Chapter: 3411
“Dinner's served!" He announced it loudly.
Seated at the table, Melissa glanced at her watch, which was from a famous brand but only the basic model.
Marcus glanced at her watch. “Aren't you well compensated by Albert?"
Melissa responded calmly, “It's not about the money. I'm content as long as I can keep track of time."
Marcus served her a mutton chop, his tone gentle. "How have you been these past three years?"
Before Melissa could respond, he interjected with self-deprecation, “Of course, you must've thrived these past years."
Melissa replied casually, "Yes, not too shabby! I don't plan on changing anything."
Marcus' gaze lingered on Melissa, noting her changed appearance and enhanced allure. Abruptly, he sneered. "Are you afraid I'll pester you?"
"Certainly not. I trust someone like Mr. Fowler wouldn't stoop to such levels."
“But what if you're mistaken? What if I simply want you back?"
Marcus paused, and then continued, “You're single, aren't you? Why not stay with me?"
Marcus reached for a cigarette from the nearby box.
Lighting the cigarette, he took a drag. “I'll transfer this apartment to your name," he declared.
Situated in the heart of Duefron, this apartment spanned a vast area and easily boasted a value exceeding one hundred million. Marcus' held undeniable allure for its proposition anyone considering substantial worth.
However, Melissa declined.
Instead, she poured the entire glass of juice over Marcus’ face, the sticky Liquid trickling down his handsome features and leaving him visibly flustered.
Marcus shot her a glare.
With a cold smile, Melissa retorted, "Mr. Fowler, kindly keep both the money and the house for yourself, and perhaps consider seeking medical advice to ensure you're not afflicted with some form of hypersexual disorder."
After her declaration, Melissa grabbed her coat, ready to depart.
She hastened her pace, unable to bear another moment there. The man before her had shattered her heart, and his recent words obliterated what little beauty remained in her recollections.
