Chapter 775
Marcus said, “Granny, if you have something to say, you can just tell me.”
Granny Rebecca asked, “How do you plan to deal with Clair?”
Marcus answered, “Granny, you seem to be taking quite an interest in this person.”
Granny Rebecca said, “I once knew someone named Clair. Do you have a picture of this Clair? If you do, may I see it? I want to check if she’s the one I knew.”
“Wait a second. Marcus then shot a text to Leonardo Wilson: [Need a pic of Clair.]
It was past four in the morning. Leonardo was likely fast asleep and wouldn’t see the WhatsApp message. Regardless, Marcus dialed him up without a second thought. However, a woman’s voice answered the call.
The woman purred, “Who the hell is calling at this ungodly hour? Don’t they know it’s rude to call this late?”
Leonardo, who seemed to have just dozed off, was a bit groggy. Seeing the call came from Marcus, he snapped awake, “Marc, what’s eating you calling me this late?”
Marcus said, “Send me a picture of Clair.”
Leonardo exclaimed in surprise, “Holy cow! You called me this late just to ask for Clair’s pic? Don’t tell me you’re falling for her?”
Marcus retorted, “You looking for a punch in the face?”
Leonardo laughed, “Alright, alright, I’m on it. I think someone posted her pic on Instagram today”
In no time, Leonardo found Clair’s picture and sent it over to Marcus, “What do you need her pic for? She didn’t piss off your Cornelia, did she?”
Marcus was pleased with the way Leonardo referred to Cornelia, “You do know Cornelia’s mine, right?”
Leonardo replied, “If Cornelia isn’t yours, whose could she be? You must be thrilled having such a great assistant. Cornelia always has your back, won’t let anyone badmouth you.”
Any compliment about Cornelia would make Marcus happy. “When we’ve got some downtime, my wife and I will treat you to dinner”
Leonardo responded, “Really? You’re finally willing to bring your wife out to meet us. I was beginning to think that your wife was too ugly for you to show her off.”
Marcus said, “My wife is the most beautiful and adorable girl in the world.”
