Chapter 119
She was supposed to be his wife, but he couldnât tell her, and that made him feel really uncomfortable He gave this to you, so just take it
Cornelia corrected him. Itâs not for me itâs for your wifeâ
Before she could finish, Marcus took the box, pulled out the bracelet inside, and quickly put it on her wrist No one is more suitable to accept this gift than youâ
He was so fast that Cornelia didnt even have time to react before the bracelet was already on her wrist
She hurriedly tried to take it off, but Marcus said. âShe went wear something someone else has worn.â
Cornelia knew who she was. So he didnât accept it because she had worn the bracelet
She felt her heart was stabbed by something very painful, but the pain came and went quickly
Marcus and her were just in an employerâemployee relationship It was normal for the boss not to like things worn by subordinates. How he treated her didnât really matter She showed a bright smile. Then I thank President Hartley for the generous giftâ
As she smiled and used words like âgenerous gift,â Marcus couldnât tell if she was serious or joking
Its late, get some rest After saying that, he turned and went upstairs.
Cornelia started to walk back, then remembered something, âPresident Hartley, donât forget to take your medicineâ
Marcus paused, then gently replied, âOkayâ
No matter how she cared for him, she couldnât deny that she did care him.
Back in her room, Cornelia looked at the bracelet on her wrist, being unsure of what to do with it
As she was struggling with how to handle the gift that didnât belong to her, Ben sent her a message, âCornelia, what did President Hartley give you?â
Annoyed. Cornelia replied, âHe wants to send me to meet Godâ
Ben, âRest in peace!â
The next day was the opening ceremony of the 3033 Technology Conference, and Marcus was one of the speakers.
All the other guests had brought their manuscripts, but he didnât.
Cornelia sat in the audience, and it was hard for anyone to notice an assistant like her.
But Marcus, standing on stage, was like a shining star, attracting everyoneâs attention.
With his every move he showed off the charm of a mature man.
Cornelia had to admit, Marcus indeed had the ability to drive women crazy
But being the woman of such an outstanding man must be tiring
His woman would be the common enemy of all those women who wanted to marry him, and others might even compare their looks and backgrounds.
If their looks and status were a good match, people would praise them as a perfect couple.
If there were some differences in their looks and status, others might say some unpleasant things.
But if he loved his wife enough, what did it matter what others said?
âWhat are you thinking about?â
Cornelia was so lost in thought that she didnt notice when Marcus finished speaking and returned to her side.
She shook her head and said, 1 wasnt thinking about anything.
Marcus said. âIf thereâs something bothering you, just tell me. No need to keep it inside.
Cornelia replied, â7 just hope that you and your wife can be together forever, and not let other peopleâs gossip affect your relationship.â
Marcus smiled and asked, âDo you think Iâm the kind of man who would easily change because of other peopleâs gossip?â
