Chapter 166
“Mr. Wilson, don’t think everyone’s like you” Cornelia said with a smile, “We have to go get our
mortgage sorted, so we won’t be hanging around with you guys”
Marcus, who had been quiet, spoke up. “Cornelia, Ilwait for you outside Come find me when you’re
done”
“Sure “As a personal assistant, she didn’t have regular days off. She was always on call for her boss,
but sometimes, her boss would let her take a break when he’s in a good mood After they left, Marcus
took out his personal phone to text Cornelia but didn’t know what to say
When they got married, he gave her a card with enough money to buy a house by the lake, but she
never used it. She was serious about keeping boundaries and didnt want to use his
ΠΡΟΠΟΥ
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis realization made Marcus feel uneasy
Leonardo suddenly thought of something. Marc, don’t tell me you’re buying a house here because of
Cornelia?”
He guessed right. Marcus didn’t expect an answer, but he told him anyway, Tm buying a house here
because of my wife”
Leonardo, Your wife wants to live here? Speaking of her, I wanted to ask you, you were about to get
divorced, but then you suddenly announced your marriage and cleared up rumors about her among the
four major families. If you really want to be with her, why don’t you bring her out to meet the guys?”
Marcus. “You’ve already met her.”
Leonardo, When? I didn’t know about it”
“Just now!” Marcus mumbled in his mind. He took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and put it in the
ashtray next to him, thinking that Cornelia probably wouldn’t like the smell
Leonardo, “So why are you waiting for Cornelia instead of being with your wife? You’re not trying to be
like me, are you?”
Marcus glared at him.
Leonardo thought he had guessed right and continued, “The women I’ve slept with are only after my
money. They’re very clear about their goals, as long as you have money. But Cornelia is different.
She’s a good girl. If you and your wife are getting along, don’t mess with her ”
Marcus, I know Cornelia is a good girl. Do I need you to tell me that?”
Leonardo, “Are you just trying to get close to good girls?”
Marcus. “This has nothing to do with you. You can go now.”
Leonardo, ‘Fine, Ill go. It’s not like I want to be with you.”
After Leonardo left, Marcus waited for about an hour before Cornelia finished her paperwork.
He drove her today, and after she got in the passenger seat, he asked, “Did you buy the house?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCornelia nodded, “Yes”
He continued. “If you need any help later, just let me know.”
Cornelia, Thanks, President Hartley! But no need. It’s a fully furnished house.”
Marcus, “If you need anything else, just tell me.”
His recent concern for her was obviously more than what a boss should have for an employee, and
Cornelia was worried, “President Hartley, I can handle my personal life. We should talk about work
instead. Where are we going?”
Marcus said, “To buy a gift for my wife. Her taste is similar to yours, so you can help me pick something
you like.”
It was normal for Marcus to ask his assistant to help pick a gift since he didn’t know what girls like. But
Cornelia felt it wasn’t appropriate, President Hartley, I think it’s better for you to ask your wife directly
about what she likes. Or you can go shopping together, which might be better for your relationship.”
