She stayed silent, ming Qbot entirely. Her frequent chats with the bot had resulted in her unwitting


    use of memes!


    If Marco made fun of her…


    While Loraine was contemting an excuse, she noticed that Marco hadn’t responded for a while.


    Biting her lip, she was genuinely exasperated.


    He had initiated the conversation, and now he was giving her the silent treatment. What was going on?


    Shaking her head, Loraine decided to put these thoughts aside and get back to work. That’s when the


    revving of a car engine disrupted the tranquility of her office. Who had the audacity to honk their car


    near the Universe Group building?


    Rising from her chair, she ambled to the window. Peering down, she thought she spotted Marco’s ck


    Lincoln stationed outside the building.

    Did Marco pass by?


    With the phone in her grip, a thrill rippled through Loraine. Her pulse quickened.


    The individual she’d been speaking to over the phone just now appeared before her. She couldn’t


    muster any usible exnation.

    Shouldn’t they involve Davy if the newmercial district was the topic at hand…


    Loraine clenched her teeth, deciding to head downstairs and seek answers. She was determined not to


    harbor secrets like Marco!


    Just as she was about to proceed downstairs, a knock resonated from the door.


    Leaning nonchntly against the door, Cayson shed a gentle smile.


    “Lorrie, I gather the inte scandal has blown over.


    Congrattions.”


    Wearing a faint smile, Loraine snuck a nce out the window, responding, “I appreciate that, Cayson.


    And I owe you for buffering the board’s pressure.”


    The silence from Universe Group during this wave of public outcry was noteworthy. The shareholders


    hadn’t acted up, partially due to the recent Duran issue and the circumspect behavior of the shrewd old


    hands. In addition, Cayson’s support for her yed a significant role.


    Cayson, a hint of a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, began to approach her.


    “Lorrie, Let’smemorate this satisfactory resolution with a dinner, shall we?”


    Loraine hesitated at the proposal.


    Detecting her reluctance, Cayson’s mood dipped. He dropped his gaze, feigning disappointment, and


    then murmured, “It’s been a while since we spent quality time, Lorrie. Plus, Jennie will join us this


    time…”


    Loraine’s resolve melted and she offered a nod in consent.


    It was true, they had grown up together like siblings. They used to spend their days together, but ever


    since she married into the Bryant family, the three of them hadn’t been able to relish those cherished


    moments together.
