Marian stood five meters behind Jamie. Marian's demeanor now was completely different from when Cordelia was still in Millstone.
People around glanced at her, but they were all high-profile intellectuals at a conference. No one cared about such petty matters. They quickly turned their attention back to networking and making money.
Marian was dressed in a light gray business suit, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. She appeared capable and aloof, seeming rather unapproachable.
"Hey, Marian. Cut it out!" Jamie said to her.
Marian completely ignored Jamie and walked up to Cordelia.
"Long time no see, Ms. Haselwood."
"Hello." Cordelia responded.
"Ms. Haselwood, why are you hugging my man as soon as you meet?" Marian asked.
"Your man?" Cordelia vaguely remembered that the two of them were not a couple.
Jamie, standing behind Marian, shook his head.
