SWNOVELS Chapter 1501
Chapter 1501 Living with a Mask
Marcellus's face was cold all the way. He had seen a lot of people and things, so there was nothing that could easily tempt him.
Not to mention that Stacey was so weak that she couldn't even cause a ripple.
He turned around and sat on the sofa. His temples felt like a string, tense and painful, was pulling them.
Seeing this, Stacey wanted to follow him again, but Marcellus pointed to the spot and said, "You just stand there."
"Mr. Perkins?" Stacey could tell that he really didn't want her to get close to him, so she was a little confused.
He was the one who asked her to come, so why was she here now?
"What's your name?" When she was confused, the man suddenly spoke. He frowned as if he was recalling something.
Stacey quickly said, " Mr. Perkins, my name is Stacey. I work for JM Entertainment Company. We met once at a dinner party."
Fearing that Marcellus wouldn't be able to remember, he had an anxious expression on his face.
"You're with Mr. Hal, right?" Marcellus raised his brows.
"That's right."
"Did you see the news?" Marcellus's tone was very calm as if he was talking about someone else's business.
Didn't he do what he should do at night and discuss the news with her?
Stacey wanted to get close to him, but she didn't dare to. She could only stand a few steps away from him like a prisoner being interrogated. She answered honestly, "Yes, the boss also told me not to say anything more."
Marcellus smiled silently and said, "You and your boss are both very obedient."
There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, but unfortunately, Stacey was not smart enough to hear it. "You flatter us, Mr. Perkins. We are doing this for the sake of you and your company."
"Oh?" Marcellus let out a cold harrumph. "If that's the case, I have to thank you."
Only then did Stacey realize that she had said too much. She shook her head hurriedly and said, "I, I didn't mean that!"
"It doesn't matter." Marcellus interrupted her as if he had lost his patience. "No matter what you think, it doesn't matter to me."
Stacey didn't understand what he meant. She didn't know Marcellus, so she didn't dare to speculate.
The man said lightly, "I want you to cooperate with me on everything I want you to do. I won't mistreat you at work. On the contrary, if you go out and talk nonsense, the consequences. Do you understand?" Stacey couldn't help but shudder. "I understand..."
Although she didn't know what kind of person Marcellus was, she could tell from the reactions of the people around her and some rumors that he was definitely not easy to deal with. If she could get close to this man, she would be able to be happy for the rest of her life. Therefore, she didn't dare to offend him, no matter how bold she was.
"Don't worry, Mr. Perkins. I won't talk nonsense!" Thinking of this, Stacey quickly promised with an extremely humble posture. "As long as you give the order, I will do it well."
Looking at the extremely flattering face in front of him, Marcellus thought of the flattery at the banquet just now. Although he had always lived in such an environment, there were times when he was sincere. Now he had to be fully armed and live with a mask.
The man lowered his head and exhaled deeply. Without pausing for a moment, he turned around and left the room. Stacey stood behind her and watched her leave. In the end, she could only swallow the unwillingness in her heart. She kept comforting herself in her heart, "It's okay. Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
