Cornelia's work phone is always on, and she'll pick up right away whenever Marcus calls, tonight being no exception. "President Hartley, hello!"
She was always so polite and courteous with her first line when answering the phone, making it impossible for him to detect her mood from her tone.
He coughed twice, and immediately heard Cornelia's worried voice, "President Hartley, do you have a cold?"
This was Assistant Cornelia caring for her boss Marcus, not Wife Cornelia caring for her husband Jeremy. Marcus didn’t really need this kind of care.
"It's going to snow soon. Remember to close the windows." Finally, he said this line and hung up.
He took out his personal phone, and the three people in the group chat reminded him one by one, "Marc, say something."
Marcus typed a few words, "I want to walk the future path with her."
Lucas replied, "Yeah, a man should be good to his wife."
Steven, "Let me know if you need any help."
Zavier, "After the 3033 Tech Conference, Skyler Blue and I will treat you and your wife to dinner."
Marcus, "Okay."
For the next few days, Cornelia and the Hartley Group team were fully devoted to the tech conference, working from morning till night, even meal times were tight.
Not only did Cornelia have to focus on work, but she also had to keep an eye on Marcus's health.
Thankfully, Marcus was very obedient. Whatever she said, he followed without causing her any trouble.
"Because President Hartley and his wife resolved their issues, and he loves his wife so much, of course, he should announce it. These days, when he didn’t eat on time, I brought up his wife to talk to him, and he really was obedient."
"So President Hartley's wife has such an influence? I'll learn from that next time!"
Cornelia was also very curious, "Ben, do you know what she looks like?"
"I've never seen her, how would I know what she looks like?"
Cornelia was surprised, "You've been with President Hartley for so many years, and even you haven't seen his wife?"
"Actually, you don't know, President Hartley's marriage is not..." Halfway through, he realized he had said something he shouldn't have.
He quickly changed the subject, "Let's not discuss this anymore. With the snow so heavy now and unable to go outside, how should we spend our afternoon?"
