Chapter 860

These were the marks she left on him, and he didn’t want to erase them at all, hoping the scars could stay as long as possible. Cornelia said, “You think you’re invincible or something? You always think you’re fine, but you’re not even as fit as me.”

Marcus couldn’t comprehend how such a small body could utter those words. He said, “I’m beat. We should hit the sack.”

The bed was small, they were close to each other, but no sexual thoughts crossed their minds. They just slept peacefully through the night.

The next day, they both got up at the crack of dawn.

The bathroom was tiny, they squeezed in together to brush their teeth and wash their faces. Their bodies, one tall and one short, reflected in the bathroom mirror. Oddly enough, it made them seem like a perfect match.

Cornelia accidentally got some toothpaste foam on her nose, and Marcus naturally reached out to wipe it off for her. Cornelia didn’t find it strange at all, as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

Then, they headed out.

As soon as they left, Abigail and Zack bolted out of their rooms. They glanced at each other and said in unison, “They didn’t do anything last night! They’re newlyweds!” Abigail asked, “Don’t you think something’s off with them?”

Zack replied, “I’m actually starting to dig Marcus.”

Abigail asked, “Why’s that?”

Zack replied, “You wouldn’t get it.”

Cornelia wanted to head off to the office separately, but Marcus insisted on going with her. He said, “What’s wrong with you giving me a lift to work?” leaving Cornelia speechless.

They arrived at the office early; only Yolanda and a new colleague Cornelia was not very familiar with were there.

After greeting them, Yolanda pulled Cornelia aside, “Ms. Stewart, I’d like a word with you, do you have a moment?”

Cornelia replied, “Yeah.”

Yolanda said, “Come with me.”

Cornelia followed Yolanda to her desk, where Yolanda asked in a low voice, “Cornelia, what exactly is your relationship with President Hartley?”

Cornelia replied, “Superior and employee, why do you suddenly ask me that?”

Yolanda pressed on, “I’ll ask you again, what exactly is your relationship with President Hartley?”

Cornelia asked, “What’s wrong?”

Yolanda said, “Answer me.”

Cornelia replied, “We’re superior and employee.”

Cornelia didn’t want to tell Yolanda the truth.

After Cornelia’s firm answer, the last glimmer of hope in Yolanda’s eyes vanished. She suddenly laughed, “Cornelia, I always thought you became President Hartley’s secretary based on your own abilities, but look at what you’ve done?”

Cornelia asked, “What have I done?”

Yolanda sent Cornelia a video, “See for yourself.”

Cornelia pulled out her phone and saw the video sent by Yolanda. Cornelia played the video, which showed her and Marcus. They were walking out of the office, chatting about something, when suddenly Marcus picked her up.

Yolanda asked, “Got anything to say now?”

Cornelia was silent for a while, without answering. Seeing Cornelia’s silence, Yolanda angrily said, “Cornelia, the evidence is right there, won’t you admit that you tried to seduce President Hartley? You know he’s married, yet you still tried to tempt him. Have you no shame?”

Cornelia replied, “The video clearly shows him picking me up, why couldn’t he be the one trying to seduce me? Why is it that I’m the seducer? Is it because he’s a man? Or

because he’s richer than me?”

Yolanda angrily said, “You… you’re shameless!”
