Goodbye, My Love

With the strand of hair securely in her possession, Marina’s spirits soared. She finally examined Carl, the assistant who had perpetually lingered in Marco’s shadow.

Carl was indeed attractive. Boasting well-chiseled facial features and a well-proportioned physique, he surpassed many of the heirs of the wealthy families she was acquainted with.

A notion flashed through Marina’s mind. She seized Carl’s hand, leaning in with a flirtatious gesture. “Mr. Dixon, I appreciate your assistance this time. If you continue to serve me in the future…”

But the instant she approached closer, Carl deftly sidestepped her, his eyes reflecting a hint of terror. He cleared his throat, attempting to regain his composure.

“Miss Bryant, my presence here is only temporary. I’m heavily engaged with work at the company and need to return immediately. If Marco grows suspicious, we risk exposure, which could have catastrophic consequences.”

Marina nodded in agreement, completely oblivious to Carl’s deception.
