    There were four of them in the car. The driver was focused on the road, Cornelia and Ben were


    giggling over something on their phones, and Marcus seemed like he was in a different


    universe.


    His two assistants were in the same car, but they were chatting away on their phones Especially


    Cornelia who wasughing so much, it made Marcus frown, “Rent”

    There was a chill in his voice that startled Ben, who was deeply engrossed in his chat, President


    Hartley?”


    Marcus nced at his watch and looked at him icily through his silver timined sses. “I want today’s


    inspection report in half an hour”


    He was only giving him half an hour, which meant Ben had to prepare the report before they reached


    the office.


    “Alright “Half an hour was a tight deadline but Ben didn’t dare to protest


    “Cornelia, President Hartley was in a good mood just now, but something’s off now. Be careful” After


    replying to Cornelia’s message. Ben immediately whipped out hisptop to start on


    the report.


    Cornelia was closer to Marcus and could feel his icy aura. She put away her phone and subtly moved


    away to put some distance between them


    Suddenly, Cornelia’s personal phone started buzzing


    She nced at Marcus before picking up the call “Abby, ask your friends and colleagues about it. I’ll


    ask around here too, to see if anyone knows a good interior designer”


    It was still office hours and the boss was right beside her, so Cornelia quickly ended the call.


    Marcus didn’t know what the call was about, but he could tell from Cornelia’s short response that she


    was looking for an interior designer.


    He took out his phone, found a number he hadn’t contacted in a while and sent a message, it’s me,


    Jeremy. My wife wants to renovate our house. Can you help?”


    The reply came quickly. I’m busy and my rates are high.”


    Marcus responded, “Name your price”


    The other party replied, “I like your style”


    On thetter part of the journey back, Ben was busy with work, and Cornelia started dealing with her


    own stuff.


    So, the car was eerily quiet, save for the sounds of typing.


    Luckily, both Ben and Cornelia managed to submit their reports before they reached the office.


    As soon as Cornelia got back to her office, the call from the supplies department came in, “Ms. Stewart,


    yourpany car is ready. Pleasee and sign for it.”


    “Okay, I’ll be right there “The Hartley Group provided cars for senior management and both Cornelia


    and Ben were eligible.


    Cornelia was surprised to find that thepany car assigned to her was a Porsche Cayenne.


    Cornelia walked around the car, feeling like she was dreaming. “Mr. Evans, are you sure this is the car


    assigned to me?”


    Mr. Evans responded, “Don’t be surprised All the executives eligible for apany car will get a


    Porsche”


    After confirming. Cornelia patted the car. “Ive always known that the Hartley Group is generous, but I


    didn’t expect this.”


    Mr. Evans chuckled, “Ever since President Hartley took over the Hartley Group, thepany’s


    earnings have been increasing Our employee benefits have also been improving. That’s why so many


    people are eager to join the Hartley Group.”


    Cornelia could rte. When she interviewed, there were over 200 candidates but only two got in. It just


    goes to show that even the most hardworking individuals might not make it into the Hartley Group
