"Made up your mind?"
Marcus looked up, his icy stare finally landing on her face, his voice chilly as he spoke. He didn't bother with any false pretense asking why she suddenly wanted a divorce, instead, it seemed as though he had been waiting for her to make such a decision.
"I've made up my mind." Cornelia replied.
Marcus picked up the divorce agreement, casually flipping through it, and asked, "You don't want anything?"
"As your assistant, I’ve been around the block with you and done you quite a few solids at work. I've never shortchanged on my monthly salary and bonuses. As your wife, I haven't helped you with anything in your work. All of your assets are from before our marriage, and I wouldn't want to claim a share of your money." Cornelia responded.
"As long as we are married, the money I earn becomes our joint marital property. You can keep the gifts Granny Luisa gave you. I’ll throw in some extra bucks, then you do not have to work in the future, and there is no need to sweat the small stuff in life anymore." Marcus responded.
Cornelia shot him down, "No need, I can rake in my own dough."
Marcus again cautioned her, "Think it over."
Cornelia firmly answered, "I've thought it through. If there are no issues, then please sign at the designated place, and we can proceed with the divorce process."
"If this is what you really want, we don’t need to go through the hoops, I can get someone to handle it directly."
Cornelia chuckled, "Sounds good, it’s a win-win for both of us."
As Marcus was about to sign the divorce agreement, Patricia saw it and rushed over to snatch the document.
