After a while, Marcus finally spoke, “Why don’t you have a girlfriend?”

The boss, who never meddles with his employees private affairs, suddenly showed interest in Ben’s.

Ben smelled a rat, “President Hartley. I’m a bachelor 1 like being single ”

Marcus stared at Ben, as if he was ready to rip him apart if he said the wrong thing, “Why do you want

President Hartley is always fair and impartial, not only warning him, but Cornelia couldn’t escape either.

“Cornelia, President Hartley wants to see you” Ben knew Cornelia was capable, but she was still a girl,

and he worried she might be intimidated by the president’s aura, so he warned her, “President Hartley

Ben replied, “You’ll understand when you get there”
