Cornelia laughed and said, "Maybe it's just not our time yet."
......
Cornelia had to stay with her grandmother for a while until her condition stabilized enough for her to be transferred to another hospital.
Marcus granted Cornelia a four-day leave, but it quickly passed, so she had to take her ten-day annual leave as well.
With Cornelia not at the company, her work fell on Ben's shoulders.
Ben brought coffee to Marcus' office like usual while Marcus was looking at some documents. "President Hartley, about this morning's progress..."
Marcus suddenly looked up, scanning the room behind Ben, "Where's Cornelia?"
There was no obvious change in Marcus' expression, but Ben still felt a chill, "Cornelia is on her annual leave."
Marcus said, "Taking annual leave during the busiest time of the year?"
Ben didn’t respond.
If he remembered correctly, Marcus didn't have any important schedules during these days, and the important work had already been done late last month and early this month.
Marcus said, "The coffee is cold. Go get a new one."
Ben answered, "Alright."
He wondered if Marcus took the wrong pills today.
