Chapter 363
Dr. Dawson, I need to keep working, could you slap some ointment on my nose?â Cornelia reckoned that showing up to clients with ointment on her nose was a better look than turning up with a swollen schnor
Bam
Marcus slammed the file he was holding onto the desk âGoing to work with a wound, do you think the Hartley Group canât function without you? Or do you want people to think Marcus, ama hard ass boss?â
Cornelia,â
What was up with him? Was he in a bad mood? Or maybe he was all worked up for some reason and couldnât vent if that was the case, he should go home and chill out with his wife, and not take it out on the innocent folks
Dr. Dawson explained. Putting ointment on will slow down the recovery, but the quickest way to recover is to go home and rest.â
Cornelia didnât take her injury too seriously, she chuckled, âItâs okay if the recovery is slow, as long as it doesnât affect my image too much and doesnât give the Hartley Group a bad rep Dr. Dawson glanced at Marcus âAhem, Cornelia, donât take this lightly just because itâs a minor injury. Even small wounds can get infected. We should take this seriously
Cornelia looked a bit helpless, âDr Dawson
âGo home and rest Now Marcus stared at Cornelia, unblinking,
Even Skyler herself wasnât as anxious as Cornelia right now Her nose was swollen, but she was so nonchalant about it, and still thinking about going to work. He really didnât know whether to praise her or scold her
Cornelia sniffled, âPlease let me keep working. If I go home with nothing to do, Iâll just keep thinking about my nose and it might hurt even moreâ
She sounded nasal when she spoke, as if she was about to cry Marcus felt his heart soften and unconsciously lowered his voice, 1 have Briana go home with youâ
Cornelia really didnât understand why Marcus was being so stubborn. As an employee, she was determined to work, and as a bass he should be delighted, 1 really can keep workingâ Marcus couldnt understand why Cornelia was so stubborn, âCornelia, have I been so nice to you that you have forgotten who the boss is?â
Cornelia responded, âPresident Hartley, you misunderstand. Iâve always known my place.â
Marcus. Then be a good girl and go homeâ
Before she could even start work for the day, Cornelia was forced to head home. Before she left, she plucked up the courage to ask Marcus, âDoes this injury count as workârelated?â
Marcus, âYes.â
Cornelia observed Marcus face and further asked. âPresident Hartley, if itâs workârelated, does that mean I still get paid? And what if I stay for work? Would it be triple pay?â
So she wanted to stay and work for the triple pay, all she could think about at this time was money. Marcus was so mad he ignored her, but he still arranged for Ayden and Dr. Dawson to take Cornelia home
Thinking about the triple pay that was about to slip through her fingers, Cornelia was very upset. On the way home, she mentally chewed Marcus cut for a while.
Zack and Abigail were right, Marcus was a devious guy. He forced her to go home because he didnât want to pay her the triple wages.
Sitting in the back seat of the car with Cornelia, Dr Dawson noticed her constant sighing and finally couldnât contain his curiosity, âCornelia, why do you keep sighing?â
