Marilyn shook her head slightly." You can't force someone when it comes to the relationship, Joliet. And I already have a boyfriend. Just leave us alone." " How can you talk to me like that?" Joliet was furious." Well, let me ask you this, Marilyn. Everyone joked at that time that you and Jackson were couples. Why didn't you deny it? Was it because of the research project he had? Now since you' ve finished the research and returned home, you turned your back on him. You made me sick!" " That's enough, Joliet!" Jackson strode over with shouting and pulled Joliet away. " Can't you stop messing with Marilyn, Joliet? I have already made it clear thatI came to Yrinas for work and it had nothing to do with Marilyn. You used to be classmates. Do you have to make things worse?" " Classmates?" Joliet glanced at Marilyn sarcastically."I'm not good enough to have such an excellent classmate. I'm leaving. Enjoy your meal, guys!" After finishing her words, Joliet left.

" Joliet!" Yolanda shouted and followed her quickly.

Jackson smiled apologetically at the people in the private room and said, " Marilyn, Mr. Zabinski, I'm sorry for what happened. Your meal is on me. I' ll leave you alone." After Jackson finished, he closed the door gently.

The pleasant atmosphere in the private room was gone.

On the table, the candlelight was still burning.

Neither Robert nor Marilyn spoke. The delicious food on the table suddenly became dull.

Marilyn looked apologetic.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door again. After three knocks, it was pushed open. Brandon stood outside the private room and said, "I heard that Joliet got drunk and offended you just now. Can I come in, Marilyn, Mr. Zabinski?" Obviously, Brandon knew a lot about Robert.

It was inappropriate to refuse a polite person, so Marilyn nodded. After Brandon entered the room and sat down, he poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip directly, and said, "I'm sorry, Marilyn. What Joliet did just now was too much, and I apologize to you as her senior. Don't take it seriously. She has drunk a lot and is a bit emotional." Marilyn waved her hand." It's okay, Brandon. We understand." " Thank you." Brandon nodded and suddenly changed his attitude. " But it's not all Joliet's fault, Marilyn. You know that she has been having a crush on Jackson who only cares about you. Nothing would have happened if you refused him. But you and Jackson were so close to each other at college and everyone said that you werea couple. However, you didn't deny it, and that gave Jackson hope. After you left, he cried in his beer every day. Many excellent girls showed affection to him, but his answer was clear. He just wanted to finish his study and returned to you. Now it's been two years. We occasionally chatted about attending your wedding, but it turned out that you suddenly had a boyfriend. It was indeed a little unacceptable." After finishing his words, Brandon glanced at Robert and said with a faint smile, " Please forgive me, Mr. Zabinski. I'm a straightforward person who always speaks what's on my mind.

You won't mind me talking about the past with Marilyn, will you?"
