Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 1122

Marco wasn't concerned with Carl's thoughts, as his primary focus was on Loraine.

It had been two days since Loraine had reached out to Marco. The silence was making him edgy. Although his intention was to discuss business, he found himself shaving off bits of his original text. He repeatedly reviewed his message before finally hitting send.

But to his dismay, his message bounced back, marked with a glaring red exclamation.

Marco's expression soured as he stared at the screen, "The message was sent but rejected." He felt a twinge in his chest at the sight.

Loraine had blocked him!

Carl failed to suppress his amusement and chuckled.

His amusement was met with a frosty glare from Marco, whose face was now etched with disappointment and frustration.

In an attempt to lighten the mood, Carl offered up his mobile to Marco, stating, "Mr. Bryant, Loraine hasn't blocked my work number."

His phone screen showed a recently forwarded message to Loraine.

"Miss

Torres, let's discuss the partnership with the Cheap and Fine Group.

Can we schedule a meeting for tomorrow?"

"Yes," came Loraine's response.

Marco's gaze flitted between Carl's ongoing chat with Loraine and the red exclamation on his own phone screen. His grip tightened around his phone, almost as if he wished to crush it. Carl, perceiving Marco's frustration, quickly handed over his phone, saying obsequiously, "Mr. Bryant, consider this your phone now."

Grumbling, Marco snatched the phone and sent his carefully crafted message to Loraine.

The ensuing seconds were torturous as he feared rejection or that

Loraine would suspect his identity and dismiss him. Thoughts of Loraine sent his heart on a rollercoaster ride.

Contrary to his fears, Loraine responded promptly, "Alright, but we may need to adjust the time. Davy is catching a flight into town. Let's meet in three days instead." Exhaling deeply, Marco agreed without hesitation.

Three days later, in the senior meeting room of the Universe Group.

Having resolved the internal crisis within the Cheap and Fine Group,

Davy was in high spirits. Upon entering the room, he greeted Loraine and Marco warmly, eager to engage in conversation.
