Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 943

Loraine hesitated.

Cayson's eyes darkened, and with a smile, he suggested, "Jennie will be at the bidding too, right? If you decline, I might have to ask her to be my companion." His remark eliminated Loraine's uncertainty.

Worried Cayson might misinterpret her hesitation, Loraine smiled and agreed, "Never mind. Jennie has been swamped lately. I'll be your female companion."

Soon, the day of the bidding arrived, and Loraine accompanied Cayson to the event.

Before it started, Loraine went backstage to check on the preparations to ensure nothing went wrong.

Marco, accompanied only by Carl and dressed in a suit with a stoic expression, appeared normal once again, as though his vulnerability that day had been a mere figment of her imagination. Since their last argument, this was the first time they had crossed paths, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere.

The gazes of the two men met, revealing an underlying tension.

Marco scoffed, his words laced with menace.

"This project is led by

Loraine and me. I heard that you returned without a break. In reality, there's no need for concern. Loraine and I can handle it."

Cayson's expression turned icy.

Loraine's frown deepened, not wanting to engage with Marco. She glanced at Cayson instead.

"Cayson, we're almost set to begin. Let's head out."

Cayson couldn't help but feel smug when he noticed Loraine's reaction.

Angrily, Marco called out, "Loraine!"
