A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2951 Then a thin wisp of smoke began to rise in front of him.

But all of a sudden, there was the sound of high heels smacking the ground outside the smoking room. This sound was quickly followed by the voice of a store clerk, “Miss Brown, we will do our best to meet Mr. Waston's requirements. It would be great if you could put in a good word for us. I know he has high regard for you.” Marcus curled his lips slightly as he listened to this.

Frankly, he was quite indifferent about such conversations. But just as he was about to ignore it, he overheard the response-a soft, sweet voice. “I'll do what I can.

The clerk shook her head and complained, “Mr. Waston just has too many female companions!” Marcus had been stunned when he heard the second voice. Nevertheless, he slowly turned around, thinking that it was just a case of someone else having a very similar voice, because he never expected her to really be here.

But to his surprise, his eyes fell on no one other than Melissa in the corridor the next second.

She wore a fitting dark suit that made her bust look slightly prominent.

Her long hair was tied loosely behind her head, accentuating her delicate face.

(Eagles) Though her facial features hadn't changed much, they now carried a different aura, no longer looking as youthful and naive as before.

Marcus, astute as ever, immediately noticed the sharp competence beneath her seemingly gentle appearance.

Their eyes caught sight of each other almost at the same time.

Melissa froze slightly, her red lips slightly parted as she stared at him in astonishment.

Time seemed to stand still.

This was a matter between adults, with ambiguity roaming in every corner of the small room, mingled with complex emotions that no one else could understand.

There were a lot of feelings swirling around, except for relief.

Even though many years had passed, they both still hadn't found closure. Now that they had met unexpectedly, even a simple polite greeting seemed difficult.

The store clerk hesitated for a moment before asking Melissa in a low voice, “Do you know Mr. Fowler?” Melissa finally regained her composure and forced a smile to her face.

“Yes, I used to be his secretary,” she explained.

“Oh,” the store clerk gasped in surprise. She now finally understood the situation. “Let me go get some cups of coffee while you and Mr. Fowler catch up.” She did not even give Melissa a chance to decline before rushing off.

But as the sound of the clerk's footsteps died away, a young woman suddenly came from nowhere and jumped into Marcus’ arms playfully.

“Marcus, this dress is not really convenient for me to move around,” she complained with a pout.

Chapter 2952 The dress in question was a light pink gown that looked very beautiful and girlish.

Violette looked really stunning in it.

But Marcus didn't even glance at her. With his arm on her shoulders, he said to the woman before him, “Long time no see, Miss Brown. This is my girlfriend, Violette Finch." Violette was surprised.

(Eagles) ‘s (Eagles) Even though they had only gone on a few dates, she had met some of his friends already, but he had never introduced her like this to anyone.

It made her very happy, and she even complained playfully, “If you had told me that we'd meet friends, I wouldn't have acted like this.” Then she extended her hand to the so-called friend and said with a smile, “Hello, Miss Brown.” Melissa felt a bit dazed as she stared at the extended hand. Marcus, on the other hand, was continuing to stare at her face.

After a moment, she finally reached out to shake Violette's hand.

Then she said with a professional smile, “Miss Finch, your dress is truly beautiful. I think it suits you well. Anyway... Mr. Fowler, I have some other work to attend to. I'l leave you two to your business.” With that, she turned and left after giving them a polite bow.

As Marcus watched her retreating figure, he couldn't help but swallow.

At this point, Violette leaned closer to him and whispered, “She looks really good! She seems smart and capable too. Marcus, won't you find me dull in comparison?” Marcus quickly turned his eyes away from Melissa when he heard this.

Sitting on the nearby sofa, he grabbed an art catalog and began flipping through it as he replied in an indifferent tone, “I prefer someone that's a bit more simple.” Violette couldn't help but feel delighted and a bit shy too.

She sat beside him and quietly asked what he was looking at. But Marcus asked her, “Aren't you supposed to be trying on dresses? Why not go and try a few more?” Exactly. In fact, she had seen several lovely ones that she really Likes.

Happy and satisfied, she skipped off, leaving Marcus seated alone on the sofa. But when she had gone far enough, he let go of the catalog.

Then he pulled out another cigarette from his pocket and tried to Light it.

But his fingers were trembling. Hence, the lighter failed several times. At the end, he sighed and tossed the cigarette aside.

Seeing Melissa had shaken him.

He pulled out his phone and called Albert. He was no fool. It didn't take him long to figure out that Albert had intentionally come to meet him at the airport.

Apparently, Melissa had been working by his side all along.

Chapter 2953 There could be no other Mr. Waston in Duefron that had many female companions; except for Albert.

“Marcus, this call is two years late!” Albert chuckled when he heard what Marcus had to say. “Hey, do men become a bit foolish when they fall in love? Otherwise, knowing how intelligent you are, you would have returned to Duefron within a month after that incident at the airport. But you didn’t. Why now? Have you encountered her now? Let me, with my wisdom and experience, tell you something-It's too late!” “Uncle Albert, you really care about me,” Marcus growled in bitter sarcasm through gritted teeth.

“It should go both ways!" Albert chuckled. “Compared to your dear father, I'm not even one-thousandth as kind! I once tried to give you a chance; but you didn't take it. How can you blame me now?" At this point, Marcus immediately hung up the phone.

Getting Melissa's number wasn't difficult for him at all. Before long, he found it. After hesitating for a while, he finally sent a few simple words. “Long time no see.” Even as Violette donned another dress and presented herself shyly, he barely gave her a glance. Violette felt a sting of neglect, yet her fondness for Marcus tempered her irritation.

She whispered to herself, resolving to keep her frustration at bay.

“Marcus, look at me! Do you like this dress?” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

At her voice, Marcus snapped back to reality and fixed his gaze on her. Truth be told, he bore no ill will towards Violette.
