Cornelia didn't understand why Marcus had to explain himself to her, feeling a little nervous, "President Hartley, this is your business, no need to tell me."
Marcus was also clueless but didn't want her to misunderstand.
To break the ice, Cornelia quickly changed the subject to work stuff, "President Hartley, the plan is set. I need to go check out the site."
Marcus said, "I've already handed that over to Ben. Come with me to a place later."
Cornelia knew Marcus had no work today. She was unsure of where they were going but agreed anyway.
They went to the garage, where more than a dozen luxury cars parked.
Marcus didn't call a driver. Cornelia thought he wanted her to drive, so she headed straight for the Bentley he usually rode in.
But Marcus walked towards another dark gray sports car, "We'll take this one today, and I'll drive."
Cornelia didn't dare let the boss drive himself, and besides, the sports car only had two seats. She would have to sit in the passenger seat if he drove the car.
She once heard that women shouldn't casually sit in a guy's passenger seat. A spouse or girlfriend usually sat there.
Considering this, she was even more reluctant to let him drive, "President Hartley, wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to drive?"
Marcus said, "I will be dealing with personal matters today. I need your help. But don't worry. I'll pay you triple the salary."
Cornelia heard “triple salary,” and her eyes lit up. She immediately sat in the passenger seat. "President Hartley, just tell me what you need me to do, and I'll get it done."
Seeing her so excited, Marcus cracked a slight smile.
Not long after the car left the villa area, he drove onto the highway.
The car sped along the road, both fast and steady. Cornelia was amazed, "President Hartley, I've been working with you for half a year, and this is the first time I've seen you drive. I didn't expect you to be such a good driver."
