When Marcus was hanging out with his buddies, Cornelin and Ben didn’t need to stick around, so the two finally had a chance to take a break. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Cornelia ordered a juice from the waiter, found a quiet corner, took off her high heeled shoes, and decided to chill
As soon as she sat down, she felt some not–so–friendly eves staring at her
She looked up and saw Nataba
Tonight, Natalia was wearing a red evening gown, looking quite eye–catching among the crowd. Before Marcus arrived, many people thought she would become Marcus future wife, so they hung around her
However, when Marcus arrived, everyone’s attention shifted to him and his assistant
Natalia always looked at Marcus, but he didn’t pay her attention.
Marcus ignored her but kept looking at Cornelia, who was always by his side
Natalia thought she was way better than Cornelia in every way. Cornelia was just a little assistant, so she didn’t understand why she could always be with Marcus, enjoying everyones admiring glances
This distance from Marcus made Natalia angrier, and when she saw Cornelia alone, she followed her
She sat beside Cornelia, raised her foot, rubbed her ankle, and arrogantly ordered, “Cornelia, my feet hurt. Go get me some juice”
Cornelia completely ignored her and continued to sip her juice leisurely.
Natalia was spoiled and never treated with such indifference. She angrily slapped the juice cup in Cornelia’s hand, “Bitch, are you deaf?”
Cornelia grabbed her wrist, leaned in close, and whispered, “Ms. Reese, what gives you the right to order me around?”
Natalia was startled by Cornelia’s attitude and yelled, “You’re just an assistant. Don’t you know I can kick you out of Riverton?”
Another person wants her to leave Riverton!
Cornelia laughed, Tm Mr. Hartley’s assistant, and I only serve him. If you want to order me around, try becoming his wife first. Then, you can even ask me to polish your shoes, no problem.” Natalia was about to retort but suddenly saw Marcus standing in a corner behind them from the corner of her eye.
She had a quick idea but soon came up with a counterplan
She blinked, tears rolling down her cheeks, “Cornelia, I promise I won’t bother Marcus anymore. Can you let go of me? My wrist hurts so bad.
Cornelia didn’t look back, but she knew someone must have come, and it was very likely Marcus
She turned around and saw Marcus standing behind them, his arms crossed, seemingly watching a good show.
Cornelia let go of Natalia’s hand, “Mr. Hartley…”
“Marcus… Natalia’s voice choked, “Don’t blame Cornelia. She didn’t mean to hit me…”
Cornelia couldn’t help but laugh.
She thought Natalia was brilliant, but she was as dumb as a pig.
“I won’t blame her. Even if she hit you on purpose, what’s the big deal? Be grateful you didn’t hit her back. Otherwise… Marcus glanced at Natalia’s right hand, then lit a cigarette and started smoking slowly
Marcus only said one sentence, but it carried a lot of information. Natalia’s face turned pale in fright, and she instinctively hid her right hand behind her back-
“Natalia, the game is about to start. Why did you come here? Briana arrived just in time. Seeing Marcus and Cornelia there as well, she smiled warmly, “Marcus, Cornelia, good evening!”
Marcus didn’t even look at her as he smoked his cigarette.
