Destined by One Night: The CEO's Pursuit

Chapter 13

Sergio opened the door for Marilyn gentlemanly.

So Marilyn thanked him and got in the car.

Sergio started the car and waited for Malcolm.

Malcolm's voice on the phone was relatively loud. He seemed to be very angry.

After a while, he hung up the phone in rage and got in with the car door being fiercely pulled open.

Seeing Marilyn in the car, Malcolm was a little stiff at first. He embarrassedly withdrew his gaze.

Noticing the slight change in Malcolm's expression, Sergio said nothing but got them on the road.

Marilyn found it quite uneasy with Malcolm sitting aside.

It was said that Malcolm hated girls.

Some people even doubted whether he liked girls or boys.

They said that it was very likely for him to be gay.

When Marilyn was in the branch company, she often heard the staff gossiping about Malcolm.

But they had sat in the same car today. And they were now even sitting side by side. Obviously, the rumors were not true.

Marilyn was a little uncomfortable. Suddenly she saw a strawberry-flavored lollipop between their seats!

She smiled and asked, "Mr. Lowe, can I have a lollipop?"

Gazing at her deeply, Malcolm picked up a lollipop, unpacked it, and then handed it to Marilyn.

His warm gesture made Marilyn smile. "Thank you, Mr. Lowe! I always feel that the strawberry-flavored lollipops are particularly sweet and have a taste of happiness."

Malcolm was shocked by her words!

The sweet voice of a girl crossed his mind.

"Malcolm, here you are. It's a strawberry-flavored lollipop. Try it! It contains the taste of happiness."

He did not like sweets. At that time, his mother had left him.

During that time, he was so dispirited that he did not want to do anything.

To make him happy, Carolyn always tried everything to cheer him up.

She would even stuff the food into his mouth if he refused to eat.

Malcolm took a deep breath and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Why do you feel strawberry-flavored lollipops have a taste of happiness?"

He had also asked Carolyn this question back then.

Marilyn replied without thinking, "The sweet taste gives me pleasure!" Did people need a reason for like something?

But she was also in puzzlement at the reason why she especially liked strawberry-flavored lollipops!

With the lollipop in her mouth, she softly rotated the stick with her slender fingers.

Her eyes were gentle and her red lips were as seducing as cherries. It was as if she was inviting him.

"Malcolm, you're so stupid. That's because the sweet taste makes me feel good!"

Their answers were so similar.

Malcolm stared at her with his dark eyes. His fists clenched together in excitement.

Sergio glanced at who was about to lose control of his emotions Malcolm in the rearview mirror.

The setting sun shone on half of his handsome face, and the loneliness on it became more and more obvious. Sergio knew that Malcolm was very excited at the moment.

Sergio was afraid that the bigger hope Malcolm had, the more disappointed he would be.

He wouldn't take Marilyn as Carolyn, would he?

When Carolyn had the accident, she was already over six years old and already had memories.

There was only one possibility that she had not come back for so many years. She had died.

They all understood it, but no one said it out. This was Malcolm's spiritual ballast, the only hope to support him to stay alive. He wanted to find Carolyn and bring his mother back to his side. This was also the reason why he worked so hard for money.

Sensing Malcolm's burning gaze, Marilyn felt somewhat uncomfortable, so she looked out of the window.

Under the setting sun, the traffic was like a tide. It was rush hour, and the traffic was in a jam.

To Marilyn, she suddenly felt that it might be much more comfortable walking than sitting in the same car with Malcolm.

Suddenly, a beep sounded. Marilyn got a Line message and looked down at her phone.

Malcolm also slightly recovered from his thought, but his gaze was still on her side face.

The way she looked down at the phone had simply overlapped with Carolyn's childhood appearance.

Malcolm couldn't help but smile.

He wanted to hug Carolyn. He missed her a lot!

In the past, he had always felt that Carolyn was too noisy. He did not take those words of concern seriously at all.

But after Carolyn was missing, no one had continued to nag him.

He was so lonely. It was like he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't walk out of that abyss!

The corners of Marilyn's mouth were suddenly curled up slightly. Her eyes looked even brighter with the light smile.

Roland had sent her a Line message to warn her not to drink too much. He would come over to pick her up so that she wouldn't have to worry about her safety.

Roland had always been so warm-hearted!

Marilyn took this opportunity to tell Roland that she was going to stay at the headquarters.

While on the other side, after Roland got the message, he fell silent.

He was currently in the office of the branch company.

He was dressed in a well-cut and expensive handmade suit. His delicate short hair made his facial features distinct, making him look steady and mature.

It was completely different from the way he looked when he was in casual clothes in his spare time.

He narrowed his eyes slightly. When he read the message from Marilyn, he couldn't help but become lost in thought.

"Roland, I've decided to work at the headquarters. Dominic, Arturo, and Laverne will also come to Fielddell for education."

After staring at the message for a long time, he slightly blinked his beautiful eyes and slowly picked up his phone. His sexy lips were tightly pursed and his eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

With the screen lit up, he typed on the keyboard with his slender fingers.

He quietly stared at the few lines of words he typed in, hesitating whether to send it or not.

After thinking for a while, he deleted the words and quickly filled the dialog box with a reply. Then he deleted it again.

Such movement was repeated five or six times.

Finally, he made up his mind!

He suddenly curled up the corner of his lips, forming a gentle smile. His fingers quickly typed in a line of words, "Lynn, where you are will be where I am."

This time, he sent out the message without hesitation.

His mood suddenly became much better. Marilyn was very smart. With this message, she would definitely understand what he meant.

He held his hands together and propped up his beautiful chin. The smile on his lips grew wider.

He was anxiously waiting for Marilyn to reply to his message!

Marilyn received the message and opened it. The moment she read the content, she was slightly stunned!

She quickly sent out a reply.

"Roland, you don't have to do this for me. I will feel burdened if you do this." She even added a playful expression.

She was surprised by Roland's decision.

Malcolm's business landscape had covered the entire Fielddell, even the whole country. He had many industries, but he especially liked fashion design.

Roland had put in a lot of effort in becoming the business leader of Goldmere. His development should not be affected because of her.

Roland quickly replied with a message, "Lynn, this is my decision, so you don't have to feel burdened. Have fun! I have to get off work now. I'll pick you up tonight." He added a smiley face at the end of the message.

Roland seemed to be in a good mood!

Marilyn took a look at the message and she couldn't help but feel even more stressed.

What Roland had done had given her a lot of pressure.
