Chapter: 2126
They knew how good both of them felt last night.
Of course, Cecilia didn't answer. Instead, she sank her head and fiddled with her fingers. Then, with a snort, she said, "As long as it's a man..."
"Cecilia Fowler, “he cut her off. He rarely called her by her full name.
When Cecilia looked up, Mark gently caressed her face and added, "Don't say that."
She wanted to say something in response, but he had already put down his hand and started the car.
After that, he didn't say anything more.
Judging from his demeanor, Cecilia guessed that Mark was angry. She couldn't believe that he got angry with her before she got angry with him!
So, in response to that, Cecilia crossed her arms and didn't say anything either.
When she got off the car, she slammed the door and didn't look back as she walked away.
At noon, Mark gave in first. He called her to invite her to lunch.
However, when her phone rang, Cecilia didn't answer it.
Instead, she sent him a message later on, reminding him that what had happened last night was a one-time thing only.
Mark was so infuriated by the message that he ended up throwing his phone away.
Her words earlier inside the car echoed in his mind.
"As long as it's a man..."
In the office, Peter noticed that his boss was in anguish. He gently picked up Mark's phone and placed it on his desk. Then, he began acting like a peacemaker by saying, "Last night, the two of you were so sweet. You have to be more patient with her! You see, the situation is different now. You used to be young and handsome. But now..."
Mark threw a stamp across the room before Peter could finish talking.
"What's wrong with me now?" he snapped.
Unfazed by his outburst, Peter picked up the stamp and returned it to his desk. As he did, he looked candidly at Mark and continued, "You're not as good in bed as before as time goes by. This happens to all men. I mean, just think about it. You didn't make her happy last night, did you?’
Mark leaned back in his chair and sank his head, looking deep in contemplation.
