Chapter 63 

Cornelia smiled at her, Ms. Hartley, good evening

Briana enthusiastically grabbed Cornelia’s hand, We’re gonna play a role playing game. Marcus, Cornelia, wanna join?” 

You guys go ahead I dont wanna be a party pooperCornelia just wanted to find a place to chill and think about how to deal with Courtney 

Marcus flatout refused. Not interested” 

Alright, well go play then.Briana dragged a stiff Natalia away, Natalia, why are your hands so cold?” 

Natala said nothing 

Cold? She almost lost that hand

Cornelia and Marcus were the only ones left in a relatively quiet corner

President Hartley, thank you!He said she didn’t have to be afraid of anyone, nor the Reese family. Today, he showed her with his actions that she could believe every word he said 

Why not join the game?Marcusdeep and sexy voice rang in Cornelia’s ears as his tall figure sat beside her

He was close to her, separated by only about two fists width. She could smell the faint fragrance of his cologne. Cornelia felt a bit nervous and subconsciously moved to the side 

Marcus noticed her little movement and thought about how Natalia threatened her and she had to put on a brave face today Feeling slightly displeased, Marcus said, Is there anything you want to tell me?” 

Cornelia wanted to but didn’t dare

On the way back, she remembered how Billy threatened her, Ms. Stewart, before you tell President Hartley about the madam looking for you, think about your grandma far away in Rosenberg. You have someone protecting you, but she doesn’t.” 

Cornelia shook her head, put on her high heels, and said before she took off, President Hartley, I’ll go check on the guests and see if they’re having fun.” 

As Cornelia got up to leave, Marcus Tm sorrystopped her

Cornelia turned around abruptly, and their gazes met

He stubbed out his cigarette, his voice heavy, I’m sorry about what happened today, but I’ve taken care of it. She won’t bother you again. You can work in peace” 

The fear in Cornelia’s heart, the overwhelming sense of helplessness, was shattered by Marcuswords

Her eyes got teary. She quickly blinked, forcing the tears back

Her eyes and nose were red, but she stubbornly refused to cry in front of him

Marcus thought that if he were her husband, he would hold her tight and tell her not to be afraid as long as he was there

But he was just her boss, and the man who had the right to embrace her would never be him

Thank you!Cornelia quickly hid her emotions and said just one sentence

Hearing her much lighter tone, Marcus felt better too. He once again subconsciously reached out to ruffle her hair but stopped himself

Again, he was about to lose control and forced himself to restrain from inappropriate behavior

Marcus looked up. If you don’t want to participate, I can call a driver to take you back.” 

want to join. The fear and anxiety in her heart disappeared, and Cornelia’s mood brightened after being concealed all day, President Hartley, have you ever played a murder mystery game?” 

No, but we can give it a try. He seemed to have forgotten that he just said he wasn’t interested in the game

They joined a group of people playing the murder mystery game, all close to Marcus, like Cameron and Natalia, Briana, Leonardo, and a few rich kids whose names Cornelia couldn’t 

remember 

Everyone was happy when they heard they would play together, especially Leonardo, Bri said you guys weren’t coming. I was so disappointed.” 

Briana said. The happiest person just now seemed to be you.” 

The event planning staff suggested the murder mystery game. Cornelia knew young people liked to play this game at parties, so she agreed
