Chapter 106
But Marcus didnât care at all. It was like a competition with Zack. The two prepared dishes for Cornelia. The dishes on Corneliaâs plate piled up quickly, and che couldnât eat them at all
Cornelia thought the two of them were strange, but she couldnât pinpoint why
It wasnât until Zack proudly said, Tve been taking care of Nelly for over 20 years. Our relationship runs deep. Itâs not something you can compare with just a couple of pinces of meat *
Cornelia almost choked on that sentence.
Zack and Abigail were her childhood playmates, and Marcus was her boss. Of course, the three of them had a closer relationship, but she still shouldnât say that in front of Marcus
Cornelia secretly nudged Zack, who realized that he had gone too far. He immediately started preparing food for Abigailâs plate, Abby, eat more, make sure youâre full
Abigail who had been ignored for a long time, pouted, âYou finally remembered me?â
The meal was consumed in a tense atmosphere.
After dinner, Cornelia asked Zack to take Abigail for a drive, while she walked Marcus to the roadside, âPresident Hartley, if my friends offended you tonight, please donât hold it against themâ
Marcus looked at her, âAnswer my question seriously, and I wonât hold it against themâ
Cornelia was confused, âWhat question?â
Marcus didnât mind asking again. If you were my wife, would you forgive me?â
Cornelia had already forgotten about the matter, and didnât expect him to ask again. She thought for a moment, âIf it were me, I might not forgive you, I guess. But it depends on the specific reasonâ
She said it would depend on the specific reason, and Marcus knew it was a tactful answer
He asked in a different way, âToday I heard you guys talking about your husband. He doesnât seem to treat you well. Now he doesnât agree to divorce you, so what are your plans for the future?â
Cornelia realy didnât want to discuss her personal life with him, âPresident Hartley, can I not answer questions that are unrelated to work?â
Marcus smiled helplessly. âDo I scare you that much?â
Cornelia shook her head, âItâs not that Iâm afraid, I just think itâs better to distinguish between public and private.â
What a clear distinction between public and private, it seemed that it is not easy for him to enter her private life.
âNelly, letâs go.â Zack had already driven out and honked the horn to hurry her.
âPresident Hartley, see you tomorrow!â Cornelia got into the car, and after closing the door, she punched Zack and Abigail, âWhat were you guys doing today? Especially you, Zack, do you want me to lose my job?â
Zack muttered. âI donât know why, but I just feel like he has ulterior motives towards you, like he wants to snatch you away from us.â
âZack, thatâs why youâre out of shape.â Abigail, a typical person who values appearance, judges people solely by their looks, âheâs Marcus, at the helm of the Hartley Group. Heâs not only ric but also has an amazing figure and face. Do you know how many women canât even imagine him having any intentions towards them? if he has any intentions, that means Nelly is really outstanding.
âNelly, do you know how aesthetically pleasing the picture of you and President Hartley is?â Abigail became more excited as she spoke, âTonight, Iâve imagined countless scenes of you tw together.â
âDonât talk nonsenselâ Corneliaâs face turned red, âMarcus is a great boss, a true gentleman. Heâs never had any behavior that goes beyond a boss towards a subordinate
âIf only he wasnât married.â Abigail sighed, âOtherwise, with your looks, I could imagine a restricted novel.â
âPlease stop talking.â Cornelia didnât want to deal with her, so she looked out the car window. But her mind began to think of some scenes with Marcus and his wife.
Marcus had a good figure. Last time she stayed at his house, she saw him without clothes. His eightâpack abs were so beautiful that people wanted to touch them. His wife must be very happy
