Chapter 379
Cornelia thought she was seeing things, rubbing her eyes Marcus, what did you pret say?â
Marcus said in a deep voice, You made a dish for everyone according to them tastes Why not for me?
His voice was still so deep and magnetic and very nice to listen to, but Cornelia could hear a hint of grievance in this nice voice.
âThe dishes that no one ordered are all yours Cornelia knew that Marcus was picky about food and hard to please, so the specially made several dishes for him
But in Marcus ears, this meant that what other people didnât want to eat was his
âDo I only get to eat what others dont want? She could be king to everyone, she could care about Jeremy, why couldnât she be a bit nicer to Marcus?.
Where was he Marcus, worse than Ben?
Afraid that he would feel aggrieved again, Cornelia quickly explained. âMarcus, I know you are picky, usually preferring lighter tastes, so this salad, this cornbread, and this seafood platter are all specially prepared for you Also, thereâs this porcini mushroom soup. To take care of you, I simmered this soup for several hoursâ
She was careful to take care of him afraid that if she did something wrong, he would be unhappy He wasnât angry, but he did feel a bit slighted
Underneath his silver spectacles Marcusâs eyes it up. These were all specially prepared for me?â
might be to others, but I certainly wouldnât dare be to youâ Cornelia pushed the plate with the cornbread towards him, âMarcus, although this is the first time Iâve made cornbread, I think it tastes pretty good Would you like to try some?â
Marcus immediately took a piece of cornbread and put it in his mouth Honestly, it tasted worse than any cornbread he had ever had before, mainly because the bread was too hard. But because it was made by Cornelia, he thought it was the best cornbread in the world.
âItâs really good âHe ate piece after piece, giving Cornelia the biggest compliment for her cooking with his actions
Cornelia was also very happy when she saw that he liked it. After a busy day, it was all worth it She then asked, âWould you like to try the salad?â
Marcus not only ate the salad but even ate a lot of the seafood he usually hated
Ben, Dr. Dawson, and Briana were all watching them, everyone was filled with curiosity, especially Ben, who was completely in the dark.
He had been with Marcus for ten years and had never seen Marcus eat seafood Today, he not only ate seafood but ate a lot of it
Why?
Could it be because these dishes were made by Cornelia?
This guess shocked Ben, he said jealously. âMr. Marcus, you treat Cornelia much better than me. Iâve been with you for ten years, and Cornelia hasnât even been with you for a year.â
Dr. Dawson kicked him hard under the table, and Ben asked, âDr. Dawson, why did you kick me?â
Dr Dawson didnât say anything
She couldnât help wondering if Ben had used some special means to become Marcusâs assistant. It was really admirable that, with this kind of emotional intelligence, he could work with Marcus for ten years
Briana said, âCornelia made all the food on this table, so, of course, we should be good to Cornella, right?â
Ben, Thatâs not what I meant.â
Briana. Then what do you mean?â
Ben, just feelâ
He just felt that President Hartley was being a bit biased. He used to treat him and Helena equally, so why was he treating Cornelia so well now?
Marcus gave Ben a cold glance, âWho are you to point fingers at who I treat well?â
Ben was speechless.
Oh no!
He seemed to have upset President Hartley again.
Everyone was watching Cornelia had no inappropriate thoughts about Marcus; she had done nothing wrong, so she wasnât afraid of Benâs wild speculations
