But these ordinary folks sold cheap items for a few dors or tens of dors, yet their hearts were filled


    with the simplest and most sincere goodwill.


    Marco gently held Loraine, afraid that she wouldn’t be able to withstand the enthusiasm of the crowd.


    Then he leaned closer to her and said in her ear, “During the fair, the winning bidders didn’t express


    their gratitude as genuinely as these people.”


    Loraine raised an eyebrow in surprise. How could he even think ofparing both cases? Except for


    her best friend, Jennie, who had helped her out, the other participants were only motivated by their


    selfish goals. No matter what they gained, they wouldn’t feel grateful.


    Just then, the young girl who had sold them crepes earlier approached them, Laughing sweetly. “I knew


    you two were the perfect couple! Thank you both. From now on, when you bothe to buy crepes


    from my stall, you’ll get one free!”


    Loraine was taken aback by this. But just as she was about to politely decline the kind offer, the other


    vendors started cheering.

    “So, you’re a couple. You came here on a date!”


    “Mr. Bryant, Miss Torres,e and taste the ice cream from my shop.


    You dealt with those people for us, so you’ll get one for every one you buy in the future!”


    The vendors began to vie for their attention, each one begging them toe taste their products. They


    were so many that Loraine didn’t really


    Know how to respond.


    Marco, on the other hand, had a smile on his face. Holding Loraine in his arms, he announced


    cheerfully, “Thank you all for your praise and invitations. I will cover all the purchases from every stall


    here tonight. So, just sell out and go home early.”


    This statement shocked everyone.


    Even Loraine looked at him in surprise. Had he forgotten that he was no longer the CEO of Bryant


    Group? How could he spend money sovishly?


    And moreover, how would he get the money to afford this?

    With Me Is All I Need


    To preserve Marco’s self-esteem, Loraine didn’t address the situation directly. Instead, she exined to


    the vendors, “Come on, he’s just joking. Don’t take it too seriously.”


    Hearing this, the vendorsughed it off, insisting on offering Loraine and Marco free samples.


    Loraine thanked everyone, but insisted on paying for all the food they would receive and taking only


    one portion.


    The vendors couldn’t persuade her to do otherwise, so they reluctantly epted the money. In return,


    they gave her arger portion than usual.


    Marco looked slightly stunned when he received various kinds of food.


    He nced at Loraine with a trace of grievance in his expression, as if her intervention was a form of


    bullying.


    “I wasn’t joking. I wanted to buy everything in order to help them,” he informed her.


    By now, Loraine’s hands were already full, so she quickly thanked the vendors and pulled Marco away


    from the crowd. She heard what he told her and had toe up with a smart excuse.
