Chapter 952
Ben peeked into the room, âCornelia, Iâm here for President Hartleyâs signature.â
Cornelia gestured him in, âCome on inâ
Ben asked, âSo, should I keep calling you by your name, or should I start calling you Mrs. President?â
Cornelia answered, âDonât spill the beans about my status to the others at the company.â
Ben laughed, âNo worries, I can keep a secret. I wonât spill the beans until youâre ready. But damn, Cornelia, you and President Hartley are really good at keeping secrets. I hang out with you guys every day and I had no clue you were the bossâs wife.â
Cornelia said, âIf I told you I just found out I was Mrs. President not long ago, would you believe me?â
Ben shook his head, âI wouldnât buy that.â
Ben slipped into his slippers, not noticing Marcus in the living room, âIs President Hartley in his study? Where is it? Can I go in?â
Cornelia said, âHe is in the kitchen.â
Then, Ben saw Marcus coming out of the kitchen with a dish, placing it on the dining table, âCornelia, you eat first. Iâll join you after Iâve signed the contract.â
Cornelia said, âIâll wait for you. And I guess Ben hasnât had dinner yet, letâs eat together later.â
Ben couldnât believe his eyes. The boss was cooking! How in the world did Cornelia get the boss to do this?
Women were scary! Marriage was scary! It could turn his boss into this.
Ben was so glad he had been single all this time, never had a girlfriend, or he might end up like Marcus.
*President Hartley, hereâs the contract for your signatureâ Ben handed over the contract, taking another look at Marcus, who, even in an apron, still carried himself with grace.
Marcus glanced over the contract and signed it, âSeen enough?â
Ben gave an embarrassed grin, âYes.â
Marcus said, âAre you staying for dinner?â
Ben wouldnât dare, âI need to take the contract back to the company and hand it over for the next steps.â
Marcus said, âAlright, you may goâ
Ben left quickly.
-After Ben left, Marcusâs tone and gaze softened, âLetâs eat.â
Cornelia nodded, âOkay.â
Just as they sat down, Marcusâs phone rang.
He glanced at his phone and said, âIt should be the DNA test results for grandma and Natalia.â
Cornelia anxiously said, âAnswer it quickly, letâs see what the results are.
Marcus asked, âWhat do you hope the results are?â
Cornelia expressed, âI donât want to set any boundaries for myself. Iâm willing to accept whatever the results are.â
Only then did Marcus answer the call, turning on speakerphone. The person on the other end of the line said, âPresident Hartley, the DNA results for the two samples you sent over are readyâ
