Chapter 360
Comelia understood her grandmaâs feelings, but she didnât want the mood to get too heavy âGran I still want to chat with Granny Luisa for a bitâ
Granny Luisa, who was next to Granny Rebecca, came into frame as soon as she heard Cornelia call her name. She purposely put on a stern face. âNelly, so you finally remembered met
Cornelia responded sweetly, Gran, Ive always had you in my mind, I didnt just remember youâ
Granny Luisa replied. Tm just pulling your leg But seriously, both you and your sibling couldnât spend Christmas with us because of work this year Next year, you guys better be hereâ
Cornelia nodded earnestly. Yep, I make sure of it next yearâ
Alter some more chitchat with both grandmas, she ended the video call.
She still had to deal with some work stuff with Marcus today If things went smoothly, their work could be complete by the afternoon, and they could knock off early
After packing her stuff and grabbing her laptop bag, Cornelia headed downstairs. She was already up pretty early, but Marcus was up earlier. He was already in the living room, checking
out the dayâs news
It wasnât just today that Marcus was up earlier than her. Every single day, Marcus got up earlier. The only time she was up earlier than him was the day after he hurt his hand. That day, he gave her a sour face all day long
Cornelia walked up to him, âGood morning. President Hartley!â
Marcus nodded a bit, which was his way of responding
These days, if it wasnât about work, he wouldnât say a word to her. She couldnât blame him. After all, he was her boss
Marcus didnât pay her any mind and walked towards the dining room
Cornelia quickly followed him
Breakfast was a feast. There were sandwiches, milk, and more. Cornelia was spoilt for choice and she always had a hearty breakfast
These days, Briana was always out early and back late. Cornelia hadnât seen her, so it was just Marcus and her for breakfast. At the table, they both just focused on eating, without acknowledging each other
After breakfast they headed to the company
As Marcusâs assistant, having an international driving license was a basic requirement, so Cornelia was the one driving lately.
On the way, Marcus took a couple of phone calls and then buried his head in some documents. Cornelia glanced at Marcus in the rearâview mirror and thought, mistakenly, that he was looking at her. When she looked up at him, he had already looked away
Marcus being colder towards Cornelia actually made her work easier. She didnât have to worry about his excessive concern, which could be quite bothersome
After about half an hour drive, they reached the company
Cornelia parked the car and quickly got out She ran to the back seat on the right and opened the door for Marcus
He stepped out, not even sparing her a glance.
Ben was already at the companyâs entrance waiting. As soon as he saw Marcus, he walked up and started reporting on their work situation. Cornelia followed behind Marcus, taking
meticulous notes
Her noteâtaking and shorthand skills were phenomenal. If not, she wouldnât have been able to handle such highâintensity work.
