Marcus didnât quite catch the locationâs name as he busied himself reading the document.
He held his forehead and replied nonchalantly, âJust email me the details of the time and place once theyâre finalized.
â
âAlright.
â
Sylvia nodded slightly and left.
In the afternoon, Marcus got an email.
The gathering time was scheduled for eight in the morning on the following day.
The staff would then be transported to their destination by bus.
Marcus didnât usually participate in these sorts of events.
However, he thought it might be good to change his routine and unwind a little.
As word got out that the CEO would also be at the team-building event, the women working at Fowler Group were excited.
Marcus was still single.
The female employees were keen on flirting with him.
They thought, if Melissa once caught his eye, why couldnât they?
At least 18 different rumors circulated about Melissa in the company.
But none of it was true.
No one knew that it was Marcus who was dumped, and that he had lost both money and Melissa.
The team-building event was planned for two days.
Marcus packed just a light travel bag for it.
He didnât have an assistant with him.
Sylvia had organized for a new secretary to manage Marcusâ tasks.
By chance, this new secretaryâs last name was also Brown.
The new secretary was Sophia Brown.
She had a charming appearance.
After a brief glance, Marcus nonchalantly passed his luggage to her.
Sophia offered a smile.
âMr.
Fowler, just have some restaurant.
And donât worry.
Iâll let you know once we reach.
â
Her demeanor was composed and self-assured.
Sophia have a completely opposite personality to Melissa, who was quite shy and timid.
Marcus closed his eyes and reflected on how distinctly different the two were.
Marcus carried himself with an air of dignity.
As he settled into a seat at the back of the bus, he promptly shut his eyes.
The other passengers were almost too nervous to even breathe loudly, much less sing or make merry.
They were cautious even while drinking water, fearing any disturbance.
However, the women on the bus occasionally touched up their makeup and wished for Marcus to notice them.
