    Chapter 451


    Marcus couldn’t read Cornelia’s mind due to his position, so he texted her as Jeremy from his personal


    phone:


    [How’s work treating you today, Cornelia?]


    After sending the message, he felt like he was throwing stones into the sea- no response. Marcus


    waited for a while, but Cornelia didn’t reply. Comelia usually didn’t carry her personal phone during


    work hours, so she had no idea she received a message from Jeremy


    Robert needed to get to the airport asap. The signing couldn’t be dyed any longer


    After hanging in his office for a while, Marcus didn’te out. Cornelia had no choice but to knock on


    his door again, “President Hartley, you…”

    Before she could finish, Marcus was already walking towards her, “Let’s go.”


    He walked out of the office, striding towards the elevator Cornelia followed closely, stepping into the


    CEO’s private elevator with him.


    Once the elevator door closed, Marcus said out of the blue, “Cornelia, do you know how exceptional


    you are?”


    Cornelia was taken aback, looking up at her boss. His deep and sexy voice echoed, “You’re the most


    exceptional woman I’ve ever known”


    She had worked by Marcus’s side for a year, and he never held back hispliments when she did a


    good job. But this was the first time she heard such high praise from


    him


    He had met countless women, many of whom were undoubtedly stronger and more exceptional than


    her.


    She thought, maybe he wanted to encourage her, to work better without being affected by others. So,


    she had to respond, “Thank you for yourpliments, President Hartley! I’ll work even harder and treat


    the Hartley Group as my home.”


    “Less ass–kissing, more sincerity” Marcus couldn’t help but pinch Cornelia’s bun.


    His move was too quick. By the time Cornelia noticed, he had already pulled his hand back. She


    couldn’t really say anything


    Marcus added, “In the future, just do whatever you want. Don’t care about what others think. The


    Hartley Group and I are always there for you.”


    “Thank you, President Hartley!” This time, he said the Hartley Group and he were always there for her,


    not just when she worked at the Hartley Group


    Cornelia caught the difference between the two sentences, but she didn’t overthink it, nor dare to.


    Signing was the final step before the coboration. Even if both parties had agreed on everything, this


    step couldn’t be taken lightly.


    Before signing the contract, the legal teams of both sides would review the content again. They need to


    ensure there were no loopholes, and then the heads of both parties would sign and seal it.


    After signing the contract, Robert of Skyline Co. was thrilled, “President Hartley, thank you for your trust


    in Skyline Co. and giving us a chance to coborate.”


    When choosing a partner, Marcus never let personal feelings get in the way. He valuedpetence


    and integrity more. He said, “It’s not us giving you the chance, but your Company standing out among


    manypetitors.”


    Although Marcus was opposed by many for choosing to work with Skyline Co. over other long–term


    partners of the Hartley Group, he still insisted on coborating with them.
