Chapter: 1137
Of course, Mark also needed their help with other things.
One of the men present wanted to make a connection with Waylen and the Fowler family, so he approached Cecilia for a toast. However, Mark stopped him, saying straightforwardly, “She doesn’t understand those kinds of things.”
So no one dared to propose a toast to Cecilia again.
When Mark went to the washroom, Cecilia followed him there. Truth be told, everyone in the room sensed that something deeper was going on, but when Mark said that Cecilia was his junior, they had no choice but to believe him.
Mark was washing his hands when Cecilia inched towards him.
She whispered, “Uncle Mark, they all seem to be a little scared of you.”
Mark turned off the golden faucet.
He had drank a little too much, so he took out a cigarette and smoked to sober up a little.
Smoke gradually filled the small bathroom.
Mark thought about what Cecilia said. She was right. Although these were his old classmates and they all had connections, they all undoubtedly wanted to ride on his coattails.
It was lonely at the top.
Today, people were scared of him and showed him respect. But if he faced a setback someday, he might end up being pushed down and unable to bounce back, leading to a miserable failure.
Only this little girl was as simple and innocent as a puppy.
He looked at Cecilia, regretting having brought her here…
At that moment, a faint noise emanated from the stall in the washroom. It seemed like the occupants were experiencing a mix of misery and delight. Later, perhaps driven by their heightened emotions, they engaged in passionate intimacy.
The door to the cubicle shook violently.
The woman’s pleasured moans and the man’s satisfied panting filled the air.
Cecilia was stunned.
No matter how naive she was, she could tell that the man and the woman were definitely not a couple. If they were a couple, they wouldn’t be so eager to have sex in a bathroom cubicle during a dinner party, not to mention that the man was a prestigious figure.
Then Cecilia thought about how young those woman in the room looked…
All of a sudden, she felt wronged.
These men must’ve brought their lovers here, so why did Mark bring her?
