Chapter 266


    Chapter 266


    Briana had always been self–assured and used to receivingpliments, but when Cornelia praised


    her, she blushed. “Cornelia, do you mally think I’m that great?”


    “Absolutely” Comelia gently patted her head “But I have to go home today We can hang out sometime


    when you te free”


    “I really don’t want you to leave Brana hugged Comelia tightly again, and they both walked down the


    stairs together


    Marcus was in the living room downstairs. At the sound of footsteps, he nced up and saw Comelia


    all ready to leave. He didn’t need to ask to know she was leaving. “You’re leaving?”


    Cornelia nodded, “President Hartley Im sorry aboutst night”


    Marcus stood up. “Come to my study”


    Comelia followed him upstairs it was her first time on the third floor of the vi which had the master


    bedroom, dressing room, and study


    Just the study alone was quite spacious, decorated in a simple and generous style. And the number of


    books inside was impressive, like a mini library


    The most prominent book in the study was a rare edition Cornelia had been looking for it for a long time


    but found it here unexpectedly. She asked ‘President Hartley have you read all these books?”


    Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    “Yep “Noticing Comelia was eyeing the book, Marcus sensed her fondness for it. “If you like the books


    here, you’re wee to drop by and read anytime


    Considering it might not be convenient for an assistant to frequently visit his home, Cornelia proposed


    a better idea. “President Hartley, instead of meing over, why don’t you lend me a couple of books?


    return them once Im done”


    Marcus said. “That works too, but you have to promise me one thing first”


    Comelia asked, “What’s that?”


    “Do you remember what happened yesterday?” Cornelia had been calm since she woke up. If Marcus


    didn’t know her well, he might have been fooled by herposure


    Justin had once mentioned that such conditions needed early treatment, not to be dyed. Otherwise,


    all the pain Comelia went throughst night would be for nothing. So Marcus decided, Cornelia must


    confront her car ident experience today


    Comelia was taken aback, “President Hartley, what are you talking about?”


    Marcus continued, “You’re suffering from post traumatic stress disorder”


    His simple statement hit Cornelia like a ton of bricks, shattering the calm she’d been struggling to


    maintain


    She had to try hard to control her emotions, to barely keep up her usual smile.


    Cornelia believed that as long as she didn’t admit to it and performed well at work, Marcus wouldn’t be


    able to confirm her mental issues, “President Hartley, I’m mentally healthy, there’s no way I have post


    traumatic stress disorder”
