Chapter 1193
It was already after work hours, and only Marcus and Cornelia were left in the CEO's office. Marcus lifted his hand, gently brushing Cornelia's stray hair behind her ear, and asked, "Have you finished all the resignation procedures?"
Cornelia nodded, "Yes. From now on, you're no longer my boss and won't get to boss me around anymore."
Marcus chuckled, "From now on, I'll listen to you."
"Alright. Let's go out for dinner tonight. I just made a pretty penny, and I want to treat you." Cornelia said, draping her arm around his.
Marcus replied, "Sounds good."
"What do you feel like eating?” Cornelia asked.
"I'm not picky, we can eat whatever you want.” Marcus said.
“Are you sure you're not picky? Have you forgotten that you even choose your water carefully?" Cornelia couldn't believe Marcus would say he was not picky.
Marcus replied, "That was in the past. Now that I'm with you, I find everything delicious."
This made Cornelia feel incredibly sweet. She tiptoed to his eye level, "Me too. Everything tastes fantastic when I'm with you"
Marcus wrapped his arms around Cornelia's waist, lifting her up and pulling her closer, “Cornelia"

"What do you feel like eating?” Cornelia asked.
Cornelia's competitive nature made her unwilling to accept defeat, so she pounced on Marcus. She imitated his motions and kissed him back. After the kiss, she even lifted her head, "Who said I couldn't kiss?"
“Well, you're teachable.” Marcus rubbed his sore lip, his eyes twinkling behind his silver glasses.
"You sneaky man!" Cornelia said. She suddenly realized she had been provoked by him.
Marcus, laughing so hard his chest was shaking, pulled the fuming Cornelia into his arms, "My Cornelia, you're so adorable."
Adorable enough that he wanted to gobble her up.
Adorable enough that he wanted to protect her forever, making her worry-free.
Adorable enough that just looking at her made him feel incredibly happy.
Cornelia said, "I'm done arguing with you. I'm hungry, let's go eat."
"Alright." Marcus replied.
Little did Marcus know, the restaurant Cornelia chose was the one she had booked for him and Mrs. Hartley for a date a year ago when they didn't know each other's identities and she was his assistant.
