Chapter 227


    Chapter 227


    Zack and Abigail were arguing up a storm, while Cornelia and Marcus were as quiet as mice.


    With her boss in the car, Cornelia was driving with her full attention, not daring to ck off.


    Marcus, in the passenger seat, tried to strike up a conversation a few times but couldn’t find the right


    topic.


    He knew that if he wanted Cornelia to answer, it had to be work–rted, or she might dodge him with


    the excuse of not wanting to talk about her personal life.


    Sometimes he felt that even though he was her boss, he still needed her, his assistant, to arrange his


    daily affairs.


    Thinking about this, he shook his head helplessly.


    Well, it couldn’t be helped. After all, Cornelia was his wife.


    Comelia noticed his small movement and asked, “Marcus, what’s up?”

    Marcus chuckled. “I just thought of something funny.”


    Comelia, “Oh really?”


    Marcus, ‘Don’t you want to know what it is?”


    Cornelia, “Can I ask?”


    Marcus: “You can ask anything in front of me. Treat me as a friend; no need to stand on ceremony.”


    Cornelia gave a smallugh but didn’t ask further.


    Treat him as a friend?


    She thought about it and decided it was best not to entertain such thoughts.


    Marcus had been nice to her recently, but she couldn’t forget her role as his assistant.


    The mostfortable rtionship between them was that of boss and assistant.


    She just needed to work for him without mixing in any personal feelings.


    Otherwise, if he didn’t pay her one day, she would feel embarrassed to ask.


    Of course, Marcus had no idea what Cornelia was thinking. He quietly waited for her to ask, but when


    she didn’t, he had to find a topic himself. “By the way, Skyler Blue has safely reached her desired


    location. Zavier Rivera won’t bother her for now.”


    Upon hearing Skyler Blue’s name, Cornelia’s attitude changed. “Marcus, thank you for helping Skyler


    Blue. She doesn’t have a phone and doesn’t dare use her bank card. Could I trouble you to have


    someone deliver my bank card to her?”


    Marcus smiled, wanting to ruffle her hair but holding back. “Silly, Skyler Blue isn’t as naive as you. She


    was well prepared to run away. carrying enough cash tost a while. She also got a new phone and a


    new SIM card. She thought of everything you didn’t.”


    “She’s so well prepared, that puts my mind at ease.” Cornelia took a deep breath. “Sigh, Skyler Blue


    started nning to run away right. after getting married; do you know what Zavier did to her?”


    Marcus believed that Zavier loved Skyler Blue but just had the wrong approach: “We, as outsiders,


    don’t have a say in someone else’s personal affairs.”


    “Right.” Cornelia nodded, then after a while, she said seriously, “Marcus, could you do me a small


    favor?”


    “What’s up?” He was always looking forward to her making requests, and finally, it came.


    Cornelia turned to look at him very seriously and asked, “Could you please stop calling me silly all the


    time? You should know that if someone keeps being called silly, they might end up bing silly. If


    you don’t want your assistant to be a dimwit, thenpliment mé more. That way, I’ll be


    smarter.”


    Marcus couldn’t help butugh at her words.
