In the end, I was overwhelmed and could only agree. Marius left the office after that with a satisfied look.
I rubbed my head that was aching from the noise. Marius was in his 20s. How could he still behave so childishly? It was likely because he had been so well protected by his family.
However, what should I do tonight?
I ought to talk to Theo first.
Thinking of this, I dialed Theo's number. He had gone out with Keith today. He did not answer the call even after I had waited for a long time. Perhaps he was busy.
I typed out a text message, sent it to him, and then got back to work.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to get off work, but Theo had not replied to my text messages or calls. Marius had come to pick me up at this time. He had changed into a formal suit and looked to be in high spirits. "Let's go, Sis Wan."
"Ah, I..."
Nicky had just come out of the office and when she saw me and Marius. Her expression went blank. "Wanda, are you going out?"
"Yes, Sis Wan is going out with me," Marius responded for me even before I could.
"Come back early," she said with a smile as she looked at me.
I smiled awkwardly. "Alright, you should head back first." "Would you like the driver to pick you up at night?"
"Don't worry, I'll escort Sis Wan home." Marius patted his chest.
Nicky nodded. "Okay, I'll he going first."
After she left, I picked up my bag and looked at Marius. "Let's go."
He looked at me up and down, then shook his head. "You look too professional. I have to take you somewhere first."
"Where?"
