After that, she strolled into the Living room.
Matthew gleefully rode a rocking horse crafted by Marcus, while Minnie chased after him gleefully.
Marcus, meanwhile, sat at the table, engrossed in a newspaper.
Seemingly, they were in for a late dinner.
Feeling awkward, Melissa sidled over and took a seat beside him.
Suddenly, Marcus muttered, Poison, electrocution, maiming Thugs these days are really ruthless!
Melissa, taken aback, bit her lips.
Setting the paper aside, Marcus casually inquired, You seem lost in thought. Whats on your mind, Melissa?

Melissa was fully aware that Marcus expected her to plead with him.
She didnt intend to keep anything from him. So she sat down in her chair and spoke softly. Shawns in a fix!

After confirming Yvonne had retreated to her room, he shifted his gaze, poured a glass of red wine, and remarked to Melissa, Isnt Mr. Waston in Duefron? Why not reach out to him for a hand? They say hes got connections!

Messing around with his boss girl! Whats he thinking? Is he fed up with Janet, huh?
The more Marcus rambled, the sillier he sounded. Melissa frowned, worried Yvonne might overhear them.
As if he could sense her concern, Marcus assured, The walls here are thick. Yvonne wont catch a thing.
Before Melissa could respond, he gestured towards the dishes, saying, Lets dig in before they get cold!
Knowing Marcus temper, even though she had no appetite, Melissa forced down a few bites. When she finally set her fork down, Marcus asked, Have you had enough to eat?
Beneath the table, Melissa grasped his hand and murmured, Im not hungry.
This wasnt her usual tone with him.
Marcus couldnt tear his eyes away from her, enchanted by her Lovely face.
At the same time, Melissa stared right back at him, unwavering.
With one hand holding her delicate fingers, Marcus swirled his wine glass gently and suggested, Lets chat in my room later.
