NovelEnglishChapter 3135 Melissa narrowed her eyes at him and said, "I have to go to work!" Looking at her face, Marcus asked her softly, "Is Albert that important to you? Is that why you're working so hard for him?" She turned away.
She sat straight and looked in front.
After a long while, she said flatly, "I don't know how you got to that conclusion, but whatever it is you've convinced yourself of, you're wrong.
I'm not doing this for Albert or for the Watson Group.
I have a kid, and I have to put food on the table.
I won't be getting as much as I am now if I'm just taking things easy.
A high salary comes with a lot of responsibilities, too.

You'd flirt with other women to get back atand pushaway without a second thought.
Don't you get it? I'd rather work myself to death than have to rely on you.
"1 After a long while, Marcus said softly, "You do mind those women, don't you?" "Get out!" Melissa said angrily, getting a catch in her throat.
"I'm going to be late.
" This time, Marcus didn't make things difficult for her.
He exited the car without another word, and then closed the door.
The next moment, Melissa was driving away.
Loneliness lingered all over the space now that she was alone.
They had parted ways with a firm resolve, but that didn't mean that the separation didn't affect her.
She grieved the relationship, but no matter how sad she was, she wouldn't go back on her decision, especially when Marcus didn't respect her.
