Mark was left speechless.
Once the pizza was ready, Zoey arranged it on a delicate plate and sprinkled a handful of fresh basil, believing that it would cater to the taste of young girls these days.
Mark took the plate and departed, suddenly realizing something and breaking into laughter.

Their relationship had yet to be revealed to the world. Mark intended for Cecilia to spend one more weekend at the Evans mansion and then accompany her back to Duefron.
As for the future, he planned to take it one step at a time.
Cecilia had been staying at the Evans mansion for a couple of days now. She desired to go out and buy gifts for Rena and Zoey. She had also heard about some famous cake shops in Czanch and wanted to try them.
Due to Mark’s special status, Cecilia could only go shopping with Peter as her companion, while Mark himself read documents in the car.
Unexpectedly, they bumped into an acquaintance on the street.
It was Jenna Vaughn.
Jenna was a colleague of Mark’s, holding a prestigious position; but she always knew he would soon outshine her and as a result, she valued their friendship greatly.
She recognized Mark’s car parked on the roadside, strolled over and tapped on the window.
Mark stepped out of the car gracefully.

As Mark was about to respond, his little girl hurried over with several shopping bags, her face flushed.
Jenna couldn’t help but steal a few more glances.
She thought the beautiful girl appeared to be around her son’s age, so she coughed and inquired, “Mark, this is…”
Not wanting his personal life to be exposed to colleagues, Mark merely smiled and said, “A junior from my family.”
Merely a junior…
Cecilia’s heart skipped a beat, and a sense of discomfort washed over her.
Couldn’t he introduce her as his girlfriend even within his territory?
