She had a very happy smile, a smile that came from the bottom of her heart, nothing like the standard
smile at work.
Marcus really wanted to rip off Zack’s coat and throw his own over Cornelia, but reason held him back.
Watching another man care for his wife while he couldn’t do anything was eating him up inside
Abigail asked President Hartley, can you drive?”
Ayden was waiting in his car nearby, but Marcus shook his head, “Nope.”
Abigail said, “If you dont mind, you can ride with us”
The cheapest car Marcus went out was worth a million dollars, Cornelia worried that he was not used
to it, “President Hartley, why don’t you just wait for the driver to pick you up ”
No need “Marcus got into Zack’s car first, choosing the passenger seat to prevent Cornelia from sitting

Abigail also followed into the car, but Cornelia quickly grabbed her and whispered, “Abby, that’s
Marcus, and he’s married Watch what you say, okay?”
Abigail didn’t care, “What’s his marriage got to do with me? I’m not trying to be the other woman. I just
want to chat with a handsome man for once to add some excitement to my boring life”
Cornela said, “This guy isn’t as easygoing as he seems.
think he’s pretty nice, actually. He doesn’t act all high and mighty around us regular folks.” As Abigail
spoke to Cornelia, she kept her eyes on Marcus, “This man is gorgeous, both in looks and physique.
He’s way better than any male celebrity I’ve ever seen”
Cornelia replied, “Girl, you’re hopeless”
Abigail said, “Nelly, I’m not complimenting you. You are the only one who can keep calm with such a
handsome man every day. If I were you, I would have already figured out a way to pursue him ”
Cornelia quickly covered Abigails mouth, “Please, have some restraint! I still have to work with him
tomorrow.”
“Ugh, I want to be restrained, but I just can’t!” Abigail got into the car and kept trying to make
conversation with Marcus.
Since she was Cornelia’s good friend, Marcus didn’t totally ignore her, but his answers were brief. The
most Cornelia heard him say was a simple “Mhm,”
Even though he was being cold, Abigail continued to pry. “President Hartley, I heard from Nelly that
you’re married?”
Hearing Abigail bring up this sensitive topic, Cornelia feared Marcus would get angry.
But the anger Cornelia expected never came. Instead, Marcus said in his pleasant voice, “Yep, I’am
married. My wife is a great girl. I misunderstood her before, which caused some distance between us. I
want to make it up to her now, but I don’t know if she will forgive me?”

Abigail immediately answered, “Of course she would! You’re so good-looking, what’s a little
misunderstanding? Even if you had a bunch of mistresses, she’d still forgive you.”
Marcus glanced at her, and Abigail suddenly felt a chill. This man seemed kind of scary
He looked back at Cornelia, wanting her answer. Cornelia had planned to just brush it off
But she thought about her own experiences and how the rumors about his wife’s infidelity were
spreading, causing damage that couldn’t be undone with just a simple misunderstanding Could he
really solve everything with just one word, misunderstanding”? Did he ever consider what his wife had
gone through during this time?
Cornelia wouldn’t forgive him, but she didnt know the depth of their relationship, President Hartley
doubted her because he didn’t trust her enough. He spread unconfirmed rumors, causing her even
more pain. Whether your wife will forgive you is something you should ask her yourself. It doesn’t
matter what we say
