Goodbye, My Love

She was soon invited to an important business dinner.

Not only did the guest list include wealthy businessmen, celebrities and elites from all walks of life, but a number of government officials, too. It was a lively scene.

Loraine had come on her own. She wore a white dress, which was a classic choice. With her brown hair coiled up on top of her head, revealing her slim neck, she looked smart and elegant.

As soon as she arrived, everyone’s head turned in her direction.

Even at a distance, Marco could see her across the crowd.

As the CEO of Bryant Group, he stood among the guests.

Loraine noticed Marco’s presence too, but she was trying to avoid any contact with him.

Marco was not about to let her get away that easily. Taking the initiative, he walked over to Loraine.

In such a confined space, it was inevitable that they’d meet. Loraine had nowhere to hide.

Noticing that Loraine was alone, Marco frowned.

“Loraine, this business dinner isn’t as simple as you think. The guests come from different backgrounds. It’s risky to attend an event Like this on your own; you need a male companion. I can accompany you, if you Like.”

Marco had a thorough understanding of the business circle. A good-looking and capable woman like Loraine, with no background, was likely to become prey to malicious male counterparts

He would never Let such a thing happen to Loraine.

Marco stood so close that Loraine could smell his cologne. She instinctively took a step back, trying to keep some distance between them.

Marco’s words were annoyingly patronizing

How could he look down on her like this?

Was it simply because she was a woman? So what if she was on her own?

Loraine rejected him indifferently.

“No, thanks. I can look after myself just fine. I’ve been on my own all this time without any help from you.” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

And with that, she left.

Marco stared after her. He was miffed.

How could she be so stubborn? Was it really necessary for her to push him away so resolutely?

Thirty minutes after her encounter with Marco, Loraine was beginning to feel bored.
