Chapter 301

Cometa bobbed her head respectfully, “Yeah, i do the handover after dinner”

Marcus hadn’t seen Cornelia in a while He wanted to chat more with her but every time Comelia talked

to him, she seemed very humble, making it a bit hard for him to start a conversation

Marcus pondered for a moment then said, “Your French is not that great, if you run into trouble at work,

remember to give me a shout”

“Sure thing” Despite Comelia’s French being a bit shaky she was handling her work pretty well

Marcus added. “New Years is coming up fast, we might not be able to go home for it, you need to brace

yourself

Cornelia replied. “President Hartley, no need to worry about me Before taking this job. I prepared

myself for everything

While they were talking. Ben was just standing there silently watching and listening

Lately. Ben had been feeling like a third wheel around Marcus and Comelia. He couldn’t get a word in

edgewise in their conversations

He had been with Marcus for over a decade, and Comelia hadn’t even been with Marcus for a year,

and he couldn’t understand why Marcus seemed to favor Comelia more

Ben felt that this couldn’t go on, or else Cornelia might take his place in Marcus’s heart, and he would

become insignificant to Marcus

To change this Ben decided to join their conversation, but their topics had absolutely nothing to do with

work, so he couldn’t get his two cents in

So he decided to steer the conversation towards work, ‘President Hartley, the selection for the new

factory site is done, we’ve picked three potential locations, after dinner, we can go check them out

together”

Marcus responded coldly. “Let’s just focus on dinner right now no shop talk”

Ben was puzzled, they were always too busy with work to have meals before. During peak work

periods, they would even grab a quick bite in the middle of work.

Since when was it a rule not to talk about work during meals?

But since Marcus had already said it. Ben was left speechless

Ben’s first attempt to join Cornelia and Marcuss conversation ended before it even began

Then, he saw Marcus strike up a conversation with Comelia, but the content made him feel awkward.

“Is this your first time in Paris?”

Comelia nodded. “Yes”

Marcus continued. “Paris has a lot of fun places and great food Once we’re done with work, I can show

you around”

Marcus was actually suggesting to take Cornelia sightseeing”

Ben was stunned to hear this, the President of the Hartley Group was actually offering to take an

assistant out!

What shocked Ben even more was Cornelia’s immediate refusal, “President Hartley, I came to Pans to

work I just want to do a good job, I don’t plan on sightseeing”

Ben cut in “I have plenty of free time coming up, I can go out five been to Paris with President Hartley

many times, the longest time I stayed here was half a year. Cornelia, if you don’t want to bother

President Hartley, I can accompany you Try to avoid going out alone, especially at night. The crime rate

here is still pretty high, so be extra careful”

Cornelia responded politely “if I have time I take you up on that”

During the conversation, Ben felt a chill, but he didn’t pay much attention to it

When the food was served, Ben was very proactive He first served Marcus a bowl of soup, then served

one for Cornelia, “Comelia, the weather in Paris is chilly and damp, have a bowl of soup first, to warm

up‘

Comelia smiled as she took the bowl, “Thanks, Ben
