Cornelia wasn't sure whether Natalia intentionally let her see it or not, but she definitely caught a glimpse of it.
Natalia excitedly grabbed Cornelia, "Cornelia, are you shopping alone? Wanna team up?"
Cornelia looked down at Natalia's hand gripping her arm, paused, then subtly pulled away, "Ms. Reese, I can only afford to shop from the first to fifth floor."
Natalia, seemingly oblivious to Cornelia's aloofness, grabbed her arm again, "My brother just wired me some money, so we could shop from the sixth to ninth floor together. If you see anything you like, I can buy it for you."
Cameron thought she was really dating Marcus now, so he wired her a big sum of money today, hoping she could dress up and not embarrass herself in front of Marcus.
Cornelia said, "No need."
Natalia said, "Then let's shop from the first to fifth floor together."
Cornelia said, "I won't help you chase after President Hartley, so you don't need to butter me up."
Natalia said, "Cornelia, I can't live without Marcus. Would you rather see me die?"
Cornelia pulled her arm free, took two steps back and kept her distance from Natalia, "No one can't live without someone else. If you're determined to make your own life miserable, that's your business."
Natalia blinked, tears welling up in her eyes, making her look pitiful, "Cornelia, it's because you're the only one who can help me."
Cornelia coldly said, "The only one who can save you is yourself. Don't pin your hopes on others, especially someone you're not even close with."
Seeing her serious expression, Cornelia thought for a moment, then asked, "I want to ask you something, and you have to answer me."
Natalia said, "Ask away."
Cornelia asked, "Have you hook up with Marcus?"
Natalia was about to shake her head, but then remembering Zavier's words, she firmly nodded, "Cornelia, I... you know, my dream since childhood was to marry Marc. The night before last, I finally had the chance. He wanted me. Why would I refuse him?"
Cornelia didn’t say anything. She didn't even understand why she asked Natalia. She saw it with her own eyes, yet she doubted what she saw, hoping to get a denial from Natalia.
But this answer disappointed her!
