Chapter 1193
I was already after work hours, and only Marcus and Cornelia were left in the CEOâs office. Marcus lifted his hand, gently brushing Corneliaâs stray hair behind her ear, and asked, âHave you finished all the resignation procedures?â
Cornelia nodded. âYes. From now on, youâre no longer my boss and wonât get to bass me around anymoreâ
Marcus chuckled. âFrom now on, Iâll listen to youâ
âAlright Lets go out for dinner tonight I just made a pretty penny, and I want to treat youâ Cornelia said, draping her arm around his.
Marcus replied. âSounds goodâ
âWhat do you feel like eating?â Cornelia asked
Im not picky we can eat whatever you want.â Marcus said.
âAre you sure youâre not picky? Have you forgotten that you even choose your water carefully?â Cornelia couldnât believe Marcus would say he was not picky.
Marcus replied, âThat was in the past. Now that Iâm with you, I find everything delicious.â
This made Cornelia feel incredibly sweet. She tiptoed to his eye level, âMe too. Everything tastes fantastic when Iâm with you.â
Marcus wrapped his arms around Corneliaâs waist, lifting her up and pulling her closer, âCorneliaâ
Because they were so close, his breath lightly brushed past her nose, making her feel ticklish, very ambiguous. Cornelia thought he was about to kiss her and instinctively closed her eyes. But instead of his kiss, she heard his low laughter, âWhat on earth are you thinking about all day?â
Cornelia immediately opened her eyes and glared at him in annoyance, âHmph, if you donât want to kiss me, thatâs fine, but donât mock me. I donât want to talk to you anymoreâ
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished her sentence, Marcusâ eager lips met hers. He was kissing her very seriously
Yes, senously!
Soon, Cornelia was following his rhythm, lost in his kiss. When their kiss ended, Cornelia felt a bit dizzy. Then she heard Marcus teasing her, âYouâre such a fast learner at work, why havenât you improved your kissing skills?â
Cornelia was speechless This man was too much! He was actually mocking her for not being able to kiss!
Corneliaâs competitive nature made her unwilling to accept defeat, so she pounced on Marcus. She imitated his motions and kissed him back. After the kiss, she even lifted her head, âWho said I couldnât kiss?â
âWell, youâre teachable Marcus rubbed his sore lip, his eyes twinkling behind his silver glasses.
âYou sneaky man!â Cornelia said. She suddenly realized she had been provoked by him.
Marcus, laughing so hard his chest was shaking, pulled the fuming Cornelia into his arms, âMy Cornelia, youâre so adorable.â
Adorable enough that he wanted to gobble her up.
Adorable enough that he wanted to protect her forever, making her worryâfree.
Adorable enough that just looking at her made him feel incredibly happy.
Cornelia said, âIâm done arguing with you. Iâm hungry, letâs go eat.â
âAlright Marcus replied
Little did Marcus know, the restaurant Cornelia chose was the one she had booked for him and Mrs. Hartley for a date a year ago when they didnât know each otherâs identities and she was his assistant.
