Chapter 646
“Ben, what era do you think this is? What’s wrong with having a girlfriend?” Leonardo patted Ben on the shoulder casually, then said seriously. “People these days are pretty open–minded. Many hit it off the first time they meet. For everyone’s safety and to prevent any ‘oopsie daisies, condoms are a must have unless you don’t want to be a responsible man”
Leonardo’s thing was that he was straight as an arrow He could say whatever he wanted, no matter who was listening, without feeling embarrassed. The ones feeling awkward were usually others.
After getting a nudge from Leonardo, Ben suddenly got it. If some things were too embarrassing for his boss to ask, it was his job to get the answers, “Leonardo, which brand is good then?”
Leonardo, being the know–it–all he was, replied, “There’s a ton of them out there, as long as it’s safe and meets the standards, it’s good. But if you want the creme de la creme, go for the ultra–thin 001”
Ben pulled out a pen and notebook to jot down everything. “Leonardo, are there specific instructions for use?”
Seeing how serious Ben was, Leonardo was pleased, “Ben, you don’t have to be all formal”
Ben replied. “Better safe than sorry. Leonardo, keep going, the more details the better.”
He didn’t need this info for himself. He just needed to understand and report back to Marcus, so he needed to get everything down.
Comelia quickly cut them off, “Leonardo, weren’t you supposed to ask Marcus something? Why aren’t you asking?”
Leonardo waved her off impatiently. Tll ask later, I m explaining this to Ben first”
He glanced at Cornelia and Marcus, ‘If you guys don’t know, I can explain it to you too. But you guys are married, you should know this stuff, right?”
Cornelia turned red with embarrassment. “You guys keep talking, I’m leaving”
Was this really an appropriate topic for the office? And in front of her and Marcus?
And the kicker was, Marcus didn’t stop them either. She was the odd one out in this scenario.
Back in her office, Cornelia sent a WhatsApp message to Abigail [Abigail, SOS‘]
Abigail replied quickly: [Cornelia, what’s up?]
Cornelia: [Marcus wants to take me out tonight as Jeremy, but I’m still not used to his other persona]

Abigail [Cornelia, since you’ve accepted his double identity, you’ll have to face this sooner or later. No matter if you face it head–on or run away, the problem won’t disappear. So just face it.]
