Chapter 122
Cornelia, of course knew how awesome Marcus was, and giving him full marks was totally justified Ms
Lacy, why not a 107
The only flaw is that he’s not my man “Alvina Lacy thought for a moment and used a metaphor only a
gel could understand it’s like you have your eye on a limited edition bag, but when you’re about to pay,
you’re told it’s been bought by someone else. Can you still give that bag a 107”
It was the first time Cornelia heard someone compare Marcus to a bag, and she couldn’t help but
laugh. “Ms: Lacy, keep talking, I
love listening to you”
*Just call me Alvina “Alvina Lacy refilled Cornelia’s wine glass. “Cornelia, you know I really like you too.
Today, at the opening ceremony. I looked at you for so long but you never gave me a
response”
Cornelia was flattered “Are you sure you were looking at me during the opening ceremony, not at

“Of course I looked at him and you I’m just an ordinary person. What’s wrong with enjoying good-
looking guys and gals?”
1s Ms Lacy complimenting me?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
“Thank you, Ms Lacy!”
“Cornelia, your skin is so good. Which skincare brand do you use? Recommend it to me, and I give it a
try.”
Cornelia was not shy. Any skincare product works for me.”
The two chatted more and more, not only about men and skincare but also about entertainment gossip.
They talked about everything girls could chat about.
While chatting and drinking, the two bottles of red wine quickly emptied, and Alvina Lacy ordered a
bottle of champagne.
Cornelia rarely chatted so much with people she wasn’t familiar with, but she and Alvina Lacy really hit
it off. They not only exchanged contact information but also made plans for ther
next meeting
When they were full, Cornelia was already too drunk to tell direction
Alvina Lacy, who was also struggling, supported her. “Cornelia, let me take you home.”
Cornelia hiccupped “Okay, you take me home first, then I’ll take you home, deal?”
The hotel staff couldn’t bear to see the two drunk women helping each other. “Ladies, we can arrange a
shuttle car to take you back:
“We are not drunk. Why do you need to arrange a car for us?” Alvina Lacy hugged Cornelia and
suddenly kissed her cheek. “I like Cornelia, and I’want to walk her home. No one can stop
me”
Cornelia, who had been kissed, was not angry but echoed, “Right, we are sober. You can’t fool us out
of our money.”
At this time, you think of money?”
Marcus’s deep and pleasant voice, with a hint of sternness, reached Cornelia’s ears, and she found it

She was not only drunk enough to be kissed by another woman but also drunk enough not to recognize
him.
Marcus pulled her into his arms and smelled the strong alcohol on her. “how much did you drink?”
Cornelia had disappeared after work in the afternoon, and he had waited for her all evening without
seeing her. He called her, but she didn’t answer.
Worried about her safety, he went out to find her and saw her looking tipsy.
Im not drunk! I can walk just fine.” Cornelia could indeed walk on her own, but her steps were unsteady,
and she would surely fall if she took a few more steps
Alvina Lacy, who was also unsteady on her feet, mocked her. “Cornelia, you walk like a penguin,
hahaha.”
“You guys arrange for someone to take her home After instructing the staff to send Alvina Lacy home,
Marcus carefully held the unsteady Cornelia in his arms. “Let’s go home”
