He'd only sip drinks that Cornelia picked out for him, and she'd try her best to avoid putting in front of him any foods he didn't like.
During the meal, Cornelia was busy taking care of Marcus. By the time she got a chance to eat, the food was already cold, and her stomach started to feel upset.
Marcus was used to having Cornelia, his assistant, take care of everything for him, so he didn't think anything was wrong with her looking after him tonight.
Hannah angrily pinched Steven hard. It was all this annoying guy's fault. The dinner was supposed to be a treat for her friends, and now it had turned out like this.
Steven grabbed her hand, "What do you guys wanna do after dinner?"
Marcus said, "Whatever."
Hannah looked at Cornelia, "Cornelia, what do you wanna do?"
"I don't wanna..." Just as Cornelia was about to speak, a wave of nausea came from her stomach, and she immediately rushed to the restroom.
Marcus's gaze followed her, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes behind his glasses.
Seeing this, Hannah hurried over, "Cornelia, what's wrong?"
Cornelia said, "I feel a bit nauseous, but I can't throw up."
Hannah asked, "Are you pregnant?"
Cornelia asked, "Pregnant?"
Hannah said, "Yeah, pregnant. I noticed you don't look as good as last month, and you seem to have lost weight. Maybe you're pregnant."
Walking out of the restaurant, a cool breeze hit his face.
In the city of Riverton, even the coldest winter wasn't too cold, but today Marcus felt particularly cold, as if there was a chill lingering in his heart.
This feeling came suddenly and was inexplicable.
There was no denying that when he heard Cornelia might be pregnant, all sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind that even he was afraid of.
However, he knew that this girl who had always been with him, was just his assistant and nothing more.
She was already married; she had her beloved man and her own family.
They would only relate to each other in terms of their respective roles as superior and subordinate, and nothing more beyond that was possible or appropriate.
