Cornelia followed Marcus's gaze into the distance.
Since the Hartley Group building was the symbol of Riverton and the tallest structure in the city, it offered a panoramic view of the entire Riverton.
It was a fascinating sight.
However, after the brief moment of enchantment, a sense of emptiness crept in. Standing at the peak, without friends, without rivals, it felt hollow.
Cornelia guessed that Marcus might be feeling the same emptiness and loneliness inside.
She gently lifted her head and looked at him, "President Hartley, what's on your mind? Care to share?"
Marcus was staring at her lips. There was a clear cut on her lower lip, a result of his unintentional bite.
"Why are you looking at me like that while we're talking? Is there something on my face?" This man, he shouldn't be looking at her so intently all the time.
If this kept up, she really wouldn't be able to focus on her work.
Unexpectedly, Marcus was not just looking at her, he was also taking action. He quickly reached out, grabbed her head, gently pushed her head forward. He then lowered his own, and kissed her lips again.
This was his third time kissing her!
The first time was last night. Her reaction was so fast that before Cornelia could even register the feeling of his kiss, he had already let go of her.
The second time was just a while ago in the elevator, where he kissed her fiercely like a wild beast, only leaving her with pain.
