When Marcus saw a long message from Cornelia criticizing him on his phone, he couldn't get mad. Instead, he had to gently console her: [Next time you can take a picture of your boss and post it online.]
Cornelia replied: [It won't be that easy to make money next time, unless I can get a close-up of Marcus or a loving shot of him and his wife.]
Marcus was stunned for a few seconds when he saw this message from Cornelia. This girl seemed serious, but what on earth was she thinking about all day?
Cornelia was like a machine gun, quickly typing and sending her next message: [Wait till the day I go to his house. I'll secretly install a camera in his bathroom, take a video of him naked, or even live-stream it. I'm sure I can make a lot of money.]
Marcus's face darkened. She was actually thinking of live-streaming him naked to netizens.
Cornelia continued texting: [Ha-ha, Jeremy. Don't you think I have great business sense? Once I make money, you won't have to work hard anymore. I can support you.]
She even wanted to support him!
Marcus's face gradually relaxed, and he replied: [Sounds like a plan. You better not be pulling my leg.]
Cornelia instantly regretted it, but words once spoken are like spilled water - she couldn't take them back: [Okay, I'll take care of making money in the future. Your job is to stay handsome.]
She would take care of making money, and he would just stay handsome!
Marcus thought about it. As long as she was happy, it wasn't a bad idea: [Sure!]
Suddenly, Cornelia felt immense pressure. Before, it was just her and her grandma, who had her own retirement pension and barely used Cornelia's money. Her grandma even secretly saved some money for her.
At the dinner table, Zack was still mad about last night's incident. He just kept his head down and ate his food, not saying a word to Cornelia.
Cornelia put some food in his plate and brought it to him, chuckling, "Honey, are you planning to ignore me forever?"
Abigail said, "I think he's upset."
Zack gave them a stern look, "This matter is serious, and you two fools are still laughing. If one day you're fooled by someone, I bet you'll still be stupidly clueless about what happened."
Cornelia said, "Zack, I know you mean well. But we live in a society where many things are out of our control. I'm Marcus's assistant, and I get paid twice as much as a regular secretary. As long as Marcus doesn't ask me to do anything illegal or unethical, or make any shady deals. I have no reason to refuse him. Unless I don't want this job anymore."
