    Chapter 1193


    It was already after work hours, and only Marcus and Cornelia were left in the CEO’s office. Marcus


    lifted his hand, gently brushing Cornelia’s stray hair behind her ear, and asked, “Have you finished all


    the resignation procedures?”


    Comelia nodded, “Yes. From now on, you’re no longer my boss and won’t get to boss me around


    anymore.”


    Marcus chuckled, “From now on, I’ll listen to you.”


    “Alright. Let’s go out for dinner tonight. I just made a pretty penny and I want to treat you! Cornelia said,


    draping her arm around his.


    Marcus replied “Sounds good”


    “What do you feel like eating?” Cornelia asked.


    I’m not picky, we can eat whatever you want Marcus said.


    “Are you sure you’re not picky? Have you forgotten that you even choose your water carefully?


    Cornelia couldn’t believe Marcus would say he was not picky


    Marcus replied, “That was in the past. Now that I’m with you, I find everything delicious.”


    This made Cornelia feel incredibly sweet. She tiptoed to his eye level, “Me too. Everything tastes


    fantastic when I’m with you.”


    Marcus wrapped his arms around Comelia’s waist, lifting her up and pulling her closer, “Cornelia.”


    Because they were so close, his breath lightly brushed past her nose, making her feel ticklish, very


    ambiguous. Cornelia thought he was about to kiss her and instinctively closed her eyes. But instead of


    his kiss, she heard his lowughter, “What on earth are you thinking about all day?”


    Cornelia immediately opened her eyes and red at him in annoyance. “Hmph, if you don’t want to


    kiss me, that’s fine, but don’t mock me. I don’t want to talk to you anymore.”


    Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished her sentence, Marcus eager lips met hers. He was kissing her


    very seriously


    Yes, seriously!


    Soon, Cornelia was following his rhythm, lost in his kiss. When their kiss ended, Cornelia felt a bit dizzy


    Then she heard Marcus teasing her. “You’re such a fast learner at work, why haven’t you improved


    your kissing skills?


    Cornelia was speechless. This man was too much! He was actually mocking her for not being able to


    kiss!


    Cornelia’spetitive nature made her unwilling to ept defeat, so she pounced on Marcus. She


    imitated his motions and kissed him back. After the kiss, she even lifted her head, “Who said I couldn’t


    kiss?”


    “Well, you’re teachable.” Marcus rubbed his sore lip, his eyes twinkling behind his silver sses.


    “You sreaky man!’ Cornelia said. She suddenly realized she had been provoked by him.


    Marcus,ughing so hard his chest was shaking, pulled the furning Cornelia into his arms, ‘My


    Cornelia, you’re so adorable.”


    Adorable enough that he wanted to gobble her up


    Adorable enough that he wanted to protect her forever, making her worry-free.


    Adorable enough that just looking at her made him feel incredibly happy.


    Cornelia said, ‘I’m done arguing with you. I’m hungry, let’s go eat ”


    “Alright” Marcus replied.


    Little did Marcus know, the restaurant Cornelia chose was the one she had booked for him and Mrs.


    Hartley for a date a year ago when they didn’t know each other’s identities and she was his assistantCcontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
