Jeremy stashed his bank card in his marriage certificate but then lost it, so now he had no clue where his card was.
Even though they were married, he and Cornelia weren’t living together and Cornelia didn’t want any favors from him.
She told him, "Keep your money to yourself, don't even think about spending it on me. I can earn my own money. In my opinion, a healthy marriage isn't about one person being the breadwinner, but the two of us working together to better our lives. If one of us loses their job, the other should be able to hold the fort."
Jeremy replied, "Yeah, I'm with you on that."
Cornelia said, "I'll hold onto this necklace for now, and give it back when we meet."
Jeremy asked, "Why?"
Cornelia said, "We're not back together, so don't think you can buy your way out of the doghouse with gifts. Anyway, I'm off to grab a bite with friends."
After reading Cornelia's final message, Marcus called Leonardo and said, "Who said you can smooth things over with gifts?"
Leonardo innocently replied, "My method always worked before. I didn't expect it to flop with you."
After the holiday, Cornelia and Marcus headed to Marshland Haven for a field trip on their first day back at work.
They were joined by the CEO of Silver Edge Co., Mr. King, who's in his fifties and always hand in hand with his wife, Mrs. King.
They originally planned to walk around Marshland Haven, but Mr. King suggested they take the sightseeing car considering his wife is in heels.
