Chapter 25 - Chapter 25

  Signing his name in the autograph book,Marcus stood up straight,saw the man smiling,and walked towards him not far away.

  "Welcome Marcus to our company's anniversary celebration,"Ethan said the most formulaic and polite words and extended his hand towards Marcus.

  Marcus's hand on it felt that he secretly aggravated the strength.Looking at their eyes also brought up a few points similar to the ambiguous color of flirting.Marcus's mouth corner also hangs a gentle smile,and he does not resist meeting his eyes.In the end,or Ethan first,there is no meaning to let go of him.

  He welcomed Marcus into the venue,and when the two of them passed by,Ethan reminded him in a low voice:"After the end of the meeting,go to the upstairs lounge and wait for me for a while,and we'll go back together."

  Marcus smiled without commenting and took a big step inside.

  The15th-anniversary celebration of Lysol's mainland branch was held in a very grand manner.In addition to the invited partners,dozens of news media attended.Although many people were already at the venue,the organizers had prepared and arranged it adequately.The atmosphere was vivacious but also mixed and uncluttered.

  Marcus and a few known business partners were greeted.According to his habits of finding a corner and low-key mix-through,Marcus still did not like this kind of social gathering place,but on the contrary,some people took the initiative to find one.

  Liam,dressed like a man,by the side of the beautiful and enchanting woman's hooked arm,smiled and came forward,rushed to Marcus,and stretched out the hand pinch of the highball glass:"Marcus,please face it."

  Marcus raised his glass and gently touched it.The wine was brought to his mouth,and he only took a sip,counting it as meaning.

  "Is Marcus here alone?Why no company?"Liam asked with a smile.

  Marcus glanced at his side,posture ambiguous,sticking to him a look at the relationship.It is not simple,and the heart is very disdainful.He heard Ethan mention that Liam is married,and his wife and daughter are in the United States.The side of this,what is the identity of the self-evident,so not far away from Ethan's back nudged his mouth:"My companion in the busy to greet guests,you do not know?"

  Liam also glanced in Ethan's direction,pulled the corner of his mouth meaninglessly,raised his glass at him again,and finally stopped harassing him,taking his female companion to go elsewhere.

  Marcus barely drank most of the glass of wine.His eyes turned,and he saw the entrance to the venue again.Someone entered,or Ethan personally led Qin Sitong and William.

  Qin Sitong held one side of William's arm with both hands,tilted her head,and smiled as she talked to Ethan,while William,on the other side,was a little distracted.Marcus didn't walk over;he just stood in place and watched,knowing that the relationship between Ethan and his cousin,Qin Sitong,was perfect and that they were very cordial.Still,William seemed to be a redundant person beside them,seemingly very uncomfortable.William seems awkward,looking left and right in Teyeell's eyes to a particular place,and there is a very obvious flash of panic.

  Ethan and Qin Sitong did not notice the change in his demeanor,but the cold-eyed Marcus saw very clearly,along with his line of sight to look over.Marcus was slightly surprised and slightly narrowed his eyes,so the reason for William's change was...Liam?

  Although surprised,Marcus did not explore his interest in indifferent people's things further.He has a little desire to know what they are not,so he thought.He realized that now,his heart could not flood a ripple to William.He has been unknowingly classified as indifferent to the ranks of the people.

  The corner of Marcus's mouth hooked up a smile of relief,tilted his head back,and sent the rest of the wine in the cup into his mouth.

  When he saw this scene,Ethan subconsciously looked at Marcus and was stunned.Marcus should have seen William's right,only that he would smile.

  When Marcus finished the last drop of wine in his glass and put it down,Ethan appeared before him.Surprised,Marcus asked,"You don't need to greet the guests?"

  "It's a little while before we leave the venue,and the guests are almost here;let Liam entertain out of the limelight and accompany me up to the lounge to change."

  Marcus nodded,and they left the venue together,one after the other,and went upstairs to the lounge.

  As soon as the door closed,Ethan removed the decent smile he had worn outside to fool people and replaced it with another cynical look.He hooked Marcus's waist and pressed the person against the wall.He went up to kiss his lips,which had been moisturized by alcohol for a long time,and asked him,"What were you laughing at just now?"

  "What were you lau"hin"at?"

  "Did you just see William?...You smiled?"

  "Aren't you contradicting yourself by always worrying that I still think about him and mentioning him in front of me every time?"Marcus reached up and patted his face in amusement,"And if I remember correctly,you were also...interested in him before."

  "That was before,"Ethan interrupted through gritted teeth,"Count me blind."

  Marcus laughed lowly,"Blind?Will you be hugging someone else later and saying count yourself blind to have married me too?"

  "He's no good;you're not like him.Don't be so presumptuous,"Ethan said as his lips moved to Marcus's face,and he kissed him hard several times.I should have seen what was best earlier."

  Marcus reached over and pushed his shoulder,"Don't be such a meathead;hurry up and get changed."

  Ethan laughed,let go of him,changed into a white suit again,and seemed in a good mood.Marcus walked up and took the initiative to help him tie.The two were extremely close.Marcus slightly lowered a pair of eyes almost in front of his eyes,looking at him,focusing on his hands to give himself a tie action.Ethan'Ethan'sinvoluntarily rose.He was used very much.

  After tying his tie and running his hand over his broad shoulders,Marcus raised his eyes to meet Ethan'Ethan'sng eyes and said,"You d"look good in this white suit."

  "charm now?"

  It smiled and winked,sticking up and wanting to kiss him again.Marcus avoided it sideways."Stop,"t,let's let's.You're an organizer.You can't have so many guests hanging out to dry and keep hiding here."

  It backed away with some regret and took his cell phone out,signaling him to wait."I'll call first."

  Once connected to the head of the counting up,Ethan plans to call Lucas and ask him how the matter has not yet come to run and where to go.The other side coyly responded and hesitantly said,"Broth,""I bring a friend to go together,ah."

  "Being"a friend on,bring a friend,did not say do not let you get,you hurry to me to roll over!"

  After the words were said and hung up directly,Marcus frowned and asked,"He said,"Do you want to bring a friend?"

  "Who knows?"I guess he's girlfriend and brought a female companion."

  I allowed Ethan to go downstairs.Marcus had a heart but some doubt and uncertainty.Think of the scene seen yesterday.Lucas brought someone.Really,will it be a female companion?

  The two of them reappeared at the venue,one after the other.Lucas also happened to arrive.The person who followed him came out from behind him,didn't eat Marcus,but extended his hand towards Ethan:"Manager Ethan,nice to meet you."

  It"was Angus.

  Ethan'Ethan'sdarkened instantly,and he snapped a glare at Lucas.The other man didn't look him squarely in the eye and carefully explained,"Angus"he's the end of mine."

  In"a low voice,Marcus bumped Ethan and reminded him,"It's time for the show to start.Don't Don't here;let them in first."

  Kn"wing that Angus has bad intentions and has now hitched his brother,Ethan can not be on the spot to attack.He holds back the impatience to reach out,lightly patting his hand even if he says hello.He turns his head and glares fiercely at Lucas,who is very weak.He turns around and enters the venue to go inside.

  Angus shrugged at Lucas,turned his head,glanced meaningfully at Marcus,and followed him in.

  Marcus didn't ask,even if he was impatient with his psychopathic cousin;it wasn't business now that he was pestering himself and hitched a ride with Ethan'Ethan'ser,even if it was clear that his intentions weren'weren't

  After the banquet opened,Ethan,on behalf of the company,was on stage to give a welcome speech,face again replaced with the right kind of formulaic smile;Marcus stood in the back of the crowd,watching him in a piece of media flashing lights in a He was calm,confident and proud as he introduced the company's history and plans.For the first time,he felt a similar emotion to the man,a weird pride,and smiled again.He sipped his wine,deliberately hiding the excitement in his heart.

  The anniversary party went well;the guests and the media were very generous.Ethan,after Liam,also went on stage to make a short speech;Marcus was not interested in listening to it,and after that,most of the time,the eyes along in the crowd to cope with Ethan to and fro;such behavior seems to be even his own did not notice.

  By the time everything was over,it was almost eleven o'clock evening;after arranging all the follow-up work,Ethan and Marcus,who had been waiting for him in the lounge,walked out of the hotel;both of them had drunk a lot of wine,and specially called the driver who drove for Ethan'Ethan'sma to come to pick him up,because of the traffic jam the car hadn't,so the two of them stood by the side of the road and waited for it.

  Marcus saw Ethan keep calling Lucas,who had run away early in the morning,but the other party turned off his cell phone and helplessly reminded him,"Your"rother is at least an adult;he should have a sense of propriety."

  It"immediately deflated.I want to say something else.Suddenly,he ran over four or five little girls across the street.Holding a newspaper,he rushed to the two people in front of the angry and questioned Marcus:"What is the relationship between you and Ji Ran?"

  Marcus consciously stepped back as the girls talked and gesticulated with their hands and feet in an agitated manner.Ethan frowned and stretched his hand to block away the people about to pounce on him,and he asked them coldly,"Who are you?What does his relationship with Ji Ran have to do with you?"

  Some people screamed at the top of their lungs,cursing and slamming into him.Ethan didn't want them at once,and Marcus,who hadn't seen these little girls to be so powerful,was knocked back two steps.Right behind him was a two-tiered step,and he was caught off guard and fell,his whole body in such a mess that he almost planted himself on the ground.

  "Marcus"

  Ethan let out a scream and quickly went up to try and help him up.Marcus screamed in the air as he was thrown backward by his movements and said with difficulty,"Don't hurt yourself;it looks like I've got a bone in my foot.

  And the overly emotional culprits had run out of sight by now.  Signing his name in the autograph book,Marcus stood up straight,saw the man smiling,and walked towards him not far away.

  "Welcome Marcus to our company's anniversary celebration,"Ethan said the most formulaic and polite words and extended his hand towards Marcus.
