Mr. Harley can trust you?” Cornelia didn’t know what Skyler Blue had been through only that if Zavier got his hands on her theid probably not survive
Marcus raised his hand and gently ruffled her hair answering with certainty. “Absolutely
Since he said so she decided to trust him “Skyler Blue took off without her phone. I’m worried sick about her Can you arrange for someone to tall her and discreetly escort her to the pover she wants to go, without Zavin finding out?”
Cornelia knew this was requiring too much and would waste a ton of time and resources
But Marcus was the only one with enough clout to go head to head with Zavier and help Skyler escape his clutches
“Don’t worry whatever it costs. I pay for in “Before Cornelia could finish her sentence, Marcus dialed a number. Have someone follow Skyler Blue and help her get to when she wants to go Make sure Zavier’s people don’t find out
With Marcus word Cornelia instanth felt relieved. “Mr Hartley, thank you!”
He gently patted her shoulder, saying softly. “Cornelia, no need to thank me Whatever you need, just let me know if it’s within my power. I do my best to make it happen
His words brought back all the worries she thought shed brushed off. Not wanting to dwell on it, she decided to lay it out straight. Mr. Hartley it’s just us here Your wife can’t hear un You
can stop the act”
Marcus raised an eyebrow. “Oh7”
Cornelia went on. 7m sorry, I misunderstood your intentions today. I thought you were hitting on me. It was only after a friend helped me analyze that I realized you were using me to get a rise out of your wife. Mr. Hartley, my marriage is a mess too, but I want to give you some advice Are you willing to hear it?”
Marcus was all ears, ‘Go ahead”
Cornelia said “believe sincerity and communication are crucial in a marriage if you love your wife, you should communicate properly with her. Using another woman to provoke har in my opinion, is not a smart move”
Marcus replied. “I didn’t use you to provoke anyone. Every word I said to you was genuine”
Cornelia asked. “So you really want to.”
wasn’t trying to hit on you “He wasn’t trying to hit on her, he was trying to pursue her. As a husband, he should help his wife carry her burdens.
Thats a relief Cornelia patted her chest, repeating that’s a relief” a few times. Then she said, “Since you don’t have any other intentions towards me, please refrain from saying things that could be misunderstood. It’s not fair to your wife.”
She was such an innocent girl in her personal life, always speaking her mind, not beating around the bush. It was a stark contrast to her serious and meticulous work persona Marcus was glad to see her good qualities, glad that his wife was her. “My wife is the best girl in the world. Marrying her is my good fortune. I’ll never let her down in this lifetime. Same goes for you. Focus on your work and stop overthinking”
“Okay”
“Don’t worry about Skyler Blue I’ll keep you updated.”
“Thank you Mr Hartley!”
“Go get some rest. I’m heading downstairs.” With that, he turned and left.
As he stepped outside, Ayden was standing at the door. “Mr. Hartley, we’ve got people in place for the Skyler Blue situation.”
Marcus nodded, “Make sure she’s safe. Zavier can’t find out where she is.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
“Yes“Ayden took the order but didn’t leave right away.
Marcus Anything else?
Ayden knew better than to overstep, but he couldn’t help but ask, “President Hartley, is there something wrong with Cornelia? Why do you take a fancy to your friend’s wife?”
Marcus gave him a look, “What are you thinking?”
Ayden was speechless.
