A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2971-2980

Chapter 2971 With his piercing gaze fixed on her, Marcus asserted, “Well, if you decline my offer, I don’t mind seeking out Albert and proposing to borrow you for a few days. I believe hed be willing to exchange a secretary for a project worth ten billion.” “You audacious bastard!" Melissa cursed.

Marcus gestured toward the sofa. “Have a seat and watch some TV. I'm heading to the kitchen. We've got some mutton chops, your favorite,” he announced.

He softened his tone, averting his gaze. “Trust me, you'll enjoy it,” he assured her.

Melissa felt a pang of sadness at his words.

She sat on the sofa, unable to focus on the TV. It all felt surreal to her.

She swiftly retrieved her mobile phone and dialed Albert's number, simultaneously sending messages to her subordinates. Engrossed in her tasks, she processed paperwork using her phone. In truth, she refused to be idle, purposely avoiding thoughts of Marcus to the point of momentarily forgetting her surroundings.

Despite her efforts, memories of their past flooded back.

(Eagles) ‘s (Eagles) Marcus poured her a glass of milk.

He then disappeared into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

The mutton chops were expertly roasted in the oven, perfectly seasoned to capture the essence of authentic French cuisine.

Alongside, an array of other dishes adorned the table, each equally enticing in appearance.

Marcus, while serving the dishes, maintained his noble and elegant demeanor.

“Dinner’s served!” He announced it loudly.

Seated at the table, Melissa glanced at her watch, which was from a famous brand but only the basic model.

Marcus glanced at her watch. “Aren't you well compensated by Albert?” Melissa responded calmly, “It's not about the money. I'm content as long as I can keep track of time.” Marcus served her a mutton chop, his tone gentle. “How have you been these past three years?” Before Melissa could respond, he interjected with self-deprecation, “Of course, you must've thrived these past years.” Melissa replied casually, “Yes, not too shabby! I don't plan on changing anything” Marcus’ gaze lingered on Melissa, noting her changed appearance and enhanced allure. Abruptly, he sneered. “Are you afraid I'l pester you?” “Certainly not. I trust someone like Mr. Fowler wouldn't stoop to such levels.” “But what if you're mistaken? What if I simply want you back?" Marcus paused, and then continued, “You're single, aren't you? Why not stay with me?”

Chapter 2972 Marcus reached for a cigarette from the nearby box.

Lighting the cigarette, he took a drag. “I'll transfer this apartment to your name,” he declared.

Situated in the heart of Duefron, this apartment spanned a vast area and easily boasted a value exceeding one hundred million. Marcus’ held undeniable allure for its proposition anyone considering substantial worth.

However, Melissa declined.

Instead, she poured the entire glass of juice over Marcus’ face, the sticky Liquid trickling down his handsome features and leaving him visibly flustered.

Marcus shot her a glare.

With a cold smile, Melissa retorted, “Mr. Fowler, kindly keep both the money and the house for yourself, and perhaps consider seeking medical advice to ensure you're not afflicted with some form of hypersexual disorder.” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

After her declaration, Melissa grabbed her coat, ready to depart.

She hastened her pace, unable to bear another moment there. The man before her had shattered her heart, and his recent words obliterated what little beauty remained in her recollections.

Meanwhile, Marcus cleaned the juice from his face, and rose to his feet.

Just as Melissa reached for the doorknob, she felt a warmth envelop her; Marcus’ body pressed against hers, his hand gently covering hers.

In araspy tone, he inquired, “Are you upset?” In that moment, Melissa realized resistance was futile.

(Eagles) ‘s (Eagles) Resigned, she replied icily, “What are you doing, Mr. Fowler? If you require assistance so urgently, I actually have some girls on call.” At her words, Marcus drew closer, their bodies almost merging, the warmth of his breath on her skin. Within his embrace, Melissa could sense the strength of his chest.

Eventually, Marcus released her.

His voice tinged with a chill as he said, “Your years as Albert's secretary have made you quite attentive, Miss Brown. But don't fret; I'm perfectly capable of looking after myself.” “That's reassuring,” Melissa responded, turning to face him. “Now that we've shared a meal, may I take my leave, Mr. Fowler?” Marcus responded not with words but with a gesture signaling she could go.

Melissa grabbed her briefcase, opened the door, and hurried out.

She made her way to the elevator and descended to the ground floor.

A security guard stationed at the building's entrance noticed her arrival and approached with a polite greeting. “Hello, Miss Brown!" At his greeting, Melissa paused in her tracks.

Chapter 2973 The security guard, who had shared a smoke with Marcus, greeted Melissa with excitement. “Miss Brown, have you and Mr. Fowler reconciled? After you left, Mr. Fowler specifically asked about you.

You had just vanished though! Seeing you together again is wonderful.

I'm really happy for both of you!” Melissa was taken aback by his words.

(Eagles) After a moment, she replied coolly, “We haven't reconciled.” The security guard was taken aback by her response. If they weren't together, why was she here? He wanted to say more, but Melissa had already left the building.

“Wait, it's raining outside!” he called after her.

Melissa was well aware of the rain and knew hailing a cab in this weather would be difficult, but she was determined to Leave.

She had managed to leave once before, three years ago; she was confident she could do it again.

Meanwhile, the rain showed no signs of stopping.

It was getting late, and the streetlights cast their glow on the wet pavement.

Melissa walked on, her coat and handbag soaked through. Her pace quickened, and although her high heels were causing her feet to bleed, she felt numb to the pain.

Suddenly, a white Bentley pulled up quietly beside her and stopped.

Marcus stepped out and looked at her silently for a moment before swiftly walking over.

Draping a black overcoat over her shoulders, he said firmly, “Get in the car.” Melissa, however, paid him no mind.
