He was fuming in anger as he entered his best friend's clinic.
Marcus drove his Bugatti Veyron Mansory Vivere to Doctor Spencer's office that afternoon. As usual, the staffs were gawking at his luxurious car once again. Of course, his great physique was the center of the commotion.
"The last time you came you drove your $8 million dollars Mercedez Benz. Now you came with your $3.5 million luxury ride car. Were you planning to showcase all your car collections? You might consider giving me your Lamborghini Venemo as a donation."
"Fudge! What's wrong with her? I really don't understand her at all!" The man yelped as soon as he entered his office and fell on the couch.
"The Lamborghini Venemo? Well, if you don't understand her at all then you can just give her to me." Doctor Spencer smirked playfully.
"I don't think I did something to harm her though."
"I can check it for you. Just let me drive her once and I'll tell you what's wrong with her."
"Doesn't she like the idea of working with me?"
"Well, your rudeness and aggravation must have gotten her. Why don't you just let her go? I'll take good care of her for you." Still, Spencer's thought was on his friend's Lamborghini.
"Should I really let her go? But I got used to her already."
"Well, you should let her go. Life sometimes required us to let go of things we don't use any longer." Spencer nonchalantly replied. "I'm sure if you let her go, a better replacement will come soon after. Besides, nothing is permanently, right?"
"I don't know. I think she's the best among them all."
"You might be wrong too. Thoughts can be deceiving."
"Well, it's not just a thought. I believe she was the best. No, I don't think I will let her go." He made his resolve.
"Dang it! Just let her go. I'm sure I can take good care of your Lamborghini… much better than you do." Spencer hissed.
Marcus immediately glared at the man who was seemingly playing on his computer once again.
"Dammit Spencer! Have you been talking about the car all along?"
"Why? Aren't you pertaining to it?"
"No! Hell no!"
"Then you better leave my office now."
"Do you want to lose your work, Doctor Spencer?" He threatened the man who just met his eyes.
"Do you want to lose your only best friend, Marky?"
They were both engaged in an eye-glaring battle.
"I told you not to call me that." Marcus gritted his teeth.
"Marky?" The man grinned playfully. "Hmmm… What do you think will happen if the press learnt about your nickname? I bet the nation will go crazy calling you that. Haha! That's kinda cute if I come to think about it… Marky…" He chuckled.
"Shall I call Andrea and tell her about your Lucy?" Marcus raised his brow impishly.
"I concede!" Spencer instantly stopped talking while Marcus chuckled teasingly.
"Spencer, you may know all my secrets but you should know you possessed the darkest secrets among the two of us." He smirked.
"Fine." He rolled his eyes. "So why are you here again?" Now he focused his attention to his best friend.
Marcus heaved a heavy sigh when he remembered his conversation with Jade a while ago.
"Wait, that kind of face. Let me guess. Jade?"
Marcus sighed once again.
"I knew it. So tell me, what did she do to cause your irritation again, huh?" He questioned before his phone buzzed. He then picked up his phone and checked on the message he received. However, he was rendered speechless upon seeing the photo sent to him. Whoa! Impossible! He widened his eyes in disbelief.
"How will you feel if your secretary wanted to resigned immediately? Tsk! She dared to say she doesn't want to be my secretary any longer! As if I wanted her in the first place!" He snorted and made an annoying face. "I should fire her, right?"
"Fire her? Because of what?"
"Because I can!" He yelped. "Do I need to have a reason to exercise my authority?"
"I don't think that firing her was a good idea."
"You mean you want me to keep her?" Marcus' face lit up.
"Yeees…?" Spencer answered. "She's not just your secretary but your wife too. It would be rude for you to fire her I believe."
"Just because she was my wife that I can't fire her? Was that your only basis of telling me that?"
"No."
"Then what?"
The man grinned maliciously and Marcus must admit he dislike his current facial look.
"Because she was the only one who has the courage to splash water on your face!" Then the man broke in laughter. "This is so funny!" He kept laughing while looking on the photo on his phone.
"Spencer!"
He gave a mocking laugh for a few more minutes before he got serious. Seeing the man's sour face, he knew he's near to losing his patience now.
"Sorry about that." He coughed and caressed his chest for a second and face the man after. Still, he was obviously trying to keep his laugh at bay. "So tell me, what happened?"
"And you're expecting me to tell you the story? Tsk! In your dreams!" He glared at him.
"Fine. If you don't want to tell me then I won't force you. How about telling me the reason why you're sulking right now? Aside from the fact that I reminded you of the bottled water." He grinned teasingly.
The man rolled his eyes but he doesn't have a choice but to tell him. He was his only friend who has the patience to listen to his narcissistic stories.
"She said she doesn't want to be my secretary any longer."
"Did you ask why?"
"Yes."
"What did she say?"
"Nothing. She left the office after being silent for a few minutes."
"Just that?"
"Yeah. If I know why then do you think I would come here?"
Spencer chuckled mockingly. "Did you say you don't like her? Then why don't you take this opportunity to get rid of her?"
Marcus heaved a heavy sigh. "But I can't. She's everything I need for a secretary!"
"You sure? Just a secretary?" Spencer's smile was hinting something. "Aren't you falling in love with her?"
"Falling in love, my ass! That will never happen. We already agreed to draw a line we should not cross. We decided to be friends."
"Oh!" The man gave a knowing face. "Friends huh? Interesting." He muttered while his eyes studied the man sitting seriously on the couch. He looked troubled like a teenager who saw his crush with someone else.
He smirked within him.
He was slowly falling in love without even realizing it!
"Then why don't you just talk to her nicely and asked her reasons? I'm sure she'll be honest with you."
"You think so?" He glanced hopefully at his best friend.
"Hundred percent." He smiled.
"By the way, how are things with you and Rachelle? I haven't heard you talk about her yet."
Rachelle? He raised his brow but when he remembered a particular event, he widened his eyes in guilt. Oh no, Rachelle! He totally forgot about her!
