Chapter 321
Briana didnât want to leave Cornelia, but had to do as her brother said, âComelia. I totally spaced out and forgot about our shopping trip because I was on the phone for so long I didnât mean to ditch youâ
Comelia responded. âWhy do I get the feeling you did?â
Briana was unsure if Cornelia was onto something and felt a knot in her stomach âWhy would you think I ditched you on purpose?â
Comelia replied. âWomanâs intuitionâ
Just intuition, no concrete evidence Briana thought she was in the clear âWomans intuition can be spot on, but its not always 100%. Trust me. I didnât mean to leave you and my brother Can you forgive me? |
swear I wont do it againâ
Cornelia decided to tease her, âI donât feel like forgiving youâ
Briana was totally thrown for a loop. âWhy wonât you forgive me? Do you not like me anymore?â
Hearing Brianaâs voice filled with panic, Comelia realized she might have pushed the joke too far âI was just messing with youâ
Briana was neatly in tears, only to find out Comelia was joking âWhen did you become such a prankster? You scared the life out of me. I thought you were mad at me and wouldnât like me anymoreâ
Comelia laughed and said. âI like you! A letâ
Briana responded. âI like you too, a whole lot!â
On the side, Marcus was green with envy hearing Corneliaâs words Comelia spent way more time with Briana than she did with him. How did they establish such a strong bond so quickly, white he could never seem to win Comella over?
Marcus wished he could look in a mirror to see what was wrong with him. Why did all the other women like him but not Cornelia?
âComelia, letâs head homeâ Marcus had to end the conversation otherwise he would stand in the parking lot for hours while in the two ladies chatted.
âSureâ Comelia turned to get into the passenger seat
Marcus was still playing chauffeur, he started the car and drove home. Despite his poker face, Cornelia could detect his mood was off, âPresident Hartley, is something wrong? Any issues at the office?
Cornelia, what do you think of me? If you were single and I were single, would I be your type? Would I be your first choice for mamage? Marcus longed to voice his doubts, but he knew if he did, Cornelia would avoid him He could even lose his chance to go shopping with her
He couldnât voice his true feelings, never had he felt so frustrated Facing Comelia, he said, Tm fine Everything at the office is fine. Donât overthink itâ
At this point, Comelia couldnât decipher Marcus true feelings Perhaps she had misunderstood earlier. âAlrightâ
The ride home was only a few miles with no traffic. It shouldnât have taken long, but Marcus was driving so slow, even the cyclists were passing them
Cornelia didnât want to rush him, so she took out her phone and started chatting with Briana
Marcus kept driving Cornelia, in the passenger seat, was busy chatting with Briana on WhatsApp He had no idea what they were talking about, but Cornelia seemed to be enjoying herself.
He cleared his throat lightly trying to get Corneliaâs attention
