Chapter 136
Corneliaâs work phone is always on, and shell pick up right away whenever Marcus calls, tonight being no exception President Hartley, hello
She was always so polite and courteous with her first line when answering the phone, making it impossible for him to detect her mood from her tone. He coughed Twice, and immediately heard Corneliaâs worried voice, President Hartley do you have a cold?â
This was Assistant Cornelia caring for her boss Marcus, not Wife Cornelia caring for her husband Jeremy Marcus didnât really need this kind of care âItâs going to snow soon. Remember to close the windows âFinally, he said this line and hung up.
He took out his personal phone, and the three people in the group chat reminded him one by one, âMarc, say somethingâ
Marcus typed a few words, 7 want to walk the future path with her.â
Lucas replied. âYeah, a man should be good to his wifeâ
Steven, âLet me know if you need any helpâ
Zavier. âAfter the 3033 Tech Conference, Skyler Blue and I will treat you and your wife to dinner.â
Marcus, âOkayâ
For the next few days, Cornelia and the Hartley Group team were fully devoted to the tech conference, working from morning till night, even meal times were tight.
Not only did Cornelia have to focus on work, but she also had to keep an eye on Marcusâs health.
Thankfully, Marcus was very obedient. Whatever she said, he followed without causing her any trouble.
Four days later, the 3033 Tech Conference came to a successful end, and the New Yearâs Day holiday arrived.
Cornelia booked flights back to Riverton for the team that night so everyone could go home for the holidays. However, due to weather conditions, the flights were canceled, and everyone was stranded at Sunset Bay Resort.
Cornelia sat in the living room, holding her tablet, constantly checking the weather and flight information.
âCornelia, take a breakâ Ben handed Cornelia a bottle of water and sat down beside her, saying, âHonestly, I respect no one but you.â
âWhy me?â
âA few months ago, when you first started working with President Hartley, you adapted to his work intensity. Thatâs when I first admired you. This highâintensity conference, you make sure President Hartley eats on time, which makes me even more impressed. Iâve been with President Hartley for seven or eight years, I know he has a bad stomach, but I canât make him eat on time amidst his busy scheduleâ
Cornelia knew Marcusâs obedient was not because of her, âThe person you should admire is not me, but President Hartleyâs wifeâ
âBefore, President Hartley didnât let us mention his wife. Why did he suddenly let the PR department announce his marriage?â
âBecause President Hartley and his wife resolved their issues, and he loves his wife so much, of course, he should announce it. These days, when he didnât eat on time, I brought up his wife to talk to him, and he really was obedient
âSo President Hartleyâs wife has such an influence? Iâll learn from that next time!â
Cornelia was also very curious, âBen, do you know what she looks like?â
Tve never seen her, how would I know what she looks like?â
Cornelia was surprised, âYouâve been with President Hartley for so many years, and even you havenât seen his wife?â
âActually, you donât know, President Hartleyâs marriage is notâ¦. Halfway through, he realized he had said something he shouldnât have
He quickly changed the subject, âLetâs not discuss this anymore. With the snow so heavy now and unable to go outside, how should we spend our afternoon?â
