Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 945

They eagerly sought a presence in the new business district, and the atmosphere was Lively with conversation and networking.

It was evident that the joint venture between Bryant Group and Universe

Group had generated significant interest.

Onstage, the emcee warmed up the crowd and outlined the bidding process.

"Attention, everyone. The bidding process will take place through a blind auction. Each participating merchant will have the opportunity to bid on the storefronts within the new commercial area. The highest bidder will secure the location."

In this manner, only the final outcome would be revealed. Company representatives eagerly strategized, aiming to secure the most advantageous locations with the most reasonable investments.

The commercial street's layout was essentially complete, making the stores near entrances and intersections particularly desirable.

ANGELA's LIBRARY

As the discussions continued, Loraine readied herself for her speech.

The auction was orchestrated by Bryant Group and Universe Group, so she and Marco were expected to take the stage together and introduce the commercial block.

Backstage in the Lounge, tension filled the air.

Loraine sat stone-faced, reviewing her speech, seemingly unapproachable.

Marco, eager to speak with her, was blocked by Cayson.

The makeup artist, feeling the pressure, glanced toward Marco's assistant, Carl, for assistance.

Carl coughed before suggesting, "Miss Torres, perhaps you should review the speech with Mr. Bryant?"

The day's auction was crucial, and Loraine had already scrutinized the speech several times to minimize errors. Yet, she hesitated.

Her eyes remained on the script, not uttering a word.

Wasn't Marco fond of playing dumb? If he wouldn't clarify everything, she'd not initiate conversation with him again.

As their stage entrance neared, Marco pursed his Lips and addressed

Cayson in a low tone, "I need to review the script with Loraine. Please step out."

Cayson scoffed, "I suggest you refrain from scheming. I'm not leaving."

It was evident that Marco desired to be alone with Loraine.

Cayson wouldn't give him that opportunity.
