Seeing the current situation, she became even more conscious of his emotions. She approached him


    with aposed expression and tried to act as natural as possible.


    On this asion, Marco wasn’t formally dressed. His overall style leaned more towards casual, and he


    had a smile on his face. He had transformed from an unapproachable and ruthless CEO to someone


    that was easygoing and rtable.


    Loraine couldn’t help but chuckle internally. But outwardly, she carefully chose her words. “It seems the


    Maybach is a bit slow. I have a few sports cars sitting in my garage, and they’re all in good condition.


    How about you drive one of those?”


    Knowing how snobbish some members of the Bryant Group could be, she felt that Marco couldn’t


    afford to be seen driving such an old car around, lest he be the target of ridicule and sarcasm.


    Marco himself seemed to understand her consideration and his smile deepened slightly. He didn’t say


    anything. He simply leaned forward to open the passenger door and invited her in.


    Loraine didn’t try to persuade him any further. With a shrug and a sigh, she stepped into the car.


    But just then, Marco whispered softly into her ear, “Loraine, this seat is reserved exclusively for you.”


    Loraine was taken aback by his words.


    The seat was beside the driver’s, clearly meant for his spouse.


    Loraine couldn’t help but blush at this realization. But seeing theck of wear and tear on the seat, she


    subconsciously asked, “Hasn’t anyone ever sat in this seat before?”


    “Never,” Marco said firmly.


    “Loraine, this car holds great significance to me. You’re not only the first person to sit in this seat, but


    you’re also the first person I’ll be picking up in this car.”


    “Why?” Loraine asked, her heart already racing.


    Marco smiled, “Because I bought this car for myself alone when I first took over Bryant Group and won


    my first major deal. When they took all my assets and properties, only this car was left.”


    When Marco arrived from abroad, Bryant Group was on the verge of going bankrupt. Everyone thought


    he was a newbie and no one thought highly of him. But eventually, he proved them wrong. After


    achieving the supposedly impossible feat of saving thepany, he bought himself a car to celebrate.


    Though the Maybach Later became very old, he kept it well maintained because of its symbolic


    significance.

    Loraine’s heart raced faster and faster. She felt his words were more moving than any sweet talk she


    had ever heard in her life.


    Clearly, he had made sure that she was the first and only person to share with him something of such


    extraordinary importance. This touched her deeply.


    Meanwhile, Marco got into the car from the driver side and leaned over to fasten her seatbelt. Loraine’s


    breath hitched, her face flushedpletely, and her hands nervously gripped the seat as she


    stammered,

    “I… I can do it myself.”


    Despite her words, she did not offer any resistance to Marco’s proximity. She was only shy.


    Marco looked at her blushing face and intentionally leaned in closer, his warm breath caressing her ear.


    “Last night, you mentioned that you spent 6@ million dors to get me. Since I’m yours now, isn’t it


    normal for me to help fasten your seatbelt?”


    Loraine stared at him with wide eyes, her breath caught in her throat.
