Even in casual attire, his good looks left a favorable impression on her. She hadn't anticipated him to be so youthful and promising.

Unable to resist her curiosity, she inquired, "Who was that? Mrs. Fowler?"

In truth, she was aware Melissa wasn't Marcus' spouse.

If she were, she wouldn't address him as Mr. Fowler.

Marcus paused for a moment.

He glanced at the female star beside him, Mina Wright. If Sylvia hadn't jogged his memory, he would have forgotten her name.

The vice president seemed quite fond of Mina and was keen on making her the face of the company. Since the vice president was senior to Marcus and he even brought Mina to meet them in person, Marcus found it hard to decline his suggestion.

Yet, the woman overstepped by meddling in Marcus's personal life.

Taking his time, Marcus approached the golf ball and expertly sent it rolling into the hole.

The people around him were quick to shower him with compliments.

Holding the golf club, Marcus responded to Mina's inquiry, "She's my son's mother. Oh, Miss Wright, are you perhaps expecting and Looking for tips on how to be a good mother?"

Mina's cheeks turned red.

She was quick to pick up on the irritation in his tone. His feigned ignorance was a way to embarrass her. Used to praise, this was new territory for her. Despite the interest from her many wealthy suitors, none matched Marcus’ allure.

His elusive nature only seemed to increase his appeal.

Annoyed yet resilient, Mina chose to play dumb. She ran her fingers through her hair flirtatiously and replied, "Mr. Fowler, stop teasing me. I'm still single."

It was clear to everyone she was attempting to charm him.

Marcus, however, simply acknowledged her words with a nod and went back to his game, treating the golf ball as if it were the center of his universe. Mina's efforts to draw his attention were in vain.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Mina decided to back off.

Meanwhile, the coach took Melissa to a different court.

Melissa had never played golf before, so she was starting from the very beginning.
