Chapter 373

Cornelia had been working with Marcus for quite some time, but this was the first time she’d seen him

in this state. His eyes were vacant, like he’d lost his soul. She quessed something must have

happened with his mom As to what it was, it wasn’t her place to ask

Since joining the Hartley Group, shed rarely heard coworkers chat about the Hartley family’s private

affairs Rumors did circulate that Marcus had clawed his way to the top of the Hartley Group with

ruthless tactics, hence the talk about his coldness towards his family

Working with Marcus for so long, she hadn’t paid much attention to his personal life. Only today did she

find out that his and his sister’s relationship with their mother, Courtney, was bad. Bad was an

understatement They were like of and water with Courtney There must have been some deep–seated

reasons why they despised their mother

Cornelia couldn’t help but feel sorry for Marcus in his current state President Hartley, are you okay?”

When Marcus came back to his senses and looked at her, his sexy thin lips opened slightly It took him

a while to say, “Cornelia”

His deep voice calling her name always made Cornelia feel like it carried a wealth of unspeakable

emotions.

Maybe he wasn’t calling her, but his wife, Cornelia

Cornelia wanted to comfort him but didn’t know how. She decided to be his listener, offering him a

chance to vent “President Hartley, if there’s anything you want to say, you can tell me. I

promise not to tell anyone”

“My relationship with Courtney is terrible. I just told her to get lost, never to show her face to me again

Do you think I’m a heartless person?” Marcus pushed his glasses up slightly, his gaze never leaving

Cornelia’s face He cared about her opinion.

“No” Cornelia answered without any hesitation, sounding very certain “My grandma told me never to

judge without knowing the whole story. I don’t know what happened between you and your mother. I

have no right to judge you, nor to demand that you be a filial son. People may say you’re heartless, but

that’s not the person I know.”

In her freshman year of college, she had a firsthand experience of being verbally abused by people

who didn’t know her truth. Even though the real story wasn’t what they heard, those ignorant people

took out all their negative emotions on her. They insulted her with the most vicious words.

Marcus gave a bitter smile, unlike his usual carefree demeanor What if the person you see is just a

facade, and I am really like what people say?”

Cornelia replied, “I’m with you every day Don’t I know you better than those outsiders?”

Cornelia admitted that Marcus’s mood could sometimes be hard to read Like these past few days, he

always looked displeased at her, but he never really mistreated her. From what she had learned about

him in this time, he was a boss that she could totally trust

Her simple words were like the best medicine in the world, instantly healing the pain in Marcus‘ heart.

He gently touched her hair. “Cornelia, thank you.”

This time, Cornelia didn’t back away President Hartley, I didn’t really do anything to help, you don’t

need to thank me”

Marcus smiled “Your words made me feel warm and comforted.”

His gentle tone made Cornelia feel a little flustered. She quickly changed the subject. President Hartley,

I still have one more dish to prepare. The kitchen is smelly You better go out.”

Marcus replied, “Tll stay with you”

Cornelia hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Alright, hand me the sauce, please”

Marcus complied. “Sure”
