Comelia looked at his expression, quietly saying. “A couple of mornings ago, Mr. Rivera called me to

pick you up from Riverside Terrace Club And when I got there, I saw you in bed with Natalia.”

She left her words hanging in the air, expecting Marcus to explain. But instead he blurted out, “So you

think I’m messing around? Or that I might like Natalia?” Cornelia softly said, “You know how they say

men often let their physical desires dictate their actions, regardless of whether they have feelings for

the woman.”

Marcus had a dark look on his face, “So you don’t trust me?”

Comelia replied, “It’s not about trust, it’s just.”

She had seen it with her own eyes. She just wanted to hear his explanation, but he didn’t say anything.

How was she supposed to trust him?

She was feeling confused, unsure about how to steer the conversation to her advantage.

Marcus then asked, “What time did you get to Riverside Terrace Club that morning?”

Cornelia clearly remembered the time, “6.30 in the morning”

Marcus explained, “The previous night, Zavier asked me to drink. He tried to get me drunk, even spiked

my drink. When I was out of it, Natalia showed up”

Cornelia listened quietly, waiting for him to continue.

He went on, “Nothing happened between Natalia and me. I left Riverside Terrace Club at exactly 6:30.

You carne right after I left. There’s no way you could have seen me in bed with Natalia If I’m guessing

right, this is all Zavier’s doing to mess with your head. You shouldn’t believe it.”

Comelia admitted, “I’ve suspected as much.”

She knew that what she saw might not be the truth. Zavier was like a madman now, willing to do

anything to get his hands on Skyler.

Marcus asked. “Do you trust me?”

Cornelia nodded, “Of course I trust you.”

Hearing her say she trusted him and watching her obediently nod her head, Marcus gave a slight smile.

His eyes behind his glasses held a hint of humor, ‘What about the third point?”

Cornelia said, “The third and most important point is, I have never had romantic feelings for you. I have

nothing but respect for you as my boss.”

Marcus was speechless.

That was indeed the most important point, but it also wasn’t. Because she was already his wife!

Cornelia continued, “And President Hartley, please don’t ask me hypothetical questions in the future. I

don’t want any rumors between us, or people thinking I got promoted because of you.”

“Fine, no more hypothetical questions in the future.” Marcus said. As for rumors, that was even less

likely. Once he came clean about their relationship, he would announce to the world that she was his

wife, Marcus‘ wife.

The conversation ended there, and an awkward silence settled between them.

Cornelia awkwardly averted her gaze, picked up a book from the shelf that she hadn’t finished reading

last time, and sat down at the desk to read.

She loved reading. Once she got into a book, she would become engrossed and less aware of the

world around her.

She wasn’t sure how much time had passed when she heard Marcus‘ deep, pleasant voice again,

“Cornelia…”

“Hmm?” Cornelia looked up at the sound of his voice, meeting Marcus‘ captivating and complex gaze.

His eyes seemed to hold a multitude of emotions she couldn’t understand, making her feel uneasy,

“Marcus, is there a problem?”

He replied, “If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.”

Cornelia responded, “Thank you, President Hartley. I’d like to try and understand these things on my

own.”
