She just cried, her eyelashes still had teardrops, and her nose was a bit red. It made his heart soften.
He gently comforted her, and after a while, she gradually fell asleep.
Outside the door, there was a knock.
Marcus was afraid that Cornelia, who had just fallen asleep, would be woken up, so he immediately covered her ears. After confirming that there was no more knocking, he withdrew his hand and went to open the door.
As the door opened, Ben poked his head out, looking very cautious. "What are you doing?"
Ben gritted his teeth. "President Hartley, Cornelia is drunk, and she's probably not in her right mind. If someone does something to her at this time, it might be illegal."
"Ben, you've been with me for so many years, but it seems like it's been for nothing." Marcus's tone was heavy, but his eyes were gentle. "Go back to bed; it has nothing to do with you."
Ben had always been cautious in front of him, but now he stood up for Cornelia, which was pretty good.
Hearing Marcus say this, Ben finally felt relieved. "Alright, I'll go back to sleep. President Hartley, you're the best boss in the world."
"Get going."
Ben returned to his room with a happy heart.
Marcus turned and went downstairs.
He made some tea and brought it to Cornelia's room.
