Marcus hung up the phone and told Cornelia, "I didn't really have anything else to do today, just wanted to check out the art exhibition."
Cornelia responded, "Gotcha."
Last night at the auction, Marcus noticed Cornelia's interest in some artwork. He figured she might enjoy an art show so he asked her to arrange a visit. But she didn't seem too excited about it, which confused Marcus. He asked her, "Don't you like art exhibitions?"
Cornelia replied, "Does it really matter if I do?" She found Marcus's question odd. She was his assistant, her job was to accompany him, whether she liked it or not made no difference.
Marcus was left speechless.
A bit bummed out by Cornelia's response, Marcus pulled out his phone to call Steven, "I'm heading to F.I.G club now, bring the Ruff family, father and son, to meet me there."
Steven agreed, "Sure thing." He sighed, "Only you could get away with talking to me like that."
Marcus didn't react and simply hung up.
He had barely arrived at the exhibition when he decided to leave. Cornelia asked him, "President Hartley, aren't you going to check out the exhibition?"
"What's the point if you're not into it?" Marcus was about to say, but then changed his mind, "I just don't feel like it anymore."
With that, Cornelia followed Marcus to the F.I.G club.
On the drive over, Marcus asked Cornelia another odd question, "What do you think of Nimon?"
