Chapter 551
Zack, noticing Corneliaâs hesitation, quickly comforted her, âCornelia, donât listen to Abbyâs nonsense Youâre still young, and got your whole life ahead of you. Youâre bound to find a man who you genuinely like and who likes you back Donât waste your best years on someone whoâs not worth itâ
âThe man I love and the man who loves me?â Cornelia chuckled, âHmm. She didnât say anything more
Abigail suggested, âItâs getting late, we should head back. We can talk more about this when we wake up tomorrowâ
Comelia didnât want to keep them this late, âSure.â
Abigail turned to Zack, âYou drive yourself home, Zack. Iâll ride with Corneliaâ
Zack nodded, âTake care of her.â
Cornelia chuckled and reassured them, âDonât worry about me Iâve been through a lot already, this is nothingâ
Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Abigail and Zack felt even more sorry for her.
Comeliaâs life was almost destroyed at a very young age, she had no home to return to. If she hadnât been so strong, she wouldnât be the Cornelia they knew today
Luckily, all of that was in the past, and no one could ever use it against her again.
There were no parking spaces next to Corneliaâs car, so Zack had to park his car some distance away.
Cornelia and Abigail watched him walk over, get in his car, and then they turned to get into their own car
Once inside, Abigail looked around, âThe Hartley Group sure is loaded, even their assistants were provided with Porsches.â
At this, something seemed to dawn on Cornelia, she paused as she was buckling her seatbelt, âAbby, I think I want to return this car to the companyâ
Abigail glanced at her, âBecause Marcus is your husband, you wonât even drive a company car? Are you nuts?â
Cornelia explained, âAccording to the company rules, as a new personal assistant, there is no way that I would be given such a good car. Itâs probably Marcus who arranged
itâ
Hearing this, Abigail got excited, âWow, Cornelia, I suddenly feel like you and Marcus are so sweet together!â
Cornelia glared at her, âSweet? You want this kind of sweetness?â
âI do, I do!â Abigail went on with her daydreaming, âCornelia, your story with Marcus is like a romance novel about a CEO and his secretary. The only pity is his past with other women If not for that, heâd be like the male lead in a novelâ
Cornelia ignored her, started the car, and was about to leave when there was a knock on the window.
Startled, Cornelia turned around to see Ayden standing next to the car with a blank expression on his face.
She rolled down the window, âAyden, whatâs up?â
Dr. Dawson, his mother, had been scolded by Marcus because of her, which gave Cornelia enough reason to suspect that Ayden was there for revenge.
Ayden was incredibly tall and muscular, definitely over six feet, even taller than Marcus who stood at sixâfootâtwo. He looked like a giant, and if he wanted to hit her, she wouldnât be able to fight back.
So, as she rolled down the window, she was already in gear. If Ayden really wanted to hurt her, she could just step on the gas and he wouldnât be able to touch her.
Cornelia was prepared, but Ayden didnât make a move. He stared at her with a blank expression on his face as he said it, âStrictly speaking, itâs not my place to say anything. but after giving it some thought, I think I should tell you.â
