Chapter 606
Marcus said, âIâll wait here, you go fetch her. I trust Clair will give the green lightâ
âThank you so much, President Hartley, youâre the bombâ She said, then dashed off like a bat out of hell
Cornelia approached Clair and Natalia âMy boss wants to have a one on one with Natalia What do you guys think?â
Clair was puzzled âHe just gave her the brush off, and now he wants to see Natalia alone?â
Cornelia gave a polite smile Are you questioning my honesty? Or do you not want Natalia to meet with President Hartley?â
This young chick, though green behind the ears, had a sharp tongue. One wrong step, and youâd fall into her trap
Clair had no time to overthink. Sheâd rather be fooled than risk losing the opportunity for her daughter to meet Marcus.
âNatalia Clair reached out, adjusting Nataliaâs dress strap slightly, and whispered, âGuys say they like sweet and innocent girls, but not a single one can resist the allure of a mature woman Donât always wait for Marc to make a move, be more proactive.â
Natalia nodded, looking lost.
Cornelia didnât catch what Clair said, but she guessed it was nothing good, judging by Nataliaâs expression âCan I take Natalia now?â
Clair said. âIf you can help Natalia become Marcusâ woman, and bear his child, there will definitely be something in it for you.â
âPresident Hartley has already offered me plenty Cornelia smirked, as Natalia headed towards Marcus.
Reaching Marcus, Comelia said, âPresident Hartley, Clairâs still watching us. Could you chat with Natalia for a bit?â
Marcus asked, âWhat should I say?â
Cornelia said, âAnything really, the cozier the betterâ
Marcus said, âCorneliaââ
Cornelia said, âHurry up, once weâre behind the lounge door, you can drop the actâ
Reluctantly, Marcus had to lower his head slightly, pretending to chat with Natalia
Clair saw this, a satisfied smile crept onto her face. Once her daughter married Marcus, no one in the Reese family would dare to disrespect her.
Entering the lounge, Cornelia closed and locked the door.
Marcus took a seat by the window, leaving the talking space to Cornelia.
Natalia looked at Cornelia, then cautiously at Marcus, âCornelia, did you use Marcâs name to get me here because you were afraid my mom wouldnât let me see you?â
Cornelia lightly tapped her forehead, âYouâre not as dumb as you look. Why do you always screw up?â
Natalia yelped, âOuchâ¦â
Comelia asked, âWhere does it hurt?â
Natalia replied, âNo, itâs just that you poked me and it hurt a bit.â
Natalia didnât want to spill the beans. Cornelia could understand since they werenât exactly pals. âHave you been stuck here since we last met?â
Natalia nodded.
Cornelia asked, âDoes your family want you to have some sort of connection with Marcus?â
Natalia nodded again.
Cornelia continued, âAnd what about you?â
Natalia was silent for a long while before she slowly said, âMy life goal is to become Marcusâ wife. If I canât strive for that, I donât know what else my life would mean.â
