Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Marina stared at the words for a moment. Then, with a slip of her slender fingers, she gave a simple reply.

[Yes.]

[Then, I’ll see you at the same old place. I’ll be waiting for you there!] This time, the other party sent a quick reply.

And she seemed to be in a very good mood.

Marina put her phone away and rose to her feet.

“Marina, are you going out now?” As soon as Peter saw Marina acting like this, his heart tickled.

“Are you done with your business already?” Marina gave him a look with her cold eyes.

“Well… not yet.” Peter’s voice was lowered a bit.

“Then, why are you asking this?” The coldness in Marina’s eyes deepened.

“I get it. I’ll stay at the company and do my job.” Peter’s head drooped.

With a serious face, he started flipping through the documents in front of him.

He looked like a wild wolf cub who had been tamed into a family dog.

However, his look might be able to fool the others but not Marina.

“Oscar, you stay here,” Marina instructed.

“Yes!” Oscar immediately answered.

Peter heard the words but felt a little uneasy.

If Oscar stayed, how could he manage to slack off?

“Marina, you only brought Lee and Oscar. You’re not familiar with Solemwood. Let them come with you, so I can feel more at ease.” Peter tried to sound concerned as her older brother.

Marina threw him a glance before she instructed Oscar again.

“If he dares to run away or be lazy at work, break his legs for me!”

“Yes!” Oscar answered loudly.

Peter was speechless.

“Marina, there’s no need for you to go this far, right?” Peter looked at Marina with a look of negotiation.

However, Marina didn’t even spare him a look back at him. She turned around and walked out with Lee.

“Marina…” Peter wanted to chase after her, but Oscar was staring at him with a burning gaze.

Peter suddenly felt a little pain in his knees.

He then picked up the document in front of him again and read it with immense attention.

Oscar and the others treated Marina’s words as if they were holy orders.

Although he was considered something of a master, they were not the ones who would understand the ways

of the world.

He had to be responsible for his own mistakes.

Peter had to accept the fact that he was an employee of the company.

After Marina came out of the company, she gave Lee an address.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a private club.

“Just wait for me outside,” Marina ordered and got out of the car.

The person she was going to meet was not quite suitable for her to take Lee with her.

The woman had the guts of a chicken at best. Lee and the others gave off too much pressure, which would probably scare her out of her wits and make her unable her to speak fluently.

“Yes!” Lee was a little worried, but looking at Marina’s determined look, he knew it was useless to say anything. So, he answered in a low voice at once.

As soon as Marina entered the clubhouse, she saw the familiar figure sitting in the lobby by the window.

It was a girl who looked very shy.

She wore thick bangs and old-fashioned black-framed glasses.

She had obviously been an adult for a long time but was still wearing a T-shirt and jeans from her student days.

She kept looking at the door since she arrived there, and when she saw Marina enter, she was stunned for a

moment.

Marina immediately took a step toward her and walked over.

She then sat down opposite her.

Jessica was still looking at Marina with a dumbfounded look on her face and didn’t come back to her senses

at all.

“What? Do I look so pretty to you?” Marina raised her eyebrows slightly, and there was a bit of flirtation in her

tone.
