    Chapter 1067


    Marcus dodged sideways, avoiding the hand that the woman was reaching out to him.


    The woman missed him and smiled even more enchantingly, “President Hartley, what are you


    dodging? You think I’d hurt you?”


    Marcus‘ look suddenly turned cold. “Cut it out!”


    The woman said, “President Hartley, then what do you want? You want to hook up with me? Fine, I’m


    game.”


    Cornelia sneered. Did this woman think she was invisible? Boldly flirting with her husband right in front


    of her


    Cornelia stepped forward, standing in front of Marcus, coldly staring down the woman.


    The woman didn’t back down. She sized up Cornelia, ‘Mrs. Hartley, my colleague is quite handsome,


    and he gives great service, aren’t you tempted?”


    Comeliapletely ignored the woman’s provocation, and yelled into the room, Zavier, get out here!”


    “President Hartley and Mrs. Hartley do not require your services. All of you leave.” With the familiar


    male voice, Zavier slowly emerged from the shadows.


    The woman and the man heard themand, answered simultaneously and quietly backed off.


    Comelia instinctively looked behind Zavier, searching for Skyler


    Zavierughed, “No need to look. Skyler’s bent, still asleep


    Cornelia remained silent.


    Zavier turned to Marcus, a challenging look on his face, “Marcus, fancy a drink with me tonight?”


    Cornelia said, “His stomach doesn’t agree with alcohol.”


    Zavier said, “Marcus, can you rein in your wife? When men are talking, can she keep her yap shut?


    See, Skyler does it just right, never butts in when we’re talking. Women should take a leaf out of


    Skyler’s book.”


    Cornelia was rendered speechless. It was the 21st century and this man still held such outdated views.


    No wonder Skyler chose death over staying with him.


    Marcus finally spoke. In a low voice he said, “My wife is an independent individual. What she says or


    does is her prerogative”


    Zavier said, “One day she’ll bleed you dry.”


    Marcus said, “I’m loaded. If she can bankrupt me, it just proves her capabilities.”

    Zavier said. “Is that so?”


    Marcus said, “We’ve been standing for a while, don’t you want to offer us a seat?”


    Zavier said, “To be honest, not really.”


    Marcus took Cornelia’s hand, “We’ll take our leave then.”


    Zavier said, “Alright, I can’t win against you two. I just want to know if you could have a few drinks with


    me tonight.”


    Marcus said, “Sure”


    Cornelia wanted to protest, but she figured Marcus knew what he was doing, so she let him go.


    Zavier was very generous, preparing a table full ofvish dishes with all sorts of delicacies


    Zavier invited Marcus and Cornelia to sit first, then he got up to walk towards the inner court, “You guys


    start eating. I’ll go check if Skyler’s awake”


    Cornelia was famished, she didn’t want to hold back. She picked up the fork and knife ready to dig in


    and fill her stomach. But as she picked up the utensils, Marcus stopped her, “Don’t rush to eat”


    He told her not to rush, but he himself started sampling some dishes.
