memes!
If Marco made fun of her...
While Loraine was contemplating an excuse, she noticed that Marco hadn’t responded for a while. Biting her lip,
she was genuinely exasperated.
He had initiated the conversation, and now he was giving her the silent treatment. What was going on?
Shaking her head, Loraine decided to put these thoughts aside and get back to work. That's when the revving of
a car engine disrupted the tranquility of her office. Who had the audacity to honk their car near the Universe
Group building?

Rising from her chair, she ambled to the window. Peering down, she thought she spotted Marco's black Lincoln
stationed outside the building.
Did Marco pass by?
With the phone in her grip, a thrill rippled through Loraine. Her pulse quickened.
The individual she’d been speaking to over the phone just now appeared before her. She couldn't muster any
plausible explanation.

Shouldn't they involve Davy if the new commercial district was the topic at hand...
Loraine clenched her teeth, deciding to head downstairs and seek answers. She was determined not to harbor
secrets like Marco!
Just as she was about to proceed downstairs, a knock resonated from the door.
Leaning nonchalantly against the door, Cayson flashed a gentle smile.
“Lorrie, | gather the intescandal has blown over.
Congratulations.”
Wearing a faint smile, Loraine snuck a glance out the window, responding, “I appreciate that, Cayson. And | owe
you for buffering the board's pressure.”

The silence from Universe Group during this wave of public outcry was noteworthy. The shareholders hadn't
acted up, partially due to the recent Duran issue and the circumspect behavior of the shrewd old hands. In
addition, Cayson’s support for her played a significant role.
Cayson, a hint of a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, began to approach her.
“Lorrie, Let's commemorate this satisfactory resolution with a dinner, shall we?”
Loraine hesitated at the proposal.
Detecting her reluctance, Cayson’s mood dipped. He dropped his gaze, feigning disappointment, and then
murmured, “It’s been a while since we spent quality time, Lorrie. Plus, Jennie will join us this time...”
Loraine’s resolve melted and she offered a nod in consent.
It was true, they had grown up together like siblings. They used to spend their days together, but ever since she
married into the Bryant family, the three of them hadn't been able to relish those cherished moments together.
