“We’re friends, no need for thanks Ben placed more food into Comelia’s plate once again. Its just been
a few short weeks, but you already seem to have lost weight You must eat more and replenish your
nutrition” Cornelia looked at the plate filled with food in front of her and quickly protested. Ben you don’t
need to give me more to eat I may not be able to finish all of this”
“You can finish this amount of food? Ben added a bowl of soup for Comelia Cornelia, these days, with
you not being by our side, do you know how much we miss you?”
Before Comelia could respond. Ben continued. “When we used to work together we might not have
realized your importance But now that you’re not with us, we deeply feet your significance”
Being recognized for one’s work abilities bringing happiness to anyone, and Comelia was no exception
“en you’re getting better and better at complimenting people. But if you want to praise me, just say it
directly

“I really am not just casually complimenting you Not only do i miss you, but President Hartley also
misses you greatly. He has mistaken me for you on more than one occasion when it’s just the two of
us” Only when they were alone together did Marcus mistakenly call Ben by Cornelia’s name making
Ben feel like Cornelia might be replacing his position in Marcus’s heart
“Absolutely Ben seemed even more excited discussing this. He’s been by Marcus’s side for ten years
and never once had Marcus called him by the wrong name. The few times he did, it was always
Comela
The first time it happened they were in Paris Everyone was exhausted from working late into the night
when Marcus suddenly said, “Cornelia, you’ve been working hard, go take a break”
Ben awkwardly chuckled, “President Hartie, it s me not Comelia You put her on logistics”
Marcus didn’t say anything else at the time, only giving him a cold, piercing look that was rather
frightening
Maybe it was because he was too tired, but he called him Cornelia again the next morning
He was busy following Marcus around, not even having time for breakfast when Marcus said, “Comelia,
you go and have breakfast first.”
Ben responded “President Hartley, it’s me not Comelia‘
Marcus glanced at him with displeasure but didn’t mention anything about letting him go eat breakfast
first.
At the mention of Marcus, Cornelia looked up and unexpectedly caught a glimpse of his complex gaze.
He was staring at her his gaze unwavering, as if he had been observing her for a long time
His gaze was intense, stirring a slight sense of unease within Cornelia. She lowered her head and
continued to sip her soup and eat her meal.
Ben glanced up and encountered Marcus’s piercing gaze and his somber expression. “President
Hartley are you feeling unwell?”
He felt uneasy!

her. Yet, Ben had been constantly engaging with Comelia in conversation How could Marcus be happy
about
In front of Ben, Marcus took away the bowl in front of Comelia, replaced it with another one selected
some dishes that Cornelia liked, and handed them to her “Here, have this”
Comelia remained silent.
Ben was taken aback
Shock and surprise filled Ben’s mind. His boss, Marcus, not only wanted to be Comelia’s tour guide but
also personally chose dishes for her He had worked by Marcus’s side for ten years and had never
received such treatment. Why was it that Cornelia, who had only been with him for less than a year,
could enjoy such special treatment?
As Ben remained in shock, he watched Marcus extend his hand and gently wipe away a trace of soup
from Cornelia’s lips.
