Marcus asked, "Is there anything you need help with?"
Cornelia replied, "Thanks for your concern, President Hartley, but it's just some personal stuff."
The conversation between the two ended with this answer. Just then, the chef brought in breakfast.
Marcus sat down first, and Cornelia took a seat across from him.
The breakfast is very rich. Marcus had specifically asked the chef to prepare it for her, but Cornelia didn't touch it, "Not to your liking?"
"I had a late dinner last night, and I'm not very hungry now. My appetite isn't great, I just want some porridge." Cornelia scooped herself a bowl, and it tasted even better than she had imagined.
Both dishes were from the same recipe, so Cornelia wondered how the chef's version could be so delicious.
Cornelia asked, "President Hartley, could I learn how to make this from your chef?"
Marcus replied, "If you want to eat it, let her cook it for you. If you want to learn, let her teach you." Finally, there was something that suited her taste, and Marcus abandoned the idea of changing chefs.
Cornelia said, "Thank you, President Hartley!"
Hearing her cheerful tone, Marcus smiled and said nothing more.
The two ate quietly until Cornelia's personal phone rang, breaking the silence.
Cornelia thought it was Zack and Abigail coming to pick her up, so she happily took out her phone. But when she saw the caller ID as "Mr. Ryan," her expression changed instantly, "Mr. Ryan, what's up?"
Ryan said, "Ms. Stewart, your husband has picked out a house to give you. Today, I'll accompany you to transfer the ownership."
