Cecilia Gu almost thought she’d misheard.
She glanced around, left and right—was there really no one else?
Was he talking to her?
"My name is Marcus Chow. May I ask what your name is, beautiful lady?" Marcus Chow’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Cecilia Gu. What should he do? His heart was beating faster and faster! This beauty looked exactly like the goddess he’d dreamed about—the brows, the expression, everything was just like his fantasy!
Could it be that the heavens heard his secret wish and sent his goddess to him?
Cecilia Gu couldn’t help but laugh—how many years had it been since someone tried to hit on her?
Was this man really clueless about her identity, or just pretending?
If he really knew who she was and still dared to flirt, she had to admit—he was a brave man!
If Charles found out, haha...
Marcus Chow saw the beauty in front of him suddenly smile at him, and his heart just about melted.
A tingling rush, like electricity running through his body—he’d never felt anything like it before.
"I'm from the Chow Family in Xenton—beautiful lady, shall we add each other on WeChat?" Marcus Chow struck his most handsome pose, flamboyantly showing off.
Cecilia Gu looked at him thoughtfully—Xenton, that explains it.
Xenton and Newport City are nearly ten thousand miles apart, so it makes sense he’s never seen her before.
But why would someone from Xenton come to Newport City?
Cecilia Gu calmly refused, saying, "Sorry, I’m already married."
Marcus Chow’s smile froze. He blurted out, "How could that be?"
"Thank you for your appreciation, but my marriage is happy—I’m not looking to change husbands," Cecilia Gu smiled. "And as for exchanging WeChat, let’s skip that too."
Just then, Wendy came over with the food. She hadn’t even set it down before she saw a flamboyant man—almost blindingly flashy—sitting across from the young mistress.
At first, Wendy thought he was an acquaintance of the young mistress, but as she got closer, she realized she didn’t know this man at all.
As the young mistress’s personal assistant, Wendy remembered the faces of everyone around Cecilia Gu, but this man was clearly not one of them.
"Sorry, I’ll excuse myself," Cecilia Gu didn’t want to keep talking and got up to leave.
Wendy hurried after her. "Young mistress, who was that?"
"Someone from the Chow Family in Xenton," Cecilia replied calmly. "He’s probably one of our competitors in the bidding. Wait—the Chow Family? Isn’t that the one we’re up against?"
Wendy said, "So it’s him! I know—Marcus Chow has a younger sister named Zoey Chow!"
Cecilia Gu suddenly realized, and when she turned her head, she saw Lin Feng standing beside Rona Muir.
What an interesting connection this is!
Lin Feng seemed to sense Cecilia Gu’s gaze, and he immediately turned to look at her, flashing a brilliant smile.
Cecilia Gu walked over to Rona Muir and said to her, "Is the Chow Family full of idiots or something?"
"What happened?" Rona Muir pulled Cecilia Gu over to sit down, and the assistants set out the food. The two of them chatted as they ate.
Cecilia Gu sighed helplessly.
Wendy couldn't help but complain, "This Marcus Chow doesn’t even know the young mistress, but he’s still trying to pursue her."
Pfft!
Rona Muir nearly spit out her juice!
Lin Feng immediately handed over a napkin considerately.
Rona Muir took it and wiped her mouth, looking incredulous. "No way! Even if Marcus Chow is a total homebody, he’s got to go online sometimes, right? You and Charles Yin flaunt your love every day—he wants the whole world to know you’re his wife. How could Marcus Chow not know?"
Cecilia Gu replied helplessly, "Judging by his reaction, it seems he really doesn’t know."
Rona Muir burst out laughing, "This is hilarious! Wow, I haven’t heard something this funny in years! Oh my, point him out to me—which one is Marcus Chow?"
Cecilia Gu pointed lightly, "He’s the most dazzling one in the crowd."
Rona Muir glanced over and clicked her tongue, "Who would’ve thought—Zoey Chow’s brother is really something else."
