Marcus said coolly, "Isn't it an honor for her to pick on you?"
Was this something a normal person would say?
Leonardo felt as if he could hear his heart shattering.
He waved his hand, pretending to cry as he covered his eyes, "Marc, you really don't love me anymore. Ever since Cornelia first showed up, you've been giving me the cold shoulder, you heartless jerk! Cornelia, give me back my Marc..."
His melodramatic act made Cornelia frown, "Mr. Wilson, can you not be so dramatic as a man?"
Yes, he was being dramatic.
Cornelia shook off her goosebumps, "There are a lot of people here, if others see you like this, it'll spread. Do you ever want to get a girlfriend again?"
That brought Leonardo back to reality. If he was shunned by all women for joking with Marcus, that would be a major loss.
He cleared his throat, regaining his normal tone, "Ryan, you haven't met Marc's assistant yet, let me introduce you."
"No need, I'm quite familiar with Cornelia." Ryan extended his hand to Cornelia with a smile, "Ms. Stewart, didn't expect to run into you here. How's your relationship with your husband now?"
Cornelia shook his hand, "Thanks for your concern, Mr. Ryan. My husband and I are doing alright."
Leonardo, "Wait, when did you two meet? Why don't I know?"
Ryan, "Cornelia's husband hired me to handle their divorce proceedings. I've known Cornelia since a year ago."
