Chapter 451
Marcus couldn’t read Cornelia’s mind due to his position, so he texted her as Jeremy from his personal phone:
[How’s work treating you today, Cornelia?]
After sending the message, he felt like he was throwing stones into the sea- no response. Marcus waited for a while, but Cornelia didn’t reply. Comelia usually didn’t carry her personal phone during work hours, so she had no idea she received a message from Jeremy
Robert needed to get to the airport asap. The signing couldn’t be delayed any longer
After hanging in his office for a while, Marcus didn’t come out. Cornelia had no choice but to knock on his door again, “President Hartley, you…”
Before she could finish, Marcus was already walking towards her, “Let’s go.”
He walked out of the office, striding towards the elevator Cornelia followed closely, stepping into the CEO’s private elevator with him.
Once the elevator door closed, Marcus said out of the blue, “Cornelia, do you know how exceptional you are?”
Cornelia was taken aback, looking up at her boss. His deep and sexy voice echoed, “You’re the most exceptional woman I’ve ever known”
She had worked by Marcus’s side for a year, and he never held back his compliments when she did a good job. But this was the first time she heard such high praise from
him
He had met countless women, many of whom were undoubtedly stronger and more exceptional than her.
She thought, maybe he wanted to encourage her, to work better without being affected by others. So, she had to respond, “Thank you for your compliments, President Hartley! I’ll work even harder and treat the Hartley Group as my home.”
“Less ass–kissing, more sincerity” Marcus couldn’t help but pinch Cornelia’s bun.
His move was too quick. By the time Cornelia noticed, he had already pulled his hand back. She couldn’t really say anything
Marcus added, “In the future, just do whatever you want. Don’t care about what others think. The Hartley Group and I are always there for you.”
“Thank you, President Hartley!” This time, he said the Hartley Group and he were always there for her, not just when she worked at the Hartley Group
Cornelia caught the difference between the two sentences, but she didn’t overthink it, nor dare to.
Signing was the final step before the collaboration. Even if both parties had agreed on everything, this step couldn’t be taken lightly.
