âSheâll come to terms with it.
â
Mark paused and spoke in a low tone to Peter.
âYou know, Peter, what I regret most is having had too many girlfriends before I met Cecilia.
If I had known that one day I would spend my life with her,
I wouldnât have indulged in such a carefree life.
â
For someone like him, physical needs werenât of paramount importance.
He hung out with those women to kill time.
In truth, he didnât truly care for them.
However, he understood that most of the women would mind his history, including Cecilia.
Peter tried to provide solace.
In the afternoon, Cathy packed her belongings and quickly left for Tashkao.
Her colleagues were surprised but surmised that it was Mark who had arranged this.
As a result, they dared not discuss Cathy any further.

Mark remained occupied until the end of his workday.
Just before leaving, he called Cecilia, âWhat are you up to?â
Cecilia had just finished her work on the other end of the phone.
She had been assisting Zoey in preparing ingredients for the Christmas Day party.
She had received several boxes of asparagus and decided to send one to her family in Duefron.
While taking a break, Mark called her.
She playfully complained, âIâm exhausted from housework!â

Mark guessed that she might have been helping Zoey in the kitchen, so he teased her, âMore exhausted than last nightâs activities? Well, it could be.
You barely exerted much energy last night.
â
Cecilia blushed at his flirtatious words.
Mark unbuttoned his shirt and said gently, âWell, Iâd intended to take you out for shopping, dinner, and a movie tonight.
Since youâre tired, maybe I should reschedule.
â
âNo, Iâm not tired,â Cecilia quickly interjected, her voice anxious.
Iâm not tired at all!â
Mark chuckled, hinting at the previous nightâs activities.
âEven after last night?â
Clearly, he was flirting with her.
