But Marco was not just any man. Instead of pitying her, his face turned cold and his gaze becvery
unfriendly.
When Carl saw this, he quickly told Etta, “Well, you can Leave now.”
In the company, there were many women who constantly tried to get close to Marco. As long as they never went
out of line, he simply turned a blind eye to their antics. Marco, on his part, didn’t take them seriously either.
But Etta was so bold that she actually offended Loraine, thereby stepping on Marco’s nerves.
Carl knew for sure that Etta would be fired.
When Etta saw that her attempt to gain pity had failed, she knew she was pretty much in trouble, but yet, she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas still determined to struggle.
Marco was young, promising, handsand rich. Most importantly, he was the CEO of Bryant Group. For
countless women, he was the dream Lover.
It had cost her a lot of effort to get the position of secretary. All she wanted was to get closer to him. Etta firmly
believed that if she got the chance to get into his life, she would be better than Loraine, his ex-wife.
Etta made up her mind never to leave. She couldn't Leave Bryant Group after all she had done to get here.
With this in mind, she worked harder on her acting. Her eyes becred and she began to sob.
“Miss Torres, | know | was wrong. But | was just trying to do my job.
The coffee and desserts are carefully prepared by me. | have even learned of everyone's Likes and dislikes. So,
please kindly forgivefor what I did wrong.”
Even though Etta was speaking to Loraine, she kept looking at Marco while assuming a pitiful expression as if
Loraine was making things difficult for her, and she was only caring for Marco.
Loraine let out an angry laugh.
“You're so sweet. But how cyou don’t know that Marco doesn’t Like desserts?”
Truly, Marco never added sugar to his coffee nor did he eat desserts.
Even though Marco never treated her nicely during the three years when she was his wife, still, no one knew his

Etta was shocked to hear Loraine say this. But she quickly recovered herself and pasted the pitiful expression on
her face again.
Looking at the desserts she had brought, she couldn't help but turn red with embarrassment. Still, she was not
willing to give up. She retorted, “How do you know he doesn’t Like desserts? You...”
But before she could complete the statement, the expression on Marco's face promptly shut her up.
Loraine used to be Marco's wife. How could she not know Marco?
It was at this moment that Etta finally understood that she was no match for Loraine in every aspect, and it
becclear to her that
Marco was unattainable.
