I stared at the files for a long moment before keeping them. “Just continue investigating. I have nothing to do with them. There must be a reason for them to attack me.”
He nodded and paused briefly before adding, “Ashton seems to be investigating this matter too.”
“It involves his child after all, so it’s quite normal for him to investigate this,” I sneered.
“Let’s go. What do you want to eat?” he asked as he took his car keys.
With no particular food in mind, I stood up and answered, “Anything is fine.”
After we entered the elevator, he said, “Are you using HiTech as a stake so that you can go against the Moore family with White Corporation?”
“I can’t believe you noticed. Are you going to stop me?” I asked with a smile.
Frowning, he said, “The Moore family isn’t as simple as we think. It’s troublesome enough dealing with Cameron, let alone Zachary.”
I nodded but remained adamant about my decision. “So what? I can’t accept what happened to me.”
Marcus knew that he wouldn’t be able to change my mind no matter what he said, so he stopped talking.
Once we left the company and got into the car, he began driving without saying another word.
He always had great taste in food. When we stopped at a French restaurant, I took a glance at it before saying to him, “You should write a book about the food in K City. I think lots of people will like it.”
Marcus grinned at my words. “You’re just going to assume that they serve good food even before you start eating?”
I nodded. “This place is quite low-key, and the environment here is serene. No one would be able to find this place if they weren’t purposely looking for it. Normally, people who open up places like this don’t lack money, and their boss must be quite a sentimental person. If I’m not wrong, the chef here must be the boss.”
His lips curled into a faint smile as he locked the car. “You’re right!”
As I followed him into the yard, a waiter greeted us and brought us to the second floor. The restaurant wasn’t spacious, but there were lots of flowers and plants in the yard. It was quiet and had an artistic vibe to it.
Marcus didn’t ask what I wanted when it was time to order. Instead, he took the initiative and picked the dishes. Normally, he would choose unique dishes while making sure that they were to my liking.
I had a feeling that whoever became Marcus’s girlfriend in the future would definitely be spoiled.
This man was really good at taking care of people.
He handed the menu back to the waiter and said, “We’ll have tea, please.”
“Alright. Please wait for a moment.”
