Chapter 46 Breaking Your Boyfriend " Mr. Whitney , this is my family matter . Please , Mr. Whitney , step aside ! " Noel said with an unfriendly expression . " But , I'm not your family . " Marie stood behind Dennis and said lightly . Noel : " Marie … " " Noel , I'll still call you Noel , because we're not enemies yet . If you want to protect Carly , then don't provoke me . I don't need your kindness or your protection . Please stay away from me . " Marie spoke very calmly , just wanting to make things clear . Noel wanted to say something else , but Dennis , already impatient , pulled Marie away . Stepping out of the backyard , Dennis finally let go of her . Marie rubbed her wrist and asked , " How did you get here ? " " Let's have dinner together today , " Dennis said . " Didn't I say it would be in two days ? " Marie said , feeling helpless . " In a couple of days , I'll be heading back to New York , " Dennis said solemnly . Marie looked up , meeting those ink - black eyes , as still as obsidian , gazing at her like a whirlpool . Marie's heart suddenly trembled . For so many days , Dennis had always been in front of her , and she had forgotten that he was from New York and wouldn't always be in Las Vegas . " Oh … well … what would you like to eat ? My treat . " Marie smiled , pulling up the corners of her mouth . Dennis stared at her for a full minute without speaking . Marie felt uncomfortable under his gaze and was just about to turn her head away when Dennis raised his hand and gently pinched her chin . The man's voice , tinged with anger and a hint of caution , rang out above her head : " Who did this ? " The simple three words , spoken from his lips , suddenly imbued the cold , clear voice with a hint of warmth . Marie's nose tingled , and she raised her head with a smile , saying , " It's alright , I didn't suffer any loss . " " Where else are you hurt ? " Dennis asked . " Wait for me , I'll go change my clothes , and then we can go eat , " Marie said with a smile . Before Dennis could answer , Marie had already run back to her room . With a loud bang , she closed the door . Raising her hand to touch her face , she realized that tears Chapter 46 Breaking Your Boyfriend 28.18 % had unknowingly started to fall . Cat Bo She didn't know why , but the look on Dennis ' face and the tone of his voice as he cautiously asked her who had hit her made her feel wronged . Neither Rose nor Marie had ever shown her this kind of concern before , and it made her feel both uncomfortable and yet yearning for more . She was tangled up in her own sensitivity and emotions . She went to the bathroom to wash her face , tied her hair up in a bun , changed her clothes , and headed out . Cullen was waiting at the door as Marie and Dennis came out . Smiling , he greeted Marie , " Ms. Spence . " Marie also laughed , and Cullen opened the back door of the car , allowing the two of them to get in. Dennis asked , " Where should we eat ? " Marie thought for a moment , " Do you feel like eating Greek food ? " " Do you want to eat ? " Dennis asked . " Yeah , what's up ? " Marie said . " No way , " Dennis immediately objected . " Why ? " Marie asked . " Let's eat something light , " Dennis said . " Cullen , find a healthy deli for us . " Alright ! " Cullen immediately took out his phone to use the navigation , and then set off driving . " Dennis , I don't want deli cuisine ! " Marie rolled her eyes . " Take me out for a meal , and listen to what I have to say , " Dennis said . Marie was speechless . When they arrived at the restaurant , she had no choice but to follow Dennis inside . After sitting down , Dennis ordered some food . Apart from oatmeal , he chose light dishes . Marie , who had been craving for some meat and fish , clenched her teeth and asked , " Dennis , are you getting old ? " " What ? " Dennis glanced at her . " Only old people need to worry about their health ! " Marie was so annoyed that she wanted to smash the plate . " Oh . " Dennis didn't even lift his head and ordered another serving of finger food . The dishes were served , all of them light and delicate . Marie , on the verge of tears , swallowed her bland oatmeal with bananas and raisins , and asked , " When are you going back to New York ? " Chapter 46 Breaking Your Boyfriend 28.23 % Get Borus " In a couple of days , we'll leave , " said Dennis . " Are you in such a hurry ? " Marie asked . " This time , I came to celebrate Old Mr. Spence's birthday and to handle some branch office affairs . Once I'm done , I should leave , as there are many things to do in New York , " said Dennis . " So , will you come back to Las Vegas in the future ? " Marie asked , stirring her oatmeal in circles with a spoon . Dennis looked up and raised an eyebrow at her , " Do you want me to come ? " The man's eyes were pitch black , staring intently at her . Marie's heart skipped a beat , and she lowered her head , saying , " I can't make decisions about your matters . " " You can try to decide , " Dennis said . Marie looked up , not quite grasping the situation . She wondered , " How should I decide ? " What did Dennis mean by this ? Dennis looked at the girl's stunned little face , picked up a chopstick - full of vegetables and placed it on her plate , smiling , " Eat up . " Marie quietly lowered her head and ate her meal , still troubled by what Dennis had just said . Dennis's phone suddenly rang . He picked up a napkin and leisurely wiped his mouth before answering , " Go ahead . " " Handle it according to the contract breach regulations , and after calculating everything , send the details to Terry Group , " Dennis said . Over there , someone said something else , and a hint of impatience appeared on Dennis's face : " No need , you have full authority to handle everything after terminating the cooperation . If Terry Group calls , just tell them I'm not here . " Then he hung up the phone , and Marie raised her eyebrows , asking , " Having trouble working with Terry Group ? " " Yesterday , Terry Group leaked business information , allegedly breaching the contract , " Dennis said briefly . Marie felt a slight stir in her heart . Yesterday , after the banquet ended , Cullen had mentioned something to Dennis about what the media knew . Dennis had left in a hurry , and today , Terry Group was suspected of breaching a contract . In other words , Emory and Kate had succeeded in their plan . " Did you suffer a huge loss after the failed collaboration with Terry Group ? " Marie asked . " Care about me ? " Dennis raised an eyebrow . Chapter 46 Breaking Your Boyfriend 28.29 % Get Borus " No , just asking . " Marie rolled her eyes at him . " There have been some losses , but Terry Group isn't the only option . It's fine if we don't cooperate , " Dennis said . " That's good , " Marie muttered , looking down . " You seem to be quite concerned about the Terry Group ? " Dennis asked . No , not at all . Just asking casually , Marie immediately denied . So , that means you care about me , right ? After going in circles , the conversation returned to this topic . Marie kept her head down , focusing on her meal , and firmly refused to engage in conversation . Dennis chuckled softly and asked , " The university entrance exam is just a few months away . Have you decided on a major yet ? " " Do you think I can become an agent ? I want to start an entertainment company , " Marie finally looked up and spoke to him .. " Oh ? What made you think of doing this ? " Dennis asked . " I enjoy working behind the scenes , " Marie laughed . " Sure , which company would you like to intern at ? " Dennis asked . " Can I go to any of them ? " Marie laughed . " Sure , " Dennis said . " Then I'd like to go to KBK , " Marie said . " Olive Spence's entertainment company ? Aren't you afraid she'll give you a hard time ? " Dennis asked . " Would the sisters of the Spence family really leave me alone if I don't go to KBK ? " Marie retorted . " Once you get into Yale University , I'll let you join KBK , " said Dennis . Marie knows about Yale University , one of the top five higher education institutions in the country . " Why does it have to be Yale University ? " Marie asked . " Yale University has a high overall rating , so you'll have more options . Agents don't have high educational requirements , and since you enjoy working behind the scenes , you could try studying screenwriting . In the future , it would also be great to work as a director , " Dennis suggested . Marie listened quietly , not saying a word . There were still many things she only half - understood . Chapter 46 Breaking Your Boyfriend 28.35 % Get Bonus The original Marie , whose body she now inhabited , had done quite a bit of research , but she herself was just a newcomer to all of this . " What's the matter ? Don't you want to go to New York ? " Dennis asked . " No , Grandpa said that the Luo family will eventually expand to New York , so we'll have to go there sooner or later , " Marie said . " After you finish your university entrance exam , you can come to New York for an internship . I'll arrange for you to join KBK , " Dennis said . " KBK isn't your company , are you sure I can go in ? " Marie hesitated a bit . " Don't believe me ? " Dennis raised an eyebrow . " No , it's just that I'm used to believing in myself , " Marie said with a smile . Dennis reached out and gently tousled her bangs , sa .. " Let's eat . " After much difficulty , Marie finally finished the bowl of oatmeal , letting out a sigh . This meal was just too bland for her taste . " Do you want to go back ? " Dennis asked her . " Take me to the kickboxing gym , I have training today , " Marie said . Dennis raised an eyebrow , wondering if Marie had really learned these skills in a combat class . Marie went to pay the bill , and the two of them left the restaurant . Dennis fetched the car and opened the passenger door for Marie . Marie sat down , fastened her seatbelt , and asked , " Where's Cullen ? " " Back at the company , " Dennis said . Marie chuckled , " Cullen really works hard , being both a driver and an assistant . Luckily , he's a strong man ; I doubt a woman could handle it all . " " I don't hire female assistants , " Dennis said . " Dennis , if you keep acting so aloof , you'll end up all alone , " Marie teased him . " Don't worry , it'll happen , " Dennis glanced at her . Marie's gaze made him blush , so he turned to look out the window . Dennis parked the car in the kickboxing gym's parking spot and got out . " Are you going in too ? " Marie asked . " Boring , let's take a look . " Dennis followed Marie as they entered the venue . Chapter 46 Breaking Your Boyfriend 28.40 % Get Borus Upon seeing Marle , Levi smiled and said , " You haven't been here for a few days , I thought you had given up on practicing ! " " How could this be ? Mr. Martin , please wait a moment while I change my clothes . " Marie headed . towards the changing room . Dennis finds a spot to sit down and asks , " Does she come here to train often ? " Levi loved to chat , and he was talking to Dennis : " No , I've only practiced once . I'm just a sparring partner , and that little girl is quite fierce when she fights . " As they were talking , Marie came out wearing her workout clothes . Her hair , which was previously in a bun , was now in a high ponytail . She wore a black sports bra , revealing her well - defined abs , and black leggings that hugged her slender legs . In an instant , the girl transformed from a delicate look to a sporty one . Entering the sports field , Levi asked , " Same old rules ? " " Alright , the usual way , " Marie said . Levi immediately attacked , but Marie dodged to the side , threw a punch , swiftly moved , and kicked her leg in one fluid motion . Her attack was as smooth as flowing water , not at all like someone who had only trained once . Dennis's curiosity surfaced once again , who exactly is this girl ? After playing for 20 minutes , both of them were drenched in sweat . During the break , Marie , panting heavily , sat inside the court , not caring about the sweat dripping from her forehead , and gulped down water . Dennis said , " Your punch is too slow , and your kick lacks power . ' Marie laughed , " Can you do it ? " Dennis raises an eyebrow : " Want to give it a try ? " " Let's give it a try ! " Marie stood up and stretched her muscles . Dennis leisurely walked into the venue , rolling up the sleeves of his shirt to reveal his well - defined forearms . He smiled at Marie and said , " Let's get started . " Marie threw a quick punch , but no matter how fast she struck , Dennis easily dodged it , as if he was always just a bit faster than her . Marie panted heavily , but she couldn't manage to touch the hem of his clothes , which left her extremely frustrated . Chapter 46 Breaking Your Boyfriend 28.46 % Get Bonus She swiftly struck at Dennis's face , but he dodged to the side , grabbing her wrist with his left hand . Marie twisted her body and raised her right arm , attempting to elbow Dennis in the chest , but he caught her once again . With her hands locked , Marie instinctively relied on Dennis's strength to turn over . She kicked out with both legs , but Dennis swiftly moved to the side , trapping Marie securely in his embrace . Marie's hands were tied behind her back , pressed against Dennis . The man leaned in closer , his slightly panting voice ringing in her ear , " Was that move just now also taught by Mr. Martin ? " Marie was taken aback , realizing she had been too absorbed in her actions . She had been relying on instinct , and that last kick she delivered could have easily broken someone's ribs if it had landed solidly on a person . Marie turned her head to avoid the man's warm breath and said , " No , I taught myself . " Dennis didn't ask any further questions , and he loosened his grip . Marie , now free , turned around to face Dennis , looking into his eyes . For some reason , even though Dennis didn't ask anything , Marie felt that he was getting close to the truth . The man's perceptive gaze left her feeling uneasy . Had he conducted an investigation ? What had he discovered ? All the assassins in the Rodger Group are unidentified ghosts , and only within the Rodger Group do their profiles exist . So , no matter how Dennis tries to investigate , he shouldn't be able to find any information about Rose . She shouldn't worry about this . Levi hurried over , flustered , and said , " Hey girl , you can't hit like that . What if you break your boyfriend ? " Who said Dennis is Marie's boyfriend ? Marie : " Mr. Min he isn't … " Dennis : " Mr. Martin is right , we can't fight like this . " " It's not nothing , I can tell your boyfriend is skilled , and those two weren't just playing around . Got it ? " Levi said . Marie felt helpless , but she could only nod and say , " I'll remember . " Dennis seemed to be in a good mood and said , " I think we've practiced enough . Let's go . " Marie nodded , went to the changing room to grab her clothes , greeted Levi , and then left . Chapter 46 Breaking Your Boyfriend 28.52 % Get Borus Sitting in Dennis's car , Marie's stomach suddenly let out an embarrassing growl . Marie felt mortified - how embarrassing ! Dennis laughed , " Hungry ? " " Um … I had oatmeal for lunch … I'm still hungry … " Marie said , lowering her head , her face blushing all the way to her ears . " What would you like to eat? " Dennis asked . " I want to go home and have dinner with Grandpa . Yesterday was my first day moving in , and I haven't had a meal with him yet , " Marie said . " Alright , I'll take you back , " Dennis said . " Dennis , how are you so skilled ? " Marie asked curiously . She thought that only the original Rose could barely compete with Dennis , but Rose had been trained in the school of hard knocks for over a decade , while Dennis had not . " I've practiced . " Dennis's answer was simple , as if he didn't really want to discuss it . Marie tactfully refrained from asking further questions . As the car rounded the bend , Dennis pulled over and said , " Cullen mentioned that the muffins at the corner shop are really delicious . Do you want to grab some to fill our stomachs ? " Marie nodded and got out of the car . There were a few people waiting in line at the entrance of the shop . When it was Marie's turn , she said , " Boss , I'd like a muffin , please . " The boss packed a box for her and said , " dollars and 50 cents . " Marie patted her pocket and realized , shoot , she left her wallet at the kickboxing gym . Dennis took out his wallet , handed the shopkeeper 5 dollars , and took the muffin . " Let's go , " he said . Back in the car , Dennis handed her the muffin and said , " You owe me more and more now . " Upon hearing this , Marie suddenly remembered the matter of the evening gown and asked , " Was it you who had the gown delivered ? "
