Curiosity got the better of Annie. Seeing that they were alone in the elevator, she could not help but ask, “Miss
Xante, do you like Sunny?”
Xante’s expression remained neutral. “What do you think?”
Annie gave it some thought. “Umm… I think you at least don’t dislike him. Knowing you, Miss Xante, you would’ve
ignored him if you didn’t like him. Though, I feel like the man just now is more suitable for you because Sunny is just
too immature.”
Xante smiled lightly. She did not give any comment on what Annie said but instead asked, “Are you here for Aaron?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnnie’s face contorted unnaturally at the mention of Aaron. She then shook her head and said, “No, I’m here for
Marcus.”
Ding! The elevator door opened.
Xante walked out of the elevator and said, “Alright. Go ahead, then.”
Annie was slightly annoyed that she could not extract any information out of Xante.
Xante might seem unapproachable at times, but she was not cold-hearted. For example, she might have behaved
impassively when Annie asked her questions, but she at least responded with a smile despite not answering
outright.
Annie admired a strong, independent woman like Xante. It was as if nothing could ever faze her. She, on the other
hand, could not even let go of a man who did not like her for a guy who was crazy about her.
She walked in the opposite direction where Xante was taking to arrive at Marcus’ desk. Seeing him busy typing on
his keyboard, she took a deep breath before approaching him.
“Hey, Marcus.”
Marcus turned when he heard her voice. His shock was overtaken by a sour expression. “What are you doing
here?”
“I couldn’t explain myself on the phone yesterday because of how hectic everything was, so I’ve come to explain it
to you face-to-face.”
Marcus turned back and continued to work on his computer while saying rudely, “I’m busy right now! I have a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpresentation to give at a meeting later, so you should go back.”
“Oh. It’s okay. I can wait at the cafeteria until you’re free. I’ll let you get on with your work, then.”
Annie knew Marcus was angry at her because he never treated her so coldly before. After yesterday, so she should
do something to show her sincerity in apologizing.
As soon as she turned to head to the cafeteria, she knocked into a man dressed in an expensive tailored suit.
A familiar and premium cologne scent wafted into her nostrils. ‘I know this smell! I must’ve bumped into Aaron!’
She looked up and saw Aaron’s handsome face smiling down at her.
