Chapter 1059

Her favorite burger and cola were on the table. She could hardly believe her eyes, “Marcus, didn’t you always say burgers are unhealthy? Why did you get one for me today?”

Marcus replied, “Burgers have meat and vegetables, how could they be unhealthy? Some unscrupulous merchants just slander other foods to sell their own. Don’t let them fool you anymore, eat whatever you want, and don’t let them control you.”

Comelia praised Marcus, “Marcus, you’re totally right. You really are my hero.”

Marcus laughed. “Stop buttering me up and eat your food.”

“I’m not buttering you up, you really are my hero.” Comelia picked up the burger and took a big bite. The taste was so good it cured all her troubles, “I’ll save one for Tahlia and bring it to her later. She’s alone at my place, can’t cook, and probably doesn’t have anything for breakfast.”

Marcus said, “Patricia already sent breakfast over.”

Cornelia replied, “Marcus, you even think of such little things. You really are a good buy. Suddenly I want a friend like you.”

Marcus said, “You don’t need a friend like me, having a husband like me is enough.

Cornelia’s phone suddenly vibrated twice. It was a message from Tahlia: [I don’t want people at the company to know I’m your sister, and I don’t want to be accused of using our relationship to get into the Hartley Group. I’ll take a cab to the office today and we have to act like strangers there]

Cornelia agreed with a smile and after putting her phone away, she said to Marcus, Almost forgot to tell you something.”

Marcus asked, “What is it?”

Cornelia said, “Tahlia applied to the Hartley Group. Her major is financial management and she applied for a finance–related position, but the HR put her, someone who knows nothing about secretarial work, into the CEO’s secretary office. I suspect there might be something fishy about the person who hired her”

Cornelia suspected that Brennen was up to his old tricks, stirring up the order within the Hartley Group. She considered many possibilities, but Marcus casually gave her an answer, “I arranged for your sister to go into the CEO’s secretary office.

Marcus was always fair and just, so his words surprised Cornelia, “Did you give Tahia special treatment because of me?”

Marcus said, “No.”

Hearing it wasn’t because of her, Cornelia felt a bit better, “Then why?”

Marcus replied. “Tahlia is a finance graduate with excellent academic abilities. I saw her potential and wanted to develop it.”

It was rare for someone to receive Marcus‘ praise. Tahlia receiving such compliments made Cornelia feel proud, “Yes, Tahlia really is an outstanding kid. She was controlled by the Reese family for so long that she completely forgot she’s an individual.”

Marcus said, “We should help her discover her strengths together in the future.”

Cornelia replied, “Sure.”

It had been a while since Cornelia last went to work, but her abilities were not affected in the slightest.
