Chapter 646


    Chapter 646


    “Ben, what era do you think this is? What’s wrong with having a girlfriend?” Leonardo patted Ben on the


    shoulder casually, then said seriously. “People these days are pretty open–minded. Many hit it off the


    first time they meet. For everyone’s safety and to prevent any ‘oopsie daisies, condoms are a must


    have unless you don’t want to be a responsible man”


    Leonardo’s thing was that he was straight as an arrow He could say whatever he wanted, no matter


    who was listening, without feeling embarrassed. The ones feeling awkward were usually others.


    After getting a nudge from Leonardo, Ben suddenly got it. If some things were too embarrassing for his


    boss to ask, it was his job to get the answers, “Leonardo, which brand is good then?”


    Leonardo, being the know–it–all he was, replied, “There’s a ton of them out there, as long as it’s safe


    and meets the standards, it’s good. But if you want the creme de creme, go for the ultra–thin 001”


    Ben pulled out a pen and notebook to jot down everything. “Leonardo, are there specific instructions for


    use?”


    Seeing how serious Ben was, Leonardo was pleased, “Ben, you don’t have to be all formal”


    Ben replied. “Better safe than sorry. Leonardo, keep going, the more details the better.”


    He didn’t need this info for himself. He just needed to understand and report back to Marcus, so he


    needed to get everything down.


    Comelia quickly cut them off, “Leonardo, weren’t you supposed to ask Marcus something? Why aren’t


    you asking?”


    Leonardo waved her off impatiently. Tll askter, I m exining this to Ben first”


    He nced at Cornelia and Marcus, ‘If you guys don’t know, I can exin it to you too. But you guys


    are married, you should know this stuff, right?”


    Cornelia turned red with embarrassment. “You guys keep talking, I’m leaving”


    Was this really an appropriate topic for the office? And in front of her and Marcus?


    And the kicker was, Marcus didn’t stop them either. She was the odd one out in this scenario.


    Back in her office, Cornelia sent a WhatsApp message to Abigail [Abigail, SOS‘]


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Abigail replied quickly: [Cornelia, what’s up?]


    Cornelia: [Marcus wants to take me out tonight as Jeremy, but I’m still not used to his other persona]


    19


    Abigail [Cornelia, since you’ve epted his double identity, you’ll have to face this sooner orter. No


    matter if you face it head–on or run away, the problem won’t disappear. So just face it.]


    Even though Cornelia understood the logic, dealing with her boss as his wife still made her feel


    ufortable.


    Abigail sent another message: [While I won’t deny that part of the reason I support you and Marcus


    being together is his looks, wealth and status, I trust your judgement more. You said he’s a good guy


    trustworthy, so you should feel safe with him. Pretend you’re going on a blind date today, and your date


    just happens to be your boss You two have been working together for so long, and you know each


    other pretty well. So it’s high time to take it to the next level]


    Thinking about it that way did make it easier to ept.


    Cornelia replied [You’re the best.]


    Abigail replied: [What time do you knock off? I’ll do your make–up for the date when you get back, then


    you can go out. I guarantee your date will be head over heels for you] Cornelia replied with augh:


    [Deal)
