Chapter 807
When Cornelia woke up, the sun was already high up and Marcus was nowhere to be found
Her internal clock was usually spot on. Even without an alarm, she’d wake up around the same time. What on earth
had her sleeping till 10 am?
She rolled over and stared at the emply side of the bed.
This was their third night living together, and for the last two, he’d waited for her at breakfast every morning.

Comelia [Why didn’t you wake me up?]
These messages shocked everyone in the room.
However, Marcus acted as if nothing was out of the ordinary picked up his phone and typed out a couple of lines,

The ‘charm a girl‘ part referred to the way he kissed in the video. Marcus got it. To avoid distractions, he set his
phone to silent and got down to business
But as he exited the group chat, he accidentally tapped on a video Briana had sent last night.
Simultaneously, a video of a couple passionately kissing appeared on the big screen in the conference room. Their
kiss was long and intense, as if they couldn’t bear to
part.
The screen was so large that they could even see the man gently biting the woman’s lower lip during the kiss.
Anyone in the room could tell that the couple in the video were Marcus and his assistant, Cornelia.
