Chapter 632
In a marriage, both parties were equal. But because she was his subordinate first, she unknowingly put herself in a lower position.
Maybe it was Corneliaâs gaze that got him. Marcus turned around and naturally made eye contact with her sneaky eyes. They looked at each other. But it only lasted for two seconds before Cornelia shyly looked away
She was sneaking glances at him, and that meant she felt something for him. This discovery made Marcus happy. When he was happy his aura naturally came back. Even though no one was talking, the vibe in the elevator became much more pleasant.
Ben felt like he should lighten the mood a bit more, âCornelia, did you go anywhere on your vacation?â
Cornelia shook her head
Unaware of his own awkwardness, Ben kept on talking, âWhy didnât you ask me if I went out?â
Comelia asked, âDid you go out then?â
Ben said, âI did Joined a hiking club, went to the northwest with a bunch of people. We walked through the grand canyon and apricot blossom valley. I was lucky enough to see the beautiful bloom in the valley and the blue ice Lake.â
âYou went to the lake to see the blue ice?â Cornelia was interested as soon as she heard that, âMy two friends and I have been wanting to go there, but we havenât had the chance. We had time during summer vacation in college but no money, so we were busy working. Now that weâre working, we have the money to travel, but no time.â
Ben said, âYou should go when you have the time, they say the lake is even more beautiful in the summerâ
Cornelia said, âYeah Iâve seen pictures posted by other people online. Summer time is filled with flowers, and the lake is a clear blue. Itâs as beautiful as a painting. Marcus, who was standing in front, heard this and took note. It was May now, there were still two months until July
Ben continued, âThe scenery is really beautiful, but itâs also tiring. We walked for days, carrying tents, sleeping wherever we ended up.â
As he was talking. Ben suddenly leaned in close to Cornelia, âCornelia, take a good look at my face, do I look much tanner?â
Benâs sudden movement startled Cornelia. She shifted a little to the side to distance herself from him, âI donât think you look tanner.â
Ben said. âThatâs because I put on makeup. Otherwise, youâd see a tanned person instead of the refined me.â
Cornelia said, âOh.â
Ben asked again, âWhy is your face so red?â
Cornelia quickly touched her face. âMy face is normal, right?â
What to do? Being in the same space with Marcus now, even if there was no interaction, she was always lost in her thoughts. This constantly thinking made her face turn red easily
âHmm, it really is redâ Ben suddenly thought of something. âCornelia, youâre not actually into me, right? Iâve told you before that I donât want to get married. Donât get your hopes upâ
