Chapter 144
âMr. Rivera, President Hartley, you guys must have some important stuff to chat about, so we wonât bother youâ The thought of staying in the hot spring with Marcus made Cornelia uneasy, especially after seeing his naked body
The man was casually lying by the hot spring pool with his arms spread out, showing off his well toned and attractive muscles.
It looked like he was opening his arms to welcome his loved one
Cornelia accidentally caught a glimpse of his muscles, and they seemed to be etched in her mind, unforgettable.
She secretly admired him wondering how disciplined he must be to maintain such an impressive physique despite his busy work schedule.
âWe donât have anything important to discuss, Marcus said, lifting his head to look at Cornelia Seeing her shivering in a bathrobe, unwilling to get into the pool, he suddenly got angry. âYou guys, get in how
His voice was deep and authoritative, and Cornelia was startled. Her body moved faster than her brain, and she quickly took off her bathrobe and jumped into the hot spring, heading for the farthest corner from him.
The water in the hot spring pool was warm, instantly making her body feel cozy, but she couldnât feel happy about it:
She felt the hot spring water wasnt as fragrant as before, the snowy scenery not as beautiful, and her good mood was ruined in this moment.
It was difficult enough to find some free time to relax and hang out with friends, only to run into her boss, who invited her to bathe together. This was probably a feeling that all workers could relate to
Cornelia felt like she was working overtime in a different way.
Marcusâ¦
Zavier looked at Skyler Blue, honey, come hereâ
Normally, Skyler Blue would obediently walk over to him, but today she didnât feel like listening to him.
Skyler Blue got out of the pool and sat with Cornelia in the farthest corner from the two men, âCornelia, Iâm sorry! I didnât expect todayâs gathering to turn out like this?â
âItâs okay, itâs not your faultâ Cornelia had heard about Skyler Blueâs situation and saw the sadness in her eyes. She wanted to help her, âSkyler Blue, can I tell you a story?â
Skyler Blue nodded. âGo ahead.â
Corneha began. There was a girl who lost her mother when she was young, and later her father passed away too. Everyone said it was because of her that her parents died, and she believed it, thinking she was doomed. She felt that every day she lived was a waste of air. Until one day, her grandmother firmly told her it wasnât her fault and that she should live for herself, not caring about what others said and not carrying the burden of a responsibility that didnât belong to her.â
Live for oneself?
Skyler Blue silently repeated these simple words, which she craved the most.
These words were easy to say, but for her, they were hard to achieve.
She smiled, âCornelia, Iâm glad I met a friend like youâ
Cornelia. âMe too.â
The two of them whispered to each other, completely ignoring the two men nearby..
Marcus looked at Zavier discontentedly, 1 want to spend some time alone with my wife. Take your wife and leave firstâ
Zavier tutted, âMarcus, I donât expect you to act like Steven, but at least act like Lucas. You want to talk to your wife alone, and you need my help? Why donât you ask me to help you chase her directly?
Marcus, Tm giving you five secondsâ
