    Chapter 1064


    Comelia said, “Let’s cut the chit–chat. The meeting is about to start”


    In a panic, Ben blurted out, “Oh shoot, my meeting materials are not ready yet. Cornelio, President


    Hartley definitely won’t be mad at you, could you cover for me in the meeting…”


    Before Ben could finish, Comelia tly refused, “No way!”


    As Ben scrambled to prepare his matenals, heined to Cornelia, “You’re so nice to Ynda, why


    can’t you be a little nicer to me? We’ve been working together for so long, there’s gotta be some


    feelings there, right?”


    Comelia chuckled, “Feelings? Between you and me?”


    Ben insisted, “Of course! We actually get along really well


    Suddenly, Cornelia eximed, “President Hartley, when did you get here?”


    “President Hartley, ah, no, Cornelia and I don’t have a personal rtionship.” Ben began to apologize


    before even seeing President Hartley. But when he looked up, he found Marcus wasn’t there.


    Realizing he’d been fooled, he red at Cornelia, “Comelia, do you believe that I could punch you?”


    Comelia replied. “I don’t believe you!”

    Ben retorted, “You don’t believe me? I tell you, even with President Hartley protecting you, I could still


    lay a punch on you. I could hit you so hard you wouldn’t even recognize yourself.”


    Cornelia said again, “President Hartley, you’re really here this time!”


    Ben said, “If I’m fooled again, I’m not Ben anymore.”


    “What would you prefer to be called then if not Ben? And who do you want to punch? Marcus‘ deep


    voice echoed from the office entrance.


    Ben didn’t dare to look back, “President Hartley”


    Usually, Marcus would just call them, why would he personallye to their office today? And he


    heard him “punching Cornelia.


    Ben felt his career might be over. Or maybe, his life wasing to an end.


    Cornelia asked, “President Hartley, what brings you here?”


    Marcus‘ gaze shifted to Cornelia, instantly bing much softer, “Can you arrange for Ynda to


    personally guide Tahlia, to ensure she quickly bes familiar


    with the work?”


    Cornelia felt a bit uneasy, but as Marcus‘ assistant, she didn’t ask further, just replied, “Yes, I’ll arrange


    it right away.”


    After Cornelia left, Ben cautiously looked at Marcus, “President Hartley, I was just joking with Cornelia,


    I didn’t really punch her


    Marcus replied, “Do I look like I can’t tell you’re joking?”


    Ben was at a loss for words. If Marcus knew he was joking, why did he still look at him with such


    intimidating eyes?

    Marcus was silent, just staring at Ben, giving him the chills.
