Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 980

Marco narrowed his eyes, his presence radiating authority as he retorted, "It appears you've overlooked the nature of this event.

Tonight's celebration party is hosted by both Bryant Group and Universe

Group. In that regard, Loraine and I hold the highest authority here!"

As the exchange between the two men unfolded, Loraine felt a headache coming on.

She had intentionally kept Cayson out of the loop to let him rest and to avoid precisely this kind of situation.

It seemed inevitable that whenever the two crossed paths, they would end up clashing, with her caught in the middle.

At this moment, Cayson shifted his attention to her and gently inquired, "Lorrie, do you have an escort?"

Their interaction had drawn the attention of the surrounding guests, who were now watching the scene unfold with bated breath.

Marco also gazed at her intensely.

A simple nod from her would suggest she belonged to him.

Loraine shook her head in denial, clarifying, "No."

It was the truth. While she and Marco had organized the party together, she had never agreed to be his date.

At her response, Marco's face clouded over while Cayson's Lips curled into a triumphant smirk

"Did you hear that, Marco? Lorrie clarified that she doesn't have a partner. Don't flatter yourself!"

Cayson then turned to Loraine once more, offering his hand. "Lorrie, since you're partner-less, would you allow me the honor of escorting you?"

Loraine glanced at Marco's sullen expression and his tense posture, anticipating an outburst if she agreed.

With a resigned smile, she declined, "Cayson, this is a celebration party. I am here to mingle with all the guests, not just one partner.

Thank you."

With a swift intervention, Marco stepped between Loraine and Cayson, stating, "You've heard her. Loraine doesn't need you. You may Leave." Cayson's smile faltered, and he posed another question.

"Lorrie, would you prefer Marco as your partner?"

Marco scoffed, "And why wouldn't she? I am far more suitable than you."

Loraine was momentarily at a loss for words, but she eventually said sternly to both men, "I said, I don't need a partner. Neither of you!
