Klein’s faith in her.


    Once she expressed her thanks to Klein and ended the call, she plunged into deep thought.


    Marco, who had been privy to the entire conversation, realized he had lost a chance to make a pass at


    Loraine. Yet, witnessing Loraine’s earnestness tugged at his heartstrings.


    His voice husky, he ventured, “Loraine, do you need my help?”


    With a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face, Loraine queried,


    “And what might Mr. Bryant offer me?”


    She was in high spirits, her yfulness emerging naturally.

    Marco, furrowing his brow, took a moment before responding, “My skills lie in modeling and rendering. I


    could assist you with that.”


    Upon hearing that, Loraine burst intoughter. Marco, with his thin lips pursed, asked, “What’s so


    funny?”


    “Oh, nothing, I was just reminded of something amusing…”


    Loraine struggled to suppress her giggles. Marco’s words had whisked her back to her college days.


    Back then, the inexperienced college boys would woo her in much the same way.


    The thought that the billionaire CEO of Bryant Group would employ simr tactics amused her to no


    end.


    However, at times, Marco disyed his fondness for her in a manner reminiscent of college students.


    Despite being somewhat clumsy, it held a certain charm and cuteness to it.


    Still trying to contain herughter, Loraine managed to get out, “I appreciate the offer, Mr. Bryant, but


    I’ve got apetent architectural design team. There’s no need for you to personally handle modeling


    and rendering.”


    Marco’s countenance fell at this rejection, yet Loraine’s joyousughter brought him no


    embarrassment. Instead, it was an excuse to get closer to her.


    “I just want to be of help. Let me know what you need.”


    Feeling a flutter in her heart at Marco’s words, Loraine quickly Looked away from his intense gaze and


    managed a soft reply, “I don’t need anything, Marco. But thank you.”


    Another rejection stung Marco.


    With a wistful smile and a rasp in his voice, he asked, “Why, Loraine?


    Are you still upset with me?”


    Just a while ago, they were engulfed in a delightful mood. The nature of his mistake remained a


    mystery to him once more.
