Chapter 55: A person’s heart is the most dangerous
Marcus Arkwright.
The only son of the owner of the Arkwright Corporation, one of the largest department stores that had made in the Fortune 500 in the last two decades. It was no rumor that Marcus would be the next head of their family business. He was smart, charismatic, successful... and Fil’s target tonight.
"Hey," Fil smiled gracefully, watching him advance in her direction. "Where’s everyone?"
"They stepped inside for a while." Marcus shrugged as he sat on the stool where Marianne had previously sat. "You know the drill. Whenever Anton is here, things happen."
Her smile cracked, making him smile.
"Don’t worry. Vincent is not with them," he reassured. "He had to take a call. I heard you recommended the Hale Construction as part of the suppliers in the Solana Project."
"He got the call?"
"He didn’t say, but by the looks of it, it seemed that was the call for."
"I see." Fil smiled, rocking her head as she reached for her glass. "Marianne left to change. She spilled her drink."
"She’s probably tired. I heard she did an interview today." Marcus sat leisurely, eyes sliding to the corner where she was. "Everything okay?"
"Mhm." Fil looked back to check on Elise. Elise and Shanaiah were still on their spot, chatting. Knowing Elise and Shanaiah, they would get along for a while.
