Chapter 296
Marcus hung up the phone and told Cornelia, âI didnât really have anything else to do today just wanted to check out the ad exhibitionâ
Comelia responded, âGotchaâ
Last night at the auction, Marcus noticed Comeliaâs interest in some artwork. He figured she might enjoy an art shows so he asked her to arrange a visit. But she didnât seem too excited about it, which confused Marcus He asked her, âDonât you like art exhibitions
Comelia replied. âDoes it really matter if I do?â She found Marcus question edd. She was his assistant, her job was to accompany him, whether she liked it or not made no difference
Marcus was left speechless
A bit bummed out by Corneliaâs response, Marcus pulled out his phone to call Steven, Im heading to FIG clubs now bring the Puff family, father and son, to meet me thereâ
Steven agreed, âSure thingâ He sighed. âOnly you could get away with talking to me like thatâ
Marcus didnât react and timply hung up
He had barely arrived at the exhibition when he decided to leave Cornelia asked him, âPresident Hartley, arenât you going to check out the exhibition?â
âWhatâs the point if youâre not into it?â Marcus was about to say, but then changed his mind. âI just donât feel like it anymoreâ
With that Cornelia followed Marcus to the FIG club
On the drive over. Marcus asked Cornelia another odd question, âWhat do you think of Niman?
Cornelia didnât understand why he asked this. She thought for a moment before answering. âHeâs a famous artist young and handsome. Lots of girls probably go crazy for him?
Just a while ago she and Briana were joking about him being old he had just turned 28 and Nimon was already over 30. But apparently Nimon was still young and handsome
Did she have some kind of bias because he wasnt her type?
Marcus asked. âIs he your type?â
Cornelia replied, Tm already mamedâ.
Marcus started to get impatient. He said, âSo if you werenât married, youâd like him? Cornelia, emotional cheating is still cheating if youâre married, you should be faithful to your marriageâ
Comelia was getting a headache from all this. She only made a polite comment about someone and suddenly it was emotional cheating? She said, âPresident Hartley, I donât have feelings for him. The only man i like is my husband Jeremyâ
It was all Jeremyâs fault. He left her in Marcusâs care and now Marcus was like a spy Jeremy had planted by her side, meddling in everything. He even cared about what type of man she liked.
No wonder Marcus was acting more and more weird lately. She couldnât figure out what was going on in his mind and it was increasingly difficult to deal with him if he kept this up, he would turn her hair grey with
Marcus fell a bit relieved by her response, but he couldnât resist getting a jab in at Nimon, âI still think heâs not good looking, doesnât match our peopleâs aesthetic standardsâ
Comelia replied. âYouâre probably rightâ
Marcus asked. âYou donât seem to agree with me?â
