Cornelia was sure the person who saved her was Jeremy. She even heard him talking to her before she blacked out. Why did he disappear after waking up? Seeing her awake, Marcus, who hadn't slept a wink all night from worry, finally settled down. "Who else did you think it was?"
He didn't expect himself to be so worn out that he lost his voice.
Cornelia propped herself up and looked around. The man she wanted to see was still nowhere in sight, which added to her disappointment. "President Hartley, when did you come? Have you seen Jeremy?"
He thought,"He is me, I am Jeremy." The urge to tell her the truth almost overcame Marcus, but he still didn't have the courage. He never thought he could be so cowardly. "He took care of you all night and left just now."
"He stayed all night and then left?" Cornelia retracted her searching gaze, disappointed.
Jeremy had risked his life to save her, so why couldn't he wait for her to wake up?
Was it because he didn't want to see her, or because he thought she didn't want to see him?
No matter what, they were still legally married, and it wasn't right for him to keep avoiding her.
They should really sit down and talk things through to decide if they wanted to divorce or continue their marriage.
Cornelia's sulky expression extinguished Marcus's joy at her awakening. "You seem disappointed that it's me who's been taking care of you."
Cornelia thought of a tactful response. "You're my boss, and I'm your assistant. It's my job to take care of you. How could I feel relieved when you take care of me?"
