Cornelia said, "I've poured my whole life's knowledge and skills into this, went through countless selections, and fought my way up from a division to the headquarters in the Hartley Group. Then, I had to compete with so many others for the position of the president's assistant. After even more selections, I finally got to stand before you for your selection.
“If I had made even the slightest mistake during this process, I wouldn't have been able to stand by your side as your assistant. This job wasn't easy to get, I can't just give it up like that.
“I'm glad you chose me as your assistant, because after working by your side, my annual salary has shot up from a few tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand. Over a hundred thousand a year, that's money that many people can't make in their whole lives. For me, that's already a huge amount, it has brought me one step closer to my goal of buying a house.”
Upon hearing this, Marcus suddenly felt an unbearable pain in his heart, "You've taken the past ninety-nine steps, let me take the next one, okay?"
Cornelia said, "Sure. But I need your advice now, should I accept Taylor's offer of two hundred and fifty thousand?"
After all, this amount was a huge sum to Cornelia. It came too easily, and she felt uneasy about it.
Marcus said, "We're in the information age now, information is more valuable than the people who execute it. Simply put, whoever you tell that piece of information to, can make money from it. But Taylor is different, if he didn't have your information, he wouldn't make that money. You should take that money, take it without any pressure."
His analysis was so sharp and thorough, and he could see the essence of the problem at a glance.
Cornelia said, "Thank you! You've put my mind at ease."
Marcus suddenly thought of something, "You told me before on WhatsApp that you wanted to secretly take pictures of the president and his wife to sell. Are you still thinking about that?"
Cornelia said, "Don't bring up what shouldn't be brought up, we can still be friends. If you continue to bring it up, we can't be friends anymore."
Marcus said, "I don't want to be your friend, I'm your husband."
Cornelia was speechless.
