Chapter 121
Cornelia asked. President Hartley?
âLeave a contact for Ms Lacyâ
President Hartley, I want your personal contact.â
Alvina Lacy thought to herself Who wants his work contact? Whatâs the point of getting in touch with his assistant?
Mr Lacy politely said, President Hartley, my daughter admires you a lot Why donât we have lunch together and chat while we ea17
Marcus understood what the father and daughter meant. Mr Lacy, Iâm sorry! Iâm having lunch with my wife
Mr Lacy was surprised. President Hartley is married? Why havenât I heard any news?â
Marcus laughed âWeâve been registered for marriage for almost two years, but weâve been too busy with work to have a wedding. When we do have our wedding, well definitely invite you
Mr Lacy felt it was a pity, but still had to keep a smile on his face, âAlright, then I wish you and your wife a happy marriage!â
âWell be going then!â
Cornelia felt that Marcusâs way of refusal was direct and effective, not offending his business partners and also cutting off other peopleâs thoughts about him.
She thought the matter was over, but in the afternoon after work, Alvina Lacy invited her to meet alone.
The meeting place was a western restaurant.
Alvina Lacy was as straightforward as her father, âMs. Stewart, I invited you here for President Hartley.â
Cornelia liked dealing with direct people, not having to waste time guessing their thoughts 7 know, but I donât think I can help you with anythingâ
Alma Lacy smiled. Tm going after the man I like myself, I never thought of asking you for help.â
Cornelia was a bit confused. Then why did you need to talk to me?â
âPresident Hartley said he was having lunch with his wife, but he was actually having lunch with you, and there was no other woman I just want to know if heâs really married?â Marcusâs stomach problems hadnât improved, and Cornelia was worried he might feel unwell, so she accompanied him at lunch.
âHe didnât lie to you guys, heâs really married, and he loves his wife very much.â
Alvina Lacy sighed. âSo he really is married?â
Cornelia nodded, âHe really is. Ms. Lacy, you are outstanding. Iâm sure youâll meet an even better man.
Alvina Lacy felt her Mr. Right hadnât arrived yet, âI know Iâm great, but good men arent that easy to come by. Please tell President Hartley for me that I wish him happiness too.â
Cornelia sincerely praised. Ms. Lacy is truly wise.â
âWhatâs the point of being wise? If he wasnât married, as long as I liked him, I wouldnât let him go. But Iâm also a precious daughter to my parents, raised under their care. I wouldnât stoop to being someoneâs mistressâ
Alvina Lacyâs views were upright Pursuing someone bravely when you like them, and cutting your losses when you know theyâre married, no one gets hurt this way.
Cornelia really appreciated this kind of girl who could let go when necessary, and her fondness for Alvinia Lacy rose quickly, toast to Ms. Lacyâ
Alright, toast to you too âAlvina Lacy raised her glass and drank it all down in one gulp. This bold move contrasted sharply with her delicate appearance, âBut honestly, President Hartley is the best man Iâve ever met, Iâd give 9.9 out of 10.â
