“It’s a very important project, so I’d like to be the one to transport it back personally.”


    Doris looked at Marco, with a mixture of admiration and greed gleaming in her eyes.


    After several years of being kept at a distance by this powerful man due to her unsessful


    confession, she couldn’t help but seek out an opportunity to regain her ce by his side.

    Marco pursed his lips and hesitated.


    “Doris…”


    Worried that he’d figure out her true intentions, Doris quickly neutralized the expression on her face


    and interrupted him with a smile, “Are you thinking that I came back for you, Marco? Back then, I


    confessed my love to you, and you rejected me. After thinking that through, I decided that I wasn’t


    going to bother you anymore. I want toe back solely for the benefit of the Sr Company. It has a


    well-established market overseas, so I’d like toe back and help you expand the business locally.”


    After a short pause, Marco still didn’t think it was a good idea, and refused her subconsciously, “No,


    thanks. I can handle it with Carl’s help. Also, considering your abilities, wouldn’t it be a waste for you to


    come back just to help me? If you want to return, I suggest you go to Zodiac to develop and expand the


    business of the Sr Company.”


    With a Lowering of her gaze, Doris realized that Marco was rejecting her.


    She didn’t often do things she wasn’t sure she could seed in. After impulsively confessing her Love


    to Marco and feeling the subsequent distance that he put between them, she’d learned her Lesson.


    With a smile, she said, “Alright, I’ll take your advice.”


    Deep inside, however, she clenched her teeth intensely in frustration, even tasting a bit of blood in her


    mouth.


    Once the video call was concluded, Doris stared at herputer screen, a bitter grimace framing her


    features. Suddenly, she yanked open a drawer and pulled out a picture.

    The photograph depicted a radiant woman, who was none other than


    Loraine, but Doris, a hardened mask of resentment recing her former expression, picked up a pen


    and began to violently etch across


    Loraine’s face.


    Only when Loraine’s face was barely discernable, disfigured and pocked, did Doris allow a grotesque


    smile of satisfaction to creep across her


    Lips.


    She stared at the photograph and murmured, “Loraine, just wait and observe. I will eventually win over


    Marco!”


    Meanwhile, in the heart of Bryant Group, the CEO’s office, Carl tapped lightly on the door before


    striding in to update Marco on the day’s tasks.


    “Mr. Bryant, tomorrow’s itinerary is ready. If there are no changes,


    I’ll go ahead and inform Miss Torres about the scheduled meeting.”


    Hearing this, Marco cleared his throat and said, “No, I will take up the matter with the Universe Group.


    They deserve to know our intentions.”


    “Understood, Mr. Bryant.” Carl perceived Marco’s intent but kept his mouth sealed.
