Cornelia got spooked by the sudden misunderstanding, and instinctively denied it, "When did I ever say I liked kids?"
Cornelia didn't like kids, and Marcus couldn't care less. He didn't marry her to have kids, "If you don't want them, then just don’t have them."
Actually, he isn't too keen on kids either. He was afraid they'd go through a horrible childhood like his, that would leave an indelible mark.
Zack muttered from the side, "Whether Nelly has kids or not is between her and her husband. It's none of their boss' business, right?"
Marcus ignored him completely, and turned to Cornelia, "Cornelia, ride with me to dinner. I'll have my driver take your car back to your place."
Abigail asked, "What about me?"
Since Marcus brought Leonardo along, then he definitely expected him to be of use at crucial moments. Leonardo chimed in, "Abigail, if you don't mind, how about riding with me?"
Leonardo might not be as good looking as Marcus, but compared to most average joes, he was quite the hunk.
If it wasn't for Marcus being there, Abigail would've hit on him ages ago, "Okay, I guess I can slum it and ride in Mr. Wilson's car."
About half an hour later, they arrived at La Lumière.
As Marcus was looking for a parking spot, Cornelia got a call from Hilary, the head of their company's PR department, "Ms. Stewart, someone took a picture of President Hartley and his wife and posted it online. It's spreading like wildfire. Initially. President Hartley had the PR department announce his marriage, but now with this picture, we're not sure if the woman in the picture is his wife or what President Hartley plans to do about it. I wanted to consult with you first."
Marcus had always been so protective of his wife that even she, his ever-present assistant, had never met her. And yet, someone managed to snap a picture of the two of them?
Her sharp business instincts told Cornelia that there was more to this than met the eye, "What does the picture look like?"
