The two amused Cornelia, and she laughed, saying. “You guys keep mindlessly praising me like this. Are you trying to stroke my ego?”
Abigail replied, “You’re so awesome. Cant we compliment you a bil?”
Zack chimed in, “Exactly!”
Cornelia suddenly became serious, Why does being with someone of the opposite gender always lead to such negative assumptions? Zack and I have been living together for over 20 years, has there ever been any love between us?”
Abigail replied. “Can Zack even be considered a man?”
Cornelia responded, Definitely not.”
Zack said, Ladies, please watch your words!”
Cornelia thought for a moment, “Why do you guys think something might be happening between me and my boss?”
Abigail asked, is there?”
Cornelia glared at her, ‘Don’t joke around. I’m seriously asking you.”
Abigail answered. Because I like the plot of powerful CEOs falling in love. Imagine a handsome and wealthy CEO falling for a beautiful young secretary, dating and working together. Just thinking about it feels so wonderful!”
Cornelia glared at her again, “You’re in dreamland, yikes! Zack, your turn.”
Zack said, Tm afraid if I say it, you’ll get angry”
Cornelia said, “Just say it. I promise I won’t get mad”
Zack said, “I’m also interested in the scenario Abby mentioned”
Cornelia was speechless.
She wanted to get angry.
Although she didn’t get a helpful explanation from them, Cornelia still found many reasons people might think she and Marcus were a couple from their jokes.
First, because of work, she was the closest female to Marcus.
Second, she was pretty attractive, and when a good–looking man and woman are together, people tend to overthink and assume.
She would do the same. She always took a second look when she saw a beautiful young couple on the street. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
After breakfast, Zach and Abigail went to the studio.
As soon as Zack drove away, two burly men jumped out of a parked business car and blocked Cornelia in the middle, “Ms. Stewart, the lady wants to see you. Please come with us.” They were aggressive, not asking for her permission but trying to take her away by force.
Cornelia quietly reached for her phone in her bag, ready to call for help, “Who is this lady you’re talking about?”
“Ms. Stewart, you’ll know when you get there.” The burly man saw Cornelia’s actions, snatched her bag, and put her in the car before she could react.
The two burly men sat on either side of Cornelia, and she struggled but couldn’t break free, “Who are you guys? Do you know what you’re doing?”
One of them said, “Ms. Stewart, as long as you cooperate with us, we guarantee not to hurt you.”
Who would believe a kidnapper’s words? Cornelia looked at the speaker, “This is kidnapping, an illegal act. If you let me go now, I can pretend this never happened. Otherwise…” “Heh… The man glanced at Cornelia as if she was a fool.
Cornelia knew that talking about the law with these people would be useless, but it was the only thing she could think of to save herself.
