Chapter 805: Chapter 805 Mysteriously Familiar (1)

Marcus Parker walked up to Jordy Wade, keeping the distance of one person between them.

Jordy Wade knew someone had approached, but he didn’t initiate a conversation. Marcus Parker turned his head to look at him and said, "Young man, this old man is craving a smoke. May I borrow a cigarette from you?"

Jordy Wade handed over both the cigarette packet and lighter. Marcus Parker took a cigarette out, lit it with the lighter, and then they stood side by side, puffing away.

Marcus Parker hadn’t smoked in a long while and, after a couple of puffs, began to cough.

Ever since he had promised Ellie Wilton to quit smoking, he hadn’t touched a cigarette for many years. Asking Jordy Wade for a cigarette was really masochistic, yet this method was the easiest for men to accept.

In fact, he knew Jordy Wade and was aware of his capabilities in the business world. When this young man was making waves in the business community, he had thought about getting to know him, but it seemed he missed every opportunity.

Naturally, Marcus Parker was unaware that Jordy Wade, who had not yet lost his memory at that time, looked down on both him and the woman Ellie Wilton.

A few years ago, Marcus Parker had a project and wanted to collaborate with Jordy Wade. The project was actually very promising, but simply because Marcus Parker was involved, Jordy Wade didn’t even consider it and flatly refused.

Hearing Marcus Parker coughing right beside him, Jordy Wade didn’t speak, just pursed his lips and gave a cold smile.

"Heh, getting older messes with your memory. I’ve already quit smoking, but seeing you smoke just now triggered my craving, making you witness this embarrassing scene," Marcus Parker chuckled and stubbed out the cigarette in his hand.

He was very courteous in front of Jordy Wade.

He didn’t know why, but ever since he met Jordy Wade, he felt an odd sense of familiarity with the young man.

His butler had once questioned him about it, and at the time, he had said he didn’t know why but felt inexplicably familiar with the young man, like he resembled his younger self, full of dreams, determination, and boldness.

"..." Jordy Wade blinked but remained silent, indifferent and aloof.

Indeed, he didn’t want to talk. He had come here intending to spend some time alone. The hotel he was staying at was quite close, besides, he wanted to adjust his emotions after seeing Anna Turner.

"I know you, Jordy Wade." Seeing that Jordy Wade still showed no interest in engaging with him, Marcus Parker simply addressed him by name. "My name is Marcus Parker. A few years ago, I wanted to partner with you but got rejected. I’ve always been curious, why did you reject me?"

There were countless people who wanted to partner with Marcus Parker, yet Jordy Wade, whom he had set his sights on, showed no interest at all. Back then, though Jordy Wade was outstanding, the Wade Family compared to his Parker Group was just a small company.

Still, Jordy Wade managed to reject partnership with him—without a second thought. Marcus Parker was indeed impressed by the young man’s audacity, and despite his numerous attempts to reach out for a chat afterward, he never found the right opportunity.

"No reason, just because you are Marcus Parker." Jordy Wade finally turned to face him. At the same time, he saw Anna Turner not far behind them. He plainly stated this in front of the two of them.

"It’s getting late, I’ll be leaving now." Both of their expressions turned somewhat peculiar, but Jordy Wade ignored them both, spoke his piece, and left.

This time, he truly left without any further delay.

Anna Turner watched him go, waiting until Jordy Wade’s figure disappeared into the crowd before walking over to Marcus Parker. "What’s wrong, Marcus? Do you know him?"
