    Chapter 291


    The intoxicating heat radiating off Marcus brushed her cheeks, his sultry, drunken voice ringing in her


    ears. “Darling”


    Cornelia sobered up instantly She tried to push him away, but he was much bigger than her, pinning


    her against the door. She was stuck “Marcus, you’ve got me mixed up with someone else I’m not your


    wife”


    “Comelia,” he called her name his voice gentle and heart stopping He reached up and pinched her


    chubby cheek. “You are Comelia, my wife”


    Comelia was on the verge of tears “Marcus fm your assistant Comelia, not your wife Cornelia We just


    share the same name We’re not the same person


    cant mistake my wife! You are my wife He stared at her, his eyes and and fierce behind his sses,


    ready to devour her at any moment


    “Im not! You we really got the wrong person! As Marcus leaned in even closer, close enough to kiss her


    Cornelia trembled in fear “Marcus, is this fair to your wife?”


    Marcus paused for a moment, and Cornelia took the chance to push him with all her might


    She didnt know if she was suddenly strong or he was too weak, but she managed to push him back


    several steps.


    Marcus, drunk as a skunk, lost his bnce and fell towards the floor Luckily, there was a couch behind


    him to catch his falling body


    Cornelia rushed over to see him asleep with his eyes closed


    Annoyed, she kicked him in the leg “You jerk, if you miss your wife go home and hug her. What makes


    you different from a jerk? I’m just your assistant, paid by you, not someone you can just grab and


    hug?”.


    After venting her anger, Cornelia felt much better. She returned to her room, did a quick wash up, then


    tried to sleep.


    It waste, and after all that booze, normally shed fall asleep as soon as she hit the bed. But tonight,


    Cornelia just couldn’t sleep


    The weather was cold, and even with the heating on, Marcus could catch a cold sleeping on the couch


    all night


    if Marcus fell sick, their itinerary would be ruined And as his assistant, she’d be the one to me.


    After a lot of thought, Cornelia decided to cover him with a nket


    She got up from her bed, went to the living room, and saw Marcus sleeping on the couch, his sses


    slipping down to his nose, looking like a bum


    She wanted to wake him up and tell him to go sleep in his room, but she was afraid he might do


    something inappropriate again. So, she went to his room, got a nket, and covered him


    After covering him with the nket, she kicked him in the leg again, saying “You jerk, you think you can


    bully people just because you’re rich? I wam you, if you dare touch me again, fl make you pay

    After venting, Cornelia went back to her room to sleep


    She was worried that Marcus might barge into her room in the middle of the night. Though she was in


    bed, she couldn’t sleep


    She got out of bed again, locked her door, and moved a cab behind it, just in case


    After all that, Cornelia crawled back into bed feeling a little safer


    She took out her phone and scrolled to her chat with Jeremy Theirst chat was at 2.30 that afternoon


    when he told her he had safely arrived in Riverton They hadn’t chatted since


    After some hesitation, she texted Jeremy. “Are you asleep”


    It was past one in the morning Most people would be asleep. She didn’t expect Jeremy to see her


    message.


    But she still held out hope. She hoped Jeremy was still awake. She hoped he would see her message


    right away. She hoped he would reply
