Chapter 825
The second she heard that, Cornelia felt so embarrassed she couldn’t bear to listen anymore. She blushed and
hurriedly left.
Seeing her red–faced exit, Granny Rebecca and Patricia asked with concern. “Nelly, what did you hear? Why’s your
face so rep
“Just… tell Mare I’m waiting for him outside when he comes out Cornelia quickly walked away after barely finishing
her sentence, knowing they’d interrogate her if she had
slayed.
Comelia waited forever in the garage until Marcus finally showed up. She didn’t know what he and Granny had
chitchatted about and felt too awkward to ask. She kept quiet after getting into the car

Cornelia didn’t want to ask. She knew he’d spill the beans if she did, and she wasn’t keen on dealing with that kind
of awkwardness. “Granny Luisa wanted a private chat with you for a reason. I’m considerate. I don’t want to put
you in a tight spot
Marcus just chuckled and didn’t say more. They arrived safely at the location Hannah had sent
Marcus parked on the side of the road. “We’re staying at Blueshell Mansion tonight. Give me a ring after your
meeting. I’ll come pick you up.”
Cornelia replied. “The Mansion is just a short walk from here, and it’d be quicker to walk than drive. No need to pick
me up. I can walk back. You should get some rest”
Marcus. “Can’t I walk over to get you?”
Comelia. “That works too.”
After getting out of the car and closing the door, she headed towards the building. Much to her surprise, she
bumped into Leonardo, whom she hadn’t seen for a while. “Cornelia, what a coincidence, didn’t expect to run into
you here.”
“Yeah, small world: Cornelia replied, feeling a bit uneasy, and instinctively looking back.
Following her gaze, Leonardo noticed the familiar luxury car. “President Hartley is really good to you, even letting
his driver chauffeur you around.”
Cornelia relaxed hearing that. “Yes. I gotta go if there’s nothing else.”
Leonardo, “This place isn’t cheap, who are you meeting?”
Cornelia, “A friend.”
Leonardo, “Which friend?”
Cornelia, “Are you implying that my friends aren’t posh enough to afford this place?”

were married. It’s been a year and I still haven’t met your husband, so I’m curious.”
Cornelia. “I’ll introduce him to you when the time’s right.”
Leonardo, “Don’t trick me I really wanna see the man who won you over.”
Cornelia repeated what she had just said, “If there’s nothing else, I need to go in.”
Leonardo, “Go ahead”
Leonardo watched her go into the building, he turned to leave but the parked car nearby honked. He looked over
and saw the car window slowly roll down. Clearly, someone wanted to talk to him Leonardo approached the car,
upon closer inspection, he recognized the driver was Marcus, “Marc, didn’t expect you here. You’re driving for your
assistant now?”
Marcus replied. “Is there a problem?”
Leonardo said, “Not at all, if you’re okay with it.”
Marcus suggested, “Fancy a drink?”
“Sure! Where to?” Leonardo opened the car door and quickly jumped into the passenger seat, “I’m honored to be
chauffeured by the big–shot CEO of the Hartley Group”
