His expression turned resolute as if he was holding back anger. He glared at his younger brother, but Marco just shrugged without a care, "Don't be too angry, brother. I'm just asking."
Marcell looked away, and his chair turned the other way. He was looking at a view of a skyscraper and asked Marco, "Didn't you remember what I taught you when I was a kid?"
"I remember, brother. Aren't you the one who took me to watch dad fuck mom's sister while mom was busy dressing up her new jewelry in the next room? It was a real experience for me, especially since you showed it to me when I was a kid. It's only ten years old" Marco said.
He was too sick to call his mother's sister a 'aunt' sister****it didn't deserve that title.
"Indeed, I just want you to remember what our father said back then" Marcell said.
"Women like money. Just give them the money, and they'll shut up. It does not matter if you cheat them or hit them once or twice. Just fill them with money, and everything will be fine. "
"And it's working with mom, right?" Marco asked.
"Oh, and the other woman who made love to me."
"It worked for us, too. Do you think those women would have stayed with us if we weren't from Sebastian's family?" ask Marcell.
Marco wants to argue. She gained a lot of women just by using her charm and looks while studying in Europe. He never told anyone that he was from Sebastian's family.
In fact, he had other clans that he had adapted, even though he did not want to mention them.
Marco remained silent while listening to his elder brother.
"Women are just headaches, especially when they start asking for too much. You have to put them in place" Marcell said.
"Does that include brother-in-law?"
…Marcell was silent for a while and added, "If you find a woman like her, leave her. He's not worth your time. She'll be sweet and innocent, but she's just an ungrateful woman."
"Remember that, Marco. I've been living with her for eight years in a row, excluding the dating stage. I know him."
Marco smiled faintly. Of course, her older brother knew more about Catherine than she did. After all, they dated and married for twelve years combined.
"I'll remember, brother."
"Good, I just don't want you to have a bad influence" Marcell said.
"Enough talk about it. I'll find that woman****** and drag her back to where she belongs."
*****
Marco and Marcell discuss their new partnership. It went pretty well, especially as Marco looked submissive and tried to give Marcell an advantage over the contract.
Instead, Marcell thought Marco was reluctant because he was not used to being helped.
Despite all the shit that's happened in Marcell's life. He still wants Marco to return to the family because Marco is the only family he trusts in that pile of rotten waste.
Even so, to this day, she has no idea what caused Marco to suddenly leave after marrying Catherine.
But it's all over, so it doesn't matter.
"I'll tell my secretary to make a contract and tell you in a week. Don't worry, Marco," said Marcell.
"Ah, but.." Marco seemed reluctant. "I don't think I'll accept the contract, brother."
"Hm? Wh why? Is the part not enough for you?"
"Not at all! Quite the contrary! You gave me too much, brother! Basically you get a penny compared to my profit if we sign the contract!"
Marcell saw that Marco was even more depressed just on the grounds he was getting so few of these planned contracts. She creeps—even happy.
'My sister's still the same, huh? She's still cute and kind, despite being an adult, ' Marcell thought. She missed her younger brother so much, but since they were all grown up now, she could not hug her younger brother like before.
Sebastian's family is a big family full of snakes. You can't trust anyone there, not even your mother.
'Well, I don't care if I get a loss with this contract. It's just pocket money anyway. But if this will help his business, why not?'
"No need to worry about my profits. Call it probation, okay?" Marcell.
"If you do a good job, I'll involve both of our companies in a lot of bigger projects. May it stand side by side on equal footing in the future."
"Sister.." Marco felt emotional.
He nodded convincingly, "I will work hard. I'll make sure you see me as an adult. I'll make you proud, brother!"
"Haha! You've made me proud of all your achievements, Marco. But I want to see how much you've grown since you left the family ten years ago" Marcell said.
The brothers chatted for a while, mostly talking about their youth, but Marcell did not seem to want to talk about the woman who filled Marcell's youth aka Catherine Sebastian.
She seemed to keep avoiding the topic, and Marco did not want to force her brother because this was not the time yet.
"Okay, I'm leaving now, brother. It's already night."
"Why go? Let's go and have dinner, there's a nice restaurant nearby. You're a picky eater, aren't you?" Marcell.
"This restaurant is new, and I know the head chef. He is the top chef from Austria. It will suit your taste."
Marco politely declined, "I will eat in my apartment only. My food is waiting there."
"You eat at your apartment? Do you buy food to take home? Or did you hire a chef?"
"I have someone cooking for me, brother," Marco replied lightly.
"Oh? This must be your new woman" Marcell guessed, but Marco did not answer.
However, he had a mysterious smile. "I guess you're dating a top female chef now, huh? I still remember you being very picky when you eat. The whole kitchen will always be busy trying to meet your food preferences that change every day."
"Haha! I was a bad boy as a child," Marco laughed, and Marcell chuckled.
"All right, let's have family dinner later. I've always been curious about what you do in other countries. Mom always says that you're okay and there's nothing wrong, but it should be more reassuring when it comes straight from your mouth."
"Yes, brother, I'll tell you as soon as I have more free time" Marco said. He finally walked out of the CEO's office.
Marcell noticed Marco's back, and his smile disappeared as soon as his younger brother left.
"Not him, is he?" ask Marcell.
It's true Marco was a very picky person since he was a baby. Even at one time, he would starve himself rather than eat something he disliked. He also went on a rampage frequently, especially since he did not get the food he liked.
Since they were born with silver spoons, they did not have to worry about matter. So food was the only thing that kept Marco going berserk.
Until that woman—his wife, Catherine Sebastian comes into her life.
Marcell dated her in high school. Because of her value, she was able to enter a private High School despite coming from a low-income family.
He is very smart and academically smart. He also won several competitions at Junior High. That's why he could be in the same high school as Marcell.
As the story comes straight from the romance novel, Marcell is actually captivated by Catherine's brightness. She was bright like a star, smart, reasonable, and also beautiful. She was the perfect wife from the first time Marcell met her.
So she dated him after he approached her for a while.
When they were seventeen years old — second grade high school, Marcell brought Catherine to Sebastian's house to introduce her to his parents.
They were indifferent, as always, and Marcell expected that from his family.
But he did not expect Marco, his younger brother, to like Catherine. This usually mischievous boy was a jewel in Marcell's eyes. He actually likes his girlfriend.
