Chapter 581
That incident caused a huge stir in Rosenberg Clair could easily dig up some dirt on Cornelia if she wanted to
As time went by, many in Rosenberg still had a negative opinion of Comelia Some even badmouthed her without knowing the full story, labeling her a homewrecker
Last time her grandma fell ill. Cornelia returned to Rosenberg Even in the hospital restroom, she could hear people gossiping about that incident if Clair wanted to find some âwitnesses to blame her, it wouldnât be too hard.
if things really came to that
Cornelia wasnât going to sit around and wait for disaster to strike She had to stop Clair
So, Cornelia dialed the number of the head of PR at the Hartley Group. âThere might be someone trying to stir up a scandal involving me. Could you keep an eye on it for
me?â
Hilary replied, âYour problems are my problems. Donât sweat it. Iâll keep a close watch on the situation I wonât let anyone smear your name.â
Cornelia said. âThanks! Ill treat you to a meal when I have time.â
Hilary said, âWeâre friends. No need for formalities. Been anywhere fun lately?â
Cornelia said, âIâve been working like a dog, always at President Hartleyâs side. Iâm beat. When I get a few days off, I just want to stay home and sleep.â
Hilary said, âSame here. Always think about going out during work. But when Iâm on vacation, thereâs nothing like my own bedâ
Cornelia laughed, âWeâre both workaholicsâ
After chatting with Hilary for a while, Cornelia ended the call.
Like her, Hilary was a smallâtown girl who worked her way up through sheer effort. She was even more impressive. The head of PR was a tough gig, having to deal not only with the boss but also with public opinion
So, Hilary had become a pro at handling relationships. Having her keep an eye on the public opinion, Cornelia felt relieved.
With that sorted out, Cornelia felt a lot less stressed and soon drifted off to sleep.
Maybe it was because she had been busy till late the night before. When she woke up, it was already dark.
Opening her eyes and recalling the dayâs events, Cornelia quickly checked her arm. No allergic reaction.
Not sure if it was because she didnât eat many peanuts, or Dr. Lesterâs medicine was particularly effective, either way, she was over that hurdle.
Comelia freshened up a bit, then went downstairs
In the living room, Marcus was on the phone. Cornelia tiptoed over, but Marcus noticed her right away.
He turned to her, politely covering the phone, âAre you feeling okay?â
Cornelia shook her head, âThanks for caring, President Hartley Iâm fine.â
Marcus nodded, shifting his gaze away from her and continued his call. His voice was soft, and Cornelia couldnât hear what he was saying. But he only spoke a few sentences before hanging up and walking toward her, saying. âDinner is ready. Letâs eat first.â
His voice was as deep and soothing as always, but Cornelia thought there was a hint of tenderness in it that wasnât usually there.
Cornelia followed him, asking âPresident Hartley, are you feeling better?â
