Marcus knew exactly what Steven had been up to, "You don't sound like I just woke you up."
Steven retorted, "I'm not like you, too scared to admit you're married. To you, a bed is just for sleeping. I, on the other hand, have my beautiful wife beside me. Why waste such a lovely night?"
Marcus said, "Well, you carry on, I'll call back in a few minutes."
Steven said, "A few minutes? Can't you give a longer time frame? Don't underestimate me."
Marcus said, "So how long should I wait?"
Steven said, "Just spill it now."
Marcus said, "I'm thinking about coming clean to Cornelia about my identity. But I'm worried she won't accept that Jeremy and I are the same person. Can you give me some advice?"
Before Marcus could finish, Steven rudely interrupted him, "Marc, are you deluded about yourself?"
Marcus was confused, "Huh?"
Steven looked exasperated, "Do you know who you are? You're Marcus, the man steering the Hartley Group, the world's richest man. With your looks and your body, there are plenty of women who'd kill to marry you. Why would you worry about Cornelia not accepting you and Jeremy are the same person?"
Marcus said, "Cornelia is different from other women."
