    Chapter 146


    Cornelia was taken aback for a moment, and it took her a while to understand his words “Why would


    you do that?”


    “Just to find an excuse to chat with you ‘Of course. Marcus couldn’t tell the real situation, so he


    coughed lightly just wanted to test your ability to handle things”


    Testing her ability to handle things meant that if she hadn’t discovered the w, she could have been


    fired by him


    In the past few months with him, Cornelia felt that she had done her best in every task and had never


    made any mistakes However, her abilities still hadn’t gained his approval


    This realization made Cornelia feel a little ufortable, so she lowered her eyebrows and just said.


    “Oh”


    Marcus didn’t notice her difort and put the tablet back. “What do you want to eat tonight?”


    Cornelia didn’t want to feel depressed, nor did she want to be constantly on edge because of this job.


    So, she had to ask, “President Hartley, is there anything about my work that you’re not


    satisfied with7-


    Marcus immediately countered. Did I ever say you’re not doing a good job?”


    Cornelia replied you have noints about my work, then why suddenly test me?”


    Marcus


    Unintentionally, he saw the scar on her left arm. It was a reminder of when she had risked her life to


    save him in West Region.


    Although he had asked Dr. Dawson to use the best treatment, the wound was too deep, and a piece of


    flesh was missing When new flesh grew, there were still some traces left


    The scars spread out thinly, like a blooming blood rose


    Does it still hurt?” he asked

    Cornelia regretted it and followed his gaze to her arm. It hasn’t hurt for a long time, President Hartley.


    You don’t have to worry about it.


    It was a polite answer, but it made Marcus feel ufortable. He wanted to say something else but


    couldn’t find a topic.


    President Hartley, I have a spa appointment, so I won’t keep youpany” Cornelia walked ashore,


    put on her robe, and strode away, giving Marcus no more chances to bother her


    Rosie was taken somewhere by Lucas, and Hannah’s side probably wouldn’t end soon. Fortunately,


    Skyler was there to apany Cornelia at the spa


    The two of them eachy on a small bed, and because there were therapists around, they didn’t talk


    much


    Near the end, Skyler sent Cornelia a message on her phone. “Cornelia, let’s run away!”


    Cornelia looked at her, and since they couldn’t talk, she replied via Whatsapp. It’s dark outside, and the


    snow hasn’t stopped. It’s dangerous to drive down the mountain.”


    Cornelia could see that Skyler really didn’t want to be with Zavier.


    She hoped that Skyler could escape Zavier and gain freedom, but she couldn’t risk her life for it.


    “Skyler, let’s go down the mountain when the sunes up. You cane with me to Riverton then.”


    Skyler gently touched her belly and murmured, “Can I wait until dawn?


    Will the sun rise?


    When the sun rises, can she escape?
