Chapter 644
After a while, Clair was still going on and on, even bringing up some details that were beyond words. Natalin was fed up with it, finally she said, âMom, when are you going to pay Comelia the compensation?â
That sentence instantly put out Clairâs enthusiasm, she was so mad she gritted her teeth.
Natalia asked again, âMom, why did you hire someone to mess up Corneliaâs studio? Why did you set her up last night? Just because she had a disagreement with you last
time?â
In Nataliaâs mind, her mother Clair was a thoughtful person, good at hiding her true emotions. She could hate someone to the bone, but always seemed friendly on the surface However, Clairâs hostility towards Cornelia was too obvious, as if they had a deep hatred.
Clair was slightly surprised, then quickly found a reason, âSheâs the obstacle to your marriage with Marcus, why wouldnât I get rid of her?â
Natalia just listened, but she had more questions than ever.
After the lunch break, Cornelia and Ben had finished preparing the materials for tomorrowâs meeting and handed them over to Marcus for review. They didnât have anything else to do for the day
As usual, if there was nothing to do in the afternoon, Marcus would let them go home and rest. In the past, Cornelia always looked forward to Marcus letting them go home early, but today she wished they could work overtime for a few nights in a row.
Having nothing to do meant that tonightâs date with Marcus was inevitable.
After handing over the materials, Ben quickly said to Marcus, âPresident Hartley, if you think the materials are fine after reviewing them, Cornelia and I will take off.â
Marcus casually glanced at the documents, then looked up at them, especially at Cornelia behind Ben, âWhat should I prepare for my first date with a girl?â
This question reminded Cornelia of her first day working with him when he asked a similar question, but at that time she didnât know she was his wife.
Ben reacted quickly, âPresident Hartley, did you set your sights on a girl?â
Marcus didnât show any annoyance, but patiently said, âIâm going on my first date with my wife tonight, I need to prepare in advance. I hope you can give me some adviceâ
Cornelia didnât answer.
If Marcus really wanted to know what to prepare for a first date, asking his friends would probably be more accurate. Knowing full well that she and Ben had no dating experience, and still asking them for advice, obviously he was mocking her.
Ben seemed to hear a big joke, âPresident Hartley, you have been back in the country for a year, and the news of your marriage has been public for more than half a year. You havenât dated your wife in all this time?â
It was not that Ben didnât believe it, it was just that this was too unbelievable.
Marcus glared at Ben unhappily. âI asked you for advice, not for chitâchat.â
Ben still maintained the habit of a year ago, gently pushing Cornelia, âPresident Hartley, I think we should consult Cornelia on this issue. Cornelia is not only a woman, but also married. She should have more understanding of dating!â
