Chapter 211


    Chapter 211


    Cornelia was noodling over how to keep thedies at the office happy. As long as they were in high


    spirits, she was happy. However, Marcus, the guy’s a business shark through and -through.


    For Marcus, raking in the dough was always priority one. He didn’t have the heart to break a sweat for


    all thedies.


    Everything he did, every sweet word he spun, was just because Cornelia was his better half


    He would move heaven and earth just to see her smile.


    Under his gaze, Cornelia felt a bit sheepish, “Of course. I’m happy.”


    As long as she was happy. Marcus cracked a smile, “It’ste, clock out.”


    “Alright Cornelia nced at the time, rarely clocking out this early.


    She was about to squeeze into the subway ride home when she remembered thepany’s new whip,


    so she dashed back to drive home


    On the way home, shed pass a mega mall Thinking of the gift from Jeremy, she thought she should


    return the favor, so she parked in the underground garage.


    At the mall, Cornelia was in a pickle over what to buy. So, she sent a message to Zack Ruck, Zack,


    what kind of gift do guys like?”


    Zack shot back, “Are you already shopping for my birthday gift?”


    Cornelia answered, “It’s for Jeremy.”


    Zack responded, “Damn, how’s he higher up than me in your heart?”


    Abigail butted in, “OMG, you’re really going to keep seeing him? Don’t forget how he left you high and


    dry before.”


    Cornelia kept mum.


    She shouldn’t have brought this up with these two.


    They were still bantering in the group chat, but Cornelia gave them the cold shoulder


    Checking her contacts, she didn’t have many friends. The guys on her list were all clients, after some


    digging, there were only two she could ask.


    One was Ben, old school views, not much help. The other was Leonardo.


    So, Cornelia shot Leonardo a message, ‘Leonardo, what kind of gift do guys like?”


    Leonardo shot back, ‘Depends on whos for


    Cornelia answered, “From a wife to a husband.”


    Leonardo responded, “Ahem, if you really want to know, I’ve got a ton of ideas, are you sure you want


    to hear them?”


    Cornelia responded, “Never mind, thanks anyway, bye.”


    She shouldn’t have expected a straight answer from Leonardo.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    With her friends striking out, Cornelia turned to Google, “best gifts for a male friend.”


    The search results were all ads, some of them downright ridiculous.


    Cornelia nixed the ad suggestions and headed straight to a men’s store.


    After some window shopping. Cornelia decided to get Jeremy a pair of running shoes. Hopefully, he’d


    get more exercise when he wasn’t on the clock and stay fit. But she didn’t know Jeremy’s shoe size


    No biggie, she could ask the two grannies at Southern Peak.


    During the video call, the grannies were in the middle of dinner. Hearing from her, they both dropped


    their forks and fought to squeeze into the screen, “Nelly”


    Cornelia greeted them cheerily. Seeing the grannies tively and kicking on the screen made her day,


    “Grannies, why do I feel like you guys are having a st when we’re not around?”
