She had previously questioned such a seating arrangement. She agreed with them since Bryant Group had
assured her that it was part of their company’s tradition.
If Loraine hadn't been staring at him right now, Marco could have ignored Cayson.
He appeared to be carefully weighing his next words as he pursed his thin lips and his face stiffened.
Thankfully, Carl noticed it and made up an excuse. “Mr. Benton, yesterday was your first tattending the our
meeting. There were still a lot of things you didn’t know. We assigned you to sit among your staff to help you
adjust as quickly as possible.”

Cayson, though, didn’t believe it. He sneered at Marco and said, “If
Bryant Group truly wants to work with us, | advise Mr. Bryant to focus on business and stop playing tricks.”
Marco peered at the Cayson, his expression unreadable, and bent forward.
“I am competent enough to outperform you. Why should | play tricks?”
It was both a provocation and a declaration of war.
These two men put Loraine in a tricky situation.
This was only the start. The two men continued their dispute and refused to cto an agreement during the
meeting's subsequent hours.
The two companies failed to achieve a consensus throughout the entire meeting. Instead, the newly unified
relationship between them bectense again.
Loraine remained there for stfollowing the meeting. She waited till everyone else had left before
speaking to Cayson.
“Cayson, | know you don’t like Marco, but now that the two companies are working together, we'd best first
ensure the cooperation continues properly.”
After a brief silence, Cayson apologized.
“I'm sorry, Lorrie. | went out of Line during the meeting.”

Just seeing Marco bug Loraine was too much for him to bear.
Looking at his apologetic face, Loraine felt guilty instead. “I should be the one to apologize. You've just returned
from a business trip, and
I've given you a ton of work to do.”
Cayson approached Loraine with a smile after realizing that she cared about him.
“Lorrie, on this business trip, | got to meet my parents.
They wantto find someone and settle down.”
Cayson held Loraine’s hand as he looked into her bewildered eyes.
