(⊙_⊙)Mark was shocked by what Hazel said.
Management fees for a mistress?
Who was Hazel referring to while saying this?
Could it ... be Elaine?
Did Elaine have management fees for a mistress?
Mark's face suddenly turned pale.
Elaine was careless without paying attention to Hazel's words. She stood up, shouted at Lucas who
was frowning and waved at him.
"Mr. Lee! You're also here. Come and join us!"
Hazel tried to stop Elaine with a red face.
***
"Well, what are you calling him for? I don't know him! Why do you want a stranger here? Elaine, Stop! I
hate you!"
As expected, Lucas walked towards their table.
But he stared at Mark speculatively, just like a police dog.
Lucas stood beside Mark and chuckled. He stretched out his hand with a cold expression.
"Hello, I'm Lucas."
Mark immediately stood up. He also saw the hostility in Lucas' eyes, which confused him because
there was nothing between Hazel and him.
How could Mark have ever thought that Lucas was just being angry for his friend?
"Hello, Mr. Lee. I've heard a lot about you. I'm Mark Wilson."
They were about to shake hands.
However, the moment they caught hold of each other's hand, they tightened their grip.
Seeing this, Elaine curiously blinked her eyes and asked, "Well? Do you need to shake hands for that
long?"
Only then did the two men let go of their hands awkwardly.
"Wilson? So Glen is your..."
"He is my eldest brother. I'm the third child in my family."
"Oh, I see. I've heard of you. They say you were born smart."
Lucas half smiled. "Glen and I are good friends."
Actually, they weren't exactly friends but just business giants.
Hazel drank coffee with a dark face.
'Lucas, what do you think you are doing? When did this become about you meddling in Mark's affairs?'
'Who do you think you are?'
Only Elaine could not see what was happening and actually looked very happy.
"Wow, do you also know each other? That's great. What a small world! Mr. Lee, take a seat."
Lucas sat down with an expression difficult to read and looked at Mark. The third child of the Wilson
family was indeed very smart at a young age. It was said that his father failed to handle a project back
then and the twelve-year-old Mark helped him out by coming up with a good idea. Because of this, he
was highly praised in the business at that time.
Therefore, Mark had long been famous for his intelligence.
***
If Mark and Elaine were together ... Emmett was likely to have a strong rival in love.
"Mark, don't you wanna know why I would know Elaine?"
Lucas deliberately paused in hesitation.
What he planned to say next was that because Elaine was his buddy's woman!
However, Mark was very smart. He just smiled.
"What's there to be curious about people knowing each other? Besides, Elaine is so cute and will
definitely have many friends."
Mark smiled at Elaine, who nodded happily in response.
"Yes! That's true! It's an amazing thing to encounter someone and become friends!"
Seeing their interaction, Lucas was almost at a loss for words.
Then he turned to look at Elaine.
"Elaine, did you know that only couples would come to this cafeteria in your school?"
The subtext was:
'You silly girl, Elaine. What is your relationship with Mark? Why are you here for coffee and food with
him?'
But Elaine looked surprised with her eyes wide open and asked innocently,
"Is it against the law for those who are not a couple to come and eat?"
Lucas was speechless.
He was finally aware of Elaine's ability to stun someone at times.
"You guys eat. I have something to do this afternoon and will go first, bye. Mark, let's go sing and have
fun some other day."
Hazel smiled at Elaine and Mark, getting up and leaving.
"See you later." Elaine waved her hand happily.
She was still eating the cake.
Mark immediately stood up and planned to see Hazel off.
"Hazel, let's go out for fun someday. My treat."
Hazel nodded and grinned.
Seeing her smile, Lucas immediately felt uncomfortable.
It was as if his woman was winking at other men in front of him!
***
Lucas bounced up instantly.
He hurried up to follow Hazel and walked into Mark on the way. "Hazel, I'll go with you."
"I don't know you!"
Hazel curled her lips towards Lucas and trotted away first.
Lucas gritted his teeth in anger. He stood next to Mark and whispered,
"Mark, you'd better keep your hands off Elaine...."
"Mr. Lee, isn't the girl you're pursuing Hazel? So don't worry about the others."
Mark whispered back, remaining calm with a bright smile, not showing any sign of anger on his face.
Lucas was stunned. He was about to say something else when Mark had turned around and walked
inside.
"Damn it! So he knows Elaine is not available! How dare he have thoughts about her! I'll go tell
Emmett! Just wait and see! Humph!"
Lucas muttered to himself angrily and then chased after Hazel.
"Elaine, have you tidied your new dormitory yet? How about I help you with that after dinner?"
Mark and Elaine walked out of the couple's cafeteria side by side and he asked.
"Oh? That's good! Hazel and I haven't packed our things yet!"
It was easy for Elaine to get satisfied. She grinned and scratched her head, looking at Mark with the
head tilt and saying,
"Mark, you're so nice. I'm lucky to have a senior like you! Thanks...."
"What if I don't want to be your senior?" Mark muttered in a low voice.
"Well? What did you say, Mark?"
"Oh, nothing."
Mark replied with a meaningful smile.
He smiled and watched Elaine leave until she entered her classroom.
He had been waiting for Elaine for three years, but was she really that close with Emmett?
Mark frowned as he walked across the campus.
He was deep in thought.
Elaine was rumored to be Miss Underground.... She and Hazel suddenly moved into the professor's
villa....
Mr. Lee was so hostile to him just now....
All of this meant that Elaine had connections with a big shot!
"Elaine, you can go astray, but you have to be with me in the end!"
Mark clenched his fists with determination.
***
There was almost no conversation between them. Emmett, in particular, was as cold as an iceberg.
He was talkative In front of Elaine, but didn't feel like talking at all when staying with Marina.
Emmett had checked his watch twice.... The knitted eyebrows indicated that he was in suffering.
'Does it upset you that much to stay with me?'
'You don't even want to talk to me?'
'At least say something!'
Marina curled her lips with her head down, fiddling with the high-end patterned napkin.
She quietly looked up at the handsome man sitting in the opposite. Seeing his cold eyes, she couldn't
help but tremble again.
No matter how cold and unfeeling he was, she had to get him!
Did he drink it ... just now?
She was halfway there!
Thinking of this, Marina unconsciously smiled.
"What are you happy about?"
All of a sudden, Emmett broke the silence and asked Marina coldly.
"What?"
(⊙_⊙)Marina was shocked and hurried to look at Emmett. Only then did she find that he was looking
out of the window, instead of looking at her!
A hint of sarcasm and disdain could be noticed on his handsome face, and he half smiled with
arrogance.
He didn't look at her, but could sense the change of her expression!
"I'm not feeling happy."
Marina was fidgeting with her fingers and raised her eyebrows.
Of course she was happy, but she definitely wouldn't admit it!
Emmett slowly turned his head and then finally set his eyes on Marina's face.
With cold eyes, he seemed to be looking at her or something else.
In a word, he acted as if she weren't there!
"Ms. Clooney, ever since you came back from abroad, you seem to have a lot of thoughts. Is there
something good happening abroad?"
When Emmett mentioned the latter part, his cold eyes suddenly became sharp and ferocious!
Seeing this, Marina was overwhelmed with fright as if she were about to be stabbed by daggers.
***
... Marina couldn't help but tremble backwards and secretly gasped in shock!
What a terrifying gaze!
Did he ... find anything?
"No, no ... Isn't it ... just relaxation?"
"So that's it...."
Emmett averted his gaze and looked down. A ray of light shone on his face through the window,
silhouetting his prominent nose.
Against the light, his soft lips made him look more attractive.
