Chapter 473
Rosie was a total foodie. She couldât resist a good grub. But lately, she seemed to have lost interest in food and had been obsessing over Marcusâs every move Before, she hadnât noticed that the way Marcus looked at Comelia was different from how a typical boss looked at his employee
She couldnât bring herself to ask him face to face, so she texted Lucas instead. Tell me, Lucas. Do you look at your assistant the same way when Iâm not around?]
[Do I even have a female assistant?] Lucas replied.
Rosie, a bit pissed, shot back if you did, would you be ogling her like that?]
Lucas was taken aback. [When have I ever ogled any other woman?]
[You havenât in front of me, but I have no clue what you do behind my back. Your buddy is already hitched, yet heâs still eyeing another woman. Thatâs just low | Rosie said
[Marcus isnât what you think. His relationship with Cornelia isnât as simple as it seems. Give it some time, youâll understand] Lucas explained
Marcus had revealed his true relationship with Cornelia to the four of them. They all kept it hush hush from their wives, protecting Marcusâs secret
[All men are scum] Rosie retorted.
[Donât you know if Iâm a good guy or a bad one?] Lucas asked
Rosie didnât reply. This man was getting slicker with his words. She couldnât beat him.
After the four of them finished dinner.
Lucas took Rosie back to Serenity Bay first.
Marcus took Cornelia to Woodpine to scout for tourism projects.
Even during her downtime, Cornelia was expected to work. She hated it, but complied. Of course, she never slacked off during work hours.
Woodpine was a tourist city, with tourism contributing to most of the GDP But highâend tourism products were scarce, failing to attract the real big spenders
The Hartley Group had been working on business tourism projects in recent years, and Woodpine was one of their targets.
The team assigned to this project had previously analyzed Woodpine, so Cornelia quickly got in touch with her colleagues to get a hold of the analysis report on Woodpineâs tourism industry.
She was always strict with herself, never allowing herself to be uninformed during work hours
Seeing Cornelia busy, Marcus was regretting his decision.
He knew she took her work seriously, but he still used work as an excuse to spend time alone with her, leaving her with no time to rest.
Watching Cornelia busy contacting the project team, Marcus took her phone and hung up, âWeâre just here to check out the tourism scene. Consider this a vacation. Looking at things from a touristâs perspective will give you a better understanding of the pros and consâ
Since the boss said so, Cornelia had no choice but to comply. âOkayâ
Marcus arranged for a car, planning to take Cornelia around, I heard the Sapphire Lake in Woodpine is stunning. Shall we go there first?â
âSure Cornelia agreed.
From their current location, it was only a few miles to the famous Sapphire Lake in Woodpine.
Sapphire Lake was the third largest freshwater lake in the country. It would take about two to three hours to drive around the lake
It was located at the foot of a snowâcapped mountain. The distant view of the mountain and the jadeâlike color of the lake made Sapphire Lake a famous tourist spot in Woodpine. Every year, many tourists flocked to the lake.
As soon as their car entered the lake area, Cornelia was captivated by the picturesque view, âPresident Hartley, the actual view of Sapphire Lake is even more beautiful than
the photos online.â
Marcus just nodded, âHmmâ
