Goodbye, My Love

Chapter 1076

Suddenly, she could hear the sound of footsteps approaching.

Unaware of the true identity of the person behind her, Loraine, facing away from the door, didn’t ponder too

deeply. Assuming it was Jennie returning, she placed her trust in the person behind her, lifted her hair to expose

most of her pristine, smooth back, and gestured for the person to zip up her attire.

“Where have you been? I've been calling out for you...”

Her words were interrupted as a hand made contact with her back. The coarseness of the hand was a stark

contrast to what she'd expected, sending a shiver down her spine.

With a sudden sense of fear, she spun around.

It wasn’t Jennie!

How could she have been so naive? Jennie was never this quiet.

Loraine’s heart pounded in her chest as she stared at the man before her. Regaining her senses, she addressed

him with a mix of surprise and indignation, “What brings you here?”

Marco's gaze was intense, his throat parched as he tried to find his voice. Swallowing, he finally managed to

respond, “This hotel is part of the Bryant Group. The manager informedof the incident. | cto check on

the situation and heard you calling for someone.”

Loraine retorted sharply, “Even if this is your property, you have no right to barge in. Would Mr. Bryant be so

eager to help if any other woman needed assistance?”

Taken aback, Marco shook his head, responding, “No. | knew it was you.

Your tone sounded urgent... | feared something might have happened to you.”

Loraine was left speechless. She suddenly recalled a familiar vehicle parked outside her workplace. Her eyes

narrowed with suspicion.

“Marco, have you been trailing me? | noticed your car outside my office.”

Marco was surprised, but he didn’t deny it and nodded silently.

“I... I wasn't trailing you. | was just concerned, so | decided to stop by.”

This explanation cfrom the man who had followed her all the way to the dressing room of the VIP suite.

Amused and irritated, Loraine rolled her eyes at him, ordering, “Would you please exit now?”

With silent compliance, Marco vacated the cubicle, carefully shutting the door behind him.

Loraine, free of tension, collapsed onto a chair, her dress hitched up a bit. Her gaze wandered, detached from

her surroundings.

The sensation of his touch on her back lingered in her memory.

Suddenly, the door swung open. Jennie swept in and said, “Lorrie, are you hungry? The ball tonight is severely

lacking in the food department. | went and gathered sfood and beverages. Come, fuel up.

Dancing is a workout after all!”

It was then that Loraine connected the dots regarding Jennie’s earlier disappearance. Apparently, Marco hadn't

crossed paths with her.
