Chapter 597
They had put on a friendly and respectful front for the reporters just now. It would be a bit off for them to turn against each other all of a sudden.
After all, they would have to communicate with each other to cooperate.
With this in mind, Loraine nodded and said, “Alright, what do you want to discuss?”
Marco opened the car door and said with a smile, “I know a good restaurant close by. We can head there to discuss.”
Loraine somehow felt he had ulterior motives. However, she could not decline, so she went with him.
They arrived at the restaurant and took their seats. Marco took his time to order drinks for both of them and handed her the menu. With a smile, he said, “They have tasty desserts here. Why don’t you try some?”
Loraine frowned. “I’m here to talk about our business cooperation.”
She and Marco were not on good enough terms to sit down and have drinks leisurely while chatting about mundane things.
Different emotions whizzed through Marco’s eyes, and he said, “Our companies are cooperating now. The issue with the photo is settled. You don’t need to worry.”
Loraine’s voice was soft as she responded, “You don’t have to worry. Universe Group has not at all been affected negatively.”
Marco was surprised. He then explained, “I’m not concerned about Universe Group. I care about you, I want to make sure you’re okay.”
Loraine felt uncomfortable hearing this. “You can stop now, Marco.”
Marco ignored her words and continued, “You and I have long known each other, Loraine. I’m hoping you won’t refuse me this time. We can be friends at Least. I only want to be of help to you. If you’re met with any problems or come to face any asshole, you can call on me for help.”
Loraine’s face changed instantly. Her voice was cold as she stood up and responded, “If you’re not here to discuss the cooperation, then I’ll leave.”
She turned around, ready to walk away when Marco stopped her. His large hand grabbed her thin wrist tightly.
His voice was low as he asked, “What about you and that guitarist? You’re both just partners as well. Why can he make a private appointment with you and I can’t?”
The reporter’s question and Loraine’s answer at the press conference remained on Marco’s mind. He worried about it and felt jealous even.
Loraine felt perplexed. How did any of this concern Godwin?
Note: “My bandmates will be leaving soon. Of course, I must take time out to tell them goodbye. Is there a problem with that?”
