He Looked down at the woman in his arms and narrowed his eyes.
Loraine’s lips were red and swollen from the rough kiss, her eyes empty and cheeks blushing.
She clutched onto his clothes, gasping for air.
Marco was tempted to continue. But the footsteps outside brought him back to reality.
He took a deep breath and let go of Loraine.
The door suddenly swung open at that moment.

It was Hubert. Upon seeing Loraine leaning against Marco, he was stunned.
Hubert had been single in the army for many years and, Like Rowan, he was self-disciplined and avoided women.
He sensed the odd atmosphere but didn’t think much of it, only concerned that Loraine was too drunk to walk
and could hardly stand.
“The car is ready,” Hubert said seriously. “Letsend Loraine home.
Thank you for taking care of her.”
Marco, who had been caring for Loraine for stime, wasn’t embarrassed at all. In fact, he held her tightly,
showing no signs of letting go.
Hubert scratched his head and gently helped Loraine from Marco’s arms.
Loraine was too dizzy to respond and was led away obediently.
Marco held her hand tightly, as if reluctant to part with her.
Hubert shot Marco a confused glance as he helped Loraine out the door.

Marco slowly released his lips and loosened his grip.
He knew that the timing was not right, so he could only watch as
Loraine was led away.
Klein, who had followed Hubert into the room, stepped aside and observed the scene before sitting down next to
Marco and patting his shoulder
“Well done, Marco. You two looked quite intimate just then. Is there any progress between you and Loraine?”
Marco remained silent, his gaze fixed in the direction that Loraine had gone, his eyes appearing distant.
Klein had to wave his hand in front of Marco several times and called out to him before he snapped out of his
daze.
