Chapter 144
“Mr. Rivera, President Hartley, you guys must have some important stuff to chat about, so we won’t
bother you” The thought of staying in the hot spring with Marcus made Cornelia uneasy, especially after
seeing his naked body
The man was casually lying by the hot spring pool with his arms spread out, showing off his well toned
and attractive muscles.
It looked like he was opening his arms to welcome his loved one
Cornelia accidentally caught a glimpse of his muscles, and they seemed to be etched in her mind,
unforgettable.
She secretly admired him wondering how disciplined he must be to maintain such an impressive

her shivering in a bathrobe, unwilling to get into the pool, he suddenly got angry. “You guys, get in how
His voice was deep and authoritative, and Cornelia was startled. Her body moved faster than her brain,
and she quickly took off her bathrobe and jumped into the hot spring, heading for the farthest corner
from him.
The water in the hot spring pool was warm, instantly making her body feel cozy, but she couldn’t feel
happy about it:
She felt the hot spring water wasnt as fragrant as before, the snowy scenery not as beautiful, and her

boss, who invited her to bathe together. This was probably a feeling that all workers could relate to
Cornelia felt like she was working overtime in a different way.

Zavier looked at Skyler Blue, honey, come here”
Normally, Skyler Blue would obediently walk over to him, but today she didn’t feel like listening to him.
Skyler Blue got out of the pool and sat with Cornelia in the farthest corner from the two men, “Cornelia,

“It’s okay, it’s not your fault” Cornelia had heard about Skyler Blue’s situation and saw the sadness in
her eyes. She wanted to help her, “Skyler Blue, can I tell you a story?”
Skyler Blue nodded. “Go ahead.”

Live for oneself?
Skyler Blue silently repeated these simple words, which she craved the most.
These words were easy to say, but for her, they were hard to achieve.
She smiled, “Cornelia, I’m glad I met a friend like you”
Cornelia. “Me too.”
The two of them whispered to each other, completely ignoring the two men nearby..
Marcus looked at Zavier discontentedly, 1 want to spend some time alone with my wife. Take your wife
and leave first”
Zavier tutted, “Marcus, I don’t expect you to act like Steven, but at least act like Lucas. You want to talk
to your wife alone, and you need my help? Why don’t you ask me to help you chase her directly?
Marcus, Tm giving you five seconds”
