Chapter 73 Listen to Marissa And Stay Away From That Man
"Marissa, here it is."
Marissa was stunned for a moment. She looked at the banknotes on the table and her mind went blank for a long time. Then, she asked, "Where did they come from?"
Her first thought was to wonder who assigned that job to Caroline.
Caroline didn't think much about it. She briefly told Marissa what happened last night. After listening, Marissa frowned tightly, "It's him?"
She looked at Caroline and continued, "Callie, didn't I tell you not to get close to that man again?"
"But, he gives me money."
Those who didn't know Caroline well and had no idea about the inside stories might have taken her as a gold digger by hearing those words from her mouth.
For a moment, Marissa was speechless.
Marissa knew the situation very well. That woman in front of her brought no sense of existence. She wasn't attractive but she was very stubborn.
"Caroline, come over," Marissa looked at Caroline and felt that there might be something she had to advise her. She put her arms around Caroline's shoulders, and pulled Caroline to her side, "Listen to me. Don't get involved with this man in the future. Although I might not have seen much in the world, I have seen all kinds of men in Royal Club."
"Caroline, you have to promise me that you will not see Mr. Filocci that you mentioned again, even if he gives you money."
Caroline was silent. After a while, she raised her head and told Marissa honestly, "Marissa, I can't do that."
Marissa grabbed Caroline's shoulder and said, "Listen to me once."
Caroline shook her head firmly and said, "I'm sorry, Marissa. I can't do it. I'm short of money. Mr. Shawn said that if I can give him the 5 million dollars within a month, he won't give me hard time anymore and I will get my choice to leave or stay."
"Marissa, he means it."
"I've wasted the first half of my life with him. For the second half of my life, I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore."
Caroline didn't want to elaborate on the stories between her and Bentley since Marissa didn't ask either.
In the first half of her life, Bentley could be seen everywhere. She was afraid, tired, upset, and bored. She didn't want it for the second half of her life.
In fact, those days without Bentley weren't as difficult as she imagined.
When she was in prison for those three years, Bentley wasn't there and she still made it.
"Marissa, I know you are worried about me. I know that Mr. Filocci is very dangerous. I know it. But Marissa, do you still remember what I told you on the first day I joined the company?"
"I said, as long as people are willing to buy, I am willing to sell everything I have."
A trace of sorrow flashed on her face. Then, she raised her head and said resolutely, "So, no matter what Mr. Filocci wants me to do, no matter what his intention is. As long as I can offer, I will sell everything I could. Even if he has any special needs. I am willing to sell my body and even my remaining kidney."
She didn't know if Marissa could understand her will.
But she always treasured the little bit of caring that she could get from Marissa and she felt sorry to disappoint her.
Marissa's heart sank for no reason. She recalled the first time she heard those words from Caroline when she newly joined the company. She only thought that Caroline was just an unattractive woman who knew her limitations very well.
