Chapter 403
He replied, “The signing ceremony. What is it?”
Worried that I was disturbing, I murmured, “Nothing, just calling for no particular reason. I’ll call you back later.”
Before I ended the call, he added, “It’s no problem at all. Go ahead, I’m listening.”
“Can you get me a new set of clothes? I’m going out to meet a friend.”
“Sure,” he answered before hesitating a moment. “Who are you going out with?”
“Someone I met on the plane. You don’t know her but don’t worry. I will be careful.”
After a brief silence, he replied, “Alright, remember to drop me a message when you go out. Also, send me the address so that I can pick you up.”
I grunted in acknowledgment and ended the call.
Not long after, someone knocked on the room door. It was Joseph.
His expression was as icy as usual. When he saw me open the door, he explained, “Mrs. Fuller, Mr. Fuller had me bring these clothes for you.”
I nodded and received them. “Thank you!”
He left after acknowledging my thanks.
Back in the room, I got myself changed.
Soon, Camelia gave me a call, informing me that she was in the hotel lobby.
Once I was ready, I headed downstairs where I was stunned to see a black Bentley parked at the hotel entrance.
As the window went down, I saw Marcus coldly looking in my direction.
Feeling familiar and distant at the same time, I wondered if he was the same Marcus that I knew.
“Scarlett!” Camelia who was sitting at the front passenger seat called out. “Quick, get in!”
After regaining my senses, I got into the car.
“What were you spacing out for? You didn’t respond to my repeated calls.” Camelia turned to the man beside her and introduced, “This is my fiancé, Marcus White. On my way to see you, he coincidentally finished work. I hope you don’t mind him
joining us?”
Still gaping from the shock just now, I shook my head. “No… Not at all.”
The moment I saw Marcus, I suppressed the burning questions I had as Camelia was present.
At the restaurant.
Camelia seemed to be in a good mood. She held Marcus’ hand and suggested, “Marcus, why don’t you order? I always enjoy whatever you choose.”
