    She was certain that if she asked Marco for a substantial mary gift or afortable life overseas,


    he wouldn’t decline.


    Yet, she refused to quit. Having left in disarray once, she wouldn’t let Loraine win again and slink away


    in despair.


    In the Bryant Group CEO’s office, Marco immediately added the number to his block List after sending


    Keely the message.

    Though Carl wasn’t fond of Marco unting his romantic life, he preferred it over the stoic and distant


    Marco of the past. He couldn’t fathom how unhinged Marco might be if he couldn’t win Loraine

    Pondering, he stated, “Once we’ve paid our respects to Jorge, I’ll send


    Keely overseas directly. After everything is resolved, I’ll rify everything to Loraine, ensuring she


    remains untroubled.”


    Elsewhere, Loraine found herself engrossed in her phone call log with


    Marco.


    She meant to browse through her messages but unintentionally tapped on the call history. A chuckle


    escaped her as she recalled how Marco would ring her up just to brag and arrange meet-ups


    Suddenly, Jolie’s teasing voice echoed in Loraine’s ears. “Miss Torres, what’s got you smiling so


    broadly? Did your sweetheart ring you up?”


    Flustered, Loraine shot Jolie a stern look before settling back into her chair. “Stop making things up!”
