Chapter 1371


    Curiosity got the better of Annie. Seeing that they were alone in the elevator, she could not help but


    ask, “Miss Xante, do you like Sunny?”


    Xante’s expression remained neutral. “What do you think?”


    Annie gave it some thought. “Umm… I think you at least don’t dislike him. Knowing you, Miss Xante,


    you would’ve ignored him if you didn’t like him. Though, I feel like the man just now is more suitable for


    you because Sunny is just too immature.”


    Xante smiled lightly. She did not give anyment on what Annie said but instead asked, “Are you


    here for Aaron?”


    Annie’s face contorted unnaturally at the mention of Aaron. She then shook her head and said, “No, I’m


    here for Marcus.”


    Ding! The elevator door opened.


    Xante walked out of the elevator and said, “Alright. Go ahead, then.”


    Annie was slightly annoyed that she could not extract any information out of Xante.

    Xante might seem unapproachable at times, but she was not cold-hearted. For example, she might


    have behaved impassively when Annie asked her questions, but she at least responded with a smile


    despite not answering outright.


    Annie admired a strong, independent woman like Xante. It was as if nothing could ever faze her. She,


    on the other hand, could not even let go of a man who did not like her for a guy who was crazy about


    her.


    She walked in the opposite direction where Xante was taking to arrive at Marcus’ desk. Seeing him


    busy typing on his keyboard, she took a deep breath before approaching him.


    “Hey, Marcus.”


    Marcus turned when he heard her voice. His shock was overtaken by a sour expression. “What are you


    doing here?”


    “I couldn’t exin myself on the phone yesterday because of how hectic everything was, so I’vee


    to exin it to you face-to-face.”


    Marcus turned back and continued to work on hisputer while saying rudely, “I’m busy right now! I


    have a presentation to give at a meetingter, so you should go back.”


    “Oh. It’s okay. I can wait at the cafeteria until you’re free. I’ll let you get on with your work, then.”


    Annie knew Marcus was angry at her because he never treated her so coldly before. After yesterday,


    so she should do something to show her sincerity in apologizing.


    As soon as she turned to head to the cafeteria, she knocked into a man dressed in an expensive


    tailored suit.


    A familiar and premium cologne scent wafted into her nostrils. ‘I know this smell! I must’ve bumped into


    Aaron!’


    She looked up and saw Aaron’s handsome face smiling down at her.


    “Well, someone came bright and early to see me.”


    Annie frowned. ‘He obviously knows I’m not here to see me, yet he still says something like this.’


    “No, Mister Aaron, I’m not here—”


    Aaron interrupted her by patting her head and saying, “Why are you up so early? Are you not tired?


    You did sleep around dawn after all.”


    Marcus got up to take a document to photocopy when he overheard their conversation. Before he left,


    he gave a curt nod toward Aaron as a greeting. He knew he could not afford to cross his boss, but he


    could at least avoid him. After all, out of sight, out of mind.


    Annie knew Marcus must have misunderstood them when she saw him leave.


    “Why did you have to say something ambiguous? You know that I’m not here to see you!” said Annie


    angrily.
