Female Novel“I'l drive you to the office,” he offered.
Melissa stared at him for a moment before sinking back into the bed.
She simply couldn't muster the strength to get up.
With a smile, Marcus approached and sat on the edge of the bed. His hand slipped under the covers, but Melissa quickly covered it, preventing him from touching her. She groaned softly, “I can't do it anymore. There is a meeting in the company this morning. All the materials are with me.” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...
When she said this, her face flushed.
Marcus gently brushed her eyebrows with his slender fingers and suggested, “If you're feeling too exhausted, you could resign. Il provide You with a sum of money, and you can pursue whatever you desire with it” However, Melissa had different plans.
For the past six months, she had been diligently working on a partnership proposal with Summit Ltd, and it was nearing completion.
Once the contract was signed, she would become a partner at the Waston Group. This would not only enhance her worthiness to Marcus but also boost her confidence when standing by his side.
But she also understood that Marcus didn’t want her to remain at the
Waston Group.
Melissa reclined against the headboard and said softly, “Mr. Waston will return to Heron to oversee operations next year. I'll remain in Duefron and likely take charge of the local branch company. Marcus, perhaps it's best not to intertwine business and personal affairs.” She understood that the more she gained, the more she had to sacrifice.
Melissa was unlike Marcus’ mother, Rena. Rena came from a prominent family and had supported the Fowler family significantly in Waylen's absence. Melissa, on the other hand, had nothing. How could she convince herself that she could peacefully coexist with Marcus? Simply because of his affection? Eagles Or the child she bore for him? In reality, these factors were unreliable. Only by establishing her own career could she truly assert independence from him. She wanted to stand by his side as his equal.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Once Melissa finished talking, Marcus clearly didn't want to argue.
He gently touched her cheek and said, “Alright, we'll discuss this next year” It was rare for him to be so open and communicative, which made her heart sing. Since they reconnected, he had been more proactive. While she usually didn't take the lead in getting close to him, now she felt a
desire to be intimate.
As she sat on his lap, his dark eyes clouded. “Melissa, do you realize what you're doing?” He whispered in her ear and his breath tickled her skin. “You're treading on thin ice” She wrapped her arms around his neck, lifted her head, and ki*sed his smooth chin. He smelled of aftershave.
Marcus didn't respond but glanced down at her.
Melissa's cheeks were flushed. Shy but determined, she continued to kis him deeply. Eventually, he gently removed the thin blanket covering her, cupped her face, and deepened the ki’s. His voice was soft. “We'll leave at half past eight. That means we still have thirty minutes. Melissa, ‘where did you pick up these skills?”
