Men are all the same...
On another thought, she shouldn't just judge all men like that. After all, Jeremy was also a man, and she trusted he would never hurt her.
Cornelia kept her silence, but her face told Zavier everything he needed to know. "Cornelia," he asked, "would you forgive your husband if he cheated on you?"
"Mr. Rivera, you and Marcus might be that kind of men, but not all men are like you." Cornelia firmly believed Jeremy wouldn’t betray her. Even though sometimes she couldn't remember his face, she knew he once promised to live a good life with her.
Zavier chuckled, "Really, Ms. Stewart, you have absolutely no doubt about your husband?"
Ignoring Zavier's provocation, Cornelia asked, "So, you called me here to discuss my husband?"
"Actually, it's Marc who asked me to call you to pick him up. But it seems he can't get up for now..."
"I'll go back first then."
"I'll walk you out."
"No need!"
Despite her refusal, Zavier insisted on walking her out, rambling on about Marcus. "People say Marc is not interested in women. It's not that he isn't interested, he's just picky."
"I'm not interested in his personal life," Cornelia interrupted.
Undeterred, Zavier continued, "His attitude towards you is different from other women. He might be interested in you, just hasn't found the right opportunity."
"Mr. Rivera, watch your words." Cornelia didn’t need Zavier to remind her of Marcus' affection. She knew. She even suspected he had feelings for her, but his actions proved otherwise.
Anyway, she needed to stay away from Marcus outside of work.
