Chapter 215

Mayra gritted her teeth. That man actually pushed me!

“Well, well, Stephanie Giovanni,” she sneered. “No wonder you’ve been so bold about breaking off your engagement with Chris. I guess you found someone else. Playing the heartbroken lover now?”

Although the man with Stephanie possessed an imposing presence, Mayra had never seen him in Long Harbor. He couldn't be anyone important. Besides, who would want someone like Stephanie? Mayra was certain Stephanie had settled for a low-tier guy.

Sebastian's eyes narrowed as Macro finally recognized Mayra. His expression soured. Only then did Mayra notice Macro. Her fiery attitude vanished, replaced by red-rimmed eyes. “Macro, where have you been?” she exclaimed. Stephanie blinked. Sebastian's face remained impassive. Both men turned to Macro at Mayra's voice.

Macro's expression darkened. “What’s going on?” he snapped.

Mayra pouted. “They’re bullying me.”

Stephanie rolled her eyes. No surprise, just like Olivia—always acting.

“You’re supposed to help me,” Mayra said, reaching for Macro’s hand. He deftly avoided her touch. He had no interest in getting involved.

Mayra's eyes narrowed. “You…”

Macro gave her a sharp look. “What’s your deal? I saw everything.”

The matchmaking service really didn't do him any favors. Was she a troublemaker? They don't even know each other well. What is she acting for? He hadn't been impressed by her from the start, especially after their near-altercation earlier. Seeing her almost start a fight with Stephanie only confirmed his initial impression.

Macro glanced at Stephanie, still in Sebastian’s arms. “You didn’t get hurt, did you?” Stephanie shook her head. “No.”

Sebastian’s eyes narrowed. “You should really get your eyes checked,” he added coldly, then turned and walked away with Stephanie.

Macro frowned at Sebastian's remark. Was he implying he hadn’t seen clearly? “Hey, I wasn’t the one picking…” he muttered. He was on a blind date. Who has perfect vision on a first meeting?

He hurried to catch up, but Mayra grabbed his arm. “Macro.”

He turned, his expression colder than during their coffee date. Mayra took a deep breath. “So, you and Stephanie?”

Macro raised an eyebrow. “What? Accusing her of seducing me and trying to ruin our relationship?”

Mayra froze.

Macro shook his head. “You women. Do you all have one-track minds?”

Mayra froze. Macro gave her a cold look. “That’s enough. Don’t contact me again.”

He left, leaving Mayra speechless. His parting words felt like a blow. Despite their first meeting, she’d liked Macro. He was attractive, successful, and, most importantly, the top cardiologist Olivia needed. She’d hoped to get close to him, to convince him to join Olivia’s treatment team. She'd been worried about Olivia, especially after the repeated specialist changes. Now, her chance with Macro seemed lost.

“Stephanie Giovanni!” she muttered angrily. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have lost my chance with Macro so soon.

Meanwhile, Macro caught up with them, but by the time he reached the hot spring, Sebastian and Stephanie were already soaking. As he approached, Sebastian’s cold voice cut through the air. “Don’t get in.”

Macro stopped. “What? Why not?” The shore was freezing. He just wanted to relax like everyone else.
