Chapter 322
Comnis quickly put down her phone, âPresident Hartley, are you feeling under the weather or something? If youâre dizzy from a cold of something and canât drive, let me take the wheelâ
Marcus
He didnât have a cold! His head wasnât throbbing, and he could totally drive!
The only reason he was driving like a snail was because he wanted to chat with her more But Cornelia was constantly glued to her phone, gossiping with Briana
âIm not sick âMarcus glanced at her, âWhy are you so into Briana?â
Cornella replied. âBranas not just a looker, sheâs got a heart of gold too Sheâs got it all, so it would be weird if I didnât like herâ
Marcus was actually grem eyed over his own sister, even going as far as slinging mud at her, âBrianaâs crafty side might be news to you, sheâs good at using her looks to pull the wool over peopleâs eyes, donât let her pull a fast one on youâ
Looking at a brother who slammed his own sister like this. Cornelia couldnât help but question, âis Briana your real sister?â
Marcus said. âSheâs my real sitter, we share the same blood. Im no angel do you think sheâs as innocent as she seems?â
Hearing Marcus label himself as a bad guy. Cornelia felt a pang of sadness. âPresident Hartley, why do you think youâre not a good guy?â
Before she knew Marcus Cornelia had bought into the rumors. She thought he was a cold, heartless monster who didnât give two hoots about family. To her and many others. Marcus was the kind of man who only cared about profits and was indifferent to all else
However as she spent more time with Marcus, Comelia started to see him for who he really was He was a businessman. Sure he was pursuing profits, but he never turned a blind eye to those around him, nor did he shonchange his employees
For example when the Al factory in Paris exploded in a terrorist attack, it wasnât his fault, but he still dug deep into his pockets and took action to ensure all victims and their families were properly taken care of The victimsâ families staged a protest, but once they saw the compensation Marcus offered, they willingly backed out and took up his offer.
Marcus offered such a compensation plan not just to put the issue to bed, but more importantly, he was able to see things from the victims and their familiesâ perspectives.
in Corneliaâs eyes, Marcus was without a doubt a good person, and the best boss in the world
Marcus glanced at her, âSo you think Im a good guy?â
Cornelis said. âYouâve always been a good guy An extremely good one at thatâ
Steven once told Marcus that when a woman calls a man a âgood guy, it means that man has no chance
Marcus didnât get it before, but now he kinda got the drift. âIn your heart, Iâm a good guy, but definitely not the kind of guy youâre into.â
Cornelia didnât overthink it and blurted out, âOf course I like youâ
