"My wife's loyalty is our business, not a game for you to play." Marcus was glad that Cornelia had firmly rejected Zavier, but he didn't appreciate Zavier's mind games.
As her husband, the one who promised to be with her for life. He should have unconditional trust and support for Cornelia, no matter what she said or did.
Zavier laughed again, "Did I mention you and your wife? I was talking about Cornelia and her husband."
Marcus raised an eyebrow, "What's the difference?"
Zavier patted his shoulder, "Marc, let me remind you. Cornelia is loyal to her husband, not to you. To her, you're just her boss, nothing more."
Zavier knew Marcus well, and every word he said hit home.
"Mind your own business, I don't need your concern," With that, Marcus turned to leave, but Zavier's voice came from behind, "Marc, one last thing, keep your wife out of other people's affairs, otherwise, next time, I won't just invite her for dinner."
"Are you threatening me?" Marcus turned back, sizing up Zavier from head to toe, then smirked, "Zavier, I have a surprise for you too, I think you'll love it."
Zavier had known Marcus for many years and thought he knew him well, but he had a bad feeling about Marcus's "surprise", "What are you planning to give me?"
Marcus glanced at his watch, "Just wait a bit, you'll see."
"Marc." Zavier said.
Marcus waved without turning around, "I'm taking my wife. We'll catch up another time."
