His 181St Second (Laverne and Marina) novel Chapter 279

eing he still didn’t get an answer, Garret logged off the video call and shot Daron another message

Garret: [Did she really bite you? Was it Ms. Finley?]

Daron didn’t reply.

Garret: [You sure you can handle this, Daron? If not, want your cousin to give you some pointer?)

No sooner had he sent that than Daron’s reply popped up in the chat.

It was a photo of two marriage certificates.

The photos on the certificates showed Daron and Marina together.

Garret tapped on the image, but it failed to load.

While Garret was still puzzled, Daron had already deleted the photo.

Right below the retracted message, Daron sent another one.

Daron: [Now, do you think I can handle this?]

Garret was stunned for a moment. He’d already caught a glimpse of the thumbnail, just wanted a closer look, bur Daron deleted it way too fast.

He should’ve just taken a screenshot!

Garret: [Didn’t get a good look. Send it again.]

Daron: [I’ll get you an eye doctor, clearly your vision’s off.]

Garret: [Daron, you didn’t just photoshop that, did you?]

Daron: [Nice try, but that won’t work on me.]

Garret: […]

Marina walked into Daron’s office right as the meeting ended. As soon as she stepped inside, she caught Daron slipping something into the inner pocket of his suit jacket.

She froze for a second, a little confused, then asked, “Why are you pulling out the marriage certificates?”

Daron replied coolly, “Nothing, just checking them out.”

Marina raised an eyebrow and walked over.

“I want to check them too,” she said.

She’d just gotten her hands on the marriage certificates when Daron grabbed them right back. She hadn’t even had a chance to take a proper look.

Seeing her lean in, Daron pulled the certificates out again and spread them out for her.

But when Marina reached out to take them, he moved them out of her reach.

“Just looking, no touching,” Daron teased.

Marina huffed, “I want to see your certificate.”

Daron’s lips curled into a subtle smile as he flipped open his marriage certificate for her.

Marina lowered her head to check it out, and Daron looked down at her, unable to stop himself from smiling

“Seen enough?” he joked.

Marina nodded.

Daron tucked the marriage certificates back into the inside pocket of his suit jacket.

Just then, the intercom buzzed.

Marina walked over and answered the intercom. “Hello, Mr. Zamora’s office.”

“Hi, this is the front desk. Ms. Milner is here to see Mr. Zamora. She doesn’t have an appointment, so I wanted to check witÏD you first,” the receptionist said.

Normally, Joyce could just walk right into Daron’s office.

But recently, Daron had suddenly fired a few people from the CEO’s office, and rumor had it Joyce was involved. Now, the front desk stuck strictly to the appointment policy.

Joyce had already been waiting downstairs for half an hour and still hadn’t left. She even came by again to push them to make the call, and since they couldn’t afford to get on her bad side, they had no choice but to call.

After all, rumor had it that Joyce was the top contender to become Mrs. Zamora.

They really couldn’t afford to slack off around her.

If she actually became the CEO’s wife one day, their jobs would be hanging by a thread.

Marina glanced up at Daron and said quietly, “Hang on, let me ask him real quick.”

“Hang on, let me ask him real quick.”

“Alright, thank you,” the receptionist replied.

Marina covered the receiver, looked at Daron, and asked, “Mr. Zamora, Ms. Milner’s downstairs. Should I let her up?

Daron replied in a flat tone, “Not available.”

Marina turned back to the intercom, picked up the receiver, and said quietly, “Mr. Zamora says he’s not available right now The receptionist gave Joyce a helpless look.

Seeing the receptionist’s uneasy face, Joyce grabbed the receiver and spoke in a firm voice, “Hello, this is Joyce, I need to see Mr. Zamora.”

Marina’s tone turned cool the moment she heard Joyce’s voice.

Marina looked up at Daron and replied quietly,
