Chapter 1134

Everyone was in a funk, so the gathering broke up pretty fast.

Before Rosie could even say goodbye to Cornelia, Lucas whisked her away. Just before leaving, Hannah somehow managed to convince Steven to let her have a private chat with Cornelia

She grabbed Cornelia’s hand and asked, “Cornelia, did you have a fight with Marcus?”

Cornelia shook her head. “No.”

Hannah asked, “Then why do you look so upset? Is it because he went abroad without you?”

Comelia grumbled, “I feel like he’s hiding something from me. When I ask him, he doesn’t tell me. I called him, he said he was waiting for an important call and would call me back later. He didn’t even give me a chance to talk and just hung up.”

When the hell would he call her?

Cornelia glanced at her watch. It was almost nine in the evening. Once he was on that plane abroad, it would be even harder to reach him.

Hannah said, “So, you’re waiting for his call. Why do you have to wait for him to call? If you miss him, just call him.”

Cornelia thought for a moment and felt that Hannah made sense, “Okay, I’ll call him right now.”

Seeing how eager Cornelia was, Hannah couldn’t help but smile, Tll take off then. See ya.”

“Okay, bye” Cornelia didn’t see Hannah out. She quickly dialed Marcus‘ number.

However, the other end of the line responded with an automated message, “The subscriber you dialed is powered off. Please try again later.”

Did Marcus‘ flight already take off? What was his job abroad? Why did she, his assistant, know nothing about this trip?

After a thought, Cornelia dialed Ben’s number.

Ben answered quickly, “Cornelia, what’s up?”

Cornelia asked, “Did you know Marcus is going abroad?”

Ben replied, “Yeah, I’m packing my bags now. I’ll be heading out soon for a flight to Paris at one in the morning.”

Cornelia asked, “Is he going for work?”

Ben said, “Yeah, what else would it be? A vacation? You better start packing too, we should meet up at the airport.”

Cornelia said, “I’m not going to Paris with you guys.”

Ben asked, “Why not?”

Cornelia replied, “Because Marcus didn’t invite me.”

Ben explained. “The schedule is tight and tough, Marcus must be worried about you getting tired, so he didn’t ask you to tag along. Just rest at home and

wait for us to return.”

Cornelia said, “Have a safe trip! Come back soon after the job is done.”

“Alright. I still have to pack, so I’ll hang up now.” After hanging up, Ben let out a long sigh, “Lying isn’t easy! Especially to Cornelia! It’s a good thing she asked me over the phone, I would’ve been sweating bullets if she asked me in person.”
