Hearing this, Cornelia laughed heartily, "President Hartley, on behalf of all the long-term high-heel-wearing ladies in the company, thank you!"
Marcus could easily change the company's dress code, but he didn't really need to sweat the small stuff.
But when he saw her heels chafed from her high-heels, he instantly decided to change the rules. Cornelia had to give props again, she really did have a boss who cared for his employees.
Marcus couldn't understand why such a small thing could make her so happy.
But seeing her happy, he also felt cheerful, "No need to thank me, thank my wife if you must."
Cornelia was a reasonable person, "Then thank your wife!"
Mrs. King was particularly fond of these young people, the more she saw Marcus, the more she liked him. She said to her husband,"The young ones these days are way more reliable than you were at their age. Look at President Hartley, not only does he spoil his wife, but he also goes above and beyond for his company employees."
Marcus politely responded, "You're too kind, Mrs. King. I'm still a far cry compared to Mr. King. I have a lot to learn from him."
Mr. King laughed, "President Hartley, no need to be modest. We've been around you today, we can tell what kind of person you are."
Both Mr. King and Marcus knew each other's reputation, but neither could figure the other out. He had always heard about how ruthless Marcus was, but meeting him in person, he realized that was just hearsay.
This young man was calm and reserved in his actions and his personal life was devoid of any mess. If it weren't for the fact that he was already married, Mr. King would've wanted his daughter to marry Marcus.
After finishing their meal, they continued their afternoon inspection work.
At the end of the inspection, Mr. King formally invited "President Hartley, our wedding anniversary is on May 10th. I sincerely invite you and your wife to join us."
