Marcus couldn't read Cornelia's mind due to his position, so he texted her as Jeremy from his personal phone:
[How's work treating you today, Cornelia?]
After sending the message, he felt like he was throwing stones into the sea - no response. Marcus waited for a while, but Cornelia didn't reply.
Cornelia usually didn't carry her personal phone during work hours, so she had no idea she received a message from Jeremy.
Robert needed to get to the airport asap. The signing couldn't be delayed any longer.
After hanging in his office for a while, Marcus didn't come out. Cornelia had no choice but to knock on his door again, "President Hartley, you..."
Before she could finish, Marcus was already walking towards her, "Let's go."
He walked out of the office, striding towards the elevator. Cornelia followed closely, stepping into the CEO's private elevator with him.
Once the elevator door closed, Marcus said out of the blue, "Cornelia, do you know how exceptional you are?"
Cornelia was taken aback, looking up at her boss. His deep and sexy voice echoed, "You're the most exceptional woman I've ever known."
She had worked by Marcus's side for a year, and he never held back his compliments when she did a good job. But this was the first time she heard such high praise from him.
