Chapter 1440 Waiting for You to Pester Me

Beryl said in a slightly embarrassed tone, "I'm not saying I won't rely on you. I'm just afraid of bothering you while you work."

Marcellus didn't expect her to say anything specific. Hearing her words, which didn't sound like an explanation but more like a coquettish remark, his heart immediately softened. "Why be afraid? You're my girlfriend; it's normal for me to spend time with you."

His tone of "taking it for granted" made Beryl want to smile ear to ear, but she tried to sound composed, "Oh, then don't be annoyed if I cling to you in the future."

Marcellus gave a short laugh, "Oh? Will you pester me? I can't believe that..."

"Really!" Worried that he wouldn't believe her, Beryl hurriedly defended herself, "When I was little, until before I started school, I was very clingy. Because of that, my parents even sent me to live with my grandmother."

Marcellus was waiting for her to say that and immediately responded, "Okay, then I'll be looking forward to it. Don't just talk about it."

Beryl didn't realize she was being provoked; she just went along with his words. After ending the call, she began bombarding him with messages, a mix of pictures and text, truly demonstrating her "clingy" side Looking at her through the rearview mirror, the manager couldn't help but notice the youthful, beautiful, and shy feeling emanating from her.

He wasn't without experience in dating other women on behalf of Marcellus. There were also many celebrities and socialites, each one an extraordinary beauty that could captivate anyone's attention. However there was none quite like Miss. Juliet, who became more and more endearing the longer you looked at her, making it hard to take your eyes off her.

While strikingly beautiful individuals were common in his circles, the one thing that truly attracted others was that unique, kind-hearted quality and charisma that she possessed.

"Miss. Juliet, Mr. Perkins really likes you," the manager sincerely remarked.

Beryl shifted her gaze from the phone screen and looked at the back of the manager's head, a little caught off guard. "Why do you say that?"

"I've never seen Mr. Perkins so devoted to anyone before. In fact, he often mentions you. People in the company can feel how much he values you."

His words made Beryl feel a bit shy, and she raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear, "It's, it's not that serious."

"It's true. We've never seen Mr. Perkins be so lenient with anyone else." Let alone someone begging to cling to him. Back then, he was with a popular actress.

They were together for at most three months. When they broke up, the other party didn't agree and resorted to media hype as a means of coercion. Marcellus didn't say a word, but the very next day, he approached her company and directly had them ban her from working for a year and a half. It wasn't until this year that she gradually returned to filming.

Those women usually try to attach themselves to Marcellus, and there aren't many ways to anger him. The only surefire way is to pester him relentlessly.

That was his taboo. No matter what their relationship was like before, for him, emotions had always been about mutual benefit. So, there was no need to cling to the past. Once he decided to break up, it was truly over, and anyone causing trouble or refusing to let go wouldn't get any leniency from him.

But facing Beryl, he was like a completely different person. All the patience he had accumulated over the past thirty-plus years burst forth. He had an urgent desire to give her the best of everything, a sense of urgency that even his subordinates could feel.
