heard you’re quite exceptional. Indeed, you seem very aplished. I happen to


    have a few queries regarding the new business district.”


    As Marco subtly sidestepped with Loraine, under the guise of Patrick’s favor, Cayson found himself tied


    up with Patrick. However, his gaze remained unwaveringly fixed on Loraine.


    Watching Loraine and Marco grow increasinglyfortable together, conversing andughing, Cayson


    felt a dark cloud descend upon his mood.


    Perhaps even Loraine hadn’t noticed it herself. Since her divorce, she had be gradually more


    open to Marco’s presence.

    On the other hand, Marco was quite pleased with himself for sessfully diverting Cayson.


    He stayed close to Loraine, ensuring he maintained a bnce between proximity and respect.


    Despite this, he couldn’t help but strut a bit, like a peacock showcasing its splendid feathers to Loraine.


    “Might I have the pleasure of a dance Later?” he asked.


    Loraine asked, “Didn’t you say you’d introduce me to potential coborators? Why this sudden desire to


    dance?”


    “Work and recreation go hand in hand. After the business discussions, consider a dance with me as


    your way of thanking me.”


    Undeterred by her lukewarm response, Marco continued his courteous behavior, fetching her drinks,


    introducing her to various people.


    Through him, Loraine met numerous individuals and gathered valuable insights to enhance the new


    business district.

    Consequently, she found herself growing less resistant to Marco’spany.


    With the atmosphere between them bing more harmonious, Marco contemted capitalizing on


    this moment.


    “Shall we dance now?”


    Before Loraine could respond, a familiar voice called out from a distance, “Loraine!”


    She looked up to see Grady waving enthusiastically, his handsome face a blend of excitement and


    shyness.
