Chapter 2844 Sylvia, though not privy to the specifics of their situation, had a good idea about what had transpired. She knew Marcus all too well.
He was a man of wealth and pride, now deeply humiliated by almost being deceived and rejected by a young girl.
But it was clear he wasn't over Melissa.

Sylvia wore a gentle smile and patted Melissa's shoulder. “Look, Mr. Fowler and | are two different people. Hey, we haven't caught up in so long. Don't you have any stories for me? I've been driving all night and now | have to attend to Mr. Fowler during the day. Melissa, you seem to know this place well. Could you give me some advice?” Melissa found it hard to say no.
Talking wasn't her strong suit, especially with someone as experienced in the workplace as Sylvia.
Before she knew it, Sylvia had guided her towards the elevator.
They chatted and laughed on the way up. Sylvia, being a mother, could tell Melissa was struggling. To her, Melissa seemed naively adorable.
Sylvia thought that if only Melissa were a bit savvier, she could have a much better life, especially with someone like Marcus.
She then heaved a quiet sigh.
Soon, they were at the top floor. Melissa hesitated at the door, whispering to Sylvia, “The wonton soup is $12. With packaging and delivery, it's $15." Within seconds, Sylvia was already using her room key card.

He's sick, running a high fever. | touched his forehead. His body temp must be at least 39 degrees. The medical facilities here aren't great. What if the fever affects his brain?

“Just come in. He's asleep.” With Little choice, Melissa followed Sylvia inside. The suite was as opulent as she had imagined. But upon entering, she was greeted by the smell of cigarettes laced with a masculine scent.
It was unmistakably Marcus.
The familiar scent stirred something in Melissa, making her want to cry.
Melissa felt a wave of embarrassment. Sylvia handed her some change and said, “Don't you want to see Mr. Fowler? If I'm not mistaken, you have feelings for him too. Even if you don't, you're kind- hearted.
He's always shown kindness to you. I've never seen him care for any girl as much as he does for you.” Those words came from the bottom of her heart.
