Chapter 49


    Chapter 49


    Cornells didn’t understand why Marcus had to exin himself to her, feeling a little nervous, “President


    Hartley, this is your business, no need to tell me


    Marcus was also clueless but didnt want her to misunderstand


    To break the ice. Cornelia quickly changed the subject to work stuff, President Hartley, the n is set. I


    need to go check out the site”


    Marcus said. “Ive already handed that over to Ben. Come with me to a ceter”


    Cornelia knew Marcus had no work today. She was unsure of where they were going but agreed


    anyway.


    They went to the garage, where more than a dozen luxury cars parked.


    Marcus didn’t call a driver. Cornelia thought he wanted her to drive, so she headed straight for the


    Bentley he usually rode in.


    But Marcus walked towards another dark gray sports car, “We’ll take this one today, and I’ll drive.”


    Cornelia didn’t dare let the boss drive himself, and besides, the sports car only had two seats. She


    would have to sit in the passenger seat if he drove the car.


    She once heard that women shouldn’t casually sit in a guy’s passenger seat. A spouse or girlfriend


    usually sat there


    Considering this, she was even more reluctant to let him drive, “President Hartley, wouldn’t it be


    inappropriate for you to drive?”


    Marcus said, “I will be dealing with personal matters today. I need your help. But don’t worry. I’ll pay


    you triple the sry.”


    Cornelia heard “triple sry,” and her eyes lit up. She immediately sat in the passenger seat.


    “President Hartley, just tell me what you need me to do, and I’ll get it done.”


    Seeing her so excited, Marcus cracked a slight smile.


    Not long after the car left the vi area, he drove onto the highway.


    The car sped along the road, both fast and steady. Cornelia was amazed, “President Hartley, I’ve been


    working with you for half a year, and this is the first time I’ve seen you drive. I di expect you to be such


    a good driver.”


    He said, “I used to love racing. I was a race car driver.”


    “You were a race car driver?” Cornelia didn’t know that.


    “If it weren’t for my family needing me, maybe I’d be a top race car driver right now.” He chuckled, and


    Cornelia saw the bitterness in his smile.


    So, he had his dreams too, but they were less important than the family business.


    Cornelia believed that someone like him, who excels at everything, would be a top racer if he


    pursued it.


    About an hourter, they arrived at Opulent Oasis.


    The car passed through winding mountain roads, and stopped at a roadblock. When the police saw


    Marcus‘ car, they let them through.


    After the roadblock, they drove for another ten minutes, and suddenly a stunning scene of blooming


    flowers appeared before them.


    Behind the sea of flowers were pavilions and towers shrouded in mist, like a fairnd.


    They parked the car, a young and handsome valet took it away, and an attendant led them into the


    courtyard.


    They passed the front yard, then walked along a cobblestone path. The backyard had apletely


    different vibe


    There were flowers, rockeries, and fountains


    The sound of men and womenughing and ying cards came from behind a folding screen. It was a


    lively scene.


    Walking around the screen, they saw three couples sitting around card tables.


    These three gorgeous couples seemed like prominent people because of their distinctive demeanors.


    Cornelia quickly searched her memory for their information, but couldn’t recall any of them.

    They looked at her and Marcus and said, “Marcus, you finally made it.”
