Chapter 1067
Marcus dodged sideways, avoiding the hand that the woman was reaching out to him.
The woman missed him and smiled even more enchantingly, âPresident Hartley, what are you dodging? You think Iâd hurt you?â
Marcusâ look suddenly turned cold. âCut it out!â
The woman said, âPresident Hartley, then what do you want? You want to hook up with me? Fine, Iâm game.â
Cornelia sneered. Did this woman think she was invisible? Boldly flirting with her husband right in front of her
Cornelia stepped forward, standing in front of Marcus, coldly staring down the woman.
The woman didnât back down. She sized up Cornelia, âMrs. Hartley, my colleague is quite handsome, and he gives great service, arenât you tempted?â
Comelia completely ignored the womanâs provocation, and yelled into the room, Zavier, get out here!â
âPresident Hartley and Mrs. Hartley do not require your services. All of you leave.â With the familiar male voice, Zavier slowly emerged from the shadows.
The woman and the man heard the command, answered simultaneously and quietly backed off.
Comelia instinctively looked behind Zavier, searching for Skyler
Zavier laughed, âNo need to look. Skylerâs bent, still asleep
Cornelia remained silent.
Zavier turned to Marcus, a challenging look on his face, âMarcus, fancy a drink with me tonight?â
Cornelia said, âHis stomach doesnât agree with alcohol.â
Zavier said, âMarcus, can you rein in your wife? When men are talking, can she keep her yap shut? See, Skyler does it just right, never butts in when weâre talking. Women should take a leaf out of Skylerâs book.â
Cornelia was rendered speechless. It was the 21st century and this man still held such outdated views. No wonder Skyler chose death over staying with him.
Marcus finally spoke. In a low voice he said, âMy wife is an independent individual. What she says or does is her prerogativeâ
Zavier said, âOne day sheâll bleed you dry.â
Marcus said, âIâm loaded. If she can bankrupt me, it just proves her capabilities.â
Zavier said. âIs that so?â
Marcus said, âWeâve been standing for a while, donât you want to offer us a seat?â
Zavier said, âTo be honest, not really.â
Marcus took Corneliaâs hand, âWeâll take our leave then.â
Zavier said, âAlright, I canât win against you two. I just want to know if you could have a few drinks with me tonight.â
Marcus said, âSureâ
Cornelia wanted to protest, but she figured Marcus knew what he was doing, so she let him go.
Zavier was very generous, preparing a table full of lavish dishes with all sorts of delicacies
Zavier invited Marcus and Cornelia to sit first, then he got up to walk towards the inner court, âYou guys start eating. Iâll go check if Skylerâs awakeâ
Cornelia was famished, she didnât want to hold back. She picked up the fork and knife ready to dig in and fill her stomach. But as she picked up the utensils, Marcus stopped her, âDonât rush to eatâ
He told her not to rush, but he himself started sampling some dishes.
