Chapter 229: Thought so
"Unfortunately, I am that foolish co-worker. I can’t believe I fell for his lies and nearly cost me a friend. Just a couple of nights ago, he told me how much he loved Fil and earned my sympathy. I had to beg Fil to give him a chance — what a pathetic trash!"
Silence hung in the air right after Elise’s revelation. It took a full minute for everyone to process what they heard. Some laughed in surprise while others simply found how this unfolding entertaining. A few, however, couldn’t believe their ears and didn’t share the same amusement just like everybody else.
"You did, what?" Vincent scoffed.
For a moment, his mind just went blank. Marianne also furrowed her brows, confused as she never heard of this before. But then again, she immediately realized that Marcus had shown interest in Vincent, Fil, and Marianne’s relationship before Fil left.
Anton, on the other hand, furrowed his brows and glanced at Fil. Just then, he was reminded that on the day of the filming of his music video, Marcus suddenly showed interest right after Anton told him Fil was in it.
Did Marcus come that day not to support him, but to harass Fil? And Anton had no idea what was going on right under his nose.
"You fucking son of a bitch!" Anton growled and without thinking twice, he threw a jab straight into Marcus’s cheek.
Anton’s action subsequently loosened Marcus’s grip on Fil as the latter fell back on his bottom. He wanted to throw another one, just like how Marcus beat up Kenzo that night without mercy. But alas, Fil grabbed his arm to stop him.
"Fil," he called as he looked back, only to see Fil quietly shake her head.
"You fucker..." Marcus touched the corner of his mouth while looking up at Anton. "Do you think I don’t know what you’re doing?"
"No one cares about what he’s doing, you sneaky son of a bitch!" Vincent roared as he marched toward Marcus, his fist balled into a tight fist. "I knew it! You wanted her for yourself, hah!?"
