That old geezer just wont stop unless hes making trouble for everyone! On the other end, Alberts voice was frosty. Marcus, Im only forty! Im not ancient! Marcus chuckled. Mr. Waston, youre aware youre forty too, right? Then you should be old enough to know its not cool to ring someone up in the dead of night! Its late, whats on your mind? Albert hesitated before querying,
Is Jessie heading overseas? Did she spill the beans about where shes headed? How Longs she planning to be away? With a faint smirk, Marcus replied, Mr. Waston, shouldnt you be snuggled up next to your missus and kid? Why you so curious about a gal youve left high and dry? Who are you to be asking these questions anyway? There was a prolonged silence on the phone.
Finally, Albert let out a bitter smile. Youre correct. Im no longer qualified to ask these things.
Marcus gazed thoughtfully at the phone after ending the call.
Melissa couldnt resist speaking softly. He must be hurt by what you said.

Marcus leaned closer, a faint smile playing on his lips as he whispered in her ear, You truly have no idea what Im referring to? Im jealous, Mrs. Fowler! Melissa pouted, Why must you be so narrow-minded? Didnt Albert confess his love to you in the past? Are you certain he never had feelings for you? Melissa turned towards Marcus, pressing her face against his neck as she murmured, That was ages ago. Im amazed you still recall.
Marcus gently stroked her hair.
Melissas slender frame made it easy for him to pull her into his embrace.
He savored holding her like this.
The discussion about Albert was quickly forgotten in the warmth of their embrace. As Melissa remarked, it was all in the past. What truly mattered was that Marcus and she were together now.
The following morning, Melissa prepared to head to work as usual after breakfast.
