Chapter 3050: Chapter 3050

Marcus felt jealousy toward Albert?

Melissa, almost two decades younger than Albert, made their relationship seem improbable.

Moreover, recent rumors circulated about Albert and Jessie.

At the Cloud Club, Albert brought Melissa to the dinner appointment, resolute in securing the deal, which pleased the other party with favorable terms.

Besides, few companies in the nation could match the reliability of the Waston Group.

Following a lengthy dinner spanning four hours, the business negotiations neared completion, with the signing of the intent contract imminent.

Albert drank a lot.

As the project lead and Albert’s secretary, Melissa indulged in alcohol alongside him.

By midnight, after bidding farewell to the Summit Ltd representatives, Melissa found herself sprawled over the wash basin, struggling to regain composure.

While others recognized Melissa as Albert’s favorite, only she comprehended the extent of her efforts to reach this position.

Her journey had been fraught with hardships.

Leaning against the wall, Albert studied Melissa’s slender shoulders and delicate neck before exhaling a wisp of smoke.

Perhaps fueled by alcohol, Albert eventually uttered something heartfelt.

Melissa had been under his employ for three years.

In a husky voice, he parted his lips and uttered, “Melissa, this is not what I had in mind for you when I took you in.

”

Melissa wasn’t notably intoxicated.

“Mr.

Waston, you’re drunk,” she remarked.

Attempting to intervene, Melissa turned around, but Albert waved her off, insisting, “Let me speak.

”

He drew deeply from his cigarette.

He confessed, “I find myself in a conflicting position.

Part of me wishes for your reconciliation with Marcus, especially considering your son.

Yet, on the other hand, I hope he swiftly ties the knot upon his return, ensuring you two never reconnect.

Even if Marcus learns about Matthew down the line, the Fowler family won’t permit him to divorce and marry you due to their concern for appearances.

However, Marcus encountered you again upon his return, before any marriage arrangements were made.

”

“Mr.

Waston,” Melissa interjected.

Albert smiled wryly.

“That’s a relief, actually.

It will spare me the anguish.

”

Approaching her, he extended his hand as if to caress her hair.

His nostrils flared slightly, a sign of agitation.

Despite his past kindness towards Melissa, he now regards her highly for her hard-earned achievements.
