Patricia said, “Sure thing.”

Comelia quickly finished a bowl of pasta. She was not very hungry in the morning, so she was already

full.

Marcus noticed that she didn’t touch the rest of her food and asked, “Don’t you like them?”

Comelia said, “No, it’s just that I’m full already.”

Marcus said, ‘Feel free to taste a bit of everything, you don’t have to finish it all.”

Cornelia said, “I don’t want to waste food.”

Marcus was speechless.

The two didn’t say much more, and they headed to the office after breakfast.

Patricia once again enthusiastically saw Comelia off.

”

Cornelia felt that Patricia’s enthusiasm was a bit too much, treating her not as a guest, but as the lady

of the house.

So, when she left Celestial Chateau, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she heard Marcus’s deep voice

asking, “Are you not comfortable staying at my place?”

Indeed, it’s a bit uncomfortable, especially Patricia’s over–enthusiastic hospitality. Cornelia thought to

herself, but didn’t outright say it. If Patricia found out, she would be heartbroken, “President Hartley, I’m

fine.”

Marcus said, “What made you uncomfortable then?”

Faced with Marcus’s intense pressure, Cornelia plucked up her courage and said, “President Hartley,

I’m really okay.”

Marcus raised an eyebrow, “Huh?”

At his expression, Cornelia immediately gave in, “Actually, it’s just because you’re my boss. As an

employee, staying at the boss’s house is definitely not as comfortable as my own place.”

After hearing this, Marcus didn’t say anything. His expression was neutral and Cornelia couldn’t guess

his emotions, so she stopped thinking about it.

Next, Cornelia and Ben were busy day and night working on an Al project with Marcus. By the time the

project was settled, two weeks had passed.

Once the project was approved, it was time to start developing. It required a large investment, had a

long development cycle and was high–risk. Also, the returns wouldn’t come in for a while..

But what the Hartley Group didn’t lack was funding. Marcus had prepared enough when investing in

this field, he wasn’t afraid even if there were no returns for several years.

That day after the meeting, Cornelia was packing up her files. She was planning to leave with Marcus

when a young employee from the smart development department stopped her, blushing and asked,

“Ms. Stewart, could I?”

Marcus stopped, turned around and gave the young employee a cold look. He thought, “Huh, an

overambitious fellow! Cornelia’s heart. only has room for her husband Jeremy, other men don’t stand a

chance.”

That was what he thought, but he couldn’t help but slow his elegant steps.
