Marcus arrived at a coffee shop nearby, where Betty told him to meet, and immediately spotted Betty sitting at a table, surrounded by files, She appeared so engrossed in her work that she didn’t even notice him approaching.
Marcus smiled and pulled out a chair. “What’s up, workaholic p>
Betty raised her head, and her face brightened when she saw him.
“Well…” She studied him for a moment. “I’m starting to think you might have quit. You rarely come to work nowadays. What’s wrong p>
If only she knew that Marcus owned the company.
Marcus smiled. “I’ve been handling some personal assignments. They’re things I have to take care of myself, so I’ve been pretty busy p>
“Oh.” Betty nodded before pushing some files toward him. “Actually, I need your help with these. There are some sections only you know how to fill out properly. I just need you to complete them for me p>
Marcus nodded. “All right. Let me see p>
He picked up the files and began filling them out while Betty continued reviewing her documents.
A few minutes later, her phone rang.
She glanced at the screen and answered the call. “Hello p>
Her eyes widened almost immediately.
“What! You’re at the airport? You told me you were coming next week p>
She listened for a moment, her expression growing increasingly frustrated.
“Are you crazy? I’m at work right now! I’ll send you the address p>
Another pause followed.
“No, I can’t leave. I have something to submit p>
She listened again, but before she could say anything else, the call disconnected,
“Hello? Hello p>
Betty stared at her phone in disbelief before lowering it onto the table.
Marcus had just finished filling out the files when he looked up at her.
“What’s wrong p>
Betty sighed. “It’s my brother. Kylan p>
Marcus frowned slightly. “You have a brother p>
“Yes, Kylan. He’s been studying in California on a scholarship, and he just arrived back in the country. The problem is that he didn’t tell me he was coming today. We agreed that he would arrive next week, but now he’s calling to tell me he’s already at the airport p>
She glanced at the files on the table and sighed again.

“I still have to submit these documents, and I haven’t even finished reviewing everything. It’s going to take me hours. I honestly don’t know what to do p>
Marcus looked at her for a moment before speaking.
“I’ll go and pick him up p>
Betty immediately shook her head. “No, Marcus. I don’t want to stress you. You’ve already helped me with these files p>
“It’s fine. I’m not doing anything important right now, so I can go p>
“But p>
“Don’t worry about it, Betty p>
She hesitated before reaching for her handbag. “At least let me pay for the taxi that will take you there p>
Marcus shook his head. “There’s no need. I’ll handle it p>
Betty looked at him gratefully. “Thank you, Marcus. I really appreciate this p>
He smiled, stood up, “You’re welcome p>
After thanking her once more, Marcus left the coffee shop and headed toward the airport to pick up Kylan.
Kylan stood outside the airport terminal with his suitcase beside him, wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses, a designer-looking jacket, ripped jeans, and expensive-looking sneakers. A silver chain hung around his neck, while his hair was carefully styled. Actaully, he looked more like a wannabe Celebrity.
He checked his phone for the fifth time and frowned when he saw no new messages from his sister.
“What the hell is wrong with this woman?” he muttered.
He adjusted his sunglasses and lifted his chin proudly as people walked past him. Surely, someone would recognize him. After all, he had appeared in one of the most popular television series in the country.
Just then, a young woman walked past him while checking her phone.
Kylan immediately stepped into her path.
“Excuse me! Wait a minute. Do you know me?
The woman stopped and looked at him.
Kylan grinned, spreading his arms as though he were standing on a red carpet. “It’s me! The famous actor from PineCity. I was in that series p>
The woman stared at him blankly.
He adjusted his jacket. “Come on, seriously? You don’t recognize me? I was literally the friend of a friend of the male lead. I appeared ten times in the show! Ten times! You should know me p>
The woman’s expression changed to one of disgust.
“Are you serious right now?” she asked.
Kylan nodded enthusiastically. “Of course p>

“The series has five seasons, and you appeared only ten times?” She scoffed. “And you’re calling yourself actor? Please, get out of my face. If I were you, I would rather be working as a delivery man p>
With that, she walked away.
Kylan stood frozen, his mouth slightly open.
He scratched his head before slowly nodding. “Well, that’s true. But ten appearances are still ten appearances p>
He quickly looked around to see whether anyone else had heard the conversation, then picked up his suitcase and returned to his original position.
Just then, the sound of an engine caught his attention.
A red Ferrari pulled up directly in front of him.
Kylan’s eyes widened behind his sunglasses. He immediately abandoned his suitcase and jogged closer to get a better look at the car.
“Mmm! Whoa! Who the heck owns this?” he exclaimed, staring at the vehicle with admiration. “Look at this beauty! The design, the wheels, the paintwork! My goodness p>
He walked around the front of the car, shaking his head in disbelief. “How I wish I had one of these. Imagine pulling up to a movie premiere in this thing. Everyone would be taking pictures of me…. I could work for a hundred years and still never own this car in my lifetime p>
Just then, the driver’s door opened.
A man stepped out, dressed elegantly, and began walking toward him.
Kylan turned around and nearly jumped out of his skin when he realized the man was approaching him.
The man stopped in front of him, examining his face before speaking.
“Kylan p>
Kylan blinked.
“Betty’s brother p>
It was Marcus. Betty had already sent him pictures of Kylan, allowing him to recognize the young man immediately.
However, Kylan stared at Marcus in confusion, looking him up and down.
“Who are you?” he asked. “You know me p>
Marcus smiled slightly. “Your sister asked me to pick you up p>
Kylan’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Wow! What the heck p>
