Chapter 46
You guys all seem so chummy with Marcus, yet he acts like he doesnât even know you
Cornelia felt that Marcusâ cold attitude was once again eye opening His approach was simple, straightforward, and rude, leaving no room for illusions.
The girl bit her lip sadly, her eyes filled with tears âMarcus, donât you remember me?â
Seeing her friend treated this way, Briana felt heartbroken. âMarcus, this is Natalia, Natalia Reese If it werenât for that woman showing up, Natalia might have been your wifeâ Marcus said coldly, âMy wife? Who told you that? If you keep talking nonsense like this, stay home â
Briana, In fine. Dont argue with Marcus.â Nataliaâs eyes were full of tears, but she still tried to stay strong
Her wounded appearance might make any man feel sorry for her, but Marcus remained unmoved. âBriana, take your friend and leave. Donât bring anyone here again
âFine, weâll leave, hmph Briana said in anger, ready to leave but turned back and asked, âMarc, Iâm hungry. Can leat first and then go?â
Marcus loved his sister and couldnât let her go hungry, so he didnât answer and just walked away
Since Marcus didnât object. Briana assumed he agreed. âPatricia, is there still lunch?â
Patricia greeted her with a smile, Bri, you seemed to have grown taller again.â
âPatricia, I stopped growing ages ago. Only you think Iâm taller every time we meet.â Briana acted spoiled, hugging Patricia âIâm starving; is there food?â Patricia patted her head, âIf Bri wants to eat, how could there not be?â
âPatricia, youâre always the best to me âBriana told Natalia, âNatalia, come on, letâs eat.â
Natalia smiled at Cornelia, âMs. Stewart, nice to meet you!â
Cornelia politely smiled back, âMs. Reese, hello!â
Although Natalia was polite in words, her eyes were full of unkindness, just like her brother Cameron.
Cornelia used to get confused about Cameronâs hostility towards her, but today, meeting Natalia, she suddenly understood.
Natalia liked Marcus, and the Reese family naturally wanted to become relatives with the Hartley family.
However, they didnât resent Marcus wife but targeted Cornelia, the little assistant.
She was Marcusâ assistant, a position many people in the company wanted, and many worried that she would replace Mrs. Hartley due to her closeness to him.
Didnât those who doubted her know what kind of person Marcus was?
He couldnât possibly be in love with his little assistant!
Cornelia looked at Nataliaâs unfriendly eyes and asked with a smile, âMs. Reese, is there something on my face?â
Natalia smiled and said, âI think you are stunning; I couldnât help but stare. I hope you donât mind.â
Innocent Briana didnât understand Nataliaâs implied words and agreed, âCornelia is so beautiful!â
Natalia continued, âMs. Stewart, being so beautiful, you must have many suitors, right?â
âUm, indeed I do!â Cornelia replied generously. âMs. Reese, donât worry, Iâm already married, and I love my husband very much. I definitely wonât get in the way of your pursuit of President Hartley.â
