“Check out your car first. If there’s no problem, we’ll get the paperwork done and the ride’s all yours,”
Mr. Evans proposed again.
“Well, I only have the right to use it. I can’t really say it’s mine,” Cornelia knew that the whip the Hartley
Group provided for its executives was more of a company loaner, the minute you walked out the door,
the company snatched back the keys
Whatever rights, as long as you’re the one behind the wheel that’s all that matters,” Mr. Evans replied.
Fair enough.” Cornelia responded
After giving the car the once–over, they sorted out the paperwork. Only then did Cornelia realize that
the car was registered under her own name, not the Hartley Group’s.
“Hold on a sec. Mr. Evans Why is the ride registered under my name?” This wasn’t supposed to be the
case

in a set of wheels, but maybe even a new crib. This kinda stuff happens all the time, no biggie, Mr
Evans explained
Hearing it was pretty much par for the course, Cornelia didn’t push it.
With the car keys in her hand, Cornelia made a beeline for the boss’s office President Hartley, thank
you so much!”
Marcus, buried in paperwork, didn’t even look up “What’re you thanking me for?”
“The car‘
Finally lifting his eyes from the pile of documents, Marcus looked at her. “I don’t need to bother with
such trifles. If anyone deserves thanks, it’s yourself for being a good worker”
His tone was as aloof as when she’d first started working for him. This made Cornelia very happy. It felt
like a normal boss employee relationship.
“Right, Cornelia responded, then left the office with a smile
Watching her retreating figure, Marcus wondered if she realized he was the one who gave her the car?
Pulling out his personal phone, he sent a text to Cornelia as Jeremy, “I sent you a little gift. It’s already
at your company. Let me know what you think.”
Another gift!
Getting presents always made her feel indebted
She was willing to give Jeremy a second chance because he seemed like a good guy, not because she
wanted his money.
“C’mon, Jeremy. Are you trying to buy me off with your money?” Cornelia texted back
“Could I even buy you off with money?” Jeremy replied.
“No”
“Well, we’re legally married. We didn’t sign any prenup, so half of my property is technically yours.
What’s wrong with giving you a few small gifts?”
“Our relationship isn’t exactly like a normal married couple’s.”

“But we could be if you wanted us to.”
Cornelia didn’t know how to respond to that.
Back at her desk, there was a fancy gift box waiting for her.
That’s a gift from your hubby,” Ben said.
Cornelia looked at the card. Sure enough, it was from Jeremy
Before she could even open the box, Jeremy texted her again. “Heard that your heel gets injured
easily. I’ve sent you a pair of shoes and some ointment. Hope you like it.”
Inside the box were two tubes of ointment and a pair of black chunky heel leather shoes.
Like the necklace she’d received the day before, the shoes were brandless, but the leather felt soft and
delicate.
Since it was just a couple of tubes of ointment and a pair of shoes, it probably didn’t cost too much. So,
Cornelia decided to accept this gift.
She tried on the shoes. They were just the right size and super comfortable.
