Aaron raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Oh? So you're not here for me? Sorry, I shouldn't have assumed."
After that, he walked past her to go into his office.
Annie's lips twitched out of anger and resignation. 'He did that on purpose, I swear! How have I never noticed how much of a scheming b*stard he could be?'
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' eyes finally softened a little. After a brief moment of silence, he said, "Annie, if you're serious about me, how about we get married?"
'What?!' Annie thought she had heard wrong. "What… What did you just say?"
Marcus looked at her gently, like how he used to, and said seriously, "I said, how about we get married? Only then will I feel secure in our relationship. I won't have to worry about another man stealing you away then."
'Marriage? Is he really proposing to me right now? Here? In a cafeteria…? Isn't he being a little too hasty?' thought Annie.
