Marcus couldn't resist touching her gently.

Just then, Melissa blinked awake. “What time is it?” she asked.

Grinning, Marcus replied, “Almost eight” Melissa shot up, thinking of the kids and Elsie. “Why didn't you wake me?” she demanded, reaching for her clothes.

But Marcus halted her. “Chill! Ill whip up something for us.” Melissa opened her mouth but Marcus beat her to it. “Got something to say about Jessie, right? We'll talk Later over our meal.” Melissa stared, baffled.

With a smirk, Marcus teased, “What? Do you want more? Sorry, can't perform miracles on an empty tank.” Fed up, Melissa hurled a pillow at him. Seizing the chance, Marcus pulled her close.

Wrapping her in his arms, he kised her deeply, and then whispered, “Be a good girl for me, alright?” Melissa didn't put up a fight after that.

In high spirits, Marcus headed to the kitchen. Before long, he announced to Melissa that food was served.

They sat down together at the table and dug in.

Mid-meal, Melissa geared up to bring up the Elsie situation. But Marcus beat her to it. “This is our place and you're the boss.

There's no need to ask me for permission,” he said casually.

Marcus always had a knack for teasing Melissa.

He couldn't resist adding, “You really don't have to seduce me and everything just to get me on board; not that I mind your approach though” “Cut it out, Marcus!” Melissa blurted out, her cheeks flushing.

With a gentle smile, Marcus pulled out an envelope Melissa had brought. “Guess what? Albert came to me the other day!” Men and their smoking habits during business talk...

Marcus didn't light up, though; instead, he just twirled the cigarette.

“He's keen on teaming up,” Marcus continued.

Melissa was taken aback. “Mr. Watson wants to partner with you?” Given the Summit Ltd mess, Waston Group and Fowler Group had been at odds, there had been no business between them ever since, just fierce competition. Now, they were talking cooperation?
