    Marcus said, “I got this.”


    Abigail replied, “Let Marcus do it, he’s willing.”


    Zack just stayed silent.


    It was their first little challenge and it seemed like Marcus passed.


    They entered the neighborhood, kept walking until they reached building ten, unit one. It was an old


    apartment building, with two elevators and six households. The elevator was small and there were


    quite a few people living there. At that moment, the elevator hadn’t arrived yet and a bunch of people


    were already waiting.


    They watched as the elevator ascended from the ground floor to the first floor. When the elevator doors


    opened, several people were already inside, and those waiting behind also rushed in to catch the


    elevator.


    Worried that Marcus might get squished, Cornelia pulled him into a corner. Abigail and Zack got


    pushed into another corner of the elevator. They were used to this daily hustle and bustle.


    Young and good–looking men and women always attracted attention, so many people couldn’t help but


    gaze at them.


    Although they all lived in the same building, they weren’t familiar with each other due to Cornelia’s


    irregr work schedule. She hadn’t even met many of her neighbors.


    Feeling ufortable under people’s gaze, Cornelia instinctively tightened her grip on Marcus‘ hand.


    Marcus also held her hand tightly, subtly stepping forward to make room for her. His tall body shieldedAll rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    her from all unfriendly stares.


    His body also blocked Cornelia’s view of the outside; all she could see was his strong back and broad


    shoulders.


    Cornelia stared at his back. His back was like a mountain in front of her, not only blocking all threats but


    also sheltering her from all the hardships and obstacles. It seemed as if she had nothing to fear as long


    as he was there.


    Without thinking, Cornelia lightly rested her face against his back.


    Marcus stood still, letting her lean against him. He was only wearing a thin white shirt. With her face


    against his back, he could feel her burning body heat and the sticity of her cheeks.


    As the elevator ascended floor by floor, fewer and fewer people remained until only the four of them


    were left.


    Marcus then moved slightly forward, allowing Cornelia to move as well.


    Cornelia looked down and noticed a yellow stain on his white shirt. For a clean freak, this was


    absolutely unbearable. Worried that Marcus might feel ufortable, Cornelia quickly took

    out a wet wipe. “President Hartley, your shirt is stained. Don’t move, let me clean it for you.”


    Upon hearing this, Zack was a little angry. “What did you call him? President Hartley? Even though


    Cornelia is your assistant, she’s also your wife. After work hours, please be kinder to her and don’t treat


    her like a servant.”


    Marcus ignored Zack, his eyes only on Cornelia. He pushed away Cornelia’s busy hand, “It’s fine.”


    This kind of thing would have never happened to Marcus in the past. His obsessive cleanliness


    wouldn’t allow any dirt on his clothes.


    However, for Cornelia, he was willing to try and change himself, to ept things he previously couldn’t.
