Chapter 775
Marcus said, âGranny, if you have something to say, you can just tell me.â
Granny Rebecca asked, âHow do you plan to deal with Clair?â
Marcus answered, âGranny, you seem to be taking quite an interest in this person.â
Granny Rebecca said, âI once knew someone named Clair. Do you have a picture of this Clair? If you do, may I see it? I want to check if sheâs the one I knew.â
âWait a second. Marcus then shot a text to Leonardo Wilson: [Need a pic of Clair.]
It was past four in the morning. Leonardo was likely fast asleep and wouldnât see the WhatsApp message. Regardless, Marcus dialed him up without a second thought. However, a womanâs voice answered the call.
The woman purred, âWho the hell is calling at this ungodly hour? Donât they know itâs rude to call this late?â
Leonardo, who seemed to have just dozed off, was a bit groggy. Seeing the call came from Marcus, he snapped awake, âMarc, whatâs eating you calling me this late?â
Marcus said, âSend me a picture of Clair.â
Leonardo exclaimed in surprise, âHoly cow! You called me this late just to ask for Clairâs pic? Donât tell me youâre falling for her?â
Marcus retorted, âYou looking for a punch in the face?â
Leonardo laughed, âAlright, alright, Iâm on it. I think someone posted her pic on Instagram todayâ
In no time, Leonardo found Clairâs picture and sent it over to Marcus, âWhat do you need her pic for? She didnât piss off your Cornelia, did she?â
Marcus was pleased with the way Leonardo referred to Cornelia, âYou do know Corneliaâs mine, right?â
Leonardo replied, âIf Cornelia isnât yours, whose could she be? You must be thrilled having such a great assistant. Cornelia always has your back, wonât let anyone badmouth you.â
Any compliment about Cornelia would make Marcus happy. âWhen weâve got some downtime, my wife and I will treat you to dinnerâ
Leonardo responded, âReally? Youâre finally willing to bring your wife out to meet us. I was beginning to think that your wife was too ugly for you to show her off.â
Marcus said, âMy wife is the most beautiful and adorable girl in the world.â
Leonardo, âWow, are these words actually coming out of your mouth? Are you sure youâre not an impersonator?â
*Please be a little restrained, youâre not married yet. With that, Marcus hung up the call.
Leonardo wanted to explain that he was just playing cards with a bunch of people, and they were just chilling on the couch because they were tired. It wasnât what Marcus assumed.
But Marcus didnât give him a chance to say anything.
After getting the picture, Marcus took a look. He didnât have any recollection of Clair, nor could he verify that the woman in the photo was her.
