Chapter 635
Comelia didnât have a clear idea about how much one could earn from ad views Seeing Taylor so happy, Cornelia guessed that everyone could at least rake in a couple of thousands. Not only did she get back at the Reese family, but she could also make some dough. The thought made Cornelia extremely happy
While delivering coffee to Marcus, she had a grin plastered on her face
Marcus asked, âWhatâs got you so giddy?â
Cornelia shrugged âOh, nothingâ
The smile on her face definitely meant that it wasnât nothing. Marcus didnât buy it, but he didnât push it further. As long as she was happy, it was all good
After putting the coffee in its designated spot, Cornelia, as per the usual, stood in front of his desk to report the dayâs itinerary.
Cornelia said âPresident Hartley, at nine A M⦠we have to accompany the gentleman from Germany and show him around our Al factory at Riverton. Atten, weâll be accompanying him to the Riverton museum to get him acquainted with the history and culture of Riverton.â
âUhâhuh Marcus nodded, taking a sip of his coffee
Cornelia glanced at her watch. It was half past eight half an hour to nine, Iâm going to prepare some documents needed for the meetingâ
Marcus suddenly asked. âDid you grind the coffee today? It doesnât taste bitter enoughâ
Comelia had only slightly altered the taste of the coffee. She didnât think Marcus would notice, but he did.
She had to come clean, âYour stomach isnât in the best condition, and you always drink freshly ground black coffee on an empty stomach. Itâs not good for you. I added a bit of milk to your coffee, hoping you would gradually get used to it and eventually not prefer it so bitter.â
Slowly but surely, invading his life, changing him. Just like she did!
When she first came to him as an assistant, he didnât feel anything special toward her. To him, she was just one of the many girls.
But as they spent more and more time together, especially after learning she was his wife, she was influencing him, changing him.â
Seeing that he was silent, Cornelia got a bit nervous, âPresident Hartley, if you feel Iâm overstepping, then Iâll stopâ
âYouâre not.â She knew about his stomach issues quite early on, but she never thought of changing his coffee during the year she worked with him.
She was always diligent in her work, showing no care for his health. But now, knowing that he was Jeremy, she started adjusting his coffee on her first day back at work. This showed that she started caring about his health.
This put Marcus in a good mood, âFrom now on, Iâll be drinking milk in the morning, no more coffee.â
âReally? Can your body handle it?â Cornelia was a bit worried. Coffee was addictive, and it was hard for longâterm coffee drinkers to quit right away
Marcus said, âThereâs nothing that one canât quit if they want to.â
Giving up habits like smoking, drinking, and coffee wasnât something everyone could do easily. Usually, only those with strong selfâcontrol could do it
In Cornelia s eyes, Marcus was such a man with extremely strong selfâcontrol!
