Chapter 400
Zavier was getting more and more pis s ed off, “You seem to trust Marcus a lot. Have you got a crush
on him or something?”
He was always nice to Skyler, but Skyler always managed to dodge him. Comelia, who didn’t even
know she was Marcus’s wife, placed a high level of trust in Marcus.
He just couldn’t figure that out.
Comelia responded simply, “Marcus is my boss. If I don’t trust him, should I trust you instead?”
Zavier retorted, “You’re dodging the question.”
Comelia confessed openly, “I do like him! Who wouldn’t like a guy as fantastic as him? But it’s just

“Are you sure you don’t have any romantic feelings for Marcus? Zavier wished that what Comelia was
saying was true. In their circle of friends, Steven and Lucas had very happy marriages. If Marcus also
had a happy marriage, he would be the only one left alone, and that would make him feel pretty c rap.
Comelia glared at him, “You think I’d meddle in someone else’s relationship like you?”
Despite being called out by Comelia, Zavier didn’t care, ‘Since you don’t have feelings for Marcus, why
not choose me? If you choose me, I can give you whatever you want. You wouldn’t need to chase
around after Marcus trying to make money anymore.”
Comelia put down her fork, “I’m done eating.”
Zavier was surprised, “Why all of a sudden stop eating?”
Comelia said, “Your words made me lose my appetite.
Zavier asked with a smile, ‘Which words made you lose your appetite?”
Comelia checked the time, “You invited me to dinner and then kept talking like this. It’s clear you’re not
genuinely asking me out. If you have something to say, just spit it out. Also, my flight is about to take
off. If I miss it because of you, you’ll have to pay for my change fee.”
‘Wasn’t I clear enough? I think you’re gorgeous, and I want to pursue your Zavier pulled out a bank
card, “There’s five million in this card. As long as you agree to be my girlfriend, all this money is yours,
enough to change your flight many times.”
“Who needs your money? Comelia glanced at the card he handed over, got up and left immediately.
But as she reached the door, she was stopped by Zavier’s bodyguard.

your meal.”
Meaning if she didn’t finish her meal, he wouldn’t let her leave.
Comelia gritted her teeth in anger, “I need to get back to work. President Hartley is waiting for me. If I
don’t go back right away, he’ll definitely come looking for me. I don’t think you want to ruin your
friendship with him because of me.”
Zavier chuckled, “You’re so sure Marcus would fall out with me over you?”
Comelia replied assertively, Tm absolutely certain.”
Zavier retorted, “You’re just his assistant. Anyone can do your job. Why are you so sure Marcus would
protect you?”
In the past, Comelia wasn’t sure. But after working with Marcus for so long, he had repeatedly shown
that he would support her. So Comelia was very confident that Marcus wouldn’t let anyone bully her.
She replied with a smile, “Because I’m his assistant, as long as I work at the Hartley Group, he will
protect me. If you don’t believe me, f can call him right now in front of you”
