Chapter 1224
Zack was pissed off after hearing all this
“What the hell? This is like conning someone into marriagel Trevor is such a jerk! Next time I see him, I swear I beat the crap out of him. Marcus seems to be the reliable one after all” Zack said
Then something occurred to Zack, “Wait a minute, wasn’t Marcus always following Cornelia around like a puppy? Cornelia, you’ve been busy at the studio recently, but I haven’t seen him around. I haven’t even heard you call him.”
Indeed. Cornelia hadn’t been in touch with Marcus lately. It was as if they never existed in each other’s worlds.
“He’s been busy with work” Cornelia replied.
“Wasn’t he always busy?” Zack questioned.
“Let’s not talk about me Let’s focus on Abby Cornelia didn’t want to mention him.
“My problem is solved I have nothing to do with Trevor anymore.” Abby asserted.
Zack nodded, “Good, that’s the way. If you can pick it up, you should be able to put it down. Don’t get all heartbroken over a guy.”
“Cornelia, answer Zack’s question. Abby turned to her.
“What question?” Cornelia played it cool.
“Why hasn’t Marcus come to pick you up?” Abigail asked.
“I told you, he’s busy” Cornelia said emotionlessly
“Being busy is not an excuse. I’m a man, I understand men better. When a man tells you he’s too busy to even call. Chances are, he’s lost interest in you. If someone truly cares about you, they can always find the time to call, no matter how busy Zack grumbled.
Cornelia knew this all along She just didn’t want to talk about Marcus. Smiling. Cornelia said, “Alright, I’ll keep an eye on him. If he’s got someone else on his mind, I’ll follow Abby’s example and cut him off.”
“I didn’t mean that either. Just don’t let your guard down with President Hartley. No matter how good a guy is, you’ve got to keep an eye on him.” Zack advised, “After all, there are so many temptations out there for him. He could easily get seduced by someone else. So, you need to pay more attention to him.”
Cornelia nodded. “Okay”
“Don’t just brush it off. Think about what I’ve said.” Zack pleaded
“I’ve considered your words, and I’ll act on them. Now, I’m going to accompany Abby home to rest.” Cornelia responded.
“Okay, Cornelia, come with me.” Abby sensed something was off
On the way home, Abby asked Cornelia, “Did you have a fight with President Hartley?”
