“I’m good. You may leave now.”


    With a sigh of eptance, Carl brought up a pending business matter,


    “Mr. Bryant, we were scheduled to have a meeting with Universe Group and Cheap and Fine Group to


    finalize the proposal. When would you Like to arrange that?”


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Brightening at the idea, Marco replied with enthusiasm, “As soon as possible would be best!”


    He wagered that Loraine wouldn’t decline a professional encounter. He could only hope to rify his


    actions when given a chance to meet her.


    Departing the office, Carl felt a sense of relief seeing Marco regain some of his usual vigor.


    Fully engrossed in his work, Marco found a respite from his lingering thoughts, making him feel


    somewhat better.


    Before long, his desk phone interrupted the silence. Carl ryed the message over the call, “Mr.


    Bryant, Ms. Hoffman from Sr Company wishes to arrange a video call with you. Do you have the


    time now?”


    A frown crept onto Marco’s face.

    He was at a Loss as to why Doris would seek him out at this moment.

    Marco wanted to turn Doris down.


    He knew that she had feelings for him, and would’ve preferred that shemunicate with Carl instead,


    if the matter concerning the Sr


    Company wasn’t too important.


    On second thought, however, Marco realized that he had to tell Doris about the transportation of the


    ninth-generation operating robot.


    Knowing that he’d have to contact her sooner orter, he reluctantly agreed, “Put her through, please.”


    As soon as the video call was connected, a beautiful face appeared on the screen. Doris gazed at him


    for a few seconds, her red lips subtly curving in excitement.


    “Long time no see, Marco.”


    Despite the previous awkwardness between them, Doris remained an essential partner overseas and


    Marco’s trusted right-hand subordinate.


    Moreover, she was a hard worker and hadn’t pursued him further in all these years. It was Marco,


    instead, who had been avoiding her excessively.


    After letting out a sigh of relief, he acknowledged her with a nod.


    Doris managed to suppress her lingering emotions just in time, and swiftly shifted her focus to


    business.


    “I heard that you’ve sent the ninth-generation robot back. Why didn’t you discuss such an important


    decision with me in advance?”
