Chapter 162
Marcus asked, âIs there anything you need help with?
Cornelia replied. Thanks for your concern, President Hartley, but itâs just some personal stuffâ
The conversation between the two ended with this answer. Just then, the chef brought in breakfast
Marcus sat down first, and Corneha took a seat across from him.
The breakfast is very rich Marcus had specifically asked the chef to prepare it for her, but Cornelia didnât touch it, âNot to your liking?â
âI had a late dinner last night, and Iâm not very hungry now My appetite isnât great. I just want some porridge âCornelia scooped herself a bowl, and it tasted even better than she had imagined
Both dishes were from the same recipe, so Cornelia wondered how the chefâs version could be so delicious.
Cornelia asked, President Hartley, could I learn how to make this from your chef?â
Marcus replied. âIf you want to eat it, let her cook it for you. If you want to learn, let her teach you.â Finally, there was something that suited her taste, and Marcus abandoned the idea of changing chefs
Cornelia said, âThank you, President Hartley!â
Hearing her cheerful tone, Marcus smiled and said nothing more.
The two ate quietly until Corneliaâs personal phone rang, breaking the silence
Cornelia thought it was Zack and Abigail coming to pick her up so she happily took out her phone. But when she saw the caller ID as âMr. Colwell,â her expression changed instantly. âMr Colwell, whatâs up?â
Ryan said, âMs Stewart, your husband has picked out a house to give you Today, Iâll accompany you to transfer the ownership.â
1 can buy my own house. Who cares about his gift, let him give it to someone else.â She had already refused very directly last time, couldnât these people understand human language?
Ryan said, âDo you have a problem with your brain? Your husband wants to give you a house, not someone else. What reason do you have to refuse such a good thing?â
Cornelia replied. âThe one with the problem is Jeremy, isnât it?â
Ryan agreed with this point of view, 1 also think he has a problemâ
âThen you should persuade him to seek treatment, instead of always trying to give me a house. I donât care for it.â After speaking, Cornelia hung up the phone directly.
Marcus thought to himself, all he wanted to do was give her a house, why was that considered a problem?
Anyway, Marcus knew about her and her husbandâs situation, and Cornelia didnât feel embarrassed after he heard it, âPresident Hartley, Iâm done eating I take my leave first
Marcus asked, âWhere are you going?â Fearing that she would dismiss him with the word âpersonal again, Marcus added, âI happen to be going out too, I can give you a rideâ
âNo need to trouble yourself, President Hartley, my friends are coming to pick me up. Cornelia said and prepared to leave.
Marcus said, âTonight, Iâm taking my wife to dinner. Please book a restaurant according to your preference.â
Cornelia agreed, âOkayâ Since Marcus had mentioned that his wife was also from Rosenberg, she didnât give it much more thought.
After getting into Zackâs car, Cornelia thought for a moment. There were many restaurant options in Riverton, but the top two were Pinnacle Palate and Culinary Crest. Both had very high prices, perfect for wealthy people like Marcus.
Cornelia had never been to either of these restaurants, so she didnât know which one had better food. So she asked, Zack, Abby, Pinnacle Palate or Culinary Crest, which one do you think is better?â
Abigail replied, âRich lady, did your boss give you another bonus? Are you treating us to such an expensive place?â
Cornelia rolled her eyes and said, âA meal there costs tens of thousands. Iâm not an idiot. I donât have that much money to throw around anyway, so why would I go to such a place? Iâm just helping my boss and his wife book a restaurant.â
