Chapter 40
Heâs just her boss and she got into a minor car accident with her husband by her side to take care of her. Whatâs he doing coming to the hospital?
Then he called Leonardo, Wanna grab a drink?â
Leonardo said, âSure thingâ
Marcus was in a bad mood tonight!
Leonardo could tell right away when he saw him
After drinks, he said, âMarc, you and your wife have no connection. Let her cheat if she wants to. You donât need to feel bad for such a fickle womanâ
Marcus laughedcoldly, âDoes that woman even deserve my sadness?â
Leonardo asked, âSo why are you in a bad mood?â
Marcus replied, âAm I in a bad mood?â
Heâs upset but still pretending not to be.
Itâs embarrassing for a man to get c****d, so Leonardo didnât want to keep poking at his wounds
He changed the subject. âYouâve been in the West Region for over a month, and I havenât seen your assistant in ages. Wanna call her up to join us for a drink?â
Marcusâ voice suddenly became heavy. âSheâs a married woman. Why canât you let it go?â
âWhatâs wrong with being married?â Leonardo smirked confidently, âHer husband isnât as handsome or wealthy as me. If I wanted her, she wouldnât be able to escape my grasp.
With a loud bang, Marcus slammed his glass on the table, âSheâs mine! Donât you dare lay a finger on her!â
Heâs so drunk, with his emotions showing. Leonardo teased, âYours? What do you mean? Sheâs your assistant, not your wife. If I pursue her and sheâs willing, what business is it of yours?â Marcus knew very well that Cornelia was just his assistant and not his wife, and her personal feelings were none of his concern.
When she was injured trying to save him in the West Region, he had no right to be by her side. Now with the car accident, itâs her husband by her side, not him.
Leonardo says again, âMarc, if you want her, just take her regardless of her marital status. I donât believe any woman can resist your charm.â
Those words awakened the devilâ buried deep within Marcusâ heart. For a moment, he thought it might not be a bad idea.
But does he want her?
He doesnât know!
He felt highly displeased when he saw her being intimate with her husband.
Maybe itâs because his marriage involved a cheating woman, and he envied her husband for having a womanâs wholehearted devotion.
Leonardo took out his phone, snapped a photo of Marcus, and sent it to Cornelia. âCornelia, your President Hartleyâs wife cheated on him, and heâs so upset heâs crying. Maybe you should
come and take him home.â
After sending the message, Leonardo quickly put his phone away and casually continued drinking.
He thought heâs so clever for calling the beauty over. Whether sparks would fly between them now depended on Marcusâ performance.
