Chapter 28
Zack: “I’m spending the long night all alone, dude.”
Abigail sent a photo of a man: “Nelly, Zack, what do you think of this guy who’s into me?”
Abigail had always had many suitors, but after all these years, she’s never really been with anyone
She often said, “I guess I’ve watched too many dramas and movies I always dream of a young,
handsome CEO falling for me, so none of the real life guys can satisfy me.”
Cornelia took a closer look at the photo. The man was wearing a thick pair of black-framed glasses,
looking like a nerdy, honest guy- definitely not Abigail’s type Cornelia knew that Abigail would prefer
someone like Marcus, looking like he just walked out of a movie.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven though Marcus also wore glasses, his silver-rimmed ones don’t make him look dull at all. Instead,
he looked like a debonair business hunk from a book….
Cornelia didn’t know why she suddenly compared Marcus to others. She quickly droped the thought
and looked at the man in the photo again. “Abby, are you planning to accept his advances? What does
he do for a living?”
Abigail “He’s a typical programmer, working in the software development department at The Hartley
Group. He’s a bit introverted and has no bad habits. Although he’s far from my ideal boyfriend image,
he treats me well, and I’ve been watching him for a while I think I’ll give it a try.”
Almost simultaneously. Cornelia and Zack texted: “Don’t rush to say yes. Bring him to meet us first.”
This girl was impulsive and easily moved by others. Maybe she’s just touched and that’s why she
agreed to date this man,
Abigail “Of course, I’ll introduce him to you guys first. If you don’t think he’s right, how can I let him be
my boyfriend?”
Zack: “Sigh, my two beautiful flowers I’ve been protecting since we were kids are being plucked by
others. How will I live alone in the future?”
He even added a sad expression.
Cornelia laughed: “We’ll buy houses in the same neighborhood in the future. After we start our own
families, we can still hang out often. Don’t cry!” Before the three friends finished chatting, Cornelia’s
phone received a new message. She picked it up and saw it’s from Marcus: “Still awake?”
How did he know she’s still awake?

Cornelia quickly replied, “President Hartley, what can I do for you?”
No response from Marcus, but the doorbell rang
A late-night visit from a male boss to a female employee wasn’t very elegant.
Cornelia sent another message to Marcus, “President Hartley, if you have anything to say, just call me.
No need to knock on my door.”
Marcus replied with a “?”
Cornelia felt awkward.
Could it be that the person knocking on her door isn’t Marcus?
Cornelia quickly put on her coat and open the door to find Helena standing there.
Helena looked distraught, her appearance suggesting recent tears. Her eyes were puffy, “Cornelia, I
shouldn’t have spoken to you like that last night. I’m sorry Could you please ask President Hartley not
to expel me?”
