    Chapter 104


    Cornelia didn’t want to answer, but Marcus could probably guess her thoughts and insisted on her


    saying it out loud, Tm asking you now”


    Zack didn’t like his girl being bullied by others, so he nced at Marcus, President Hartley, whether


    your wife will forgive you or not, you should ask her My Nelly’s words indeed don’t


    count.”


    Marcus eyes under the silver rimmed sses were sharp and menacing. “Your Nelly?”


    When did Corn, his wife, be someone else’s?


    Some hostility was only noticeable between men, and Zack saw Marcus as a dangerous guy. “Yeah,


    my Nelly, we’ve known each other since we were kids”


    Abigail who was too distracted by Cornelia’s beauty, didn’t notice the tension between the two men and


    continued, “President Hartley, do you want to know how Nelly got her nickname?” Cornelia was getting


    a headache. Abby, President Hartley is so busy, so that he doesn’t have time for this.”


    However, Marcus was very interested in everything about Cornelia, “Go on”


    Abigail excitedly said, “When Nelly was about five or six years old, she was thirsty and identally


    drank Granny Reba’s medicinal alcohol. She got drunk and crawled around the house like a


    caterpir That’s when we started calling her that ”


    “Abby, if you don’t shut up, I’ll show you what’s what tonight,” Cornelia threatened. If Abby kept talking,


    Marcus would know all her embarrassing childhood stories


    Abigail leaned into Cornelia’s arms, “I wouldn’t mind, but aside from punching me a few times, what


    else can you do?… But we can go out and have some fun together” Cornelia hurriedly covered her


    mouth Abigail had never even had a boyfriend, but her mouth was fierce, and there was nothing she


    wouldn’t say.


    Usually, when the three of them were together, joking around was harmless, but now there was Marcus


    Zack deliberately said, “I heard The Dive Bar has some new people. I’ll take you both there sometime.”


    Were these two crazy today?


    Cornelia quickly interrupted him, Zack, have you decided which BBQ ce we’re going to? I need to


    reserve a seat.”


    “Just the one we always go to up ahead, we’ll be there in a minute.” Zack parked the car by the BBQ


    ce and let them get out first while he looked for a parking spot. Before even entering, they could


    smell the strong aroma of grilled meat. Cornelia looked at Marcus, “President Hartley, are you really


    able to eat this?”


    Marcus, if you can eat it, why can’t I?”


    Cornelia, *_*


    The three of them entered the restaurant, they missed the peak dining hours and there were not many


    diners in the restaurant now. Cornelia chose an eight-person table in the corner


    She pulled out a bench and wiped it over and over with a paper towel, making sure it was clean before


    saying, “President Hartley, please sit down.”


    Marcus actually sat down, and Cornelia sat to his left, gesturing for him to use the hot towel brought by


    the waiter first..


    After wiping their hands, Cornelia began to order. She knew Marcus couldn’t eat greasy food, so she


    nned to order some light dishes. Just as she was about to order, Zack came over “What’s the point


    of eating BBQ if you’re going to order light dishes?”


    Cornelia said, “Zack, President Hartley can’t eat greasy food. Let’s just order some light dishes.”


    Zack looked at Marcus provocatively, “If President Hartley really can’t eat greasy food, then let’s order


    some light dishes to go with the BBQ.”


    Marcus said, “Whatever you guys eat, I’ll eat.”Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
