Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 480:

Franco strolled into the administrative office with a cup of coffee in hand. When he saw that Marissa had finally arrived, he shot her a disgruntled look. Then, he turned to Rita and handed her the coffee with a flourish, saying, “Rita, you’ve been working non-stop. Take a breather!”

Smirking, Marissa plopped down on a chair Rita had just cleaned. She casually pulled out her phone, scrolling through her social media feed as if she had all the time in the world.

Rita accepted the coffee from Franco with a grateful smile, “Thank you,” she said before offering it to Marissa. “Boss, would you like some coffee?”

Without lifting her head, Marissa took the coffee, sipping it nonchalantly. She didn’t bother with a “thank you,” continuing to scroll through her phone, seemingly oblivious to Franco’s presence.

Franco’s heart sank. He had gone out of his way to get the best coffee for Rita, hoping she’d take a much-needed break. But now, here she was, handing it over to Marissa, who accepted it without a second thought.

His frustration mounted as Marissa drank the coffee without acknowledging anyone. Even though Rita was a hired nanny, Franco felt Marissa should show her some respect.

Trying to keep his cool, Franco watched Marissa intently, hoping she’d feel at least a little guilty. But Marissa remained engrossed in her phone, completely ignoring him.
