Chapter 376
Briana picked up a glass and stated. Tm not much of a drinker, but this stuff we’re having tonight is my brother’s hidden stash. This wine is so rare, you can’t even buy it on the market. It’s all bought at auctions for a high price, every bottle we drink is one less in the world Id feel quilty if I didn’t drink this expensive wine
Ben chimed in. “Ive been with President Hartley for ten years, but we’ve always been buried in work This is the first time were sitting down together, having dinner, watching a show, and sipping on President Hartley’s fine wine”
“Here’s to President Hartley and Cornelia Thank you. President Hartley, for this wonderful venue, and thank you, Cornelia, for the feast,” Dr. Dawson raised his glass. Ayden and his mom were always by Marcus side no matter where he went. If Marcus was busy working on New Year’s, they couldn’t celebrate. But the silver lining was they were always together
Cornelia quickly stood up. “The credit cant all go to me. This dinner was prepared by all of us” And she clinked glasses with everyone
After finishing her drink she said. “You guys go ahead and eat, Im going to video call my grandma”
On the video call, her grandma asked “Nelly, have you finished all your work?”
“All done” Cornelia rotated her phone Marcus didn’t want to be on camera, so she avoided him. ‘Grandma, kook I’m having dinner with my colleagues and watching a show” When Cornelia’s camera pointed to Briana, she waved to the grandina, “Hello, Grandma! Don’t worry, well take good care of Cornelia”
Thank you! Thank you! I’m relieved knowing Nelly isn’t alone during the holidays Cornelia’s Grandma greeted everyone but Marcus
Her grandma seemed satisfied, “Nelly, dont forget to call Jay You two have been living apart for so long, you should call each other more often”
“I know, grandma ” Cornelia had been busy with work recently. She moved in with Marcus after hearing that Jeremy was also busy, and had only contacted Jeremy once sinte
She hadn’t contacted him in the past few days, and Jeremy hadn’t reached out either. She thought he was busy, so she was waiting for him to text her when he was free. But she hadn’t heard from him
Before dinner, she texted Jeremy, but hadn’t heard back yet.
As the saying goes, if a guy truly cares about you, no matter how busy he is, he’ll make time to call or text you if he doesn’t even have time for a call, it’s very likely he doesn’t value your enough
Cornelia didn’t see herself as a clingy girl. She thought it was okay for both of them to be busy, but since they decided to spend their lives together, communication via phone became crucial when they were apart.
As she was pondering, a WhatsApp notification popped up. She opened it and saw a message from Jeremy, a $10,000 transfer with a note saying, “Happy New Year, Cornelia!”
