Marco opened the door and entered the meeting room. "Miss Torres, please come with me. I need to talk to you about the project."

As reluctant as Loraine was, she couldn't refuse him in front of the crowd. She stood up and followed him out.

They walked to a remote corner of the corridor and stopped.

"What's up?" Loraine crossed her arms impatiently, waiting for an explanation.

Marco was silent for a moment.

"Loraine, I didn't know Barr is Keely's cousin. I wouldn't have let him take part in this project if I'd known.

He's been dismissed from the engineering department. You can rest assured that he won't bother you anymore." Marco's demeanor was a little awkward. It was the first time he had tried explaining something to someone else.

Loraine remained unbothered.

"It's fine. As long as the problem is solved, you don't need to single me out to explain.

Marco found her indifference discouraging.

He wanted to say something more but, suddenly, his phone started ringing.

The caller ID said Keely.

Glancing down at his phone, Loraine smiled mockingly.

"It appears someone else needs you. I'll leave you alone."

Marco watched as Loraine turned around and walked away. He wanted to stop her, but he didn't dare. Instead, he stood where he was, depressed and annoyed. His displeasure increased with every ring of his phone.

Finally, Marco answered Keely's call.

"Marco!" At the connection of the call, Keely was overjoyed. "At last, you answered your phone."

Marco got straight to the point. "Why did your cousin embarrass Loraine while they were working together on the project? Does it have anything to do with you?" When Keely spoke, it was clear that she was flustered and distressed.

"Marco, I have no idea what you're talking about. I've been in hospital this whole time. I don't know what happened."

Marco wondered whether she was telling the truth.
