Chapter 1199
Zack was actually pretty pumped too, just trying to keep his cool. They were about to do something big, couldnât lose their heads over money
Abigail went on. âI did the math, after the five million hits our account, after taxes, website maintenance, staff salaries and all that jazz, the three of us should be able to split around a millionâ
Zack facepalmed, âA million, sounds like just a number, but how many people canât make that much in their whole life.â
Cornelia had been hanging around Marcus for so long business of the Hartley Group were always counted in billions. She thought sheâd gone numb to money. But when she heard she could make a million, she couldnât contain her excitement, because this was money they had earned with their own sweat and tears.
Abigail kept talking. âWhen we get the money. I plan to pay off some of my mortgage. Our mortgage interest is so high, weâve been paying for so long and barely touched the principal, it hurts just thinking about it.â
Zack said, âThatâs my plan too. Nelly, what about you?â
Cornelia replied, âI plan to pay off some of my mortgage as well.
Cornelia wasnât exactly strapped for cash. Not only she had assets from Granny Luisa, but also from Grandpa Augustine She had no clue how to manage these assets, so she had a financial advisor handle it for her. The money earned was all deposited in a special account, and she didnât spend a dime. She wanted to prove her worth with her own hard work.
Abigail said, âNelly, youâre living in the Celestial Chateau now, hardly come back to Lakeview Estates, and itâs hard for us to see you. Can you come back and stay tonight?â
Cornelia hadnât seen Zack and Abigail for quite a while, she missed them, but she turned down the invitation to return to Lakeview Estates tonight.
âPresident Hartley has been away from home for a few days, heâs finally back today, I want to stay with him.â Cornelia said.
âYou always put your man before your friends.â Abigail and Zack said in unison.
Cornelia laughed, âWith a hunk like President Hartley around, who wouldnât fall head over heels?â
Abigail chuckled, âNelly, so is President Hartley any good?â
âOf course he is! Even better than those guys in your novels who can go seven or eight rounds in one night.â Cornelia joked again.
âCoughâ Suddenly, Tahliaâs voice came from behind. Cornelia jumped, she quickly hung up the phone and turned around, not only seeing Tahlia, but also Marcus.
Marcusâ eyes fell on Cornelia, his gaze dark and complex.
Cornelia was sure Marcus had heard what she just said, she blushed and started to stammer, âYou guys are done working?â
Tahlia replied, âUh huh, Nelly, Iâll go back first.â
âItâs dinner time, eat before you leave.â Cornelia said.
Marcus added, âHave Patricia arrange a room for you. Stay here tonight.â
They spoke almost simultaneously
Cornelia was surprised that Marcus would invite Tahlia to stay over, she immediately turned to look at him. Marcus always disliked outsiders entering his territory, only making exceptions for his personal assistants.
He did so with Cornelia in the past, and now with Tahlia.
Tahlia looked at Cornelia, a bit embarrassed, âI think Iâd better go back.â
Cornelia smiled, âWe have plenty of rooms here. If Marc says you can stay, then just stay. Besides, itâs convenient for you two to communicate since you work together.â
Tahlia stole a glance at Marcus, wanted to say something, but closed her mouth.
Cornelia stood up. âIâm going to check on Patricia in the kitchen, see how dinnerâs coming alongâ
