Briana had always been self-assured and used to receiving compliments, but when Cornelia praised her, she blushed, "Cornelia, do you really think I'm that great?"
"Absolutely!" Cornelia gently patted her head. "But I have to go home today. We can hang out sometime when you're free."
"I really don't want you to leave." Briana hugged Cornelia tightly again, and they both walked down the stairs together.
Marcus was in the living room downstairs. At the sound of footsteps, he glanced up and saw Cornelia all ready to leave. He didn't need to ask to know she was leaving, "You're leaving?"
Cornelia nodded, "President Hartley, I'm sorry about last night."
Marcus stood up, "Come to my study."
Cornelia followed him upstairs. It was her first time on the third floor of the villa which had the master bedroom, dressing room, and study.
Just the study alone was quite spacious, decorated in a simple and generous style. And the number of books inside was impressive, like a mini library.
The most prominent book in the study was a rare edition. Cornelia had been looking for it for a long time but found it here unexpectedly. She asked, "President Hartley, have you read all these books?"
"Yep." Noticing Cornelia was eyeing the book, Marcus sensed her fondness for it, "If you like the books here, you're welcome to drop by and read anytime."
