Even that sentence had a special kind of charm as it came out of Marcus' mouth.
Cornelia nodded, "President Hartley, I'm sorry. I overslept and messed up the work scheduled for the morning."
"Actually, there were no plans for work this morning." Cornelia came closer, Marcus saw her reddish eyes and felt a bit tense, "You've been crying? Why were you crying?"
Cornelia quickly shook her head, "I wasn’t crying. Just got some face wash in my eyes when I was washing up."
Marcus was skeptical, but if she didn't want to speak about it, he didn't want to force her. He put down his tablet, walked towards her, "Lunch is ready. Let's go grab something to eat."
"Okay." Just as Cornelia was about to go with him to the dining room, his private phone on the table rang.
Cornelia paused, watching him pick up the phone.
Marcus answered, Zavier's angry voice came from the phone, "President Hartley, control your wife. Stop her from messing with my business."
Marcus, "What's wrong with my wife?"
Zavier said, "She is in touch with my wife again, trying to persuade my wife to forget about me. She even insulted me in front of Skyler. When did I offend her? Why is she targeting me?"
Thinking of Cornelia swearing, Marcus couldn't help but laugh, "Aren't you really behaving like one?"
He offended his wife Cornelia, and she could leave him bruised. What was wrong with her calling Zavier a beast. If Cornelia wanted to kick Zavier for fun a few times, Marcus wouldn't object.
