Chapter 1200
Tahlia immediately chimed in, "I'll go with you."
But Marcus interjected, "You stay here."
Cornelia and Tahlia halted.
Cornelia thought Marcus was calling her, but when she turned around, she realized he was talking to Tahlia. A weird feeling arose in Cornelia's heart, making her uncomfortable. But she tried hard to suppress it.
Cornelia pretended to be relaxed while watching Marcus and Tahlia discussing something. Tahlia glanced at Cornelia, then went back to Marcus' side, "President Hartley...
Marcus said, "Give Ben a call, the plan must be confirmed tonight."
"Alright." Tahlia said.
Cornelia realized they were just talking about work; she secretly blamed herself for thinking there was something going on between Marcus and Tahlia.
Cornelia went to the kitchen and asked, "Patricia, is dinner ready?"
"All set.” Patricia said.
"Great, I'll call them for dinner.” Cornelia said.
Cornelia was at the kitchen door again, "Tahlia, dinner's ready. Get Marc to come eat."
Tahlia said, "Thank you!"
Cornelia smiled, then said, "There's a room upstairs. I used to stay there when I came over. Patricia cleans it regularly. How about you stay there for the night?"
Tahlia said, "I'll go with your suggestion"
Patricia seemed somewhat annoyed. How could Cornelia be so naive? Inviting someone for dinner was enough, why did she have to invite her to stay overnight?
Patricia couldn't convince Cornelia, so she could only hope Marcus would get Tahlia to leave on her own, not letting another woman spend the night here. To Patricia's surprise, he also said, "She doesn't need to stay in the room you used to stay in. Let Patricia arrange a new room for her, with all new supplies."
Patricia was frustrated, "Marc.Didn't he realize what he was saying?
