She was open about it, even to her colleagues.
Everyone in the entertainment circle knew that Cecilia had a fiance and a son.
While many in the entertainment industry had heard of Mr.
Evans, they were surprised to find out that he was so young.
The director came to greet Mark.
Having held a leadership position for an extended period, Markâs expertise in dealing with people shone through.
He engaged in a brief conversation with the director, and soon the director displayed a significant level of respect for him.
Following some courteous exchanges, Mark made his exit.
By two in the afternoon, Cecilia had finished her work.
The assistant teased her about Mark coming to pick her up, knowing full well that he would.
Cecilia felt a warmth in her heart.
Markâs car was waiting outside.
He briefly exchanged pleasantries with her colleagues before he led her to the car.
They had been together for many years, yet she was seldom treated this way.
She took his hand and asked softly, âDid you have enough money with you? Iâm worried you donât.
â
Mark handed her his wallet and said, âCheck it and see.
If itâs not enough, Iâll get more.
â
Cecilia playfully replied, âYou can make payments with your phone now.
Who uses cash anymore? Youâre really getting old.
â
Mark replied, âBut you still love me even if Iâm old.
â
Cecilia blushed.
They arrived at an amusement park in the city.
Since it wasnât a weekend, there werenât many people.
Cecilia was a bit clumsy at the games.
But Mark turned out to be quite skilled, managing to play for an extended period with just a few tokens.
She wrapped her arms around him and murmured, âThis is unfair.
Youâve never played these games before, have you? Why are you so good at this?â
Mark played the claw machine and won several plushies for her.
He touched her head and quipped, âYour job is to stay pretty, and Iâll handle the rest.
â
In other words, he was suggesting that she was not very smart.
Cecilia pouted and nuzzled her face into his arms, behaving like a spoiled child.
