Chapter 228

This little chick held a grudge, eh? Just kidded around and called her a silly goose and she got mad.

He chuckled and said, “If not silly goose, what should I call you? Little smarty pants?”

Comelia was speechless.

Marcus continued, “You’re very bright, you need to believe in your abilities. Hartley Group doesn’t keep

slackers. You’ve climbed up the ladder all by yourself, which says a lot about how capable you are.

Don’t ever let anyone, including me, belittle you, alright?”

“I get you.” What he said made sense. If she didn’t trust her abilities, she wouldn’t have had the guts to

ask those questions.

But his response was another pleasant surprise. He was never stingy with his praise for his

subordinates. Recognizing their capabilities is something only a real leader can do.

This was different from some bosses who spent their time tearing their subordinates down, claiming

that no one else would want them if they left the company.

After a half–hour drive, they arrived at the restaurant.

Coincidentally, they ran into an acquaintance, Leonardo Wilson, in the underground parking lot of the

restaurant.

Leonardo was with a lady with heavy makeup. Her makeup was so elaborate that it was impossible to

guess her real age.

Seeing them together so late for dinner, Leonardo’s curiosity was piqued. “‘Marc, Cornelia, you two….

The woman with him was wide–eyed when she saw Marcus. “Mr. Wilson, can you introduce me to your

friend?”

Leonardo pinched her cheek and said, “Darling, he’s out of your league; stop daydreaming.”

She pouted, “I just want to know more about your friends.”

Leonardo was ruthless. “You’ve already snagged me, and now you want to meet my friends? You can

leave; I’ve got company for dinner tonight.”

She tried to get closer to him, but Leonardo pushed her away. “Didn’t you hear me? I said leave.”

Seeing that he was serious, she had no choice but to leave, but not before throwing a last glance at

Marcus.

Once she was gone, Leonardo lowered his guard and asked, “Marc, Cornelia, are you two having a

secret date behind your spouses‘ backs?*

Cornelia laughed, saying, “Mr. Wilson, not everyone is as free–spirited as you, changing dating

partners as frequently as you change your socks. Do you think everyone is like you?”

Leonardo refused to believe that nothing was going on between them and pressed on, “So you guys

can go on dates, but I can’t even mention it?”

Marcus gave him a cold look and asked, “Do you still want to go out?”

Marcus’s greatest strength was his ability to shut someone down in a single sentence.

Leonardo immediately changed his tune: “I was just joking; you guys don’t have to take it so seriously.”

“A joke is only funny when both parties find it amusing. You’re being disrespectful. We four agreed to

have dinner together, you can’t just assume they have a secret affair because you saw them first.”

Abigail arrived a bit later, and right after she got out of the car, she heard Leonardo teasing Cornelia.

She might seem careless usually. but she would defend Cornelia without any fear once she was

bullied.

Leonardo asked, “Where did this little Missy come from?”

Abigail retorted/If you call me little Missy again, you’ll regret
