Goodbye, My Love

Despite his upbringing in the affluent Bryant family, Marco was adaptable. During his early days of entrepreneurship abroad, he had rented numerous apartments ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Silently, Loraine made a quick comparison. It took her less than five minutes to drive from the Universe Group to Marco’s place. Even on foot, it wouldn’t take long. Moreover, it was quite near to her apartment.

He chose to live in such a place to be closer to her. Loraine was both touched and worried, immediately offering, “In that case, I’ll cover the cost!”

Despite having already purchased it and completed all the paperwork,

Marco hesitated.

Was Loraine’s concern primarily rooted in the belief that he was penniless?

If he revealed his position as the CEO of Solar Company, and that he now possessed more assets than the Bryant Group at its height… Would

Loraine still be so attentive?

Marco had to admit a part of him enjoyed this level of attention from

Loraine, and perhaps he was exploiting it somewhat.

With that thought, he guiltily looked away and coughed, not clarifying his actual financial situation, almost validating her belief of his poverty. “No, I can still afford it. I don’t want you to bear the cost.”

Loraine perceived his refusal as an effort to protect his pride, and hastily offered, “I’m not giving you money for nothing. You could work at the Universe Group…”

At this suggestion, Marco couldn’t help but recall Marina’s previous call. He smiled, raising an eyebrow, “Both the Bryant Group and

Universe Group wish to employ me?”

Loraine’s brows knitted.

“The Bryant Group?”

Marco revealed Marina’s proposition of making him her special assistant at a high salary.

Loraine scoffed.

“How audacious of the Bryant family!”

On further contemplation, she considered the idea of Marco helping manage the Universe Group.

“If you’re willing, it’s not off the table. I highly value your capabilities. I could appoint you as the CEO directly. I firmly believe the Universe Group will scale greater heights with you onboard.”

Seeing her earnestness, Marco burst into Laughter. He leaned in closer.

“But… I don’t want to be the CEO of the Universe Group. I just want to be your boyfriend… and husband.”
