Jeremy: [Why's that?]
Cornelia mulled it over and typed: [He's the boss, and I'm just an employee. Do you really think we're birds of a feather?]
Marcus felt a pang of sadness when he saw Cornelia's message. He, as the boss, thought Cornelia would have a decent impression of him.
But it turned out, in Cornelia's eyes, he was just like any other boss - not her kind of people. He drummed his long fingers on his phone, replying: [We could be the same if you let it.]
Just as Cornelia was about to reply, she got another message, this one from Alvina.
Cornelia met Alvina at the Year 3033 Tech Expo. They hadn't met since, but they kept in touch on WhatsApp.
They gossiped about everything under the sun. Without even opening the message, Cornelia could guess what Alvina had sent.
She opened WhatsApp, and sure enough, the message was about Marcus:
[Cornelia, pictures of Marcus and his wife started circulating online last night. It's been nearly 24 hours, and it's still buzzing like a hit celebrity. Do you have any pictures? Send me a couple so I can post online and make a killing.]
Cornelia replied: [Do you think I have it too easy? Forget about not having their pictures. Even if I did, I wouldn't dare post them."
Alvina replied: [I know you wouldn't, just messing with you. Plus, seeing others make money makes me green with envy.]
The mention of money perked Cornelia up: [Make what money?]
