She was ticked off. He asked if she had any interesting things to share, but when she did, he acted all aloof. Was this his idea of having a good chat?
Cornelia had no idea that Marcus was at his wit's end. He didn't expect that Cornelia didn't want to mention him in her personal life.
He thought he was doing pretty well as a boss. Why did Cornelia reject his presence?
Marcus was stumped, so he turned to Leonardo Wilson, who he thought was a love guru, "I pissed off my wife while chatting. What should I do?"
Leonardo sent back a long voice message, "Marc, I'm getting more and more intrigued by your wife. I'm dying to know what charms she has that makes you so into her."
"Because she's my wife." Marcus's answer was simple but powerful. Because she was his wife, he would protect her till the end.
Leonardo, who changes girlfriends quickly, didn't understand Marcus's rigid thinking, but he knew a thing or two about sweet-talking women, "Apologize! No matter whose fault it is, you should apologize first. Women are soft-hearted creatures. Say a few sweet words and she might end up feeling sorry for you."
Marcus, "Just an apology will do?"
Leonardo, "Or you could give her a gift."
After hearing Leonardo's advice, Marcus thought for a while and sent Cornelia a message, "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have left you in the care of other men, and I shouldn't have mentioned other men when we were chatting."
Just when Cornelia thought Jeremy wouldn't text back, her phone pinged. It was a message from Jeremy, apologizing.
Cornelia was still mad, so she deliberately didn't reply, letting him taste the frustration of being ignored.
After a while, Jeremy sent another message, "I've sent you a small gift to show my apology. The delivery guy is at your door, please accept the gift."
