Chapter 21

Cornelia walked up to Marcus and greeted him respectfully. “Morning. Marcus!”

Marcus was enjoying his breakfast gracefully and didn’t respond to her greeting

Cornela was used to his indifference and didn’t take it to heart. She stopped a few meters away from him and said, “Marcus, there’s something I need to make clear to you”

Marcus finally looked up at her after finishing his breakfast, “What’s up?”

Cornelia stood straight with her hands hanging by her sides, ‘Marcus, my feelings for you are just respect from a subordinate to a superior. I have no other thoughts about you”

He wasn’t a fool and he could naturally tell if she had other thoughts about him.

Marcus couldn’t help but want to laugh, “You think I would have other thoughts about you, a married woman?”

Cornelia hadn’t thought so, “Marcus, don’t make fun of me. I know my place. I’m saying this because I don’t want people around you to misunderstand me and affect my

“Cornelia ”

His voice was really nice, and her name sounded even more poetic coming from his mouth.

Yet, he used his mellifluous voice to utter something heartless. “It’s due to this disagreeable name of yours that I could never entertain further thoughts about you.”

Cornelia. “…”

Last time he said her name was unlucky, she thought he was drunk. This time he was sober.

How on earth did her name offend him?

“Morning, Marcus!”

Ben and Helenas arrival eased the tension between them

Helena nodded awkwardly to Cornelia as a greeting

Ben approached Cornelia, “Cornelia, how’s your recovery coming along?”

“I had a good night’s rest, and I feel great now,” Cornelia replied with a smile, then went with him to get some breakfast

Marcus, “Humph…”

In front of him, Cornelia always maintained the reserve of a married woman, keeping a certain distance when talking to him, but with other men, she had no problem chatting away

After breakfast.

Cornelia and the others followed Marcus to welcome the visiting leader today.

Cornelia had never seen such a high-ranking leader and was a bit nervous.

But her nervousness disappeared when she saw that leader talked to Marcus so respectfully.

Helena was in charge of this project, so she personally led them on a tour

There was a beautiful green lake next to the hotel, and the sunlight on the lake was very nice

In the distance, there was a snow-capped mountain that made people feel refreshed.

Helena introduced the situation of the scenic area to Marcus, and Cornelia and Ben were responsible for taking notes.

After the basic introduction, everyone took a sightseeing bus to visit the entire area.

The senior leader said to Marcus, “Marcus, the scenery in this area is beautiful, but due to the inconvenient transportation, it’s difficult for people inside to leave the mountains and for outsiders to enter. This has always been a key area for us to focus on. Your Hartley Group’s investment in building roads and developing this scenic area has really helped us a lot

Marcus responded, “Helping more people become prosperous is what our company should do.”
