Chapter 1064
Comelia said, “Let’s cut the chit–chat. The meeting is about to start”
In a panic, Ben blurted out, “Oh shoot, my meeting materials are not ready yet. Cornelio, President Hartley
definitely won’t be mad at you, could you cover for me in the meeting…”
Before Ben could finish, Comelia flatly refused, “No way!”
As Ben scrambled to prepare his matenals, he complained to Cornelia, “You’re so nice to Yolanda, why can’t you be
a little nicer to me? We’ve been working together for so long, there’s gotta be some feelings there, right?”
Comelia chuckled, “Feelings? Between you and me?”

Suddenly, Cornelia exclaimed, “President Hartley, when did you get here?”
“President Hartley, ah, no, Cornelia and I don’t have a personal relationship.” Ben began to apologize before even
seeing President Hartley. But when he looked up, he found Marcus wasn’t there.
Realizing he’d been fooled, he glared at Cornelia, “Comelia, do you believe that I could punch you?”
Comelia replied. “I don’t believe you!”
Ben retorted, “You don’t believe me? I tell you, even with President Hartley protecting you, I could still lay a punch
on you. I could hit you so hard you wouldn’t even recognize yourself.”
Cornelia said again, “President Hartley, you’re really here this time!”
Ben said, “If I’m fooled again, I’m not Ben anymore.”
“What would you prefer to be called then if not Ben? And who do you want to punch? Marcus‘ deep voice echoed
from the office entrance.
Ben didn’t dare to look back, “President Hartley”
Usually, Marcus would just call them, why would he personally come to their office today? And he heard him
“punching Cornelia.
Ben felt his career might be over. Or maybe, his life was coming to an end.
Cornelia asked, “President Hartley, what brings you here?”
Marcus‘ gaze shifted to Cornelia, instantly becoming much softer, “Can you arrange for Yolanda to personally guide
Tahlia, to ensure she quickly becomes familiar
with the work?”

Cornelia felt a bit uneasy, but as Marcus‘ assistant, she didn’t ask further, just replied, “Yes, I’ll arrange it right
away.”
After Cornelia left, Ben cautiously looked at Marcus, “President Hartley, I was just joking with Cornelia, I didn’t really
punch her
Marcus replied, “Do I look like I can’t tell you’re joking?”
Ben was at a loss for words. If Marcus knew he was joking, why did he still look at him with such intimidating eyes?

Marcus was silent, just staring at Ben, giving him the chills.
