Chapter 679


    Chapter 679


    Comelia followed Marcus’s gaze into the distance.


    Since the Hartley Group building was the symbol of Riverton and the tallest structure in the city, it


    offered a panoramic view of the entire Riverton


    It was a fascinating sight


    However, after the brief moment of enchantment, a sense of emptiness crept in. Standing at the peak,


    without friends, without rivals, it felt hollow


    Cornelia guessed that Marcus might be feeling the same emptiness and loneliness inside


    She gently lifted her head and looked at him, “President Hartley, what’s on your mind? Care to share?”


    Marcus was staring at her lips. There was a clear cut on her lower lip, a result of his unintentional bite.


    “Why are you looking at me like that while we’re talking? Is there something on my face? This man, he


    shouldn’t be looking at her so intently all the time.


    If this kept up, she really wouldn’t be able to focus on her work


    Unexpectedly, Marcus was not just looking at her, he was also taking action. He quickly reached out,


    grabbed her head, gently pushed her head forward. He then lowered his own, and kissed her lips


    again.


    This was his third time kissing her!


    The first time wasst night. Her reaction was so fast that before Cornelia could even register the


    feeling of his kiss, he had already let go of her


    The second time was just a while ago in the elevator, where he kissed her fiercely like a wild beast,


    only leaving her with pain


    But this time, it waspletely different from the previous ones. He was domineering yet gentle, utterly


    irresistible.


    Cornelia tried to dodge, but soon felt a cold sensation on her lips, along with a faint herbal scent. She


    immediately realized that he was applying medicine to her lip in his


    own way.


    After ensuring he hadn’t missed a spot on her lip, Marcus let her go, “There, done.


    Cornelia blushed and handed him the milk, “Here’s the milk. You should drink it first.”


    Marcus had already had his morning cup, and didn’t really want more. But since it was prepared by


    Cornelia, he epted it anyway.


    After finishing the milk, Cornelia took the cup from him, “It’s half past nine, and Moongazer Tech’s


    representatives will be here in half an hour. Do you need to rest for a while in the lounge?”


    His health was not in the best condition, and the elevator incident might have taken a toll on him. The


    uing meeting might go on for hours, and Cornelia was worned he might not be able to hold up.


    Marcus chuckled and patted her head, “Alright.”


    After looking after Marcus, Cornelia returned to her office.


    She shared this office with Ben


    Ben was sitting at his desk, zoned out as if something had shocked him. He didn’t even greet Cornelia


    when she came in.


    She said to him, “Ben, the meeting with Moongazer Tech is about to start. What are you daydreaming


    about?”


    Ben moved slightly, as if snapping back to reality. He looked at Comelia with dissatisfaction and


    contempt, ‘Ms. Stewart, I always thought you were a girl with self–respect and self–love, but I didn’t


    imagine.”Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.
