With a small grin, Melissa replied, “As long as I don't disappoint."

After hanging up, Melissa was in high spirits.

Then, Marcus rang her. He sounded peeved.

“Why haven't you come yet?"

Melissa checked the time; it was already five.

She apologized to Marcus, "Sorry, I got held up. How about we reschedule?"

Marcus' voice dropped as he replied, "You know what? If you let me have you tonight, we'll reschedule this to next time."

Melissa was both shocked by Marcus' words.

She could hardly believe her ears that he had said such words publicly.

Moreover, she knew she was Marcus' only woman throughout the years, so he shouldn't have been this smooth in flirting, right? So how could he speak in such a wild manner?

But since Melissa was in a good mood, she replied with a snort, "Just wait and see."

This response did not annoy Marcus.

Instead, he said offhandedly, “Come on over. We can still play a few rounds before we lose the light."

Melissa didn't say no.

But since she didn't want to go with him alone, she took her secretary with her in the company car.

By now, the twilight was beginning to approach, but the scenery still looked marvelous and the evening breeze felt cool on everyone's skin.

Hence, Melissa changed into sportswear and a loose jacket before beginning the journey. When they arrived at their destination, she pulled off the jacket and handed it to her secretary before grabbing the golf club.

To her surprise, eight people were also present at the golf course with Marcus.

All of them were senior executives of Fowler Group.

What was most surprising to Melissa was that among them was an old acquaintance of hers, Ryan. She couldn't comprehend why Marcus had allowed Ryan to keep working for him since he didn't like him very much. He had even recently promoted Ryan to the position of manager and now, he had allowed him to come to the golf course.
