Cornelia sighed and reluctantly continued the topic, "I haven't even worked with you for a year, and I've already seen women slipping you notes, flirting with you, getting close to you, and chasing you like Alvina Lacy."
With Marcus's status, even if his reputation for not being interested in women has spread far and wide, there are still people trying to throw women at him every day.
To put it nicely, they're offering him women to play with, but actually it's all temptation and traps. Once he makes a mistake and someone gets a hold of him, he'll be at their mercy.
Over the years, Marcus has become experienced in dealing with these situations, but no matter how he deals with those people, there are always others who take their chances.
So far, he hasn't found a foolproof way to stop people from throwing women to him.
He was curious to hear what good advice Cornelia could give, "Go on."
Well then, Cornelia boldly said, "If you announce that you're married, it'll put off a lot of people. Not only will it save you a lot of trouble, but it'll also make your wife happy. Why not?"
Cornelia saw the issue too simply, not knowing how dangerous it was around Marcus and the pressure his wife might have to bear.
But since she wanted it to be public, he would make it public.
Now, he had the ability to protect her completely.
Marcus immediately picked up his phone and dialed the head of PR for the Hartley Group, "Draft a press release announcing my marriage."
Cornelia was shocked.
Why would he listen to her?
