Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 976

Their eyes met and the atmosphere suddenly turned suggestive.

Jennie watched this silent exchange between them with an understanding grin.

Despite her previous anger at Marco for underestimating her, Loraine's feelings underwent a transformation as he learned the truth and offered a sincere apology. She began to perceive him as a much more trustworthy and dependable individual compared to Jimmie.

Plus, his heroic intervention to defend Loraine added to his charming allure.

A chuckle escaped Jennie's lips as she said, "Lorrie, I just recalled an urgent matter I need to attend to. I'll take my Leave now. Don't bother dropping me off!"

Just as she finished, the elevator arrived conveniently. Jennie darted into it and before Loraine could respond, she swiftly pressed the close button, waving them off.

Loraine couldn't help but shake her head at Jennie's hasty exit.

With the elevator doors shut, they were left waiting. Loraine coughed.

When her eyes met Marco's, she saw a smear of blood on his face.

His face must have been scratched by the pen just now. And now it began to bleed.

Touched by the sight, Loraine gestured towards Marco's face, her voice tender. "Marco, you've been hurt."

Dismissing the blood with a nonchalant wipe, Marco responded coolly,

"It's nothing serious."

Loraine shot him a disapproving Look

He had once risked injury to rescue Rowan. Even then, he had braved it out. Why couldn't he understand the importance of taking care of himself?

Unable to put her worry into words, she hesitated before speaking up.

"This isn't a minor matter. Your face is your key asset. If it gets scarred, you'll be left with no strengths."

Marco's eyes twinkled with amusement as he leaned in closer to her. "So you're saying I have a handsome face?"

Feeling the pressure, Loraine stepped aside and shifted her gaze to avoid eye contact.

Should any staff from Universe Group walk by, they would witness their

CEO, blushing bashfully, cornered at the elevator.

Collecting her composure, Loraine nudged Marco aside, stating stubbornly, "Stop making absurd remarks. Follow me unless you fancy a scarred face."

She eased out of Marco's embrace, feigning tranquility, and guided him to her office.
