Comelia asked, “President Hanley, anything else you wanna spill?*

It had been a while since Comelia formally addressed him as President Hartley, Marcus found it a bit odd, “I got

Marcus asked, “Do I look like I’m gonna hurt you?”

Comelia replied, “At work, it’s better to keep a distance.”

Marcus said, “Ride home with me after work.”

Comelia agreed, “Okay.”

Marcus again said, “Come closer.”

Cornelia asked with confusion. “What are you up to?”

“Mrs. Hartley, allow me to be at your service tonight.” A handsome man approached. But to Cornelia, no guy could

hold a candle to Marcus.

Marcus pulled Comelia behind him, glaring coldly at the two, “Outta my way!”

“President Hartley, we’re just trying to treat you well, why so hostile?” The woman raised her hand, lightly patting

towards Marcus‘ chest.
