“I'm good. You may leave now.”
With a sigh of acceptance, Carl brought up a pending business matter,
“Mr. Bryant, we were scheduled to have a meeting with Universe Group and Cheap and Fine Group to finalize the
proposal. When would you Like to arrange that?”
Brightening at the idea, Marco replied with enthusiasm, “As soon as possible would be best!”
He wagered that Loraine wouldn't decline a professional encounter. He could only hope to clarify his actions
when given a chance to meet her.
Departing the office, Carl felt a sense of relief seeing Marco regain sof his usual vigor.

Fully engrossed in his work, Marco found a respite from his lingering thoughts, making him feel somewhat better.
Before long, his desk phone interrupted the silence. Carl relayed the message over the call, “Mr. Bryant, Ms.

Marco wanted to turn Doris down.
He knew that she had feelings for him, and would've preferred that she communicate with Carl instead, if the
matter concerning the Solar
Company wasn’t too important.
On second thought, however, Marco realized that he had to tell Doris about the transportation of the ninth-
generation operating robot.
Knowing that he'd have to contact her sooner or later, he reluctantly agreed, “Put her through, please.”
As soon as the video call was connected, a beautiful face appeared on the screen. Doris gazed at him for a few
seconds, her red lips subtly curving in excitement.

“Long tno see, Marco.”
Despite the previous awkwardness between them, Doris remained an essential partner overseas and Marco's
trusted right-hand subordinate.
Moreover, she was a hard worker and hadn't pursued him further in all these years. It was Marco, instead, who
had been avoiding her excessively.
After letting out a sigh of relief, he acknowledged her with a nod.
Doris managed to suppress her lingering emotions just in time, and swiftly shifted her focus to business.
“I heard that you've sent the ninth-generation robot back. Why didn’t you discuss such an important decision
within advance?”
