But then, Loraine studied abroad, right? I remember you happened to start a business abroad at that time. Maybe that was when you met her?
Marco shook his head firmly. We were not in the same country. How could we have met each other?
Jimmie shrugged and fell into deep thought again. After a while, he murmured, You cant be too sure, Marco. Maybe you met each other during an overseas project. Doris is helping you manage your business abroad, right? If you want to know more, maybe you should ask her to investigate.

Marco shook the wine in his glass and closed his eyes. He didnt bother to continue the topic anymore.
Already, the atmosphere in the room dropped sharply.
Slater felt this was a bad sign. He nudged Jimmie with his elbow and whispered, Dont mention her again! Dont you see Marco hasnt mentioned her since he came back? There must be something. We put so much effort into send Keely away. Dont bring up another trouble!
Jimmie gasped. How could he forget this? And it turned out that Slater, of all people, was the one who reminded him.
For a moment, he was speechless and didnt know what to say or do.
Slater narrowed his eyes and looked Jimmie up and down. Suddenly, he blurted, Theres something going on with you. Something has been wrong somewhere recently.
Jimmie felt guilty and quickly became defensive to avoid discussing the topic.
Whats wrong with me? Youre just thinking too much and reading into things that dont exist.

At this point, Slater was feeling like Sherlock Holmes. He began to outline his deductions to his friend.
Ive noticed that youve been absent-minded about everything recently.
How have you managed not to notice what even I could notice? Come on, tell me. What the hell is going on?
Stop reading too much into things! Jimmie scolded, still refusing to admit it.
Fine! Youre forcing me to use my trump card!
Driven by curiosity, the nosy Slater refused to let Jimmie be and kept trying to force him to tell the truth.
This was the first time that Jimmie was being bothered by Slater in this manner.
Seeing his friends arguing, Marco ignored them and sat in silence. His mind was still focused purely on Loraine, and he could not think of anything else.
After drinking a few more glasses, Marco bid farewell to his two friends and went home alone.
The moment he stepped into the house, Laura came up to him, fawning over him and even trying to help him take off his coat.
But Marco dodged her.
