Chapter 108 Thanks for backing me up, Granny Rebecca! From now on, you just focus on getting better, and don’t worry about Cornelia, Il take good care of her Marcus finally fet a weight lifted off his chest after getting Granny Rebecca’s support. Granny Luisa said. “You can’t let him off the h***k so easily Granny Rebecca chuckled, “It’s not up to us to decide anyway. Let the youngsters handle their own matters. We don’t have many years left, so let’s not worry too much” “Alright, we’ll stay out of it. “Granny Luisa then warned Marcus, “But you, young man, if you ever dare to mistreat Nelly again, I be the first one to come after you.” Don’t worry, nothing like that will happen again.” After saying goodbye to the two old ladies, Marcus hurried back to Riverton. On the way back, Ayden noticed that Marcus looked off, “President Hartley, you don’t look so good. What’s wrong?”
Marcus pressed his stomach and leaned back in his seat, “It’s nothing, just head straight to the airport” Ayden didn’t ask any further but discreetly contacted Dr. Dawson After a night’s rest, Cornelia rushed to the airport early in the morning, as she was flying to the Capital with Marcus to attend the 3033 Global Technology Conference. This conference was crucial for the Hartley Group’s chip research and development sector, and both Marcus and the P&D team took it very seriously What Cornelia didn’t expect was that the usually punctual Marcus almost arrived late, and she only spotted him at the very last moment before boarding ended. Seeing that he looked unwell, she immediately asked a flight attendant for a cup of hot water, President Hartley, you look pale. Please drink a glass of water first.” “Thanks” Marcus took the cup but didn’t drink it. Instead, he just stared at her without saying a word. Feeling self-conscious, Cornelia touched her face, President Hartley, is there something on my face?” “No.” He just wanted to look at her. It shouldn’t be illegal to look at his own wife, right?
“If not, then don’t stare at me.” There was nothing on her face, so why was he staring at her, which made her flustered. “What’s wrong?” Marcus suddenly smiled, “As your boss, can’t I have a look at my little assistant?” Cornelia was speechless. Fine, he was the one who paid her salary after all. If he wanted to look, let him look. It’s not like he could eat her. As she sulked, Marcus’s gentle voice reached her ears again, “You don’t have to be so formal when talking to me from now on.” Cornelia didn’t understand why he suddenly said that. She looked up at him abruptly, and their eyes met once more. His gaze was aggressive, like a beast wanting to devour her. Instinctively, Cornelia moved away from him, “President Hartley… Seeing her frightened expression, Marcus looked away, disappointed, and took a sip of water before closing his eyes and resting in his seat. Cornelia closed her eyes too, planning to catch some sleep on the plane. As she dozed off, she seemed to hear him say, “Just be more casual around me, no need to be so uptight.” “Mhm “Cornelia mumbled softly, agreeing before sinking back into sleep.
