    Chapter 122


    Cornelia, of course knew how awesome Marcus was, and giving him full marks was totally justified Ms


    Lacy, why not a 107


    The only w is that he’s not my man “Alvina Lacy thought for a moment and used a metaphor only a


    gel could understand it’s like you have your eye on a limited edition bag, but when you’re about to pay,


    you’re told it’s been bought by someone else. Can you still give that bag a 107”


    It was the first time Cornelia heard someonepare Marcus to a bag, and she couldn’t help but


    laugh. “Ms: Lacy, keep talking, I


    love listening to you”


    *Just call me Alvina “Alvina Lacy refilled Cornelia’s wine ss. “Cornelia, you know I really like you too.


    Today, at the opening ceremony. I looked at you for so long but you never gave me a


    response”


    Cornelia was ttered “Are you sure you were looking at me during the opening ceremony, not at


    President Hartley?”


    “Of course I looked at him and you I’m just an ordinary person. What’s wrong with enjoying good-


    looking guys and gals?”


    1s Ms Lacyplimenting me?”


    “Isn’t it obvious?”


    “Thank you, Ms Lacy!”


    “Cornelia, your skin is so good. Which skincare brand do you use? Rmend it to me, and I give it a


    try.”


    Cornelia was not shy. Any skincare product works for me.”


    The two chatted more and more, not only about men and skincare but also about entertainment gossip.


    They talked about everything girls could chat about.


    While chatting and drinking, the two bottles of red wine quickly emptied, and Alvina Lacy ordered a


    bottle of champagne. N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    Cornelia rarely chatted so much with people she wasn’t familiar with, but she and Alvina Lacy really hit


    it off. They not only exchanged contact information but also made ns for ther


    next meeting


    When they were full, Cornelia was already too drunk to tell direction


    Alvina Lacy, who was also struggling, supported her. “Cornelia, let me take you home.”


    Cornelia hupped “Okay, you take me home first, then I’ll take you home, deal?”


    The hotel staff couldn’t bear to see the two drunk women helping each other. “Ladies, we can arrange a


    shuttle car to take you back:


    “We are not drunk. Why do you need to arrange a car for us?” Alvina Lacy hugged Cornelia and


    suddenly kissed her cheek. “I like Cornelia, and I’want to walk her home. No one can stop


    me”


    Cornelia, who had been kissed, was not angry but echoed, “Right, we are sober. You can’t fool us out


    of our money.”


    At this time, you think of money?”


    Marcus’s deep and pleasant voice, with a hint of sternness, reached Cornelia’s ears, and she found it


    familiar. Who are you?”


    She was not only drunk enough to be kissed by another woman but also drunk enough not to recognize


    him.


    Marcus pulled her into his arms and smelled the strong alcohol on her. “how much did you drink?”


    Cornelia had disappeared after work in the afternoon, and he had waited for her all evening without


    seeing her. He called her, but she didn’t answer.


    Worried about her safety, he went out to find her and saw her looking tipsy.


    Im not drunk! I can walk just fine.” Cornelia could indeed walk on her own, but her steps were unsteady,


    and she would surely fall if she took a few more steps


    Alvina Lacy, who was also unsteady on her feet, mocked her. “Cornelia, you walk like a penguin,


    hahaha.”


    “You guys arrange for someone to take her home After instructing the staff to send Alvina Lacy home,


    Marcus carefully held the unsteady Cornelia in his arms. “Let’s go home”
