NovelEnglishChapter 360
Comelia understood her grandma’s feelings, but she didn’t want the mood to get too heavy “Gran I still
want to chat with Granny Luisa for a bit”
Granny Luisa, who was next to Granny Rebecca, came into frame as soon as she heard Cornelia call
her name. She purposely put on a stern face. “Nelly, so you finally remembered met
Cornelia responded sweetly, Gran, Ive always had you in my mind, I didnt just remember you”
Granny Luisa replied. Tm just pulling your leg But seriously, both you and your sibling couldn’t spend
Christmas with us because of work this year Next year, you guys better be here”
Cornelia nodded earnestly. Yep, I make sure of it next year”
Alter some more chitchat with both grandmas, she ended the video call.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe still had to deal with some work stuff with Marcus today If things went smoothly, their work could
be complete by the afternoon, and they could knock off early
After packing her stuff and grabbing her laptop bag, Cornelia headed downstairs. She was already up
pretty early, but Marcus was up earlier. He was already in the living room, checking
out the day’s news
It wasn’t just today that Marcus was up earlier than her. Every single day, Marcus got up earlier. The
only time she was up earlier than him was the day after he hurt his hand. That day, he gave her a sour
face all day long
Cornelia walked up to him, “Good morning. President Hartley!”
Marcus nodded a bit, which was his way of responding
These days, if it wasn’t about work, he wouldn’t say a word to her. She couldn’t blame him. After all, he
was her boss
Marcus didn’t pay her any mind and walked towards the dining room
Cornelia quickly followed him
Breakfast was a feast. There were sandwiches, milk, and more. Cornelia was spoilt for choice and she
always had a hearty breakfast
These days, Briana was always out early and back late. Cornelia hadn’t seen her, so it was just Marcus
and her for breakfast. At the table, they both just focused on eating, without acknowledging each other
After breakfast they headed to the company
As Marcus’s assistant, having an international driving license was a basic requirement, so Cornelia was
the one driving lately.
On the way, Marcus took a couple of phone calls and then buried his head in some documents.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCornelia glanced at Marcus in the rear–view mirror and thought, mistakenly, that he was looking at her.
When she looked up at him, he had already looked away
Marcus being colder towards Cornelia actually made her work easier. She didn’t have to worry about
his excessive concern, which could be quite bothersome
After about half an hour drive, they reached the company
Cornelia parked the car and quickly got out She ran to the back seat on the right and opened the door
for Marcus
He stepped out, not even sparing her a glance.
Ben was already at the company’s entrance waiting. As soon as he saw Marcus, he walked up and
started reporting on their work situation. Cornelia followed behind Marcus, taking
meticulous notes
Her note–taking and shorthand skills were phenomenal. If not, she wouldn’t have been able to handle
such high–intensity work.
