Chapter 568
Comelia asked, “I got a feeling he’s mad at me?”
Dr. Lester replied, “How can that be?”
Comelia was unsure if he would take her advice, but she still wanted to give it a shot. His well being
was the top priority at the moment. “Let me try to talk to him, Cornelia sald
So moved, Dr. Lester grabbed Cornelia’s hand tightly, and exclaimed, “Cornelia, you’re a real lifesaver”
Comelia gently pulled her hand back, “Dr. Lester, you are welcome.”
“Nelly, Nelly” Patricia hurried toward Cornelia, her face full of a gentle smile, “I learned a new recipe,
would you taste it for me tonight?”
Comelia responded with a brilliant smile, “Sure”
Patricia took her hand and led her toward the house. “Come, let’s go inside. Tell me what you’d like to
eat or drink and I’ll whip it up in a jiffy. You can also give me a ring before you come next time. Let me
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtknow what you fancy and I’ll have it ready.”
Dr. Lester wasn’t pleased, “Patricia, don’t just focus on food and drinks. Let Cornelia speak to Marc
first.”
“What happened to Marc?” Patricia was so focused on Cornelia that she didn’t notice Marcus’s unusual
behavior. As soon as she heard that Cornelia was here, she rushed
Over
Dr. Lester said, “Marc’s health is deteriorating and he’s not cooperating with the treatment. If this
continues, his life may be in danger. I hope Cornelia can help talk to him.”
Patricia agreed. “Alright, Nelly, you go speak to Marc first. I’ll prepare some fruit and snacks to bring
up.”
Cornelia felt a bit of pressure, “Patricia, prepare some fruits. I’ll bring it up to him. He wanted me to look
after him for $500 a day I can’t just do nothing, right?”
Patricia was stunned.
$500 a day! What the heck was Marc up to?
Before she found out she was Marcus’s wife, Cornelia would never casually enter his bedroom. To her,
even a close assistant should have certain boundaries, and the boss’s bedroom was a private space.
There should always be a line drawn between men and women.
Carrying a fruit plate in one hand, Cornelia knocked on his door. There was no response from inside.
Cornelia thought he might be asleep and was about to leave when the door suddenly opened from the
inside. Marcus’s tall figure appeared at the doorway, “The door wasn’t locked”
He had just taken a shower, and was not dressed, only wrapped in a pure white bath towel. Cornelia
caught sight of his muscular body.
Honestly, his physique was too perfect that Cornelia was staring, momentarily forgetting to look away.
Memories of what Abigail had said echoed in her ears.
Cornelia blushed, quickly averted her eyes and awkwardly handed him the fruit plate, “President
Hartley, I brought you some fruits.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMarcus didn’t take it and turned back into his room, “Bring it in yourself”
Cornelia had no choice but to follow him into the room.
His bedroom was even larger than she had imagined. The bedroom was divided into several parts, the
entrance more like a leisure reading area with bookshelves, desks, sofas, and tables. Further inside,
there was his wardrobe on one side and his bed on the other.
The entire decoration style was dark, looking very luxurious, but it also gave off a cold and ruthless
vibe, lacking the warmth of human touch.
Cornelia placed the fruit plate on the small table, “I’ve put the fruits on the table. Don’t forget to eat.”
“You’re just here to deliver fruits?” When he came out again, he had put on a set of pure black satin
pajamas, making him look even more noble and elegant.
He was silent, and Cornelia almost forgot her real purpose of coming here, ‘Dr. Lester is very
concerned about your health. You always ignore his advice to rest properly, so he asked me to
persuade you”
Marcus raised an eyebrow slightly. “Do you think I would listen if you persuade me?”
Cornelia answered, “I would not overestimate my position. But I believe, even if you don’t consider for
yourself, you should also think about your wife. Unless you really want her to become a widow at a
young age and remarry another man!”
