Bab 142: Try to escape

Marcus opted to go home earlier than the rest of them after his encounter with Jacky. He believed that it would not be wise to see more of Jacky under their circumstances.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay until tomorrow?" Alex asked when Marcus called him. They were bound to fly home the next day, so he wondered what the rush was. 

"I'm sure," Marcus answered over the line. He was still contemplating if he should tell his friend the reason why he had to leave. For now, he only wanted to be alone.

"Is something wrong with the business?" He did not receive any calls that there was a problem that he had to handle personally back home, so he was still figuring out why his decision.

"No. It had nothing to do with work." Marcus knew that once he said that, Alex would figure out what he could not say.

"Is this about Jacky?" He could only assume that it had everything to do with Dani's friend.
