Chapter 3203: Chapter 3203

Melissa was both shocked by Marcus’ words.

She could hardly believe her ears that he had said such words publicly.

Moreover, she knew she was Marcus’ only woman throughout the years, so he shouldn’t have been this smooth in flirting, right? So how could he speak in such a wild manner?

But since Melissa was in a good mood, she replied with a snort, “Just wait and see.

”

This response did not annoy Marcus.

Instead, he said offhandedly, “Come on over.

We can still play a few rounds before we lose the light.

”

Melissa didn’t say no.

But since she didn’t want to go with him alone, she took her secretary with her in the company car.

By now, the twilight was beginning to approach, but the scenery still looked marvelous and the evening breeze felt cool on everyone’s skin.

Hence, Melissa changed into sportswear and a loose jacket before beginning the journey.

When they arrived at their destination, she pulled off the jacket and handed it to her secretary before grabbing the golf club.

To her surprise, eight people were also present at the golf course with Marcus.

All of them were senior executives of Fowler Group.

What was most surprising to Melissa was that among them was an old acquaintance of hers, Ryan.

She couldn’t comprehend why Marcus had allowed Ryan to keep working for him since he didn’t like him very much.

He had even recently promoted Ryan to the position of manager and now, he had allowed him to come to the golf course.

But Melissa didn’t say anything or ask any questions.

Though she and Marcus were not on an equal footing, they were still rivals in the business world.

As for Ryan, the only thing he could do now was to pick golf balls for his boss, Marcus.

But the way Ryan was so submissive and eager while he did this made Melissa very surprised.

She couldn’t help but take more than a second glance at him.

But Ryan, on the other hand, didn’t even look at her.

It was as if he didn’t know her.

Apparently, Marcus was very good at bringing people under his control.

At this point, Marcus walked over to Melissa and said to her in a serious tone, “Miss Brown,

you’ve really kept us waiting.

”

He was only pretending to sound displeased, and Melissa also responded in a similar manner, “Oh, I’m so sorry.

Something urgent came up and I just had to stay and take care of it.

”

Marcus didn’t say anything in response.

Instead, he just went ahead to briefly introduce the people around him to Melissa.

Most of them were senior members of Fowler Group who had been with the company since Korbyn was CEO.

They were not young men by any stretch.

Hence, they were all highly experienced.

But despite their age, they had no wish to retire.

Melissa shook hands with each of them as graciously and respectfully as she could.

But these men had heard some rumors about what was supposedly going on between these two.

Only a few days ago, they heard that Marcus had broken up with Melissa, but now, he had brought her here to play golf with them.

Yet, he had just called her Miss Brown.

It was all very confusing.

Were they still together or not?

Determined to find out the true state of their relationship, one of them said to Melissa, “Miss Brown, I just heard that you received some investment from Mr.

Scott’s company.

Alan is a straightforward man, but he’s also very smart.

It’s not easy to pull off what you’ve achieved.

”

“Well,” Melissa responded with a faint smile, “Waston Group is in business.

We welcome investment from all and sundry.

”
