Chapter 589

She leaned on Marcus‘ shoulder, too scared to even lift her head, pleading, “President Hartley. I beg you, get me

outta here”

Snakes were Comelia’s worst nightmare, no doubt about it. She saw one when she was a kid and had nightmares

for days Scared out of her wits, she didn’t give a hoot about acting ladylike She just clung to Marcus like a lifeline,

only letting go once they were out of that hellhole

Even though Cornelia didn’t want to let go, Marcus held her even tighter. He liked the fact that Cornelia needed

him. He lifted her up gently, so she could lean better against him, “Hold on tight, don’t fall off. I’ll get you out of

here”

Marcus carried Cornelia a good distance before she dared to peek back at where they’d come from No sign of that

creepy snake, she breathed a sigh of relief

Only then did she realize she was holding onto Marcus tight. She could smell the faint minty fragrance on him, as

well as feel his body heat.

Her heart pounded, felt like it was about to jump out of her throat.

Cornelia hastily slid down from Marcus, “President Hartley, 1

She was so scared earlier, she hadn’t realized how unladylike she’d acted.

Marcus was feeling all sorts of emotions, but he was good at hiding his feelings. He adjusted his glasses and

pretended to be cool, asking. “What happened?”

Pretending nothing happened, Comelia tried to act normal too. But her face was as red as a beet.

To ease Cornelia’s embarrassment, Marcus said, “I have the gardener tidy up the garden tomorrow, and this won’t

happen again”

Cornelia tried to change the subject, “President Hartley what would you like to eat tomorrow? I’ll get up early to

make you breakfast.”

She was earning 500 bucks a day, she had to earn her keep and not just take the money and run.

Marcus played along. “Breakfast is already taken care of, and you don’t have to get up early. The holiday is about to

end. You won’t have the chance to sleep in soon.”

Cornelia said, “Just doing lunch and dinner, and I’m taking 500 bucks off you a day I feel a bit guilty”

Marcus chuckled. “Sometimes, a person’s worth isn’t about how much they do, but about their own worth. I don’t

want to eat their food. I want to eat yours, that shows you’re important to me You’re so important to me, even

5,000 a day wouldn’t be too much.”

Cornelia asked, “Am I that important to you?”

“Yes” Marcus answered firmly, and it wasn’t just about her cooking skills. It was because she was his wife, and that

made her very important to him.

Cornelia didn’t dare to go any further on this topic. She changed the subject again, “President Hartley. Can I ask,

how much does Finn charge you for a meal?”

Marcus answered. “Take a guess.”

Cornelia thought for a moment. Even with her cooking skills, Marcus was willing to pay 500 a day With Finn’s superb

cooking skills, his price for a meal should at least be double

She took a bold guess, “A thousand?”

Thinking she could hire a world–renowned chef like Finn with a grand, this girl sure lacked imagination,

Marcus said, “Guess again.”

Cornelia asked, “Is it more or less?”

Marcus replied, “Less.”

Cornelia plucked up the courage and guessed an extremely unlikely number, “Five thousand?”

Marcus said. “You can guess a little higher”

Cornelia asked, ‘Does it cost ten thousand for a meal?”

Marcus held up his index and middle finger.

Cornella shrieked, “Twenty thousand?!!

Marcus nodded, “Yep”

Cornelia exclaimed, “You’re such a spendthrift!”

Twenty grand!

That was more than what a lot of people made in a year, and he just spent it like that. Earning twenty grand for

cooking a meal, that was way easier than her job as an

assistant
