A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2731 Pondering for a moment, Alexis responded seriously, “Perhaps Melissa is easily teased.” Similar to Laura.

However, Melissa and Laura differed in their experiences. Laura had faced numerous challenges since her childhood days, making her more mature.

On the other hand, Melissa had a soft and lively demeanor.

Alexis believed it was this particular charm that captivated Marcus.

Alexis observed the two for a moment and was confident that Marcus hadn't formally asked Melissa to be his girlfriend.

He now seemed to be only taking advantage of the poor girl in the guise of her boss.

Alexis was not inclined to pry. Even though Marcus was her brother, she refrained from meddling in his personal affairs.

(thanoss.com) Intervening could potentially drive the timid secretary away, and Alexis wanted to avoid that.

Although Alexis had no intention of greeting Marcus, he spotted her.

Rising from his seat, he approached her, taking a couple of steps.

However, he seemed to overlook his secretary. He then turned around, assuming a superior demeanor. “Come with me over there.” Melissa had been attending to Marcus for a while before finally taking a small bite of steak.

The same serving with which Marcus expressed his displeasure and instructed her to eat.

Melissa was hungry and started eating.

She wouldn't dare offend her boss due to the generous paycheck and favorable treatment from the Fowler Group.

In truth, Melissa was uncertain why Marcus had invited her to join him. She was aware of Alexis, Marcus's elder sister, and beside her was Edwin's wife.

“Alexis!” Seated calmly beside Alexis, Marcus acknowledged Laura with a nod before turning to his secretary.

Melissa experienced a sense of unease.

Following a moment of contemplation, she softly uttered, “Hello, Miss Fowler, Mrs. Evans." Marcus expressed dissatisfaction, stating, “Calling them that sounds too formal. Think of something else.” Melissa found herself at a loss for words.

With a smirk, Marcus lifted his chin slightly and instructed, “Address them by their names.”

Chapter 2732 Melissa hesitated to address them in that manner.

She felt she wasn't on the same level as Alexis and Laura.

Melissa came from an ordinary family. After graduating, she felt she was already lucky to secure a good job. She genuinely believed that Marcus didn't need to introduce her to his family even when they ran into each other in a restaurant by chance.

Following a period of silence from Melissa, Marcus grew impatient.

“Your salary is going to be deducted.” Hastily, Melissa addressed, “Alexis, Laura." Laura offered a shy smile.

Alexis let out a slight sigh. “Marcus, don't treat girls this way.” Despite being 27 years old, he remained assertive in pursuing a girl.

Evidently, he had an interest in Melissa.

Alexis reassured Melissa gently, “This isn't his usual behavior. He's typically a gentleman.” Melissa discreetly glanced at Marcus.

AngelasLibrary His expression appeared to be even colder than before.

Marcus had no intention of having lunch with Alexis. He merely approached and conveyed, “Dad heard about you and Leonel getting married. He mentioned that you should return for dinner when you have the time. Don't be so secretive, as if your marriage is something to be ashamed of” Alexis snorted.

Lifting his chin slightly, Marcus gestured for Melissa to return to her seat and resume eating. He exerted dominance and displayed pickiness in various matters.

Laura had long forgotten the initial purpose of the meal and couldn't resist commenting, “It appears that Marcus has a strong liking for Melissa.” Alexis smiled. “This is the first time I've seen him act this way." Generally, Marcus showed little interest in girls. However, he was raised right to be an gentleman, refraining from picking on girls as he was currently doing to Melissa.

Alexis refrained from probing further. After all, the situation was still unclear. She intended to address it when Marcus decided to take Melissa home to meet his family.

Following lunch with Laura, Alexis returned to the law firm.

Upon entering the office, Alexis’ secretary arrived with a document in hand. “Miss Fowler, there's a complex case in Heron. It poses significant challenges, and Milo may struggle to manage it.” Alexis accepted the document and perused its contents.

A slight frown formed on her face. The situation appeared to be genuinely troublesome.

Chapter 2733 Additionally, this case entailed a substantial sum of money, and if lost, it could significantly impact the law firm's reputation, especially under favorable circumstances.

Alexis made the decision to travel to Heron in person.

Naturally, she anticipated that informing Leonel about it in the evening would likely lead to his displeasure.

Leaving Evelyn with Leonel might put him in a better mood.

Alexis departed from the law firm at four oclock in the afternoon.
