Goodbye, My Love

Seeing the current situation, she became even more conscious of his emotions. She approached him with a composed expression and tried to act as natural as possible.

On this occasion, Marco wasn’t formally dressed. His overall style leaned more towards casual, and he had a smile on his face. He had transformed from an unapproachable and ruthless CEO to someone that was easygoing and relatable.

Loraine couldn’t help but chuckle internally. But outwardly, she carefully chose her words. “It seems the Maybach is a bit slow. I have a few sports cars sitting in my garage, and they’re all in good condition. How about you drive one of those?”

Knowing how snobbish some members of the Bryant Group could be, she felt that Marco couldn’t afford to be seen driving such an old car around, lest he become the target of ridicule and sarcasm.

Marco himself seemed to understand her consideration and his smile deepened slightly. He didn’t say anything. He simply leaned forward to open the passenger door and invited her in.

Loraine didn’t try to persuade him any further. With a shrug and a sigh, she stepped into the car.

But just then, Marco whispered softly into her ear, “Loraine, this seat is reserved exclusively for you.”

Loraine was taken aback by his words. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

The seat was beside the driver’s, clearly meant for his spouse.

Loraine couldn’t help but blush at this realization. But seeing the lack of wear and tear on the seat, she subconsciously asked, “Hasn’t anyone ever sat in this seat before?”

“Never,” Marco said firmly.

“Loraine, this car holds great significance to me. You’re not only the first person to sit in this seat, but you’re also the first person I’ll be picking up in this car.”

“Why?” Loraine asked, her heart already racing.

Marco smiled, “Because I bought this car for myself alone when I first took over Bryant Group and won my first major deal. When they took all my assets and properties, only this car was left.”

When Marco arrived from abroad, Bryant Group was on the verge of going bankrupt. Everyone thought he was a newbie and no one thought highly of him. But eventually, he proved them wrong. After achieving the supposedly impossible feat of saving the company, he bought himself a car to celebrate. Though the Maybach Later became very old, he kept it well maintained because of its symbolic significance.

Loraine’s heart raced faster and faster. She felt his words were more moving than any sweet talk she had ever heard in her life.

Clearly, he had made sure that she was the first and only person to share with him something of such extraordinary importance. This touched her deeply.

Meanwhile, Marco got into the car from the driver side and leaned over to fasten her seatbelt. Loraine’s breath hitched, her face flushed completely, and her hands nervously gripped the seat as she stammered,

“I… I can do it myself.”

Despite her words, she did not offer any resistance to Marco’s proximity. She was only shy.

Marco looked at her blushing face and intentionally leaned in closer, his warm breath caressing her ear.

“Last night, you mentioned that you spent 6@ million dollars to get me. Since I’m yours now, isn’t it normal for me to help fasten your seatbelt?”

Loraine stared at him with wide eyes, her breath caught in her throat.
