"Stupid girl!" He smiled a little, his eyes flashed, the sunshine at this time was flickering, then he lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek, then he looked at her and laughed, he was so gentle, "Didn't I tell you that I will always be good to you?"
Sylvie felt her heartbeat fasten when she noticed the way he was looking at her, her face flushed, looking like a cherry blossom. Marley wanted to kiss her again, but then he looked at his watch, "Today you can rest at home, tomorrow you need to go to work with me, you don't need to do anything, just be there with me, okay?"
"Uh!" Sylvie nodded surprised.
"I will protect you all the time!" He said, he didn't want her to leave him even for a second.
"Okay!" She didn't play childish and promised him.
Marley lowered his head and wanted to kiss her again, she was so nervous that she closed her eyes.
His kiss landed on her eye.
People said, if a man kissed a woman's eye, that meant that he really fell in love with her, so that was why he would kiss her so preciously. He loved her, this made Sylvie so joyful!
Marley was still reluctant to go to work, Sylvie went upstairs alone, she listened to him and took a nap, when she got up, she turned on her computer and found her drawings from her email inbox and downloaded it to edit, then she sent it to Ryan.
Marley went back to his office, contrary to his appearance in the forenoon, he was now filled with energy, he looked really good, and was as if he had a whole pot of coffee, even his eyes were smiling.
"President, did something good happen?" Tyler asked.
"Of course! But I won't tell you for now." To protect Sylvie and to protect himself, Marley decided not to tell anyone that he would be a father soon, especially now that the problem with the press hadn't been solved yet.
His bad mood from the morning was now swept away by the news that he was going to be a father, then he said to Daria, "Daria, bring me a cup of coffee!"
"Yes!" Daria and Maisy both felt surprised, what was wrong with their president, why was he so happy?
When he was back in his office, he got a call from Jemima, he frowned a little, looked at his phone but didn't pick up.
Then he left his phone on the table and turned on the computer.
His phone was ringing for quite a while, then he received a message, "I am leaving City B for a while, I won't disturb you and your wife anymore, but can I see you one last time before I leave?"
Marley saw the message and frowned again, they had made things clear already, why did she want to see him? He already knew some things, and didn't believe that Jemima would let things go?
He hesitated for a while, and had some thoughts in his mind, when he calmed down again, he took his phone and called Jemima.
The call was almost instantly picked up, Jemima's voice was trembling, she almost couldn't believe that he was calling her, "Marley, is it you?"
"It's me!" Marley said in a deep voice, "Jemima, maybe this is the best choice for you, I wish you well, I don't think we should meet again!"
"Marley, I just want to see you." She sounded anxious, "Can't we even meet anymore, I just want to give you your stuff."
Marley frowned, then said in a deep voice, "You can throw it out, I don't want any of the stuff from before, that's it, safe trip!"
He didn't ask her where she was going and didn't even want to see her one last time, he was so heartless. He just hung up the phone like that and didn't give her a chance at all.
Jemima lowered her phone, her eyes were filled with sadness, Marley, why was your heart so cruel?
Jemima closed her eyes in pain, when she opened them again, they were filled with lowness, this was not the way a proud woman like her should feel, but she already put down all of her pride, and begged him, but he didn't want to come!
Finally, Jemima closed her eyes, which looked evil for a while, then she dialed another number...
"Where are you? Let's meet!"
"Okay!" From the other side of the line, she heard the voice of a man.
At the Hughes Group.
Marley told his secretary to call Ernie over, but when Daria went to look for Ernie, Aila told her that their vice president was out, he left 10 minutes ago.
"Tell Aila to come to me!" Marley said.
Not long after, Aila was there.
When she saw Marley, who was sitting on his chair working with all focus, her sight shook a little.
Aila gathered herself together, then said in a low voice, "President, are you looking for me?"
Marley looked up, and said in a low voice, "Where did the vice president go? Did he tell you?"
"No!" Aila said truthfully.
"Does he skip work a lot these days?"
"This..." Aila was surprised, but then she nodded truthfully, "I don't know, but he doesn't tell me where he is going, even if I asked it would be useless anyway."
She told him the truth, a person like Ernie, even if she asked, he wouldn't answer.
"Did he molest you again?"
"He..." Aila swallowed and couldn't answer, "No!"
After all, she didn't dare to say more, but her sad eyes showed her emotions, Marley frowned, he stared at her with strict eyes, "Aila, really?"
"No!" Aila held back her tears quickly, then she forced herself to smile, "President, do you need anything else?"
If Ernie knew that she told on him, he would never forgive her, so it's better if she didn't say anything at all. But, when she thought of the sweetness between Marley and Sylvie, she sighed, this man had never seen her, what was she hoping for?

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
