Chapter 863
Cornelia worked hard to ignore the odd glances thrown her way, throwing herself wholeheartedly into her work.
Even after several days off, her teamwork with Marcus
remained a seamless dance.
Seeing how well they worked together, Ben thought they were a perfect match. Not only did he think their marriage
was a match made in heaven, but their working chemistry was also top-notch.
In the past, he also had to go through a series of selections to finally have the opportunity to get close to Marcus.
When he first started working closely with Marcus, he struggled to keep up with Marcus’ work pace, even making a

finally get the hang of it.
As for Comelia, from day one of being assigned to work with Marcus, she was outstanding. Throughout the year,
he’d never seen her make a single mistake. Who would ve thought, such a stellar girl, turned out to be President
Hartley’s wife!
Lost in his thoughts, Marcus’ private phone suddenly rang.
Marcus picked up the phone, hearing Granny Luisa’s frantic voice, “Mare, you gotta bring Nelly home right away,
Granny Rebecca is on her deathbed”
Despite having faced death many times, this news still hit Marcus hard. He barely believed his own ears, “What did
you say?”
Granny Luisa’s sobbing voice came through again, “You gotta bring Nelly back asap, otherwise she might not get to
see her granny one last time.”
“Postpone the meeting!” Marcus decided on the spot, hung up the phone, and grabbed Cornelia, “Cornelia, we need
to go right now!”
After they left, their colleagues were confused.
Colleague A asked, “What’s up with President Hartley?”
Colleague B said, “President Hartley has been acting weird lately. I heard from someone who attended the meeting
yesterday that he disappeared halfway through it.”
Colleague C speculated, “President Hartley took Cornelia away in the middle of a meeting, could his needs be so
urgent that he couldn’t wait for the meeting to end?”

Usually, Ben was approachable and nobody was afraid of him, but after all, he worked closely with Marcus, so he
represented Marcus. Once he was stern, everyone else fell silent.
Cornelia was dragged out of the meeting room by Marcus, bumping into a colleague on the way. She tried to shake
off his hand, but she couldn’t, “President Hartley, we’re at the office. You can’t drag me around like this. It’s
inappropriate if people see.”
Marcus ignored her and pulled her directly into the elevator, going down to the fourth basement floor. He then
approached her car and pushed her into the passenger seat
He got into the driver seat, started the car, and zoomed off.
Comelia sensed something was up, “President Hartley, did something happen?”
He didn’t respond, his face extremely somber.
