    The two amused Cornelia, and sheughed, saying. “You guys keep mindlessly praising me like this.


    Are you trying to stroke my ego?”


    Abigail replied, “You’re so awesome. Cant wepliment you a bil?”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Zack chimed in, “Exactly!”


    Cornelia suddenly became serious, Why does being with someone of the opposite gender always lead


    to such negative assumptions? Zack and I have been living together for over 20 years, has there ever


    been any love between us?”


    Abigail replied. “Can Zack even be considered a man?”


    Cornelia responded, Definitely not.”


    Zack said, Ladies, please watch your words!”


    Cornelia thought for a moment, “Why do you guys think something might be happening between me


    and my boss?”


    Abigail asked, is there?”


    Cornelia red at her, ‘Don’t joke around. I’m seriously asking you.”


    Abigail answered. Because I like the plot of powerful CEOs falling in love. Imagine a handsome and


    wealthy CEO falling for a beautiful young secretary, dating and working together. Just thinking about it


    feels so wonderful!”


    Cornelia red at her again, “You’re in dreand, yikes! Zack, your turn.”


    Zack said, Tm afraid if I say it, you’ll get angry”


    Cornelia said, “Just say it. I promise I won’t get mad”


    Zack said, “I’m also interested in the scenario Abby mentioned”


    Cornelia was speechless.


    She wanted to get angry.


    Although she didn’t get a helpful exnation from them, Cornelia still found many reasons people


    might think she and Marcus were a couple from their jokes.


    First, because of work, she was the closest female to Marcus.


    Second, she was pretty attractive, and when a good–looking man and woman are together, people


    tend to overthink and assume.


    She would do the same. She always took a second look when she saw a beautiful young couple on the


    street.


    After breakfast, Zach and Abigail went to the studio.


    As soon as Zack drove away, two burly men jumped out of a parked business car and blocked Cornelia


    in the middle, “Ms. Stewart, thedy wants to see you. Pleasee with us.” They were aggressive,


    not asking for her permission but trying to take her away by force.


    Cornelia quietly reached for her phone in her bag, ready to call for help, “Who is thisdy you’re talking


    about?”


    “Ms. Stewart, you’ll know when you get there.” The burly man saw Cornelia’s actions, snatched her


    bag, and put her in the car before she could react.


    The two burly men sat on either side of Cornelia, and she struggled but couldn’t break free, “Who are


    you guys? Do you know what you’re doing?”


    One of them said, “Ms. Stewart, as long as you cooperate with us, we guarantee not to hurt you.”


    Who would believe a kidnapper’s words? Cornelia looked at the speaker, “This is kidnapping, an illegal


    act. If you let me go now, I can pretend this never happened. Otherwise…” “Heh… The man nced at


    Cornelia as if she was a fool.


    Cornelia knew that talking about thew with these people would be useless, but it was the only thing


    she could think of to save herself.
