Marcus handed her a napkin, helping her wipe some food off her mouth, “I didn’t know.”

“Why did you pick me over the other two then?” Cornelia asked.

Marcus replied, “Maybe I have a special feeling for you, or your name just sounds familiar.”

This answer didn’t satisfy Cornelia, “Isn’t it because of my abilities?”

Marcus felt a pang of sympathy, “The fact that you stood before me for selection already proves your ability. The

job only needs one person, and I thought you were the best fit, so I picked you. The past year, you’ve proved with

your performance that I was right in choosing you.”

“Did you find me suitable because I’m pretty?” Cornelia asked.

“Having an attractive appearance is also a kind of ability,” Marcus said.

“I’m trying to have a serious conversation with you. Don’t joke around,” Cornelia chided.

“Has anyone questioned your work ability?” Marcus asked.

“I’m worried that once our relationship is out, everyone will think I got this job because of my connection with you,”

Cornelia confessed.

Marcus sensed her unease. He moved closer, gently patting her back trying to comfort her, “When we’re not yet

strong enough, we’ll hear all sorts of doubts every day. But that’s okay, we need to learn to grow amidst doubts, to

become stronger. Then, you’ll be the one setting the rules, everyone will respect you.”

When he took over the Hartley Group, he faced a lot of doubts too. Most people thought he was too young,

incapable of shouldering the huge responsibility of the Hartley Group. In the end, he proved with his abilities that he

could not only shoulder the responsibility, but also did a great job.

“But not everyone can be as strong and outstanding as you,” Cornelia said.

Marcus felt thrilled hearing Cornelia’s praise.

He chuckled, “We don’t need to compare ourselves with others; we just need to compare ourselves with our past

selves. As long as today’s self has made a little progress compared to yesterday’s self, that’s all that matters.”

Hearing this, Cornelia understood, “You’re right.”

Marcus said, “You’re the best girl I’ve ever met.”

Hearing his praise, Cornelia blushed, “Let’s get to breakfast!”

The meeting started promptly at nine in the morning.

All the attendees were the same people who had seen the video of Marcus and Cornelia kissing last time, so they all

looked at Marcus and Cornelia the same way Ben did. They wanted to get a good look at them, but didn’t dare to

stare directly at Marcus, so they kept glancing at Cornelia from time to time.

Cornelia felt the strange atmosphere and figured it was the aftermath of the photo incident. Marcus deleted the

photos as quickly as he could, but he couldn’t erase people’s memories. If everyone saw her as a home wrecker,

she wouldn’t be surprised.
