Married a Secret Billionaire

“Z, don’t blame him for having so much to say! Even I’m surprised.” Fredric chuckled. “It seems like you’re… having a good time with her?”

Marcus sobered up. Fredric had always been the level-headed one, so he would not ask something like this for no reason. There had to be a reason he was asking such a question.

He understood what Fredric meant. The lawyer was worried about him spending his time here with Cordelia and forgetting about returning to Centrolis and his actual status.

“I’m just keeping a low profile to get prepared,” Marcus replied coolly. “It’s just a roommate situation with Ms. Jenner. Nothing good or bad. I’ll be leaving one day.”

Fredric smiled and said nothing more.

Josiah glanced over at Cordelia and turned around with a grin to suggest, “Z, why don’t I… put your check on the house?”

“You?” Marcus raised a brow and thought about it. “Forget about it. Just get me a discount. Otherwise, she’ll be eating in distress.”

“Mm, that works too.” Josiah had learned his lesson. Anything Mr. Z Hamerton said was fine with him. “I’ll let them know then!”

Marcus arched a brow. “Your family owns this hotel?”
