Chapter 256
Cornelia fell utterly uncomfortable with his act, âPresident Hartley. I should have done it myselfâ
âDid you grow eyes or hands on your headâ Marcus released her once he finished applying the ointment. He tidied up at a leisurely pace, looking at her âAre you thinking that I have some kind of intention towards you?â
Comelia did have such suspicions. But when he questioned her so righteously she thought maybe she was overthinking, âI donât
Every time he approached her she reacted as if he was about to devout her Her behavior irked him greatly, and he wanted to punish her severely. âYou dont?â
He had already pulled her into his arms, it was hard not to over think. But Cornelia dared not admit He had almady said he had no intention towards her if she kept thinking this way she would just be wishful thinking
Comelia thought that the reason why she kept misunderstanding Marcus was that she had never had such intimate contact with any man, including her own husband
Once Jeremy returned to Riverton, she would have more communication with him. She needed to understand how a real couple should interact, then she would be able to judge whether Marcusâs behavior towards he was the normal interaction between a superior and an employee
Seeing her anxious look, Marcus decided to let her off, âItâs my decision, no need to thank mel
Cornelia didnât intend to thank him, but since he brought it up, she had to say. âThank you, President Hartley!â
Marcus turned to look out of the car window. âDo you feel uncomfortable when you are alone with me?â
âNo Comelia shock her head, even if she did, she couldnât admit it
Marcus chuckled lightly, turned around and looked at her, âNo?â
Being stared at by him, Cornelia couldnât lie. âA littleâ
Marcus asked. âJust a little?â
Comelia scratched her head anxiously. âThen how much do you think is appropriate?â
Marcus said, âIf you feel uncomfortable with me, maybe this job is not suitable for you*
What did he mean by that? Did he want to fire her?
She needed money right now, and she couldnât afford to lose this job at this critical moment She said, âPresident Hartley, I donât feel uncomfortable with you at work itâs just when we interact privately.â
Marcus cut her off and said, âComelia, do you know what a secretary is?â
Of course, Cornelia knew She also knew that he was not used to being taken care of, otherwise, she would have to manage even his diet and daily routine.
So, was she overthinking?
After a moment of silence. Marcus called her name, âCorneliaâ
He called her name again in a low voice, which scared her, âPresident Hartleyâ
Marcus locked at her and smiled slightly. âMy wifeâs name was also Comelia, just like yoursâ
