Chapter 256
Cornelia fell utterly uncomfortable with his act, “President Hartley. I should have done it myself”
“Did you grow eyes or hands on your head” Marcus released her once he finished applying the ointment. He tidied up at a leisurely pace, looking at her “Are you thinking that I have some kind of intention towards you?”
Comelia did have such suspicions. But when he questioned her so righteously she thought maybe she was overthinking, “I don’t
Every time he approached her she reacted as if he was about to devout her Her behavior irked him greatly, and he wanted to punish her severely. “You dont?” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
He had already pulled her into his arms, it was hard not to over think. But Cornelia dared not admit He had almady said he had no intention towards her if she kept thinking this way she would just be wishful thinking
Comelia thought that the reason why she kept misunderstanding Marcus was that she had never had such intimate contact with any man, including her own husband
Once Jeremy returned to Riverton, she would have more communication with him. She needed to understand how a real couple should interact, then she would be able to judge whether Marcus’s behavior towards he was the normal interaction between a superior and an employee
Seeing her anxious look, Marcus decided to let her off, “It’s my decision, no need to thank mel
Cornelia didn’t intend to thank him, but since he brought it up, she had to say. “Thank you, President Hartley!”
Marcus turned to look out of the car window. “Do you feel uncomfortable when you are alone with me?”
“No Comelia shock her head, even if she did, she couldn’t admit it
Marcus chuckled lightly, turned around and looked at her, “No?”
Being stared at by him, Cornelia couldn’t lie. “A little”
Marcus asked. “Just a little?”
Comelia scratched her head anxiously. “Then how much do you think is appropriate?”
Marcus said, “If you feel uncomfortable with me, maybe this job is not suitable for you*
What did he mean by that? Did he want to fire her?
She needed money right now, and she couldn’t afford to lose this job at this critical moment She said, “President Hartley, I don’t feel uncomfortable with you at work it’s just when we interact privately.”
Marcus cut her off and said, “Comelia, do you know what a secretary is?”
Of course, Cornelia knew She also knew that he was not used to being taken care of, otherwise, she would have to manage even his diet and daily routine.
So, was she overthinking?
After a moment of silence. Marcus called her name, “Cornelia“
He called her name again in a low voice, which scared her, “President Hartley”
Marcus locked at her and smiled slightly. “My wife’s name was also Comelia, just like yours”
