That man had hurt her so much, didn't even show her basic respect, and she was still protecting him?
Cornelia knew he was overthinking and quickly clarified, "It's not being soft-hearted, I couldn't possibly feel that way toward such a person. I have a better way to deal with this kind of guy."
Marcus believed in her ability, which was why he let her handle it.
Cornelia released Marcus and strode towards Roman, asking with a smile, "What identity do you come to me with? Business partner or ex-lover?"
After a few years, this woman had become more beautiful and sophisticated, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking. "Does it matter?"
Cornelia kept her polite smile, "If it's about work, then please come to me during office hours on Monday. If it's as an ex-lover..."
Suddenly, Cornelia's face changed, her smile disappeared, and her tone turned cold, "Then please stay away from me, my husband, and my friends. Don't bother us anymore."
"Who's your husband?" After yesterday's meeting, he asked her out, but she said she had to be with her husband. He thought she was just angry with him and trying to piss him off.
Now she even dared to say she had a husband in front of Marcus, which meant Marcus knew she was married and still stayed with her. How powerful was this woman?
"Didn't expect you to be blind as well as heartless." Cornelia went back to Marcus, wrapped her arm around his, tiptoed and gave him a kiss, "Look closely, this is my husband! If you dare to bother me again, I won't let you off."
Abigail was flabbergasted.
Who cared about that jerk now? All she could think about was Marcus defending Cornelia and Cornelia taking the initiative to kiss Marcus.
Who could understand how she was feeling right now? Seeing her friend and a good man becoming a real couple was so sweet. There might not be any other couples that could captivate her as much.
Although Zack seemed to dislike it on the surface, he accepted the fact that Marcus was Cornelia's husband, "Nelly is the wife of the CEO of the Hartley Group. Whether she's the CEO's assistant is up to her husband. Who do you think you are, daring to talk nonsense here?"
Earlier, he was almost intimidated by that man, fortunately, Marcus appeared with Cornelia just in time.
Unless Marcus admitted it himself, Roman didn't want to believe it. He couldn't believe that Marcus, the helm of the Hartley Group, would marry a girl from an ordinary family!
He knew Cornelia was beautifu. She could be Marcus' bed partner, she could be Marcus' secret lover, but she could never be Marcus' wife.
