"Hello?" When the phone was connected, she asked softly.
On the other end, Marcellus was still in the office. This was the first time he had come to the place since he took over the family business, but his mood was completely different.
Hearing the soft voice in his ear, the tense expression on the man's face immediately relaxed a little. "You haven't slept yet?"
Beryl swallowed her saliva. Afraid that he would see through her, she did not dare to show it too obviously. "Yes, I was chatting with my roommates just now."
In fact, it was not a chat. It was purely because of the scandal that she couldn't fall asleep.
Marcellus knew the reason why she wasn't asleep, but he didn't expose her. Instead, he changed the topic and asked, "Did you see the news?"
When he suddenly mentioned it, Beryl was a little surprised. She didn't know if it was because she had been looking at it for too long, but the picture of the two of them walking arm in arm immediately appeared in her mind.
With a lump in her throat, she suppressed it and said, "I saw it."
Her voice was low, full of grievance and disappointment.
Marcellus's heart tightened. Ever since the news was released, he had been hesitating about how to explain it to her.
Thinking of her reaction and attitude before, he decided to wait for her call, but there was no message from her.
It was not until late at night that Marcellus couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to call her.
It was not that he didn't struggle in his heart. There were many things that he hadn't finished to explain to her clearly. It was better not to explain it clearly, so he had to give a seemingly reasonable reason.
