Dr. Dawson instinctively glanced at Marcus, who was staring at his tablet without any reaction, as if it didn't matter to him whether Cornelia left or not.
Dr. Dawson shook his head helplessly, "Cornelia, have the oatmeal first, then we'll talk."
"Alright." Cornelia also planned to eat first before leaving, otherwise, Zack and Abigail would worry about her current state.
The oatmeal was soothing and comforting. Cornelia had one bowl and wanted another. Seeing her like this, Dr. Dawson said with a grin, "Being able to eat means you're getting better."
"It's mainly because of Dr. Dawson's cooking skills." After two bowls of oatmeal, Cornelia felt much more energetic and refreshed. "President Hartley, Dr. Dawson, I'll be going..."
Before Cornelia could finish her sentence, Ayden entered carrying a large box. "Sir, it's a birthday gift from Ryan. He insisted that you personally open it. I've checked it, and there are no dangerous items. Would you like to open it?"
Marcus nodded impatiently.
Ayden quickly unpacked the box and several layers of wrapping, only to find some adult items inside.
Ayden blushed, "President Hartley, how could Ryan..."
Dr. Dawson covered his mouth, "Well..."
Cornelia didn’t say anything.
Rumors had it that the president of her company never showed interest in women, and there were even gossip about his wife's infidelity within the four major families. Could it be that he preferred to touch an inflatable doll rather than a real person?
If that were the case, President Hartley might have some unspeakable hidden issues.
Cornelia didn't know whether to feel sorry for President Hartley or his wife.
