Chapter 592

But Marcus was a free spirit, and if he didn’t feel like dealing with a situation, he wouldn’t, “Are you going or not?”

These kinds of events, even though they were birthday parties, were really business affairs. Comelia never got involved in this kind of stuff when she was off work.

But she kept thinking about Natalias message and wanted to see what Clair was up to. I kinda want to see what’s going on”

Marcus knew this wasn’t the real reason Comelia wanted to attend the Reese family’s event, but he didn’t call her out on it, “If you want to go, we’ll go,”

Cornelia was no longer surprised that Marcus listened to her, ‘President Hartley the guests for the Reese family’s birthday party will surely be dressed to the nines. We’ve got two hours till we need to head over. I should go home and change.”

Marcus said, “No need you can wear whatever. You’re with me, and no one will dare critique you”

Cornelia said, “President Hartley, I still need to go home and change.”

She had a big shot to rely on, but this wasn’t the time to do so.

Everyone would be dressed to impress at someone else’s birthday party. If she showed up in casual wear, she would stick out like a sore thumb and cause unnecessary

trouble.

Marcus‘ status was clear, and he could do as he pleases. But as a lowly assistant, she’d only be asking for trouble.

Marcus said. “T!! have someone deliver clothes to you.”

Cornelia said, “President Hartley, there’s no need. I have that dress Sallie gave me, which I haven’t worn yet. I’d like to wear that.”

Speaking of the dress, Marcus remembered it too.

He splurged to get the dress from Sallie to give to Comelia, paired with the fancy necklace he got her. “TII have Austin drive you home.”

Cornelia declined, Tm just an assistant. I don’t need a driver. I can drive myself. We’ll meet at the Reese family’s later.”

Marcus was taken aback

He just watched Cornelia leave, and his good mood vanished in a flash.

The dress was a deep blue, which wowed both Sallie and Marcus when Cornelia tried it on last time. But the dress had been in her closet ever since, as she never had a

proper occasion to wear it

Cornelia put on the dress, but felt like something was missing

She looked herself over in the mirror, the dress wasn’t particularly adorned. But the cut, fabric, and craftsmanship were top–notch. Her figure was great, and the dress showcased it perfectly

She was very satisfied with how she looked, except for the bareness around her neck.

A necklace would be perfect.

Cornelia didn’t usually buy accessories. She quickly texted Abigail [Abby, I’ve got a dinner tonight. Can I borrow one of your necklaces?]

Abigail replied [Your boyfriend gave you a pricey necklace last time, why aren’t you wearing that instead of asking to borrow my cheap plastic one?]

[I completely forgot about it until you mentioned it ] Cornelia quickly opened her bedside table, and a beautiful box appeared before her eyes.

She opened the box and took out the necklace to put around her neck. Perhaps it was a coincidence, but the necklace and her dress matched perfectly, as if they were made

for each other.
