Chapter 122
Cornelia, of course knew how awesome Marcus was, and giving him full marks was totally justified Ms Lacy, why not a 107
The only flaw is that heâs not my man âAlvina Lacy thought for a moment and used a metaphor only a gel could understand itâs like you have your eye on a limited edition bag, but when youâre about to pay, youâre told itâs been bought by someone else. Can you still give that bag a 107â
It was the first time Cornelia heard someone compare Marcus to a bag, and she couldnât help but laugh. âMs: Lacy, keep talking, I
love listening to youâ
*Just call me Alvina âAlvina Lacy refilled Corneliaâs wine glass. âCornelia, you know I really like you too. Today, at the opening ceremony. I looked at you for so long but you never gave me a
responseâ
Cornelia was flattered âAre you sure you were looking at me during the opening ceremony, not at President Hartley?â
âOf course I looked at him and you Iâm just an ordinary person. Whatâs wrong with enjoying good-looking guys and gals?â
1s Ms Lacy complimenting me?â
âIsnât it obvious?â
âThank you, Ms Lacy!â
âCornelia, your skin is so good. Which skincare brand do you use? Recommend it to me, and I give it a try.â
Cornelia was not shy. Any skincare product works for me.â
The two chatted more and more, not only about men and skincare but also about entertainment gossip. They talked about everything girls could chat about.
While chatting and drinking, the two bottles of red wine quickly emptied, and Alvina Lacy ordered a bottle of champagne.
Cornelia rarely chatted so much with people she wasnât familiar with, but she and Alvina Lacy really hit it off. They not only exchanged contact information but also made plans for ther
next meeting
When they were full, Cornelia was already too drunk to tell direction
Alvina Lacy, who was also struggling, supported her. âCornelia, let me take you home.â
Cornelia hiccupped âOkay, you take me home first, then Iâll take you home, deal?â
The hotel staff couldnât bear to see the two drunk women helping each other. âLadies, we can arrange a shuttle car to take you back:
âWe are not drunk. Why do you need to arrange a car for us?â Alvina Lacy hugged Cornelia and suddenly kissed her cheek. âI like Cornelia, and Iâwant to walk her home. No one can stop
meâ
Cornelia, who had been kissed, was not angry but echoed, âRight, we are sober. You canât fool us out of our money.â
At this time, you think of money?â
Marcusâs deep and pleasant voice, with a hint of sternness, reached Corneliaâs ears, and she found it familiar. Who are you?â
She was not only drunk enough to be kissed by another woman but also drunk enough not to recognize him.
Marcus pulled her into his arms and smelled the strong alcohol on her. âhow much did you drink?â
Cornelia had disappeared after work in the afternoon, and he had waited for her all evening without seeing her. He called her, but she didnât answer.
Worried about her safety, he went out to find her and saw her looking tipsy.
Im not drunk! I can walk just fine.â Cornelia could indeed walk on her own, but her steps were unsteady, and she would surely fall if she took a few more steps
Alvina Lacy, who was also unsteady on her feet, mocked her. âCornelia, you walk like a penguin, hahaha.â
âYou guys arrange for someone to take her home After instructing the staff to send Alvina Lacy home, Marcus carefully held the unsteady Cornelia in his arms. âLetâs go homeâ
