Cornelia thought she must have heard wrong, "Come again?"
Marcus repeated, "Tomorrow, you're going to the company. Hand over your tasks to my new assistant. After that, you can do whatever you want."
"But I can still manage the women's support group in my free time. It won't affect my work as your assistant." Cornelia said urgently.
Marcus replied, "But you also want to draw your comic in your free time. Doing that job well has more potential than being my assistant. You want to work for me and run a women's support group at the same time? Do you have time to help more girls?"
"How did you know I was drawing comics?" Cornelia asked.
Marcus looked at Cornelia, a hint of impatience in his eyes, "You're my wife. We've been together for so long. How could I not know what you're up to?"
"Stop looking at me like I'm some kind of freak." Cornelia shot back.
At that, Marcus burst into laughter. His laughter was really attractive. Cornelia was grateful that he didn't laugh often in public. Otherwise, seeing how handsome he was when he laughed, other women would be swarming around him, and she'd have more competition.
"Stop laughing!" Cornelia ordered.
Marcus teased, "What a bossy lady. She won't even let a man laugh."
"When did you become such a chatterbox?" Cornelia suddenly grabbed Marcus' head and kissed him passionately, silencing him.
Her assertiveness caught Marcus off guard. But soon he relaxed into her dominance, letting her have her way with him.
Patricia, who was in the kitchen, witnessed this and quickly snapped a few pictures to send to Granny Luisa: [Granny Luisa, look! Nelly's the one who initiated the kiss. They're really into each other.]
