    Chapter 479


    Come only just noticed she was still holding a camera and hastily handed it back to the two boys,


    “Sorry, almost forgot really owe you guys. If it wasn’t for you, I might have been dragged off by those


    guys”


    “You’re too kind, we didn’t do much.” The boys were a bit embarrassed Had Cornelia not snatched their


    camem, they wouldn’t have stepped in. They figured it was none of their business


    After a pause, one of the boys asked ‘Could we have your contact info?


    Before Cornelia could respond, Marcus darkly interjected, ‘She’s already married


    “No worries “Comelia pulled out her phone with a smile. “You can have my WhatsApp”


    The boy lit up quickly pulling out his phone. Im Rory, and you?”


    N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    “What her name is none of your business” Marcus, with a grim expression, snatched Cornelia’s phone


    and locked the screen.


    The boy clearly had eyes for her. There was no way she was going to add him in front of Marcus.


    Marcus, with phone in hand, turned and left.


    Feeling a bit awkward, Cornelia said, “You’re from Riverton, right? I work there too. If we meet again,


    my husband and I would like to treat you to a meal.”


    “Sure“” Rory nodded, ncing at the departing Marcus. “But your husband doesn’t seem to like me


    much”


    “He’s my boss, not my husband My husband is a great guy Hed be happy to meet you, my saviors.”


    Comelia said.


    It was a stretch to call them her life saviors for the little they did. But to Cornelia, it was a matter of life


    and death. She exchanged numbers with the boys, hoping to thank them with a meal someday


    After a while, Cornelia rushed to catch up with Marcus. He wasnt walking fast. so she caught up easily.


    Once in the car. Marcus’s dissatisfaction came through, “You’re quite popr with men‘


    Cornelia didn’t know why he’d say that and didnt feel like exining. “Not as much as you.”


    Marcus paused, then said, “I’ve never liked any girls. Never added any that like me.”


    “Oh.” Comelia responded half–heartedly


    Truth be told, she couldn’t care less about who Marcus liked or didn’t. She only cared about her


    husband, Jeremy


    By the time Cornelia was done with her reports, it was already dark. Work left undone would have to


    wait until tomorrow.


    Woodpine had arge temperature difference between day and night. The night breeze made Comelia


    shiver in her light clothes, “I’m sorry, President Hartley! I held up work


    again.”


    “There’s nothing important today, don’t beat yourself up” Marcus was only wearing a white shirt and


    couldn’t fend it to her, “It’s cold, let’s find a clothing store for a coat.”


    Cornelia had the same idea but didn’t want to waste his time. To her surprise, he suggested it first.


    “There’s a street selling Woodpine traditional clothing nearby: Shall we check it out?”


    “Sure” Marcus said


    They drove to the traditional clothing street. Not wanting to waste Marcus’s time. Cornelia quickly


    picked a beautifully embroidered coat from a decent–looking store.


    The embroidery was exquisite and the coat was beautiful, but the price was well over a hundred


    dors. A coat for hundreds of dors was a bit painful.


    Under normal circumstances, Comelia wouldn’t have splurged. But she would freeze without a coat


    now and didn’t want to keep Marcus waiting, so she gritted her teeth and


    bought it


    The saleswoman nced at Marcus then Comelia, “Ma’am, you look great in this coat Would you like


    to pick one for your husband too?”
