Cornelia asked, "President Hartley?"
"Leave a contact for Ms. Lacy."
"President Hartley, I want your personal contact."
Alvina Lacy thought to herself: Who wants his work contact? What's the point of getting in touch with his assistant?
Mr. Lacy politely said, "President Hartley, my daughter admires you a lot. Why don't we have lunch together and chat while we eat?"
Marcus understood what the father and daughter meant, "Mr. Lacy, I'm sorry! I'm having lunch with my wife."
Mr. Lacy was surprised, "President Hartley is married? Why haven't I heard any news?"
Marcus laughed, "We've been registered for marriage for almost two years, but we've been too busy with work to have a wedding. When we do have our wedding, we'll definitely invite you."
Mr. Lacy felt it was a pity, but still had to keep a smile on his face, "Alright, then I wish you and your wife a happy marriage!"
"We'll be going then!"
Cornelia felt that Marcus's way of refusal was direct and effective, not offending his business partners and also cutting off other people's thoughts about him.
She thought the matter was over, but in the afternoon after work, Alvina Lacy invited her to meet alone.
The meeting place was a western restaurant.
Alvina Lacy was as straightforward as her father, "Ms. Stewart, I invited you here for President Hartley."
