Marilyn was not good at socializing.
Malcolm seemed to expect her words. He put on a faint smile and spoke out calmly, "Lynn, you have to go with me. You are the design director of the Lowe Group, and the people you will meet at the banquet tomorrow night are all our partners."
Malcolm's words made Marilyn silent.
Marilyn sat in front of Malcolm. She looked delicate and lovely with her thin body. Her wavy hair was lying softly on her shoulders. Her eyes were beautiful and shining. At this moment, Marilyn was staring at Malcolm in confusion.
Malcolm also looked at Marilyn quietly.
But they had different feelings.
Marilyn silently withdrew her eyesight. Did she have another choice?
Marilyn replied in a low voice, "Okay! I will go with you for tomorrow night's banquet."
Marilyn stood up indifferently after her words as if she was being forced.
In Marilyn's eyes, Malcolm was indeed forcing her.
In Malcolm's opinion, he did it on purpose.
Bringing a couple for a banquet?
You must be kidding.
Malcolm had attended all kinds of banquets before and had never brought a couple.
But this time, the idea suddenly ran across him and Malcolm wanted to bring Marilyn along with him. It was the first time they met. One should learn from past lessons. Marilyn was scared of the memories there but it was another beginning of Malcolm's life.
Malcolm admitted that his decision was very cruel, but the strong feeling in his heart excited him. Marilyn was the girl that he had been looking for.
"Mr. Lowe, see you tomorrow!" Marilyn found Malcolm lost in his thoughts and turned around to leave.
The moment Marilyn left, Malcolm gracefully raised his eyes and looked at her back with a mischievous smile.
Malcolm would never give it up once he found something he was fond of.
"Lynn, Lynn," Malcolm repeated these two words silently in his mind and felt extremely happy.
He got up and walked out elegantly with his coat in his hands.
Sergio was still waiting for him outside.
Seeing Malcolm come out, Sergio just glanced at Malcolm indifferently and then walked out with the briefcase on the table in his hands.
Sergio asked indifferently as before, "Go home? Or go for dinner?"
Sergio knew very well that Malcolm would not return home.
Malcolm was refused by Marilyn tonight.
Was Malcolm ever refused when he asked a lady out?
Sergio found Malcolm being silent and put on a faint smile. He suddenly challenged Malcolm with interest, "Are you okay? It's the first time you've been rejected by a woman. Are you feeling bad?"
Malcolm stood next to the elevator. He stretched out his slender fingers and gently pressed the elevator button. His deep eyes were focused on Sergio. "Why are you gossiping today?"
But Sergio's words were true. Malcolm laughed at himself. Yes, it was the first time Malcolm took the initiative to ask a lady out, but he was rejected.
Sergio smiled, but his voice was still calm. "I am rarely interested in other people's affairs, but I am very interested in your matters. Mr. Lowe, who has never been close to girls, suddenly asked a lady out for dinner. This is indeed the hottest topic!"
Malcolm was not angry. Instead, he smiled elegantly. "Sergio, I remember there is a saying in the book. 'I don't expect a perfect life, but I hope that when I encounter the difficulties of my life, I can be a qualified rival to fight back.' It's my time to fight back!"
"Well," Sergio lowered his voice and asked, "is it your time to fight Marilyn back?"
Marilyn could be regarded as a 'difficulty' in Malcolm's life. She was no ordinary person!
"If it was her, she would be my greatest opponent. I will conquer her. She will become my wife!" Malcolm smiled with joy and even began to imagine that scene.
Sergio gazed at Malcolm and said, "Malcolm, it's been so many years. Are you still not giving up?"
If Carolyn was still alive, she would have been found long ago.
However, after so many years, no one could find her at all, so the result was obvious.
Malcolm did not care about Sergio's words. He lowered his head and said, "Sergio, even in the most illusory world, people will try their best to find something real from it. They will give themselves a glimmer of hope. The things they want to pursue may be with them."
Sergio smiled and said, "From the moment she disappeared, you have been living in the illusory world. For others, there are many things to do in life, and in your life, you only live for her.
"Some people are lost in a forest while you are hanging on a single tree."
The elevator door opened and they walked in gracefully.
The moment the elevator door closed, Billie, who had not left, walked out from the shadows.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Billie was shocked!
Billie found that Malcolm had not been married for so many years and had no girlfriend or scandal because he was waiting for the person he loved to come back.
Who was the person?
Billie only heard the latter part. The previous words were missed because she was standing too far away, and she did not hear clearly.
Billie quickly took out her phone and made a call as she walked towards the elevator.
"Sandy, I know why Malcolm hasn't had a girlfriend for so many years." Billie narrowed her eyes.
"Why? Tell me!" Sandra's excited voice came through the phone.
"Malcolm was waiting for the woman he loved!" Billie said with both envy and jealousy.
"What? Waiting for someone?" Sandra heard it and obviously did not believe it.
"Yes, I have never seen Malcolm so happy before." Billie's tone was a little disappointed. A man like Malcolm was outstanding. If she could marry him, she would have nothing to ask for in her life.
Billie recalled the first time she saw Malcolm. At first glance, he was tall and elegant. He was cold and noble, and his handsome face was mesmerizing.
Something in Billie's heart instantly broke out. She had a crazy obsession with this man.
In the end, Billie did not hear what Sandra was saying.
Billie was just recalling everything that happened when she met Malcolm with upset.
Malcolm was the kind of person who would stand out in the crowd no matter where he was. The whole world would be warm if one fell in love with him.
Malcolm walked out of the elevator and waited for Sergio to drive his car over. Under the setting sun, his tall figure was elongated.
Malcolm had one hand in his pocket, and his every move was casual and noble.
His deep gaze swept across the surroundings, and he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
The corners of Malcolm's mouth curled up. Just as he was about to walk over, a motorcycle suddenly stopped in front of Marilyn.
Malcolm stopped. His deep, dark eyes watched as Marilyn got on Roland's motorcycle and left.
The person that Marilyn was meeting tonight was actually Roland.
Seeing them leaving, Malcolm felt uncomfortable.
