Peter broke the silence.
“I’ve been working for Mr. Evans for almost twenty years, and Mrs. Evans treats me well. She is a real angel.
More than a decade ago, my wife was seriously ill. This kind lady had located an expert doctor for me.”
Hearing his words, Cecilia felt they got on really well.
She had expected to meet Mark outside, but to her surprise, the car drove directly into the office building.
It was already six o’clock, and most employees had left.
Those who were still in the company and saw Cecilia accompanied by Peter guessed she must be Mark’s girlfriend.
They all thought Cecilia looked even more attractive in person than in her magazine photos.
She was young and had exceptionally radiant skin.
They wondered how Mark had managed to win her over.
Meanwhile, Mark was still in his office, engrossed in reading documents with an engineer standing before him. Mark furrowed his brows and said, “Roy, we need to keep a close watch on this data set.
We can’t afford any more mistakes. Time is running out. Do you understand?”
Roy, one of Mark’s employees, was in his forties.
His face turned red as he replied, “Yes, I’ll work overtime tonight.”
However, Mark stood up and patted Roy on the shoulder, saying, “Go home now. Today is your daughter’s birthday, isn’t it? Buy her a cake after work and celebrate her birthday. You haven’t been able to spend much time with her in the past few years, have you?”
Tears welled up in Roy’s eyes, and he nodded, saying, “Yes, sir!
I’ll get off work right away!”
Mark patted Roy’s shoulder again. His employees had worked hard over these years.
As they were talking, Peter brought Cecilia into the office.
When Peter saw Roy, he smiled and greeted, “Roy!”
Roy, a workaholic, didn’t usually pay much attention to women. Seeing Cecilia, who appeared stunning as if she were a celestial being, his face turned crimson instantly.
Peter seemed to recall something and exclaimed, “Roy, do you know this young lady? Let’s Mr. Evans make an introduction!”
Mark’s gaze fixated on Cecilia. She looked exceptionally glamorous today.
Mark took out two cigarettes and tossed one to Roy, who was in a daze. Mark smiled and said, “Don’t be nervous, man. Peter has a habit of talking too much. Roy, this young lady is my significant other, Cecilia Fowler.”
