Chapter 1200
Tahlia immediately chimed in, âIâll go with you.â
But Marcus interjected, âYou stay hereâ
Comelia and Tahlia halled
Comelia thought Marcus was calling her, but when she turned around, she realized he was talking to Tahlia. A weird feeling arose in Corneliaâs heart, making her uncomfortable. But she tried hard to suppress it
Cornelia pretended to be relaxed while watching Marcus and Tahlia discussing something. Tahlia glanced at Cornelia, then went back to Marcusâ side, President Hartley
Marcus said, âGive Ben a call, the plan must be confirmed tonightâ
âAlright Tahlia said
Cornelia realized they were just talking about work, she secretly blamed herself for thinking there was something going on between Marcus and Tahlia.
Comelia went to the kitchen and asked, âPatricio, is dinner ready?â
âAll set.â Patricia said
âGreat Iâll call them for dinner.â Cornelia said.
Cornelia was at the kitchen door again, âTahlia, dinnerâs ready. Get Marc to come eat.â
âAlright, weâll be right thereâ Tahlia replied.
Cornelia returned to the kitchen to prepare dinner with Patricia. Soon, several dishes were served.
Marcus and Tahlia also arrived As usual, Marcus pulled out the chair where Cornelia usually sat, but he let Tahlia sit down.
Cornelia looked at Marcus, but his attention was not on her. After being away for so many days, Marcus finally came home today, but he ignored Comelia all the time. Even the most patient person couldnât stand this kind of neglect, let alone Cornelia who wasnât a patient person. But considering others were present, Cornelia held back her emotions and didnât blow up at Marcus.
Patricia bluntly said, âMiss Tahlia, the seat youâre sitting in is usually Nellyâs.â
Tahlia was taken aback and immediately stood up, âIâm sorryâ
âItâs just a seat, sit down. Weâre all family here, no need to be all uptight. Do whatever makes you comfortable.â Marcus said.
Cornelia served Tahlia some dishes, âPatriciaâs cooking is really good. Give it a tryâ
Tahlia said, âThank you!â
Cornelia smiled, then said, âThereâs a room upstairs. I used to stay there when I came over. Patricia cleans it regularly. How about you stay there for the night?â
Tahlia said, âIâll go with your suggestion.â
Patricia seemed somewhat annoyed. How could Cornelia be so naive? Inviting someone for dinner was enough, why did she have to invite her to stay overnight?
Patricia couldnât convince Cornelia, so she could only hope Marcus would get Tahlia to leave on her own, not letting another woman spend the night here To Patriciaâs surprise, he also said. âShe doesnât need to stay in the room you used to stay in. Let Patricia arrange a new room for her, with all new supplies.â
Patricia was frustrated, âMarc.â
Didnât he realize what he was saying?
