Chapter 807


    Chapter 807


    When Cornelia woke up, the sun was already high up and Marcus was nowhere to be found


    Her internal clock was usually spot on. Even without an rm, she’d wake up around the same time.


    What on earth had her sleeping till 10 am?


    She rolled over and stared at the emply side of the bed.


    This was their third night living together, and for thest two, he’d waited for her at breakfast every


    morning. Waking up to his absence left her feeling somehow empty, as if him waiting for her at


    breakfast had already be a longstanding routine.


    She felt out of sorts without him around for even a day


    Comelia grabbed her phone and shot Marcus a message without giving it a second thought.


    Suddenly, three messages popped up on the big screen in the conference room, causing the room to


    go eerily silent, even the experienced Ben felt a twinge of ary

    Cornelia: [What time did you get up? |


    Cornelia (Are you at the office already?]


    Comelia [Why didn’t you wake me up?]


    These messages shocked everyone in the room.


    However, Marcus acted as if nothing was out of the ordinary picked up his phone and typed out a


    couple of lines, then hit send I saw you were tiredst night, so I let you sleep in Didn’t wake you up ]


    Thanks to the phone screen being projected onto the big screen, everyone in the room could clearly


    see their conversation.


    He then continued [Just woke up?]


    Cornelia [Yeah.]


    Marcus: [Get up and freshen up,e downstairs for breakfast after. Can’t have you starving]


    Cornelia [Alright‘]


    The staff, especially the female staff, had mixed feelings seeing this warm exchange.


    There’d been rumors that their boss didn’t like women. Then after he personally announced his


    marriage, rumors spread that he adored his wife to bits. Everyone believed these rumors, thinking their


    boss was the type to spoil his wife rotten and had no interest in other women.


    Some harbored feelings for him but didn’t dare show it, afraid of getting fired. But Comelia, his


    assistant, was sharing a bed with hirri!


    After sending his messages, Marcus looked up and asked, “Why the pause?”


    Ben collected himself, ready to continue, when another ping from his phone interrupted him.


    Marcus checked his phone again, it was a new message in the group chat, sent by his grandmother: It


    used to worry that our Marc didn’t know how to treat ady. After watching this video, I now know that


    Marc sure knows how to charm a girl. What was I worned about?)


    The ‘charm a girl‘ part referred to the way he kissed in the video. Marcus got it. To avoid distractions,


    he set his phone to silent and got down to business


    But as he exited the group chat, he identally tapped on a video Briana had sentst night.


    Simultaneously, a video of a couple passionately kissing appeared on the big screen in the conference


    room. Their kiss was long and intense, as if they couldn’t bear to part.


    The screen was sorge that they could even see the man gently biting the woman’s lower lip during


    the kiss. Anyone in the room could tell that the couple in the video were Marcus and his assistant,


    Cornelia.
