Cornelia was noodling over how to keep the ladies at the office happy. As long as they were in high spirits, she was happy. However, Marcus, the guy's a business shark through and through.
For Marcus, raking in the dough was always priority one. He didn't have the heart to break a sweat for all the ladies.
Everything he did, every sweet word he spun, was just because Cornelia was his better half.
He would move heaven and earth just to see her smile.
Under his gaze, Cornelia felt a bit sheepish, "Of course, I'm happy."
As long as she was happy, Marcus cracked a smile, "It's late, clock out."
"Alright." Cornelia glanced at the time, rarely clocking out this early.
She was about to squeeze into the subway ride home when she remembered the company's new whip, so she dashed back to drive home.
On the way home, she'd pass a mega mall. Thinking of the gift from Jeremy, she thought she should return the favor, so she parked in the underground garage.
At the mall, Cornelia was in a pickle over what to buy. So, she sent a message to Zack Ruck, "Zack, what kind of gift do guys like?"
Zack shot back, "Are you already shopping for my birthday gift?"
Cornelia answered, "It's for Jeremy."
Zack responded, "Damn, how's he higher up than me in your heart?"
Abigail butted in, "OMG, you're really going to keep seeing him? Don't forget how he left you high and dry before."
Cornelia kept mum.
She shouldn't have brought this up with these two.
