Chapter 1535 - Chapter 1535 381 From a Pauper to the Head of the Bai Family

Chapter 1535: 381: From a Pauper to the Head of the Bai Family? Almost Fainted!_2 Chapter 1535: 381: From a Pauper to the Head of the Bai Family? Almost Fainted!_2 Marcus White remained expressionless, “People always change.”

Liam Webster nodded, “That’s true. But you’ve changed a lot Marcus!”

In the past, Marcus White was frugal, but he never pretended to be more than he was.

But now?

He not only boasts, but also claims to be a billionaire.

Marcus White remained silent.

A moment later, Liam continued, “What about desserts? Don’t you want to add any?”

“No.”

Liam closed the menu, “Alright, that’ll do.”

Soon after, the brewed coffee was served.

Liam poured a cup of tea for Marcus.

Marcus picked up the cup and took a sip.

“Marcus, I must say, the way you drink tea really does make you look like a rich guy.”

Marcus glanced back slightly, “Remove the word ‘look’.”

Because he was indeed wealthy.

Liam laughed, “Stop exaggerating!”

Marcus White just smiled without speaking.

Liam continued, “Anyway, I wanted to tell you something.”

“Uh huh.”

Liam pondered his choice of words, then began, “You know the other day I mentioned setting you up with my sister, well I spoke to her last night, she said…”

Hesitating over how to break the news without hurting Marcus’s feelings, Marcus took over, “It’s fine, can’t force it if the timing isn’t right.”

When Marcus casually agreed to add Eva Webster on WhatsApp, he just wanted to distract himself.

His heart couldn’t always dwell on the unreachable.

But then, he gave it more thought; he shouldn’t insist on something if the timing wasn’t right. Maybe someone else could replace her in his life one day.

It was clear.

Eva Webster wasn’t that person.

Liam glanced at Marcus, feeling slightly guilty, then added, “Don’t worry Marcus, if there are any good matches, I’ll let you know first.”

Marcus smiled faintly, “You should take care of your own problems before worrying about me.”

At this moment, something occurred to Liam, he looked at Marcus, “Didn’t you mention you have several beautiful nieces who are single?”

“They are not suited for you,” Marcus replied.

“Why?” Liam asked with narrowed eyes, “Look down on me?”

Marcus continued, “Among my nieces, five are married, two are underage, and one is a sophomore in college and already has a love interest.”

Liam’s situation isn’t so bad.

He graduated from Project 985, works in a biotech company, and came to Capital City this time to buy a house during his annual leave.

Unfortunately, Flora Tiarks is a troublemaker. At Liam’s age, he would be looking for a girlfriend with marriage in mind. Marcus wouldn’t want to ensnare his old friend.

Hearing this, Liam sighed, “I’m so unlucky!”

“Don’t rush,” Marcus said slowly, “Your destined person just hasn’t appeared yet.”

Liam shrugged and smiled, “I can only console myself that way now.”

Marcus White put down his milk tea, then asked, “Aren’t there any single women of the right age at your company?”

Liam teased, “None. Even a female mosquito wouldn’t be able to escape from our office, let alone single women!”

Marcus White: “…”

After finishing their tea, Marcus White had some work to deal with at the office and suggested leaving.

Liam stood up with him, “I also have something to do this afternoon.”

“You’re also leaving?” asked Marcus.

Liam nodded.

Marcus’s gaze fell on the unfinished desserts on the table, “Won’t all this go to waste?”

Before Liam could react, Marcus called the waiter over and said, “Pack these, please.”

Liam laughed, “Marcus, didn’t you claim you were a billionaire?”

“Being a billionaire, so what?”

Liam continued, “Does a billionaire also pack leftover desserts?”

It somewhat tarnished the image.

Forget about takeaways; a billionaire probably wouldn’t even step into this kind of shop.

“It’s everyone’s duty to save food. Do you know how many areas in Africa are still starving?” Marcus White retorted.

Liam laughed even louder.

To him, Marcus was just making excuses for his frugality.

“I can’t argue with you.”

Even though he was being teased, Marcus White still didn’t think he was embarrassing himself by asking for a takeaway.

Everyone should have their own ideals and persist with them, not easily influenced by the outside world.

After they left the coffee shop, Marcus dropped Liam off.

Before he got out of the car, Marcus asked, “How’s the house hunting going?”

Liam responded,”I’m still looking.”
