Chapter 127
Not long after Marcus left, Cornelia woke up
She had a bunch of messed up dreams last night, dreaming about a lot of people, and weirdly enough, Marcus was in every one of them
Corneta quickly got up and splashed her face with cold water in the bathroom to wake herself up
She told herself that she could dream about anyone in the future, but the should never dream about Marcus again.
After getting ready. Cornelia went downstairs, thinking she was the first one awake. To her surprise, Marcus was already having breakfast in the dining room on the first floor
She immediately greeted him, âGood morning. President Hartley!â
Hmm Marcus nodded and pointed to the untouched food on the table, Thatâs yoursâ
Thanks, President Hartley Cornelia didnât hold back and started eating as soon as she sat down.
Marcus finished eating first, elegantly wiped his mouth, and noticed that she had resumed her professional attitude towards him, which made him feel a bit stifled, âWhere were you last night?â
Last night? Cornelia, who had a bit too much to drink, thought for a moment before recalling. âAlvina Lacy invited me to dinner, so I went out with her
Whos Alvina Lacy?â
âSheâs Mr Lacyâs daughter Yesterday, they invited you to lunch, remember?â
He actually forgot the name of the person he had just met yesterday
Luckily, Alvina Lacy had already given up on pursuing him
Marcus didnât remember peopleâs names, but he didnât forget what happened to Cornelia yesterday
So, the woman who sneakily kissed Cornelia in front of him last night was Alvina Lacy.
Did that woman want to steal his girl because she couldnât have him?
He looked at Cornelia worriedly. âDid she do anything to you?â
Cornelia had no idea about the twists and turns in Marcusâs mind and kept praising Alvina Lacy, âMs. Lacy is great, we got along really well, and like her a lot.â
Marcus frowned. âYouâve only just met her, and you already like her?â
âWhether itâs friendship or love, I think itâs about the feeling, not depends on how long youâve known each other?
âSo she just wanted to be friends with you?â
âShe asked me if you were really married âCornelia put down her fork, looked up at him, and said seriously, President Hartley, if you donât have any other intentions, why not announce th youâre married?â
âWhy should I tell others about my private affairs?â Marcus always thought that getting married was his own business and didnt make it public.
Cornelia murmured, âitâs not like you donât know how many admirers you have.â
âSo what?â
He actually said. âSo what?â
Cornelia was fuming
She was glad he wasnât her husband, otherwise, she would have been driven crazy by his rotten attitude
Why are you not talking now?â
âPresident Hartley, you said that we should not talk while eating âCornelia didnât know where she got the courage to talk back to him
Fortunately, he didnât ask any further. She quickly finished her breakfast, President Hartley, Iâm done eating. Iâll go prepare the meeting materials now.â
Marcus lit a cigarette, casually said. âOnce youâre done, finish the conversation we were having just now.â
Cornelia was speechless
What else could she say? She wasnt his wife, so his messedâup love life was none of her business.
âHmm?â His question was full of pressure
