Chapter 88
Steven slapped Marcus on the shoulder, “You’re gonna say she’s married again, right? So what if she’s married? Cant married people get divorced? Give her husband some money, ask him take the money and go as far away as possible, then she’s all yours‘
Marcus bent down to put out his cigarette, giving Steven a cold look, “She’s not someone you can just joke about
Steven laughed. “Are you really protecting her like that?”
Marcus said, “Protecting her? I just don’t like people making jokes about women.”
Steven said, “Alright, whatever you say. I won’t mention her anymore, let’s go eat
Marcus was a stubborn man. He couldn’t stand anyone saying a bad word about his assistant but he wouldn’t admit it.
Maybe it was not that he didn’t want to admit it, but he had never had any experience in love, so he didn’t know how to love someone, nor did he know what it felt like
Hannah was a popular actress, and wherever she went, she caused quite a stir. So this time, she chose the privacy–focused Epicurean Eatery for their dinner.
Epicurean Eatery was members–only. To become a member, one had to meet certain conditions. After several rounds of screening, only the very wealthy or influential could become members, so diners no longer had to worry about being photographed.
Hannah was very enthusiastic, giving Cornelia a big hug as soon as they met, “Cornelia, I’ve missed you!”
Cornelia was more introverted and not very good at socializing Compared to Hannah’s enthusiasm, she was more reserved, “Thank you for inviting me, Mrs. Dixon”
We’re friends, no need to call me Mrs. Dixon, just call me Hannah.” Hannah pulled Cornelia to sit down and looked at her carefully, “I feel like you’ve lost a lot of weight since last month, an your complexion isn’t as good as before. Are you overworking yourself?”
Tm fine.” Cornelia didn’t want to talk about her personal life and quickly changed the subject, “I saw in the news that you’re in Riverton to promote your new show. I hope it’d be a hit!”
“Thank you!” Hannah replied, “Take a look at the menu and order whatever you like. My treat tonight” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Tve already ordered Steven walked in, went straight to Hannah and sat down, “Ms. Stewart, do you mind if I join you for dinner?”
“President Dixon, how could I refuse?” Cornelia didn’t know Steven would be there, or else she might not have agreed to come to dinner, as no one wanted to be the third wheel.
Hannah nudged him, “I already told you not to follow, get out of here!”
Steven put his arm around her waist, “I really didn’t come for you. Marcus and I happened to choose this restaurant too. Since we’re all here, let’s eat together.”
Hearing that Marcus was there, Cornelia instinctively looked back at the door and saw Marcus, dressed in a black coat, walking in gracefully.
He was holding his phone, apparently just having finished a call.
Cornelia immediately stood up. “President Hartley, good evening!”
Marcus glanced at her, “You’re here too?”
Steven couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
This guy really knew how to play it cool..
Cornelia honestly replied, “Hannah invited me to dinner.”
“Well, eat more then.” Marcus took off his coat, and Cornelia immediately took it and hung it on the nearby coat rack. Even after work, she didn’t forget her role as an assistant.
It wasn’t until Marcus sat down that Cornelia returned to her seat.
When the waiter came over to add tea for Marcus, Cornelia stopped him and said, “Just give him a glass of mineral water.”
