Chapter 90
Hannah cooked up some drama in her head, and Cornelia didnât know how to explain it to her, so she decided not to
Just now, her stomach feht upset, like she was going to puke, because she accidentally ate a snack with peanut butter in it
She had been allergic to peanuts since she was a kid, and she couldnt touch any food with peanuts in it.
But luckily, there wasnât a lot of peanut butter in the snack, so her allergic reaction wasnât severe
Cornelia had a glass of water, and her stomach quickly felt better.
Worried, Hannah said, âCornelia, maybe we should go to the hospitalâ
Cornelia smiled, âChill out, Iâm fine Donât worry about me.â
Hannah still wasnât reassured, âThen letâs take you home.â
Before Cornelia could refuse, Steven stopped Hannah, There are so many paparazzi outside, how can you take her home? Itâs safer for Ms. Stewart to go home by herself.â
âPresident Dixon is right, so I leave first.â Cornelia liked Hannah, but she didnât want to have too much contact with her.
Hannah was a big star, the wife of the Dixon Groupâs president Steven, and a friend of Marcus, while she, Cornelia, was just Marcusâs assistant. They were completely from two differer
worlds
They shouldnt have any intersection and couldnât possibly become friends.
Hannah watched Cornelia leave, then turned and punched Steven, âSteven, you not only interrupted my date with Cornelia but also didnât let me take her home. Are you trying to piss m on purpose?â
âIf you take Cornelia home, then Marcus canât take her home.â Steven grabbed her hand, gently kissed it, âGive Marcus a chance.
Hannah knew what Steven was thinking, âCornelia is already married, and maybe even pregnant.â
âSo what?â Steven sneered, lowered his head, and gently bit her earlobe, âAs long as Marcus likes her, how can she escape from his palm?â
Hannah shuddered all over, and memories of the past came flooding back into her mind.
She should know better than anyone, that when these rich and powerful men desired something, ordinary girls like them could never escape their control.
Steven hugged her, âIâm hungry. Letâs go back to the hotel for a lateânight snack.â
Hannah hid the desolation in her eyes, scolding him playfully, âYou pervert!â
Cornelia checked the time and decided to visit her grandma in the hospital on her way home.
She went to the side of the road, ready to hail a cab, when a luxury car slowly drove up and stopped beside her.
Marcus, sitting in the back seat, rolled down the window, âGet in, Iâll take you home on my way.â
He sat in the car, with no lights on inside. The streetlights shone on him, his handsome features vaguely visible to Cornelia.
In the dim light, his face looked so good that it seemed unreal.
A man being this handsome was really troublesome.
âPresident Hartley, I can go home by myself.â After work, Cornelia didnât want to get too close to this troublesome man, so as not to leave a bad impression on others
