Then, a woman in nothing but a slip dress appeared on the big screen. Due to the angle of the camera, the
woman’s face didn’t show up on the screen, only parts below her collarbone were visible. Just as everyone wanted
to see what the woman looked like, the screen suddenly went black
Colleague A asked in surprise, ‘Is that President Hartley’s wife?”
Colleague D replied, “Who else could it be if not President Hartley’s wife? Would he bring other women home?
Colleague A said, “His wife really has a great body! No wonder he likes her.”
Colleague B said, “Her voice is also very gentle. It’s soothing to listen to.”
Colleague C said, “He really cares about her, and he turned off the camera before we could see her face.”

wife in front of me like I’m not here?”
The colleagues asked, “Aren’t you curious about President Hartley’s wife?”
Ben answered, “I’ve met his wife, I don’t have anything to be curious about”
The colleagues asked curiously, “You’ve met his wife? Can you tell us what she looks like? Does her appearance
match her voice?”
Ben replied, “If you guys are eager to know, you can ask President Hartley yourselves.”
The colleagues said, “You’re such a buzzkill!”
If they dared to ask President Hartley, they wouldn’t have asked Ben.

Cornelia shook her head, but she couldn’t control her emotions, and buried her head in his chest. Her sudden move
made Marcus stop what he was doing. “What’s wrong?*
Cornelia said, “I just want you to hold me.”
Her initiative, her passion, all made Marcus very happy. He stretched out his arms, holding her soft and sweet body
tightly in his embrace, he said, “Does it hurt a lot? I’m sorry, I was naive and rushed this time, but I’ll try my best to

Cornelia blushed shyly, her face turning bright red. She even buried her head in his chest, not daring to look up.
Marcus held her tight, smelling her unique scent, “My darling…”
