I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 234

Continuing to freeze him out at work just didn't make sense anymore.

"I understand."

Lyra poured Marcus another cup of tea.

"However, my boundary is that outside of work, we have absolutely zero contact. Does that work for you?"

She had made her terms crystal clear; the ball was in his court.

"Are you really not going to give me even a sliver of a chance?"

Marcus looked at her with an exaggerated, puppy-dog expression.

Lyra completely ignored the act.

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

Marcus stiffened for a second before bursting into laughter. "Alright, message received. In that case, I won't waste any more time. Let's get down to business and go over the project updates."

For a long time after that, Lyra and Marcus kept the conversation strictly professional.

At first, he seemed clearly distracted.

But as time went on, he seemed to hit his stride.

Lyra even caught glimpses of the old Marcus.

The golden boy of the Sterling family, the one his grandfather used to parade around with pride.

It was late by the time Marcus finally left.

Right around closing time, he swaggered out of the Lennox building, drawing plenty of stares along the way.

Lyra didn't let it bother her.

She assumed that after today, he'd stop dropping by unannounced.
