    Chapter 683


    Marcus had no clue how the Padi family had helped his grandpa out, and didn’t really dig into it. Still,


    he remembered his granny’s words. If they ever needed a hand with something, as long as it wasn’t


    illegal, he would do his best to help


    “Take a seat, everyone Marcus sat and Cornelia handed him some documents, with important parts


    highlighted


    Got to give it to her, Comelia was a top–notch assistant Ever since she started working with him, things


    felt much easier. But he also realized, the easier his life got, the


    harder hers became


    Before the meeting officially started, Mr. Sharp from Moongazer Tech said, “It’s an honor for


    Moongazer Tech to coborate with President Hartley and the Hartley Group We hope for your


    guidance in the future”


    Marcus didn’t say much and just kicked off the meeting


    As usual, Comelia and Ben were on either side of Marcus, doing their respective jobs. One handed him


    documents, the other took down important points from the meeting.


    Comelia felt like someone was watching her while she was preparing documents for Marcus Looking


    up, she met Roman’s gaze again.


    He smiled at her, seemingly saying something without words,


    Comelia didn’t bother guessing what he was trying to say She just nced at him and then went back


    to her work.


    Today was the first discussion about the coboration on this project. Mr. Sharp was the first to speak.


    He introduced the entire project n, followed by Roman, the project lead


    It was clear that Roman, being a core member of Moongazer Tech’s tech research team, was a big


    shot. He talked non stop on the stage, with all thedies in the audience hooked on his every word


    But he didn’t pay much attention to other women. His gaze kept falling on Cornelia. During his half–


    hour speech, he looked her way no less than 10 times.


    Cornelia noticed, but she was busy taking notes and didn’t have time to deal with him.


    Unexpectedly, while she was handing Marcus a document, he leaned over and whispered in her ear,


    “Do you know that guy?”


    Cornelia shook her head and handed him the documents, “We’re at work, and people are watching.


    You cant do that.”


    Her ears turned red when Marcus leaned in, fearing he would kiss her in front of everyone.


    “Are you worried about that guy seeing, or everyone seeing?” He took the documents from her, his


    expression instantly cold, looking at her like she was a stranger, as if the one whispering in her ear


    wasn’t him.


    This was the kind of professional rtionship Cornelia wanted, but why did she feel ufortable


    when he actually treated her like a superior and subordinate?


    However, Cornelia didn’t have time to overthink. Roman was still exining some technical stuff on the


    stage, and these were all new to her. She had to focus to understand the uing work and do better.


    Two hours in the morning, three hours in the afternoon. A five–hour–long meeting. Everyone was


    exhausted when it ended. People started to pack up and leave, and soon the meeting room was almost


    empty.


    Cornelia packed up her documents and was ready to leave with Marcus when Roman suddenly called


    out, “Cornelia!”


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    He didn’t refer to her as assistant, but called her by her name. That shout attracted the attention of


    everyone who was still in the room. Especially Marcus, he paused for a moment, nced at Cornelia


    from the corner of his eye, and then casually walked out.


    Cornelia stopped, turned around, looked at Roman with a smile, “What’s up?”


    Her tone was polite and professional


    The unfamiliar tone made Roman frown slightly. He walked towards Cornelia, “Do you have any ns


    after work? If not, I’d like to invite you to dinner. Would you like to join me?”
