Beryl said in a slightly embarrassed tone, "I'm not saying I won't rely on you. I'm just afraid of bothering you while you work."
Marcellus didn't expect her to say anything specific. Hearing her words, which didn't sound like an explanation but more like a coquettish remark, his heart immediately softened. "Why be afraid? You're my girlfriend; it's normal for me to spend time with you."
His tone of "taking it for granted" made Beryl want to smile ear to ear, but she tried to sound composed, "Oh, then don't be annoyed if I cling to you in the future."
Marcellus gave a short laugh, "Oh? Will you pester me? I can't believe that..."
"Really!" Worried that he wouldn't believe her, Beryl hurriedly defended herself, "When I was little, until before I started school, I was very clingy. Because of that, my parents even sent me to live with my grandmother."
Marcellus was waiting for her to say that and immediately responded, "Okay, then I'll be looking forward to it. Don't just talk about it."
Beryl didn't realize she was being provoked; she just went along with his words. After ending the call, she began bombarding him with messages, a mix of pictures and text, truly demonstrating her "clingy" side.
Looking at her through the rearview mirror, the manager couldn't help but notice the youthful, beautiful, and shy feeling emanating from her.
He wasn't without experience in dating other women on behalf of Marcellus. There were also many celebrities and socialites, each one an extraordinary beauty that could captivate anyone's attention. However, there was none quite like Miss. Juliet, who became more and more endearing the longer you looked at her, making it hard to take your eyes off her.
