Chapter 34
âUm, thanks!â Cornelia quickly gave the man her work number âIf you have any problems while visiting the scenic area, just let me know.â
The man asked, âCan I contact you outside of work?â
Im already marriedâ Cornelia said with a smile, then turned and walked towards Marcus.
The manâs gaze followed Cornelia. When he saw Marcus, his expression instantly became indifferent
Before he thought he was pretty good looking and had the courage to hit on her. But when he saw her husband, he immediately understood why the girl was not interested in him. With such a handsome husband at home, who would care about ordinary people outside?
Adjacent to Marcus, a cluster of Bombshell travelers cat. Several of them contemplated requesting his contact information but lacked the courage to do so.
Someone took out their phone to secretly take a picture of him. Marcus glanced over, and his cold eyes almost scared the sneaky photographer into dropping their phone
Cornelia sat down next to Marcus and started talking about work. President Hartley, I just learned about some problems in the scenic area. Some restaurants are charging unreasonable fees, which could seriously affect our reputation. I left the contact number of that tourist, so if he encounters similar problems later, he can directly report it to me.â
Marcus,â
So thatâs why she exchanged contact numbers with that stranger.
She really wouldnât betray her husband.
Marcus said. âBen is already working on it.â
He already knew? Cornelia thought she was the first to find out
Feeling awkward, she scratched her head. Marcus didnât speak either, and the two of them sat facing each other in silence.
About ten minutes later, the food arrived. Cornelia took out her phone and snapped a picture, then sent it to their group chat. âHaha, I finally got some BBQâ
Zack swiftly responded with a voice message. âWhereâs the enjoyment in dining alone? Return, and letâs have a meal together.â
Cornelia also replied with a voice message, âEating alone is boring, but when I come back, youâre treating me!!
Zack suddenly became sentimental, âYouâve been away for a month, and I miss you.â
Cornelia answered, âI miss you too.â
She chatted with Zack over voice messages while eating, completely ignoring Marcus.
Cornelia couldnât handle the spiciness after eating a grilled chicken wing, and wanted to ask the boss for a can of cola. When she looked up, she saw that Marcusâs face didnât look too good. âPresident Hartley, do you want to eat too?â
Marcus gave her a cold glance, then got up and left.
Cornelia couldnât comprehend the sudden outburst of anger from him. However, with his departure, she found herself relishing the meal even more, merrily devouring both her portion and
his
After finishing her meal and paying the bill, Cornelia happily walked back and saw Marcus smoking by the roadside
She went up to him and asked, âPresident Hartley, why havent you left yet?â
Marcus replied. âYouâre not my wife. Whether I leave or not, what does it have to do with you?â
Cornelia,â
She was just showing a little concern, did he need to be so rude?
If she had known it would be like this, she should have pretended not to see him and quietly left
