Chapter 872:
As Evita walked by, Tatiana subtly moved in to overhear the conversation, only to receive a stern look from the bodyguard.
Masking her disappointment with a smile, Tatiana glanced away and then walked off.
In the hospital room, Marcus asked Evita, “Did you save my life?”
Evita looked confused.
“Yes, I did. And you are?”
Marcus’s son watched Evita approvingly, noting her apparent simplicity and lack of pretense.
“Thank you for saving my dad. How can I repay you?”
“I didn’t help expecting something back.”
“It was just the right thing to do,” Evita responded with calm assurance.
Impressed, Marcus’s son leaned toward his father, whispering, “I’ve researched her a bit. She studied fashion design and has quite the knack, but fell on hard times and is now waiting tables. Dad, you’ve been searching for an apprentice, haven’t you?”
Marcus remained silent for a moment, internally torn.
He had envisioned great potential in her, but their actual meeting shifted his expectations.

“I’m Marcus Vaughn. You’ve done me a great favor, and I’m indebted to you. Please, let me know how I can repay you,” Marcus said.
Evita acted surprised briefly before answering, “I might need some time to consider that…”
Her hesitance showed a thoughtful recognition that Marcus, skilled in discerning sincerity, would not be easily deceived.
“Understood.”
Once Evita departed, Marcus’s son couldn’t hide his admiration.
“She’s truly remarkable, Dad!”
Marcus looked thoughtful.
“Dad, you seemed so driven to meet your rescuer, yet now you appear troubled,” his son said, confused.
“I just have an indescribable sensation. Let’s leave it at that. I need to rest,” Marcus concluded, visibly disinterested.
As Evita reached the ground floor after leaving the room, she was approached by someone.
As Tatiana made her approach, Evita’s expression tightened subtly.
“Do you need something from me?” Evita inquired, her tone detached.
