Though she didn’t want to intrude, Loraine couldn't help but sneak a peek at the album, since Marco didn’t seem
to mind.
The first page presented a group photograph.
Instantly, Loraine’s eyes were drawn to a radiant woman. In the picture, this lady was happily ensconced behind
a man, her arm draped around his neck and a cheerful toast being offered to the camera. The intimacy between
them was evident.
A caption below revealed that this was the founding team of the Solar
Company.

Loraine sighed and commented, “She's incredibly beautiful. I'm not sure what her role is at the Solar Company,
but it appears that she has a close relationship with them.”
It struck her as odd. Would a corporation display such private moments in their official albums?
There was something oddly familiar about the man in the lady’s embrace.
As she leaned in for a closer look, Marco’s expression turned sour.
With a flick of his wrist, the album was promptly closed.
Operation Was...
Loraine had an odd sensation. She voiced her concern, “I'm not quite done yet.”
Marco managed to muster a faint smile upon noticing Loraine’s puzzled expression and diverted the topic, “We
ought to get to the hospital.”
Loraine was initially indifferent, but Marco’s weird demeanor stirred a sense of unease in her.

“Is something wrong, Marco?”
Marco responded with a composed grin, his lips pursed.

“It’s nothing serious. Just taken aback by the unexpected album.”
Loraine could sense an undercurrent of tension. Persisting, she queried, “Why would they send an album your
way? Merely because of a business collaboration?”
At this, Marco's face tensed up. “Actually, my trip overseas years ago coincided with Solar Company's inception.
Courtesy of Sullivan, | was present at its inaugural event...”
While the conversation felt offbeat to Loraine, she chose not to overthink it. She responded, “That explains your
close ties with Solar
Company. You've been working with them since then. No wonder there is no news in the industry.”
When Marco ventured abroad, he had the chance to stumble upon the birth of the Solar Company. He truly was a
fortunate individual, blessed with both resilience and good fortune.
