Chapter 681
âPresident Hartley Ben jumped out of his skin, quickly diving under the desk
His slick move left Cornelia completely gobsmacked
Marcus looked at Ben hiding under the desk, âWerenât you going to challenge me, chickened out already? Look at you!â
âI was just shooting the breeze with Cornelia, wouldnât dare to challenge you. President Hartley, youâre big hearted, please donât sweat the small stuff with meâ Benâs voice trembled with fear But he mustered up courge to crawl out from under the desk, hoping to give Marcus a piece of his mind
However, as soon as he met Marcusâs hawk like piercing gaze, Benâs courage evaporated instantly. âPresident Hartley, I admit Iâm scared of you but Cornelia, she is a good girl, sheâs our colleague too, with us every day. Donât hurt her
âCornelia is a good girl, do you think I donât know? Do you need to tell me?â Marcus moved towards Corneliaâs desk under Benâs watchful eyes, âLetâs go home together tonightâ
Comelia frantically signaled him not to blurt out such things in front of Ben
But Marcus didnât play by her rules. He respected her wish to keep their relationship under wraps, but he didnât want to keep it from those close, âChoose between Celestial Chateau or Blueshell Mansion, you have to make a choice tonightâ
Cornelia said, âLiarâ You promised me you wouldnât reveal my identity, now youâ¦
Marcus said, âBen is smart, you think we can fool him?â
Cornelia, knowing he was doing this on purpose, glared at him, âBig fat liar! Iâll never trust you againâ
Marcus wasnât bothered by her anger. He decided to take her home tonight and let her return to their house as the lady of the house, âWhere to? You choose, so I can get it readyâ
Cornelia said. âIâm going home. Zackâs birthday is tomorrowâ
Marcus said. âTâll go with you tomorrow.â
Cornelia said, âNoâ
Marcus said, âThe grandmas are back from Southern Peak.â
Hearing the grandmas were back in Riverton, Corneliaâs face changed instantly. Really? When did they get back? Why didnât they tell me?â
Suppressing a smile, Marcus gently tapped her forehead, âI wanted to surprise you, stubborn girl.â
Cornelia said, âWherever the grandmas are, thatâs where Iâll be.â
Marcus said. âAlright, Iâll arrange it
Cornelia said, âGood. The representative from Moongazer Tech should be here, and we should head to the meeting room downstairs.â
Marcus nodded
Ben was taken aback.
He wasnât smart. Even now he still had no clue what was going on.
The only thing he was sure of was that Marcus and Cornelia were head over heels for each other. It definitely wasnât a case of someone seducing or forcing the other
What a shameless couple! Carrying on behind their partnersâ backs!
Their relationship must have been brewing for a while, and he just found out today
Maybe they wanted him to know Otherwise, he might have been kept in the dark forever.
Why did they suddenly let him in on their secret?
Could it be they were planning to leave their partners and make their relationship public?
No way!
