    Marcus, grinning at Ben, said, “You can go now.”


    Feeling his boss’s displeasure, Ben wasn’t sure what he’d done to upset him this time. He nodded,


    then quickly took his leave.


    Cornelia handed Marcus some documents, ready to give her report, only to hear him ask, “Why didn’t


    you shut that guy down right.


    away?”


    Lifting her head. Cornelia looked at Marcus. For a moment, she thought he was looking at her with


    jealousy, like a husband would at his wife being pursued by another man.


    She shook her head, thinking she must be imagining things. It was just a colleague who had shown


    interest in her, and she’d blown it out of proportion, even thinking that President Hartley was into her.


    “To be clear, he only asked for my advice on work stuff, he never said he liked me.” She exined to


    Marcus, “Should I have shot him down right away? What if I misunderstood?”


    After her reply, she felt something was off, “President Hartley, does ourpany have a policy against


    dating coworkers?*


    If there wasn’t such a rule, then Marcus had no right to meddle with her personal life.


    Marcus remained silent, just staring at her.


    Nervously, Cornelia asked, “Is there a problem?”


    After a while, Marcus finally said, “Others can do it, but not you. You’re married.”


    ”


    “I know that. You don’t need to remind me.” Of course, Cornelia knew she was married, but she had


    been so busy with worktely that


    she hadn’t been in touch with Jeremy for a while.


    Ever since he said he was going back to Riverton, they hadn’t been in contact. She didn’t know if he


    was back yet.

    Regardless, she finally had some free time today, so she decided to check on the progress of their new


    home’s renovation.


    She had entrusted Trent Brown with overseeing the renovation. Trent was very responsible, treating


    Cornelia’s house as his own and updating her on the progress daily. From the pictures, Cornelia was


    very pleased with the renovation so far.


    After wrapping up work, Cornelia bid Marcus farewell and headed to the new house.


    She had invited Zack and Abigail to join her, and they had arrived a bit earlier. Upon seeing her, they


    rushed over and gave her a big hug, “You’ve been abroad for so long and even after returning home for


    half a month, you’ve been so busy. We haven’t even had a chance to have a meal together. When will


    you finally be free?”


    With an arm draped over each of their shoulders, Cornelia replied, “I should have a few free days


    coming up. Let’s check on the renovation first, then I’ll treat you guys to dinner.”


    “No need.” Zack said, “Our studio just made a lot of money. We can treat you.”


    Cornelia asked curiously, “What did you guys make money on?”


    Abigail quickly responded, “Ouric that we sold the rights to is super popr now! With Hannah, a


    popr actress as the lead, the adaptation has been widely anticipated from the start. The teaser


    released by the production is quite enticing, drawing in Hannah’s fans and others who found the trailer


    intriguing. Ouric has been topping the sales charts for months now. Isn’t that considered making


    big money?”


    Hearing about the iing money, Cornelia couldn’t help but feel excited.
