Betty slowly groaned as her eyes fluttered open weakly. Her entire body felt numb and heavy, almost like all the strength in her bones had been drained away completely. For a few seconds her vision remained blurry before she finally realized she was lying on a small infirmary bed inside the company clinic.“Betty? Are you okay?”Hearing the worried voice beside her, Betty slowly turned her head and saw Marcus sitting next to the bed. Betty swallowed dryly before nodding weakly. “Y-Yes... I think so.”Marcus let out a relieved sigh. "That's great".Betty slowly pushed herself up slightly while holding her forehead.Marcus immediately spoke again. “The nurse said you were diagnosed with extreme fatigue, stress, lack of sleep, and exhaustion. She said your body practically shut down because you have been overworking yourself too much.”Betty forced a weak smile. “I’m fine.”“No you are not,” Marcus said seriously. “You literally fainted while standing. You should rest.”Betty immediate

Marcus slowly stepped forward.“No one stressed your woman,” he said firmly. “In fact, it was quite the opposite.”Janet instantly scoffed loudly and pointed at him again.“Look at him. This is exactly what I was talking about,” she snapped angrily. “He is rude and always talks back. You seriously need to deal with him, Dennis.”Dennis narrowed his eyes coldly at Marcus. The atmosphere around him suddenly became heavier.“I think you do not value your position here,” Dennis said in a low voice filled with warning. “Should I just sack you immediately?”Marcus frowned. “Sack me? For what exactly?”Dennis looked slightly taken aback by the fact that Marcus still dared to question him.Marcus continued before the man could respond. “Is this how you have been running this place? Bullying workers because of your girlfriend?”The entire office instantly became silent.Betty’s face lost color immediately.Even Janet looked briefly stunned before her expression twisted into fury.Dennis himsel

Marcus immediately stopped walking the moment he heard Janet’s furious voice echoing across the department. “What the fuck is all this?!” Janet screamed while violently waving the proposal documents in the air. “You people spent almost an entire day working on this piece of rubbish and still had the confidence to submit it?” The entire office had gone silent. Workers secretly glanced over their computers while pretending to focus on work. Betty stood frozen in front of Janet’s desk, clearly shaken by the aggression directed at her. Janet angrily flipped through the pages before throwing some of them directly at Betty’s chest. “No substance. No direction. Nothing useful!” Janet barked. “Do you even know what a proper branding proposal looks like? This is complete nonsense.” Betty looked completely shocked. “Ma…” she said nervously. “We made sure to put everything into this project. We worked on it till midnight. It’s perfect.” Janet’s eyes widened instantly. “Oh?” she mocked
Chapter 84
Marcus was genuinely surprised. Not only had Janet and Dennis stolen the proposal, they had also deliberately lied that it was complete rubbish just to deceive him and Betty while taking all the credit for themselves. Natalie quickly noticed the strange look on Marcus’ face and frowned slightly. “What is it?” she asked curiously. “You do not like it?” Marcus slowly lifted his head. “Who submitted this proposal?” he asked calmly. Natalie answered immediately. “The team leader of the branding department and the branding department director. They really did a great job, right?” The two board leaders nodded in agreement. Marcus let out a quiet breath before placing the file gently on the table. “It is all a lie,” he said. The room instantly became silent. Natalie frowned deeply. “What do you mean?” Marcus looked directly at them. “This proposal was created by me and another intern named Betty,” he explained calmly. “We worked on it throughout the entire night. Janet insulted

Marcus calmly looked at both of them before speaking again.“So,” he said quietly, “are you still going to continue claiming that you wrote this proposal?”The moment those words landed—Dennis and Janet completely broke down.Both of them immediately dropped to their knees in panic. “Please forgive us!” Dennis blurted out desperately. “It is all a misunderstanding!”Janet hurriedly nodded while tears already formed in her eyes.“Yes! Please sir. Please forgive us. The proposal was technically assigned under our department, so we only passed it to them to work on for experience while we supervised everything.”Dennis quickly added, “Yes sir! We only guided them and balanced the project afterward.”Marcus stared at them coldly.“You are still lying even now,” he said.Both of them froze.“Janet literally called the proposal trash this morning,” Marcus continued. “And Dennis, you did not add a single thing to that project.”Natalie’s expression became even uglier hearing that.Marcus slo

Meanwhile, Jessica was in her office. She had already met with Mr. Smith, the man who was apparently a member of the Langstone family and the one heading the investment project Travis had mentioned. Even though Jessica was convinced the opportunity was real, she still had her reservations. Spending almost all of a company's available revenue on a single investment was never a good idea. She knew that better than anyone. It would be reckless and irresponsible to pour that much money into something that still carried a level of uncertainty. So she hesitated. Travis sat across from her and tried to convince her. "Why are you resisting this?" he asked. "This is hot bread. Opportunities like this don't come around every day." Jessica shook her head. "I understand that, but it's still too risky. The returns are attractive, but so is the amount we're putting in. One mistake and we could suffer." Travis sighed heavily. "What if we miss out? What if this becomes the biggest opportunit

Betty exhaled slowly and leaned back in her chair."I’ve spent hours on this," she admitted. "Going back and forth between them. But these two companies are just exceptional in their own way."Marcus stayed quiet as his eyes drifted back to the files on the desk.He studied Jessica’s file again.No matter what other bad behavior Jessica possessed, Jessica was still a strong businessperson. She had insight, experience, and a history that couldn’t be ignored. Then he glanced at Julia’s file. A newer record, and impressive growth with aggressive development. she had a clear potential worth investing in.Both choices were valid.But Marcus knew he couldn’t choose.If he picked one, it would look like favoritism. Worse, it would raise questions.He leaned back and finally spoke."Sorry," he said quietly. "I can’t choose."Betty frowned immediately."What do you mean you can’t choose? because you know the both ladies".She tilted her head, studying him."How do you even know both companies

Jessica didn’t even wait for Marcus to finish talking before she cut. “Hey, what do you have to say uhg, i thought you were ignoring me before,” she snapped sharply. Marcus paused for a moment, and wanted to talk again. Travis immediately stepped forward, voice rising as he chimed. “What? you were embrassed that we found that you are nobody just a clerk, and you have just been bluffing". "You are a lowlife and you will forever be!". Marcus finally turned his head slightly, his eyes calm but distant. he didn't bother to say anything again and just walked away. Travis clicked his tongue. “Coward. You can’t even talk. a shameless man...” “Enough.” Jessica interrupted Travis, telling him that its okay. Travis stopped mid-sentence, surprised. Jessica’s eyes stayed on Marcus for a moment before she finally looked at Travis. “I said enough. You always go too far. we are here to secure a deal we don't want any problem” Travis frowned, "I am just trying to embrassed him, just as h

Jessica gave Travis a sharp side-eye, her jaw tight with frustration. She hadn’t prepared anything. Not a single proposal, not even rough notes. Mr. Smith had sworn the deal was already secured — that all she had to do was show up and sign. Now that lie was collapsing right in front of her. Julia, sensing the tension, smiled politely and spoke first. “Okay, well… I’m ready.” Jessica forced a small nod, trying to hide her panic. “I’m ready too,” she said quickly, though her voice lacked conviction. Betty was about to begin when she suddenly looked toward the door. “Oh, before we start — meet our Assistant Sales Manager.,” Betty said with a respectful tone. The moment she spoke, the sound of footsteps approached. Everyone turned. Marcus stood at the entrance, calm and composed in a tailored navy suit, carrying an air of quiet authority. Julia’s eyes widened in genuine shock. Jessica felt her stomach drop. Travis looked the most rattled — his face went pale as he gulped loudly. “He

Jessica thought about it for a moment, her brows furrowing as doubt gnawed at her confidence. She turned to Travis with a skeptical look. “Did you really believe this Mr. Smith is someone worthy, and affiliated with Langstone? I have never seen him with them,” she said, her voice laced with uncertainty. Travis placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. “He already helped you many times. This isn’t the first. He is more powerful than he usually shows himself.” Jessica gulped, searching Travis’s eyes for any sign of hesitation. After a tense pause, she decided to believe him. It was easier than facing the alternative. Travis even added, “In fact, he would come out in public tomorrow and you shall see how powerful he is.” Jessica frowned but nodded slowly. Maybe then, she would see if he was truly legit. --- Meanwhile, that night at a quiet upscale restaurant, Julia sat at a corner table, waiting patiently. As soon as Marcus entered, she waved her hand lightly. He smiled and
