successful future cooperation!”
However, Loraine didn’t raise a glass; she instead coughed awkwardly, covering her mouth. She couldn't afford
to drink again.
Marco was usually a nonsocial person. He never took toasts from others so he didn’t drink as well.
Davy frowned. He went on about how they were party poopers, then stood up and said, “Forget it. We're done
with business, I'm going hto see my wife. You two can remain here together.”
And before Loraine and Marco could respond, he walked out and shut the door behind him.

Loraine and Marco were left all alone together in the private room.
Loraine met Marco’s burning eyes and turned away uneasily.
“The contract has been signed. I’m going to leave now.”
“Don’t leave!” Marco suddenly grabbed her hand, stopping her from walking away.
Loraine tried wriggling out of Marco's grip but was unsuccessful. She was left glaring coldly at him.
“Is there something else?”
Marco's lips pressed together. “I...”
Loraine knew what he wanted to say. She looked at his arm and sneered,

Marco could tell Loraine had caught him in his lie, so he said, “Thank you for taking care ofduring that
period.”

Loraine’s anger boiled. He was shameless!
She struggled to get away from him again, but he held on tight.
Exasperatedly, she yelled, “Let go of me!”
Marco's eyes were full of worry as he said, “You were terribly drunk last night. Are you feeling better now?”
As Obot, he had asked her this question already, hadn’t he? And he was still pestering her now.
Loraine scoffed and simply decided to play along. “Yes, so much better.
Thanks for the concern.” She was going to beat him at his own game.
