A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2981 Jessie stood there, completely shocked.

Holding her cheek, she looked at Melissa in disbelief and exclaimed, “You had the nerve to slap me? Aren't you scared I'll get Albert to fire you? You and your bastard child will end up begging on the streets!” “What gibberish are you even saying, Jessie?” Suddenly, Albert entered the room, moved Jessie aside, and said in a cold voice, “Enough with this nonsense!” Jessie clenched her teeth and asked defiantly, “Was I wrong in what I said?” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

Eagles.

Albert gave Jessie a stern look and was about to slap her as well.

But Melissa intervened before Albert could act.

Her face drained of color as she fixed Jessie with a cold glare and said, “Yes, I'm the child born out of wedlock. Did I have a say in it? And now I'm indeed raising Matthew alone, but so what? I've never got into other people's relationships or forsaken my child.

What gives you the right to see us as less than you? Jessie, being one of Mr. Waston's lovers, do you really see yourself as my superior?” Ordinarily, Melissa avoided confrontations.

But Jessie's insult towards Matthew was something she couldn't tolerate. Her son was still young and so innocent, so she wouldn't let anyone denigrate him.

Jessie seethed with fury upon hearing Melissa's retort.

Meanwhile, Albert was visibly embarrassed and urged Jessie to Leave.

He cast a significant glance at Melissa before they left.

In that moment, Melissa realized she might have gone too far.

With a voice roughened by emotion, she offered an apology. To her astonishment, Albert responded with a detached tone, “Actually, I'm also an illegitimate child!” This confession silenced Jessie's fury.

She was scared that Albert would be angry at her.

Once inside Albert's office, she attempted to mollify him with affection. She climbed into his lap to seek a ki*s as she was aware of his penchant for thrills such as making out in the office.

But Albert was not in the mood.

Seeing his disinterest, Jessie reluctantly moved to occupy herself with her phone, leaving a tense silence hanging between them.

Eventually, unable to bear the silence, Jessie said, “Fine! I won't bother Melissa again! She's just a secretary, after all. Why does she matter so much to you?" But Albert paid no attention to her words.

Chapter 2982 Soon, the receptionist called the internal Line.

She said in a pleasant voice, “Mr. Waston, the president of Fowler Group is here. Are you ready to meet him now?" Marcus was paying him a visit? Albert couldn't help but smile. “Yes, please bring Mr. Fowler to my office.” In just a couple of minutes, Marcus took a private elevator to come up.

He was good-looking and held a prestigious position, making him the dream of many women working at Waston Group. However, none dared to approach him, because they were aware that he was already in a relationship.

Melissa's office was located right beside the CEO's office.

The office had walls made of glass that stretched from the floor to the ceiling. This allowed anyone to see inside when the blinds were lifted.

As Marcus walked through the hallway, he saw Melissa inside her office.

She had caught a cold from being out in the rain and had felt unwell since the morning. Now, she was running a fever.

She had fallen asleep on her desk.

(Eagles) Her face looked delicate and slightly pale, but there was a hint of blush on her cheeks. Her dark hair draped over her shoulders which added to her charm.

From where Marcus stood, he could even glimpse her collarbones.

She looked especially slender at that moment.

He couldn't help but recall how gentle and soft Melissa felt when she was on top of him, and the way she looked when she was glistening with sweat...

These thoughts made Marcus stir unintentionally.

He was uncertain about how to interact with Melissa in the days ahead, but he couldn't shake off his deep yearning for her. Marcus hadn't been intimate with any woman other than Melissa.

His desire made him feel tense all over.

Eventually, he made his way into her office.

Melissa's desk was cluttered with various items, including business cards from car dealerships, booklets from jewelry stores, and brochures from day care facilities and kindergartens.

Marcus touched her desk lightly.

It was like he was taking a glimpse into Melissa's world.

Suddenly, Melissa snapped awake.

But she was still groggy, unsure if it was morning or afternoon, or if the figure before her was real or just a figment of her imagination. She stared at him and whispered his name, “Marcus?”

Chapter 2983 Marcus was leisurely looking at the brochures scattered on her desk.

He then turned to her and asked, “Albert has a child? Are you telling me you even pick out diapers for his child?” Confused, Melissa looked where he was pointing.

She had been sorting through options for a school for Matthew, but now those efforts felt pointless. As she had resolved to return to Heron soon.

She tapped her cheeks lightly to clear her mind, then asked, “Did you come to see Mr. Waston?" Marcus didn't reply right away but just stared at her quietly.

After a moment, he simply nodded and left her office...

Melissa was still trying to gather her thoughts when her desk phone rang. She answered immediately and heard Albert's voice. “Melissa, could you bring two cups of coffee to my office? It's been awhile since I've caught up with Marcus. Why don't you join us as well?” Albert had put her on speaker.

Feeling unwell and now irritated by Jessie and Albert's actions, Melissa was far from pleased.

She wished she could settle the score with them.
