    Chapter 672


    Comelia said, “Ive poured my whole life’s knowledge and skills into this, went through countless


    selections, and fought my way up from a division to the headquarters in The Hartley Group. Then, I had


    topete with so many others for the position of the presidents assistant. After even more selections,


    I finally got to stand before you for


    your selection


    “If I had made even the slightest mistake during this process. I wouldn’t have been able to stand by


    your side as your assistant. This job wasn’t easy to get. I can’t just give it up like that


    “I’m d you chose me as your assistant, because after working by your side, my annual sry has


    shot up from a few tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand. Over a hundred thousand a year,


    that’s money that many people can’t make in their whole lives. For me, that’s already a huge amount, it


    has brought me one step closer to my goal of buying a house”


    Upon hearing this, Marcus suddenly felt an unbearable pain in his heart, “You’ve taken the past ny


    nine steps, let me take the next one, okay?”


    Comelia said, “Sure But I need your advice now, should ept Taylor’s offer of two hundred and fifty


    thousand?”


    After all, this amount was a huge sum to Cornelia. It came too easily, and she felt uneasy about it.


    Marcus said, “We’re in the information age now, information is more valuable than the people who


    execute it. Simply put, whoever you tell that piece of information to, can make money from it. But Taylor


    is different, if he didn’t have your information, he wouldn’t make that money You should take that


    money, take it without any pressure”


    His analysis was so sharp and thorough, and he could see the essence of the problem at a nce


    Cornelia said. “Thank you! You’ve put my mind at ease.”


    Marcus suddenly thought of something. “You told me before on WhatsApp that you wanted to secretly


    take pictures of the president and his wife to sell. Are you still thinking about that?”


    Cornelia said, “Don’t bring up what shouldn’t be brought up, we can still be friends. If you continue to


    bring it up, we can’t be friends anymore.”


    Marcus said, “I don’t want to be your friend, I’m your husband”


    Cornelia was speechless.


    After more than an hour drive, they returned to the city.


    Cornelia drove her new sports car with Marcus, Ben didn’t notice anything unusual and still followed


    them up to the president’s exclusive elevator


    The elevator quickly ascended, the floor numbers increasing rapidly. Suddenly there was a loud bang,


    the elevator came to a stop, then suddenly started free–falling


    Cornelia screamed in fright. But the next moment, she found herself in a warm embrace, and heard


    Marcus’s gentle voice, “Cornelia, don’t be afraid, I’m here.”


    He was there, and she wasn’t that scared anymore.


    Fortunately, the elevator only fell a few floors before stopping again. But, the lights in the elevator went


    out, leaving it inplete darkness. They could only hear each other’s rapid breathingContent ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Cornelia quickly calmed down. She left Marcus’s embrace, turned on her phone’s shlight to


    illuminate the inside of the elevator, then pressed the emergency call button, “We re trapped in the


    president’s exclusive elevator. It’s very dangerous. You need to send someone to deal with this


    immediately”


    The other end responded immediately, “Ms. Stewart, please wait a moment. Someone from the


    engineering department is on the way”


    Cornelia, “Okay”


    “President Hartley, someone from the engineering department is on the way. We shouldn’t be trapped


    for long” Cornelia said loudly, both to inform Marcus and to reassure herself that they shouldn’t be


    afraid, and everything should be fine.


    After saying this, she didn’t get a response from Marcus, and she vaguely felt that something was


    wrong.


    She shone her phone’s shlight towards Marcus and noticed that his handsome face seemed to be


    contorted


    Cornelia quickly turned off her shlight and walked over to him. She stood by his side, and held his


    hand. Her fingers inteced with his, tightly holding his hand, “It’s okay, we can get through this.”
