Marcus was the only one who could help Jessie.

Albert added nonchalantly, "I tried, but she turned me down! Melissa...

You're the one I trust most. So don't let me down!"

A pang of sadness hit Melissa.

After years of working with Albert, she knew him fairly well...

He must have regretted his actions!

But there was no going back.

After a few more words, Albert said, "That's all! Head inside before that guy gets jealous again! I'll head back to Heron later. Holler if you need anything."

Clutching the files, Melissa nodded after a moment, and then exited the car.

As she watched Albert drive off, she sighed.

Suddenly, a slim figure appeared beside her. He spoke with a hint of coldness. “Aren't you reluctant to leave him? How about hopping back to Heron with him?"

Melissa snapped back to reality upon hearing his voice.

She glanced at Marcus, brushing off his sarcasm.

But Marcus wasn't about to let her off easy. "So, your car broke down? Did you enjoy your ride with Mr. Watson?"

Clearly, Marcus was feeling jealous.

After years of dealing with him, Melissa knew how to handle him. She lifted her head and said softly, "Well, it's not as cushy as riding in your car!"

Marcus locked eyes with her.

After a moment, he leaned in close and murmured in her ear, "I really want to fuck you right now!"

Melissa blushed, chiding him for being crude in public.

Approaching the black phantom, Marcus opened the door for her, sneering. “But you like it when I talk dirty, don't you? Perhaps let me refresh your memory, Miss Brown.”
