Chapter 321
Briana didn’t want to leave Cornelia, but had to do as her brother said, “Comelia. I totally spaced out
and forgot about our shopping trip because I was on the phone for so long I didn’t mean to ditch you”
Comelia responded. “Why do I get the feeling you did?”
Briana was unsure if Cornelia was onto something and felt a knot in her stomach “Why would you think
I ditched you on purpose?”
Comelia replied. “Woman’s intuition”
Just intuition, no concrete evidence Briana thought she was in the clear “Womans intuition can be spot
on, but its not always 100%. Trust me. I didn’t mean to leave you and my brother Can you forgive me? |

Cornelia decided to tease her, “I don’t feel like forgiving you”
Briana was totally thrown for a loop. “Why won’t you forgive me? Do you not like me anymore?”
Hearing Briana’s voice filled with panic, Comelia realized she might have pushed the joke too far “I was
just messing with you”
Briana was neatly in tears, only to find out Comelia was joking “When did you become such a
prankster? You scared the life out of me. I thought you were mad at me and wouldn’t like me anymore”
Comelia laughed and said. “I like you! A let”
Briana responded. “I like you too, a whole lot!”
On the side, Marcus was green with envy hearing Cornelia’s words Comelia spent way more time with
Briana than she did with him. How did they establish such a strong bond so quickly, white he could
never seem to win Comella over?
Marcus wished he could look in a mirror to see what was wrong with him. Why did all the other women
like him but not Cornelia?
“Comelia, let’s head home” Marcus had to end the conversation otherwise he would stand in the
parking lot for hours while in the two ladies chatted.
“Sure” Comelia turned to get into the passenger seat
Marcus was still playing chauffeur, he started the car and drove home. Despite his poker face, Cornelia
could detect his mood was off, “President Hartley, is something wrong? Any issues at the office?
Cornelia, what do you think of me? If you were single and I were single, would I be your type? Would I

would avoid him He could even lose his chance to go shopping with her
He couldn’t voice his true feelings, never had he felt so frustrated Facing Comelia, he said, Tm fine
Everything at the office is fine. Don’t overthink it”
At this point, Comelia couldn’t decipher Marcus true feelings Perhaps she had misunderstood earlier.
“Alright”
The ride home was only a few miles with no traffic. It shouldn’t have taken long, but Marcus was driving
so slow, even the cyclists were passing them
Cornelia didn’t want to rush him, so she took out her phone and started chatting with Briana
Marcus kept driving Cornelia, in the passenger seat, was busy chatting with Briana on WhatsApp He
had no idea what they were talking about, but Cornelia seemed to be enjoying herself.
He cleared his throat lightly trying to get Cornelia’s attention
