Chapter 679
Comelia 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?”

“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
But this time, it was completely different from the previous ones. He was domineering yet gentle, utterly irresistible.
Cornelia tried to dodge, but soon felt a cold sensation on her lips, along with a faint herbal scent. She immediately
realized that he was applying medicine to her lip in his
own way.
After ensuring he hadn’t missed a spot on her lip, Marcus let her go, “There, done.
Cornelia blushed and handed him the milk, “Here’s the milk. You should drink it first.”
Marcus had already had his morning cup, and didn’t really want more. But since it was prepared by Cornelia, he
accepted it anyway.
After finishing the milk, Cornelia took the cup from him, “It’s half past nine, and Moongazer Tech’s representatives

His health was not in the best condition, and the elevator incident might have taken a toll on him. The upcoming
meeting might go on for hours, and Cornelia was worned he might not be able to hold up.
Marcus chuckled and patted her head, “Alright.”
After looking after Marcus, Cornelia returned to her office.
She shared this office with Ben
Ben was sitting at his desk, zoned out as if something had shocked him. He didn’t even greet Cornelia when she
came in.
She said to him, “Ben, the meeting with Moongazer Tech is about to start. What are you daydreaming about?”
Ben moved slightly, as if snapping back to reality. He looked at Comelia with dissatisfaction and contempt, ‘Ms.
Stewart, I always thought you were a girl with self–respect and self–love, but I didn’t imagine.”
