Chapter 340
Marcus was the driver again, with Comelia nding shotgun. He dide) say where they were going but Cornelia had to ask “President Hartley are we dealing with the aftermath of the bomb attack?
“Hmm” Marcus nodded driving attentively and navigating Cornelia through street after street
He was focused on diving and didn’t speak Cornelia didn’t know what to say to him, so the just looked out the endow at the falling snow
The snow had been fathing hearty for a couple of hours. The trees and tools along the streets were all covered in a thick layer of snow making the city look like a fairytale castle it was dreamy
“Do you know? Marcus suddenly asked his voce low and intoxicating like fine wine
Cornelia nodded softly. “I do”
Even though she was aware of their relationship sometimes she couldn’t help but be drawn in by his charming voice. She wished her husband Jeremy had a wace like that, it would be perfect
Just then, Marcus phone rang inis cars Bluetooth was connected to his phone, so Cornelia could clearly hear what the other person was saying “President Hartley, we’ve taken care of things here. The report will be sent to you shorthy no need for you and Ms Stewart to make this trip”
The voice was unfamiliar to Cornelia None of her recent colleagues in Paris had that voice, but she didnt pay much attention to it.
“Got it” Marcus replied and hung up, then turned to Cornelia. “They’ve sorted it out. It seems like our trip was for nothing”
The common reaction to being told not to work overtime while on the way to work would be like Marcus, I’ve already packed and left the house and now you’re telling me not to work? Are you messing with me?
But on second thought, it was not a bad thing
Comelia was so excited she forgot to hide her emotions, “Let’s go home then. I still have time to call Bri and go see the snow”
“We’re not close to home (1) be late by the time we get back Marcus hesitated for a moment Seeing Cornelias disappointment he said, “I know a great observation deck nearby where you can get a full view of the snow at Paris If you really want to see, I can take you”
Cornelia thought she wouldnt get to see the snow tonight, but then Marcus suddenly offered to take her. She jumped at the opportunity. “Yes! Thank you
After agreeing. Cornelia realized that going to see the snow with him would not be appropriate, but it was too late to back out She had to brace herself and go with him
