Goodbye, My Love

“Loraine, I owe you an apology for my earlier lack of courtesy. Your aptitude in architecture is quite unique! I’ve never encountered someone who employs natural Light so intensively in their designs. I’m relieved that my misunderstanding didn’t overshadow your brilliance.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Loraine responded with a gentle smile, choosing not to mention that if she weren’t the head of the Universe Group, the false accusations against her might have left her in a ridiculed and unappreciated position.

Fortunately, the situation had been cleared up, and now nobody would question her prowess and creativity.

Klein was quite impressed with Loraine, dreaming about assigning all of

Vagow’s major construction plans to her in the future.

Being applauded by Leopold was no small feat, and her designs could potentially transform Vagow into a Landmark, stimulating economic growth and even boosting Klein’s own fame.

Overwhelmed by the possibilities, Klein could hardly contain his delight and cheerfully suggested, “Now that we’ve settled on the plan, shall we raise a glass to our success and bid farewell to the recent misfortunes?”

Knowing that Klein was referring to Keely’s plagiarism scandal, Leopold nodded. Wishing to make amends, he offered, “This one’s on me.”

“No need, Professor Zizka. Let’s head to the fancy restaurant run by the Bryant Group. I insist on paying the bill.” Marco, hoping for an opportunity to spend more time with Loraine, swiftly took charge of the situation.

He directed his gaze at Loraine, eager for her response.

But Loraine replied hesitantly, “I won’t be able to join you. I have other commitments.”

Marco couldn’t hide his curiosity. “What is it? Do you have another engagement? With a man or a woman?”

Seeing Marco’s anxious face, Loraine understood his worries. She shot him a look and clarified, “I have to visit my grandpa at the hospital.”

Aldo had been showing good signs of recovery in recent days. Loraine made it a point to visit him post work hours.

Marco, feeling deflated, offered, “I can drive you there and also pay a visit to Mr. Torres.”

Loraine burst into laughter, squinting at Marco. “Visit? My grandpa might have a fit seeing you. Let’s not add stress to his recovery.”

Stunned, Marco responded with a hint of grievance, “But I did arrange for the surgical robot. I don’t think Mr. Torres dislikes me that much.”

Hearing this, Loraine pondered. Yes, Marco did help secure the surgical robot. But Aldo had a temper, and even though he’d compensate Marco for the robot, he’d still harbor no fondness for him.

With his stubborn nature, Aldo was often harder to deal with than

Loraine’s own uncles.

Understanding that he couldn’t impose his will on Loraine, Marco let out a disappointed sigh and conceded, “Alright, if Mr. Torres dislikes my presence, I won’t visit. I understand that my past errors

can’t be overlooked by simply doing good deeds now. The Torres family has every right not to want to see me…”

Sensing his guilt, Loraine reassured him, “That’s not what I meant. You saved my grandpa’s Life. We’re all truly grateful.”

She then promised, “I’ll speak highly of you to my grandpa.”
