Chapter 645
Cornelia tried to act as if she hadnât heard, wanting to dodge the question, but it found her anyway
She couldnât even look Marcus in the eye, âDates are different for everyone, right? Iâm not really sure what to prepare for a first date.â
Ben, standing alone, unable to offer Marcus any advice, unceremoniously dumped all the pressure on Cornelia, âCornelia, donât be shy Tell President Hartley what you and your husband did to prepare for your first dateâ
Cornelia was speechless. Why on earth did she have to defend motor mouthed Ben this morning? He should be shipped off to Antarctica
Marcus asked, âYou really donât know? His voice, low and sexy, was filled with oppressive power.
It felt like if Cornelia didnât tell him the truth, her real identity would be exposed.
Cornelia shot him a woeful look, âAm I supposed to know?â
Wasnât he her husband? Didnât she know if she had ever been on a date with her husband?
She had never even dated her own husband, how was she supposed to know what to prepare for a first date?
During this tense moment, Leonardo barged in, âMarc, I must ask you something. This thing has kept me up all night, Iâm on the verge of a meltdown.â
Behind him was Wendy from the secretaryâs office, who didnât stop him from barging into the CEOâs office, afraid of being scolded by Marcus, âPresident Hartley, Mr. Wilson insisted on seeing you. I tried to stop him, but he was too strong for me.â
Leonardo gave Wendy a smile, Tm tight with him, so donât worry about not being able to stop me. He wonât blame you. Donât be scared, sweetheart.â
Wendy looked worriedly at Marcus, but his aura was too intimidating, she couldrit meet his gaze.
Luckily, Comelia stepped in, âWendy, Mr. Wilson is one of us, donât worry. Go ahead with your work.â
Wendy shot Cornelia a grateful look and quickly left the CEOâs office.
Leonardo walked over to Marcusâ desk, âMarc, are you guys discussing something important? Have I come at a bad time? I donât care, no matter how important it is, you have to put it aside and answer my question. Itâs a simple question, itâll only take a minute.â
Ben was quick on the draw, âMr. Wilson, youâre just in time. Youâre experienced in love matters, you must know what to prepare for a first date with a girl.â
Without a second thought, Leonardo replied, âCondoms, of course!â
Ben, âUh, Mr. Wilsonâ¦â
Marcusâ brow furrowed slightly, the look in his eyes behind his glasses sweeping over Cornelia, worried that she might misunderstand that Leonardo was intentionally arranged by him.
Cornelia didnât speak.
This was indeed inevitable, but in the case of two people who were not familiar with each other, especially her awkward relationship with Marcus, it was indeed very embarrassing to bring it up.
When it came to dating. Leonardo instantly forgot that he was originally here to find Marcus and was ready to hold forth in front of these less experienced people, âBen, have you found a girlfriend? Preparing for your first date? Youâre asking the right person.â
âMr. Collins, itâs not me!â Ben discreetly pointed at Marcus, but Leonardo didnât notice..
