Marcus chuckled lightly, his grip tightening, "Got it."
Cornelia kept her silence, as the elevator steadily descended, plunging the atmosphere back into awkwardness.
After a moment of thought, Cornelia began, "You..."
Marcus cut her off, "Stop being so formal with me."
His tone was low and stern, exuding an irresistible dominance.
Cornelia asked, "Didn't you say you'll pick me up at five? Why are you here so early?"
Marcus explained, "I wanted to see you sooner, so I came early."
Cornelia glanced at him, then lowered her head.
His straightforwardness left her speechless.
Marcus pulled her a bit closer, "Is there anywhere you particularly want to go?"
Cornelia shook her head, "No."
Marcus fell silent for a moment.
Cornelia asked, "Did you hear all that?"
Marcus countered, "Hear what?"
Cornelia replied, "Nothing."
He couldn't have overheard her conversation with Abigail, right? If he had, he would've reacted differently.
