At that point, she had no choice but to wait for Marcus to finish his work so she could clear up the
misunderstanding, explaining what happened last night if she could.
Annie sighed and went to the cafeteria to begin the long wait.
Marcus’ meeting went on for two hours, and it was already lunchtime by the time it finished.
Staff began to flood into the cafeteria, and some of Annie’s ex-colleagues waved hello and dropped by for a chat
when they saw her.
Annie quickly finished her conversation with her ex-colleagues and went up to Marcus when she saw him walking in.
Marcus ignored her and proceeded to queue up to get his food.
Annie tugged his sleeves gently. “Marcus, let’s go have lunch outside. My treat.”

Marcus took a bite of his food and scoffed. “You should ask Mister Aaron to have lunch with you instead of being
here with me.”
