Chapter 662
âThe Reese Group?â Marcus said nonchalantly, twirling his wine glass with his elegant and attractive fingers. A little Reese Group is no match for me. I could make them go bankrupt as easily as squashing an ant, if I felt like itâ
Marcus was indeed capable of doing so, Cornelia knew that. But she was still a bit worried. âWe should be careful Direct attacks are easy to handle, but covert ones are hard to predictâ
Marcus interrupted, âLetâs not talk about unpleasant things. Just enjoy your mealâ
Comelia lowered her head and focused on her food. She was so nervous that she drank a few more glasses of wine.
After dinner, it was dark outside, but the lights were bright. Marcus said, âI heard from Shawn that thereâs a famous band playing here tonight Wanna go check it out?â
Comelia thought watching a show would be more relaxing than staying in the room. So she agreed, âSure.â
Marcus turned and fetched two clean jackets, one jacket for him and one for her. âPut this onâ
Comelia looked at him, âWhere did you get this jacket?â
âShawn prepared them for us? Marcus said Actually, he knew the temperature difference here was quite big day and night, so he had it sent over in advance
Cornelia wanted to say something, but he took her hand, âHow about taking a walk?â
Marcus was handsome, with a deep and sexy voice that was very seductive.
Comelia followed him, her heart pounding like a frightened deer, unable to resist him. âAlright, letâs take a walk.â
Marcusâs palm was large but cold, not like the warm hand that held hers before.
Why did his hand suddenly become so cold? Cornelia guessed it was because he was not in good health lately, and the sea breeze might have contributed to it.
But knowing menâs pride, she said nothing and casually put their hands in her pocket, trying to warm him up.
Stepping out of the glass house, a cold wind blew. Cornelia shivered, but immediately took off her jacket and draped it over Marcus, âYou just recovered, you should be more afraid of the cold than me Wear this.â
Marcus smiled. Iâm not coldâ
âYour hand is so coldâ Cornelia pulled him back into the glass house, rubbing and kneading his hand.
Even after a while, his hand was still cold. Without much thought, Cornelia pressed his hand against her warm face, âThis might help.â
Marcus leaned in close to her, his warm breath in her ear, âCorneliaâ¦â
Caught off guard, Cornelia looked up and her warm, flushed lips brushed against his face. She was surprised and saw her red face reflected in his dark eyes
Feeling shy, she tried to pull away, but Marcus held her tightly, his face rubbing against hersâ¦
She tried to turn her head away, âPresident Hartley, this glass house is transparent. We didnât pull the curtains. Anyone passing by can see us. If someone takes a picture and posts it online, it wonât be good. Stop itâ
Marcus seemed to ignore her words, he gently rubbed her face again, âCornelia, this way, I feel a bit warmer.â
Hearing this, not only did Cornelia stop trying to turn her head away, but she also wrapped her arms around his slim waist, as if trying to transfer all her warmth to him.
