Chapter 751
Andrew packed up and drove to Rhodes Corporation. Right at the entrance, he ran into Marcus, who had just stepped out of his car.
The moment Marcus saw Andrew, he gave him a once-over, grinning from ear to ear. He chirped, "Mr. Lloyd, youโre looking great โ full of energy and in high spirits!"
Andrew raised a brow in surprise. "Mr. Chapman, how exactly can you tell Iโm feeling good?"
Marcus smirked knowingly. "Mr. Lloyd, letโs not play dumb. Weโre both men. That kind of glow? Itโs obvious you had a veryโฆ satisfying night."
Andrew was even more surprised. Could Marcus really tell something like that just by looking at him?
Then, it clicked. This department head at Rhodes Corporation might appear serious on the surface, but he was a regular at certain high-end clubs. That explained a lot.
Lowering his voice, Marcus chuckled. "Every time I spend the night at a club, I see plenty of like-minded gentlemen walking out in the morning with the exact same look as you.
"Itโs the kind of vigor a man has after a good workout โ strength unleashed, energy restored! And itโs no different with women โ theyโll have a certain type of allure after!"
Andrew cleared his throat and laughed. "Didnโt expect you to be such an expert in this field, Mr. Chapman."
Marcus glanced around to make sure no one else was listening before chuckling. "Mr. Lloyd, thereโs nothing to be shy about. Weโre men โ itโs natural to enjoy the company of beautiful women.
"Take me, for example. I love spending nights at clubs, but that doesnโt mean I neglect my work. It doesnโt mean I fail to be a good father to my sweet daughter. On the contrary, a competent man balances everything flawlessly!"
Andrew frowned slightly. "How do you manage your time, then? If youโre at the club, what about Lucy? How do you take care of her?"
Marcus patted Andrewโs shoulder, giving him a look of seasoned wisdom. "Mr. Lloyd, youโve got a long way to go in this department. Donโt you know? Every successful man is a master of time management!"
With that, he walked into the building ahead of Andrew, looking every bit like a seasoned pro, while Andrew stood there, watching him leave, utterly speechless. He could not help but think Marcus really knew how to brag.

Chapter 751
"Dr. Lloyd, good morning!"
Lauren arrived just then, her heels clicking confidently against the pavement.
Andrew smiled. "Morning! I brought you breakfast. Letโs eat together."
Lauren raised a brow. "Didnโt you already eat? Why do you want to have breakfast again?"
Andrew kept a straight face. "I didnโt eat. I got this just for you, so we could eat together."
Lauren gave him a knowing smile and took slow steps toward him. Her long legs, wrapped in sheer black stockings, moved with effortless grace as her heels tapped out a hypnotic rhythm.
Then, leaning in slightly, she smirked. "Liar. I was on the phone with Fran this morning. She told me you made her breakfast, didnโt you?"
Andrew froze, feeling a sudden headache coming on. "Uhโฆ did I? I donโt really remember."
Lauren let out a soft hum, laughing playfully. "Not only do I know you already had breakfast, but I also know you wore poor Fran out last night. This morning, the first thing she did was complain about how you nearly broke her."
Even with Andrewโs thick skin, he could not help feeling a little embarrassed. Raising his hands in surrender, he sighed. "Alright, fine. I did eat. But as for nearly breaking Francesca, I think thatโs an exaggeration!"
