Chapter 400
Zavier was getting more and more pis s ed off, âYou seem to trust Marcus a lot. Have you got a crush on him or something?â
He was always nice to Skyler, but Skyler always managed to dodge him. Comelia, who didnât even know she was Marcusâs wife, placed a high level of trust in Marcus.
He just couldnât figure that out.
Comelia responded simply, âMarcus is my boss. If I donât trust him, should I trust you instead?â
Zavier retorted, âYouâre dodging the question.â
Comelia confessed openly, âI do like him! Who wouldnât like a guy as fantastic as him? But itâs just professional admiration, not love.â
âAre you sure you donât have any romantic feelings for Marcus? Zavier wished that what Comelia was saying was true. In their circle of friends, Steven and Lucas had very happy marriages. If Marcus also had a happy marriage, he would be the only one left alone, and that would make him feel pretty c rap.
Comelia glared at him, âYou think Iâd meddle in someone elseâs relationship like you?â
Despite being called out by Comelia, Zavier didnât care, âSince you donât have feelings for Marcus, why not choose me? If you choose me, I can give you whatever you want. You wouldnât need to chase around after Marcus trying to make money anymore.â
Comelia put down her fork, âIâm done eating.â
Zavier was surprised, âWhy all of a sudden stop eating?â
Comelia said, âYour words made me lose my appetite.
Zavier asked with a smile, âWhich words made you lose your appetite?â
Comelia checked the time, âYou invited me to dinner and then kept talking like this. Itâs clear youâre not genuinely asking me out. If you have something to say, just spit it out. Also, my flight is about to take off. If I miss it because of you, youâll have to pay for my change fee.â
âWasnât I clear enough? I think youâre gorgeous, and I want to pursue your Zavier pulled out a bank card, âThereâs five million in this card. As long as you agree to be my girlfriend, all this money is yours, enough to change your flight many times.â
âWho needs your money? Comelia glanced at the card he handed over, got up and left immediately. But as she reached the door, she was stopped by Zavierâs bodyguard.
Comelia turned around to see Zavier lighting a cigarette with a smile, âMs. Stewart, you havenât finished your meal.â
Meaning if she didnât finish her meal, he wouldnât let her leave.
Comelia gritted her teeth in anger, âI need to get back to work. President Hartley is waiting for me. If I donât go back right away, heâll definitely come looking for me. I donât think you want to ruin your friendship with him because of me.â
Zavier chuckled, âYouâre so sure Marcus would fall out with me over you?â
Comelia replied assertively, Tm absolutely certain.â
Zavier retorted, âYouâre just his assistant. Anyone can do your job. Why are you so sure Marcus would protect you?â
In the past, Comelia wasnât sure. But after working with Marcus for so long, he had repeatedly shown that he would support her. So Comelia was very confident that Marcus wouldnât let anyone bully her.
She replied with a smile, âBecause Iâm his assistant, as long as I work at the Hartley Group, he will protect me. If you donât believe me, f can call him right now in front of youâ
